You are right. I am, or rather will be using hybrid Aero/Nft, but only for budding. For my veggies I use aero in a box lol. I will improve with the temps now, since I have the t5 it should be much easier. I also mentioned this product several times and no one has made a comment about it: Dutch...

Are you being smart, or nasty, or what's your problem? No need for childish comments like that. Even a layperson like me knows that it depends on the concentration. The tap water concentration dissipates in less then 24 hours, other much higher concentrations can stay for days, weeks, even...

ADDON: Res changed over and up and running. Plants, especially roots, have shown growth. I am wondering did this happen because the Chlorine may have dissipated in the 3 days? I might try adding small amounts every 2 days, for a week to see what happens. What do you think guys?

My first week using bleach to fight smelly reservoir. After cleansing and cleaning I dared to use bleach, 0.5 ml/gal. Everything was immaculate. However, now on the 3rd day I got a pH fluctuation and the rez started to look cloudy. I was dumbfounded, but now I am realising that it MAY be because...

Update: Another pH fluctuation today (up), res is looking cloudy at the bottom. It was as clear as crystal yesterday. No smell yet. Gonna change my res now. My nutes are going like crazy in this pace. I had bleach in it and still it didn't stop it, weird! However, the bleach did not harm my...

T5 finally arrived. Have got rid of the annoying 600W HID. Note: the roots look small because of the recent changeover of pots: they were previously hanging, now they are coiled. I must admit that they have a brownish tint now. But no smell whatsoever. Side note: I added 0.5 ml/gal of bleach 2...

Thanks double :P

Just put in exactly that even before this post lol :D. Thanks for that. However, in futire I'm gonna get "Keep it Clean"

How's the bleach going on for everyone? I hope it ain't gonna kill my plants. I have tried and put 0.8 ml per gal. Hope I won't regret it.

What are Bennies if you don't mind me asking? I am considering buying this in the near future.. http://www.hydroponics-hydroponics.com/pd-keep-it-clean.cfm

That cannot be. I am running an airstone the past 2 days. Yes, I have high temps, need to sort that out. Yes I do. Have a look at the 1st page in this thread, there is a pic. I just finished a complete clean-up. Scrubbed the Res, airstone, everything. Ran bleach water. Have put in new nutes...

UPDATE ADD-ON: It's official. Just checked the res now again and it's starting to stink again, not as much as before though. So a rapid increase in pH (0.70–1 point in several hours) is a clear sign/precursor to Algae, or whatever the fuck these cunts are lol. My res temps do climb up to 77 at...

UPDATE: Everything was perfect and smooth till today. The pH stayed bang on 5.8 til late last night. Today it went up to 6.0, which is fine. I adjusted it to 5.5 only some hours ago. Had a look now and it has skyrocketed up to 6.5! There is no smell in the res whatsoever, though. The water...

A little update: After yesterdays change and clean up the res is still immaculate. No stink. I am keeping the temps lower. Got myself an airstone today also. BTW, the pH has been VERY stable since yesterday, as opposed a few days back when it went up a whole point over night because of (most...

Thanks y'all.

Let's say if your pumps fails while you're asleep. How many hours before they are irreversibly dead?

I wonder if Dutch Pro -- Keep It Clean is something like the procducts mentioned in the thread.

Excellent post!

BTW, do you keep your nutes and PHs Up and Down in the room, or in the fridge?

Right: Just washed the res (everything, aparatus, etc..) in the bath tub with soapy water. Then I ran bleach water through it, and then normal water. I was worried about the plants (to dry out) while it was taking so long, so I sprayed them with highly diluted bleach on the roots, as was...
