hahahah ouch hey hell raizer when you use the compost tea are you adding an sources of Np or K at all? Reason i ask is i change my res every 7 days and let it flush 24 hrs in fresh water before adding a new nutrient solution, should i add the tea to the nutrient solution or do i add it to the flush water im using?
This is sorta the same thing I was asking about midweek or with nutes in a fresh rez I think.

Ewc is super simple to find a bags like 12bucks and walmart has it
The hydroshop had it, I needed to reup on my nutes so I got it and the myco while I was there. I am using a 30 gal rez and I have a 3gal bucket of water waiting for me to mix it up. You have yourself a very excited padawan! Gonna post pics up in my journal. I have been waiting to start teas and that sort of thing til I understood the game more and I feel like they were so simple that I should have done this soooooo long ago in my soil days.

Thanks again, HR30-san.

lol if you can what i would highly suggest, sounds like you got DWC going right now, you should start something bubbleponicaly, its basically DWC only your resivoir gets circulated from the bottom of the bucket to the top down through hydroton back into the lower resivour its basically dwc with 2 buckets and the top bucket is filled with hydroton and the dripper drips 24/7 never NEVER had anything grow like this before, not in ebb and flow not in DWC nothing. bubble ponics is where its at unless your goin hardcore fog ponics. Im way against aeroponics as a way to grow hydroponically because they plants have a very hard time absorbing the water becasue the droplets arent small enough you have to get em to a certain micron size for it to work properly and its easier done with fog than aeroponically. Check it out interesting stuff. Thats why i run bubble ponics i used to think aero was where it was at til i did more research and found out its a waste of money since you wont get any better results than regular hydro unless you DUMP DUMP DUMP DUMP money into it for gnarls ass equipment.

no money dumping yet. not until i get a plant to grow perfectly in DWC with my current nutes. then i was actually thinking about just doing a few DWC grows before upgrading and i would really like to go EBB and grow, also my strains take forever to grow so its gonna be a while

EDIT: i do't understand aero i find when shit gets more pricy than what it gives i loose interest

im tellin you man i run both ebb and grow and bubble ponics and ive ran dwc really you dont need to do much to convert your dwc setup to bubbleponics get a water pump go to your nearest hardware store and get some irigation line, or if your interested i can show you how gh uses an air pump to airate the water as well as flow it to the top of the dripper its really exatly what your runin right now with some slight DIY modification. Look into it man it helps with root slime and stuff like that because the water is always circulateing.

waterfarms are the SHIT!!!! especially when your doing an outdoor hydro grow in their 20 gallon water farm MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA cant wait for that next season lol thats gonna be a 10 footer for sure if i can keep it from flowering on me lol

THAT sir would DECIMATE, you should be able to get pumps from the fish store water pumps and air pumps. Any home improvement store has water pumps as im sure u know for the previously stated fountain pump. Damn you gotta work to find your stuff man i wish i could just tell you to go to homedepot lol

i believe you asked somewhere about transplanting from soil to hydro mugan its pretty easy gently rinse your roots down in ph water if you can if not whatever just rinse carefully get as much medium out as possible and pop in the hydro, drain resivoir after a few days cause your gonna have some straggly dirt in there and your done.

Go to the AMC section and check out cannawizards thread on doo doo tea he has a sick recipe but hes laggin on postin it maybe if we all bug him hill give us the low down quicker lol

*looks over shoulder for cannawizard* whew hes not on this page yet lol
