awhile back i mixed all my hydroton and growstones together.
Oh, okay. So what are you using now? I might switch to growstones down the road because they seem to retain a bit more moisture than hydroton. I think I also heard that they contribute a bit of silica. I could be wrong about that, though.

Gotcha. When you said "awhile back" I thought you meant that it was something that you once did but don't any longer. My mistake.

Go read another book! I talk from experience. I know you're leaning more towards theoretical than practical knowledge from your previous comments. You can't say I'm wrong, there's to many variables to take into consideration.

So everybody that finds out from practice they need to run chiller are complete idiots from your point of view? Algae and bad bacteria cultures thrive in higher temperatures. I want complete control, not guessing games.

People often consult me about their grow rooms and setup. The most common issue in hydroponics comes from mixing organics with high temperatures.
I don't grow be a shit who consults you.

I run a live system and who are you to say I'm speaking from books? I have plenty of experience either way and telling you that you are wrong. If you can't keep healthy plants in a live system you are doing something wrong. Sterile is a band aid.

I have seen your growth rates and they are very underwhelming

I have run both successfully to be fair. I got better results and less hassle going sterile. It all depends on what system you use and what you want to achieve.

I would love to compare growth rates with you. Do you have any current pictures on your plants?

You're all talk and no show that's why I say you mostly talk from books. You always lay down theoretical arguments but got nothing to show for yourself.

Wow, I've never started a thread that turned into a pissing match before. No offense to either of you. I appreciate your help. Just sorry to see it come to this.

I'm really sorry about that. He always seems to be looking for a penis measuring contest.. We all do things differently that's what's so fascinating about this hobby. There's so many ways to the finish line!

We should promote each other and be as transparent as can be. I want to help others, that's why I'm on this site.

No worries at all. I can only liken the experience to seeing two friends fight. It makes things a little uncomfortable but after spending some time here (or on any forum for that matter) it's easy enough to weed those kinds of posts out and find the information that we seek. You're absolutely right about how we all have different techniques to achieve the same goal. I tend to think that the same applies to each of us outside in 'the real world'. As the recently departed Ram Dass was famous for saying.. "We're all just walking each other home."

Love serve remember!

He was such a remarkable human being. He changed so many people's lives through his work. I love him dearly, he changed my life in so many positive ways. I see him as one of my greatest teachers.

Just Be, Don't know if you've read this thread.. https://www.rollitup.org/t/pineapple-express-g13-labs-seed-to-harvest.344359/ The first dozen pages is start to finish.. Have been using only modified WFs or diy waterfarms since I first read that thread.. Here's 2 completed WFs from a few years ago.. Also there's a coco/perlite plant under a 430hps, all three different plants feed the same fert., same ppm.. Bunch of hype about ferts.. Did add silica, and ph down when needed.. It was winter no chiller used.. It's needed in the summer..
Can't help with feeding using your nutes. I only used one fertilizer with the linked grow.. Flora Nova Bloom.. Most of what's in the thread is scattered throughout this site.. For a low profile plant, an Indica leaning plant like the Blackberry would be a good choice..

Thanks, mytwhyt. I have seen and read through that thread. It's definitely one of the more popular WaterFarm threads out there. I'll be growing in late spring and again in early fall when the tamps are a little easier to deal with. Sticking with the autos for now so those should not get too crazy height wise.

Just because I don't post dick swinging pictures does not mean im speaking theoretical or from books. It means I would rather not judge knowledge bases on pics.

Does that satisfy you now? Or in your mind am I still just theoretical and posting info from books.

Fyi reading information and studies then applying information equates to knowledge. Regurgitated broscience is garbage. I hope we can get past the fact you think I know nothing because I choose not to post dick pics of my grows to prove anything as a validation of my knowledge.

Back on the subject of DTW, I'm wondering if I can begin the actual process of DTW once the lone plant has begun drinking heavily. I'm not sure if there's much benefit of mixing up a fresh batch of nutes every day for the first three or four weeks of an auto's 70-ish day life cycle. Anyone have any input on this?

That's awesome. It's not like two gallons is a whole hell of a lot but it'll save me time, effort, water and some expensive nutes.
