want to be my caretaker?
What are ur res temps around?ive never had any issue with rez temps and "funk"
i use pure blend pro
cal/mag
sweet
liq karma
hydroplex (messing with this one)
Hey DB,they dont measure the amount of pvc pipe inside the connectors for future reference......and i think u do need more elbows if i remember right
i altered all the measurements for my personal setups
the person that did the dimensions didnt include the standard extra 1/2 inch that u need that goes into the connectorsHey DB,
Will you clarify what you mean by this statement? '...the amount of pvc pipe inside the connectors...' I'm preparing my parts list and would like to avoid as many mistakes as possible.
Btw, keep us updated on the Hydroplex... I've been trying to get someone to provide some info on this component who is using the SB setup. I'm currently using in soil, but can't really say if it's helped. Cheers, dak
Ah man you have root rot? Yeah people have had it in this system too the right environmental conditions and any roots will rot. How bad is it? Did you try to clean it up? What have you done already?Anyone useing the SB system ever had probs with root rot?
First off let me say thanks for all the information and tips in this thread. I know im about 800 pages late. I have not bothered to read all 800 pages. However, has anyone actually counted the needed tees and elbows to build this? It says you only need 8 3/4" Tees but i can clearly see in the picture (now, after getting home with parts and finding this out the hard way unfortunately) that there are 14 3/4" inch tees needed. Also, he said you need 10 3/4 elbows when in reality you need 12.
Long story short, according to the .pdf you need 8x 3/4" tees and 10x 3/4 elbows. I found the only way to replicate his build was with 14x 3/4 tees and 12x 3/4 eblows.
All numbers on 1/2" was correct.
am i going nuts here? i wish i didnt have a duplicate in front of me to reassure my numbers here.... im fairly certain im right. I know the blueberry cheese is good shit, but its not thaat good...? help?
Here is the formula for my flower room:
Botanicare Nutrients:
126ml Cal-Mag Plus
150ml Sweet
180ml Liquid Karma
540mlL Pure Bend Pro Bloom
Mix all the nutrients in a spare gallon milk container. Add water and shake well. The whole mix will take an 18 gal rez to 2900 PPM.
You need a PPM meter that goes to at least 2000 PPM.
Add about half of the mix and check your PPM. It will be low so you will have to keep adding nutrients until you get it to 2000 PPM.
It is easy to add more nutes but hard to take them out If you go over you have to drain some nute/water from the rez and add more plain water.
That's why you want take it slow at first.
Always adjust your PH after you set your nutrients PPM.
