grape ape? I want that, but far as i know its clone only.
right on glad to hear things are working out!Since it is cooling down around here I figured I could forgo the water chiller on my resovoir but the temps seems to be up in high 70's. I went ahead and got a chiller for my res and the plants have taken a notable turn! Seems to have really made a difference. finally getting this thing dialed in thanks to all of the tips on this forum.
8 pots in hydroton flooding every 4 hours for 15 minutes in 18/6 during lights on, none lights out. too much? Not enough? using GH full line if it matters?
man putting my res and controller in a separate room from the lights has really made a big difference, temps are in the mid to high 60's and have seen a great increase in pearly white roots! i would also suggest ether raising the buckets or lowering the controller for full bucket drainage this has seemed to have a great impact on the system IMHO, i havent seen this much roots in the lower buckets and im only on week one of flower and about week 2 since transplanting into the system.Since it is cooling down around here I figured I could forgo the water chiller on my resovoir but the temps seems to be up in high 70's.

a check valve? I had thought about using that some way (I have a 3/4 inch CAP recommended by hellraizer) but I wasn't seeing how it would help, I need to pump out of both cooler and back into one 3/4 inch line, unless I tie the coolers together at the drain and put a bucket between them to run back to the main res, this is all confusing and all I really wanna do is grow some really kickass weed but I've been failing lately . I think maybe this time will work out ok, only time will tell.Maybe one of those little inline one way flow restrictors would do the trick? Makes it so there is no backflow. I saw them at Home Depot in the irrigation section.
h202 is expensive whereas I can get a lifetime of chlorine in one bottle of hot tub shock...wow, just went and picked up a gallon of H202 and it was $50, geez! Also discovered that my local supplier is WAY cheaper if you buy online and has FREE shipping? WTF? The 6" Vortex was $27 cheaper on their website and you get a free gift (good ones too) if you spend over $200, like you ever get out of the hydro store for under 2 bills, right! Good to know this stuff for the future but for now I feel violated! HA! Gotta be someplace cheaper for H202, cant buy that online
fidy bux a gallon? must be 32 percent, I get 29 percent for like half that price and yeah its funny if you go into our local corporate hydro store you end up paying more for a product or less depending on what it is, I went in once and bought an atomist, cost me 240 plus tax when it stated online they were a little over 200, I questioned this and the employee told me that its actually a different company that has the online part of it but you couldn't tell by looking at the page, I needed the item so I let them gouge me but wasn't happy about it, haven't been back to that place since, my middle name is boycott.h202 is expensive whereas I can get a lifetime of chlorine in one bottle of hot tub shock...
I used to use H202 and bleach the 202 never really worked well and the bleach was better but if you miss a dose your res was wide open toDo You guys run H202 in your resi? and what are your guy's opinion on what the resi temp should be? I normally have min right around 70 degrees and haven't had a problem yet.
bleach def kills but I dunno man, it just seems so .......something...... I can't even think of a word....I used to use H202 and bleach the 202 never really worked well and the bleach was better but if you miss a dose your res was wide open to
bactiria, so now I use teas to combat bactiria.
