    in search of a good ph meter

    I have that meter and it works great. The reason it's so cheap is because it's shipped from Hong Kong. Keep in mind because of this mine took like a week and a half to arrive.

    the dudes cup of coffee

    Thread over? Did you chop them and give up or did the root rot kill them before you could act? I got root rot a month into 12/12 and I cut almost all the roots off and changed the water every day or two using hygrozyme and sm-90 and they are hanging in there. I'm sorry about the rot...it sucks BAD.

    how many air pumps?

    Definitely go for a "commercial" pump. I was using like 6 walmart pumps for my 4 buckets. When I switched to the eco plus 5 I noticed a tremendous increase in growth and a overall healthier root zone. One of the better purchases I made.

    The smell

    "This filter" is a large non-mechanical can shaped object. It's a simple design that forces air to pass through pounds of carbon chunks VIA a inline fan. It is typically placed inside the grow area and connected to ducting. The ducting runs somewhere outside the grow area so it maybe exuast the...

    The smell

    10 plants in an apartment sounds like bust waiting to happen. You will have no room for error. I run a carbon filter with a inline fan and just last night I made a mistake with the settings on the timer causing it to turn off way too long. In less than an hour my lady and I were woke up by the...

    most horrible noob cab grow

    How are you going to manipulate the height of your lights? Are your plants sitting on a table that's adjustable? If not that might be an issue in the near future.

    brown slimy roots

    I thought that becasue Hygrozyme is a bacteria free enzyme it's safe to use with low doses of H2O2. At least that's what it says on the side of the bottle...:dunce:

    Best Air Stone/Diffuser

    I just picked up a few of these... http://www.hydroponics.net/i/134030 ...from the hydro shop. The 4" are perfect for a bucket. I would recommend purchasing a T connector and running both outlets into one larger airstone. I've found it's the best method for the Eco Plus 2's.

    Here is a very similar meter that I purchased. Despite being shipped from HK it arrived quickly and has worked well. http://cgi.ebay.com/pH-Meter-Tester-Hydroponics-Mesure-calibration-Solution_W0QQitemZ250554499814QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a563642e6

    EcoPlus Commercial pumps: Any experience?

    I just purchased a EcoPlus Commercial Air 5 pump. I found a "perfectly working open box" on Ebay for $34.99! I was looking at a commercial 1 but the open box commercial 5 was cheaper. It will be replacing my 5 crappy wal-mart pumps that are pushing around 15 liters per minute total. I have 2...

    attitude tracker?

    Don't be paranoid! Have you ever used USPS tracking before? No matter what I have shipped by them it usually arrives before any major updates are made available via the tracking number. That's just how they roll, dawg. I had an order come in a few weeks ago and it still says they are in NY.

    Help with first DIY Bubbleponics/Root Rot!

    I'm no pro but I do have some experience with the subject at hand. I believe you have done the right thing by removing the rotted root mass and disinfecting the res. However, you need to fix the source of the problem or you will be fighting a futile battle. Is your setup light-proof? The res...

    DWC with brown roots.

    Thanks for the input man. The plants do look droopy. There is plenty of new growth but like I said they are droopy and kind of sad looking.

    DWC with brown roots.

    Why would you post that question in my thread? It's not even close or related to my question. Also, I have read that some nutrients can stain your roots. The nutrients I use are a yellowish color and the stuff on my roots is brownish. The thing is my res has always smelled fresh like a head...

    DWC with brown roots.

    I found these photos of horrible brown roots in a DWC system. I believe the person was using a air-cooled 400w HPS inside a tent. The cause of this seems to be the semi-transparent lid exposing the water to light. From the research I've done on Rosemans Bubbleponics thread I assume this person...
