    I added a dehumidifier along with a condensation pump. I pump the water right back into the mix. Unfortunately this little thing doesn't seem to work well. With the co2 on the humidity can still get into the 70's. It adds 2f to the air temperatures.

    I decided to add some additives to help with bud density. They seem to be responding well. Will they resume growing taller after I take the Pk 13/14 out of the mix? Currently on day 25 of bloom. Aff-gooey and perma-frost. They are approximately 43" tall. This tent is stuffed to the bloody...

    Will my pump be suitable to run DWC?

    Definitly invest in a good air pump. Also if you can manage it get a U.P.S. "uninteruptable power supply" they are cheap and you will be gratefull to have it when your power goes out. Plants won't last long without air.

    I havent had any slime problems for several days now. I cut the hygrozyme out of the mix and installed a water chiller. I also took the plants out and ran a strong bleach solution through the system for several hours "used a whole gallon of bleach". The PH is extremly stable. It fluctuates for...

    I will definitely look into the tea. Sounds like a cheaper way to do things. The instructions on the back of the HygroZyme specifically say that you can use it with H2O2.

    Until today I was using the both H2O2 and HygroZyme. The HygroZyme is the only thing i'm not familiar with in my mix so I cut it out of the line up until I can get rid of this nasty slime.

    Had the same slime issue again. The water temp got up to 23c. My freezer can't freeze the 2 liter bottles fast enough to cool this thing down. I went out and bought a 1/4 hp water chiller and 1/6 hp sump pump.

    I did a bone head thing and plugged one of my air pumps into a powerstrip that is on timed power for lights. 4 of the buckets weren't getting air for 3 hours into lights out. I was also using the drip rings and this limited the nutrient exchange between contoller outside of the tent and buckets...
