Just because I don't post dick swinging pictures does not mean im speaking theoretical or from books. It means I would rather not judge knowledge bases on pics. Does that satisfy you now? Or in your mind am I still just theoretical and posting info from books. Fyi reading information and...

I don't grow be a shit who consults you. I run a live system and who are you to say I'm speaking from books? I have plenty of experience either way and telling you that you are wrong. If you can't keep healthy plants in a live system you are doing something wrong. Sterile is a band aid. I have...

Tbh the simple way is outdoors in soil. Indoor hydro is just not that way although growth rates are a benefit to do so

I'm not trying to be right I'm trying to point out that statement is just plain wrong. Of course both methods work. I was not the one making the claims that a "clean" res is better while using enzymes that are created by bacteria. They are used because they are beneficial and bacteria produce...

You are kidding right? A clean root zone? What is clean? Beneficial bacteria and fungi are just that.... Beneficial. Hell the enzymes your using are created by bacteria...

Your right about the ph. Just check the ppm and adjust as needed. Mix a 1/3 strength add back should be close if your ppm is right. Test the ppm after and if it's higher the next time add back weaker if it's lower add back stronger till ya get it right

CO2 makes a difference only when the rest of the environment is specifically dialed in for its use. This is 10 days growth. I had to go away on a family emergency and my kid looked after them when I was gone. The day I left was flip day but since I was not going to be there I didn't want to...

OP in regards to the cycling of your air pump I would suggest against doing so. It will allow the stones and part of the lines to become saturated in water. This will speed up the clogging of your stones making them less efficient over time CO2 and o2 levels are independent of each other so yes...

Here is the problem. It goes beyond air bubbles. I can dig up plenty of evidence of needed but hoping you take my word for it. First what is a bubble. It's a pocket of air in water. This bubble is made up up different gasses with different rates of solubility. Some like CO2 dissolves easily...

Looking good man

Fwiw my opinion is if your getting 10x the volume of the sites (not system) turnover an hour any more is not necessary but also not harmful to a point. More than adequate for stable ppm, ph and o2 levels. I see people running huge gph and just kinda shake my head at the more is better concept...

Your veg ratio is perfect for a full grow. Personally I feel bloom nutes are a gimmick. Plants still need nitrogen and a small boost to K can be beneficial. But the ratios these companies are coming out with are garbage if you ask me. P is way to fucking high with them and not enough nitrogen...

That's definitely easier but provides little to no info about the plants needs. Unless your gonna sit down and do the math but then you are just doing what I am a different way. Im not saying the way I explained is the only or right way. It just provides some benefits that I feel can really...

Absolutely in growing there is generally never one right answer nor solution. Eg. Changing nutrients every week also can work.

The amount of change a day will be directly related to the volume of the solution and the amount of uptake. So while it does change daily the amount of change differs based on those factors. Also I would look at it as a small change in ratios as an imbalance would suggest the ratios are no...

Much agreed that's why after adding back the volume of the system you change the water. This has been time tested and proven to work. Without adding back anything the ratio will change faster. To give a simple example of why this works. If you look at planted tank aquariums most used what's...

It gives you so much info you can see the cycles of how the plant increases and slows nutrient uptake. You can see if anything is going wrong with respiration or roots almost immediately before visable signs based on ppm changes and water uptake... I mean it just provides so many answers and...

Ok your full res is EC 1.2 the plants drink 10 gal and as such ideally that concentration is going to increase as the plants are drinking slight more water than taking up food so the EC increases as the plants drink... Say 1.3 now after they drink 10 gal. You add back a solution of 33% the EC...

No debate someone had a question they asking in an old thread with relevant info to the question they had Mr. Hall monitor. Kinda the purpose of a forum. Funny things is how offended you are by someone else's questions.
