Alright so I guess new info has come to light...RE: Bubble size

This question was finally put to rest about a year ago on the AACT email group at Yahoo.com which is moderated by the author of 'Teaming' and Dr. Elaine Ingham is a regular poster there.

Bubble size has no impact one way or the other. It's all about the volume of air moving through your cistern - you want .4 cfm of air for each 1 gallon of water.

RE: Airstones

Airstones are not a good way to go - sure, they produce more than enough air/air bubbles but it's the cleaning that poses the challenge. If you do not remove all traces of the AACT then the aerobic microbes will turn anaerobic via the 'bio film' that the teas produce.

The advantage to using a PVC manifold is that because you're running a very low PSI number on the type of pumps generally used for 5-gallon brewers you don't have to glue the PVC parts together meaning that you can disassemble the entire manifold and soak in either hydrogen peroxide or Oxyclean resulting in a complete removal of the bio film.

You can cause huge problems in brewing your teas if there are big colonies of the anaerobic microbes. Keep that in mind when designing your brewer - keep the cleaning process at the top of your design list.

Since it’s Home Depot Bucket week here on RIU I decided to run with this idea, I made a manifold out of ½” PVC pipe, I just fired this fucker up this morning and it blows bubbles about ½ down the manifold, I think I’ll have to plumb another line on the opposite side of the manifold to create enough pressure to blow water out of the pipe, or I might have to run another pump if that doesn’t solve the problem, but it didn’t leak and that was my first priority.

After 48 hours EM-1, molasses and Grow Big tea....I don’t think GB kills off microbial life. I’m going to do the same test with a the entire FF trio at full strength just to see WTF happens….I often hear that the FF trio will kill off microbial life and shouldn’t be used in a living soil, we’ll find out soon enough. I’m doing this out of pure boredom and just to see for myself if all the “parrots” are right.

Thanks Puna, hope all is well over there with the new diggs.

Nice plants Sheck, do you do your cuts in coco? You ever get purple out of these ones? You must have a pretty fast turn around, how long from cut to harvest?

I start them in coco (as you probably saw in the pic)...that goes into 1 gallon pot (supersoil mix) 1 week, then transplanted into 3 gallon for remainder of grow..
I'm using the Bcuz coco and it's pretty much neutral pH by the time the cuttings have roots... Don't know how the coco effects my pH later in the process...

Indica doms are about a 7 week turnaround... (1 week for cuttings to root, 2 weeks vegging, 4 weeks flower, Harvest)
Strawberry White and the Og Fire are at 9 weeks total.... (same as above but 6 weeks flowering)

I am,

You can get worms from CL guys sometimes, the guys over at Olomana gardens have some too. I'd try to get the blues and reds if can. Coot might know a good place...

Should have just gave em some urine or top dressed with EWC, I try to stay away from any bottled nutes(but thats just me, and I'm a little crazy in the head.)...Koolau Farmers is great, check out Ikaika in Kaneohe, great kalo farming family. Don't you still have some of the FF Grow Big too, could have used that....and you are in Super Soil right? And you are getting a N def?

BTW, I'll have to meet Mrs. Coot someday, she must be a very colorful person to live with you....hehe

My piss is radioactive….lol…the blue diesel’s in super soil but my dumb ass put them in 3 gal containers knowing they’d go deficient at some point, it just happen to be in week 5(ish) and they’re really using up some (N) at the moment. I’ve been supplementing the DB with teas but I just can’t seem to give them enough (N). The grow big 521 was only $4 and it’s organic. I also wanted to see if it’s any good. I probably should just used the FF GB but I started having a guilty conscience at the thought of using it. I did top-dress them with a little SS but that was only a snack …lol

I’m going do the TW properly ….7 or 10 gallon containers and let the SS perform its magic. I’m going to pop the TW on the 24th.

Where in Kaneohe is Ikaika? I can't seem to find it on the net

Mrs Cooter is loon too! I guess that’s why we get along so good! Eh, anytime you want to hook up for a couple of brews just hallah at me! Me and the Mrs Loony Tunes are always down for a few…lol
