    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Hm. Need to do some more testing then. I had the exhaust fan sitting on the top of the tent, only a 250m3/h, but if that could be enough ? Funny thing is that I did not notice it before after 8 months of use, tho.

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Thank you for the kind words and motivation. Seems like this grow have been my most experience rich so far. What I recently found out about the ProGrow 400 LED light is that even tho I turn both veg/flower switches off these days (the timer was buggin' out), there is still some light coming out...

    Iiiish, have some spider mites crawling around. On the positive side of things, this grow have been a perfect stepping stone for me, experience and learning curve. Already made a mixture of garlic and chili that I have smeared on the underside of the leafs. Bumped the temperature down to 21-22...

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Update time! 43 days into flower, the end is near! The previous updates have been quite short so will take some time to add more details in this one. With all the rackus with the neighbor, cops, moving, cleaning old apartment etc, sadly to say the grow has been somewhat neglected. It is...

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Quick update on the grow! The move to the new house was not without issues, but I think it went quite well, all consider. The power adapter for the HPS went AWOL during the move, still looking for it, in the meantime we've plugged in the O'trusty LED :D I was in a rush this morning, so the...

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    That system looked very dandy indeed! I am looking for a IBC ( ? ) connected in Catalunya, Barcelona area. I was told from one second hand place that they are not allowed by law to sell them if not a special chemical cleaner company is checked. Even tho the ones that he sold had just been used...

    Apache T8 LED's - in the (photo) flesh

    Swany! How was the Burn ? Been wanting to go since 2007, just hasn't happen. Was thinking next year, haha. I have some projects in motion that should get me in a good financial setting, and would give me the opportunity to be where I want to be, and do what I want to do. ....and what is it we...

    Pretty nice Stutty! Are you going to put up some climbing racks for the tomato ? A mesh net would pretty much do the trick regarding the kidnapping of fish, think. Tystikk, you are just loving the idea of having the human bucktoothed creature rambling around in your system aren't you! DO IT!

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Long time since last update. Had some issues with a neighbor that was complaining about noise from the exhaust fans and a landlord not happy paying the electricity bills for our grow :pirat: We put the grow in stealth mode, the temp have risen to 26-27 celcius in the canopy but this is only...

    Hey Stutt! Glad to see you! If you haven figured it out, I go by the name peoples on other forums ;) I know that in HP the ideal pH is 5.8, since this make the most balanced trace elements availability, but I think you are right when calculating somewhat different when measuring micro bacteria...

    Bad news .. Obviously the neighbor have been kept awake by the ventilation and other stuff for several months now without even mention it when we have met in the hallway, and when our landlord came by to pick up the rent he told us about the situation. The land lord threaten to call the cops...

    I would think that the river water, with added nuts would be awesome. Should be better than tap water which should go through some kind of treatment IMO.

    It is a 1 square meter tent, with a 400w HydroGrow LED and a 400w HPS. The one that is showing the most of deficiencies are under the LED, but the other one under LED are the biggest of the 5 and do not show any signs AT ALL. Weird stuff. :confused:

    Aquaponics - Let fish be your Nutrient!

    Great prospect! Have you already started the building at all ? Would love to see some plan or garden pictures. I will as well start working on a big scale outdoor system when we finely move in to the big house. It has a greenhouse in the garden where I was thinking of adding a big FT, 1000...

    I have not seen any of those typical bugs that eat the nuts from the leafs and lay their eggs there. Do the fungus Gnats look very different during their lifespan? Like young adults are quite different in size and shape, do not fly very well, have different looking wings than the adults that...

    Yeeaah.. I think you got my knowledge base covered as well. I am going to start tinkering a lot with the system, in bigger scale. Got the new house we was looking at, big house with a huge garden in Barcelona. The Black Moor took its last swim today, found it flouting around in the current...

    I have some bugs, going to the grow store to pick up my mites later today. Most of the bugs I have have wings, and I think they all are Fungus Gnats, but I have also seen some smaller crawlers, around 0.8 - 1 mm long, kind of transparent. Will release the wrath of the Hypoaspis mites tomorrow...

    This is also a good feed for goldfish ? Do you know what kind of nutrient duckweed provides vs regular fish feed ? Yeah, it works pretty well. I have a electric toothbrush that I use from time to time to clean the pH probe, works as a charm! I actually think that I will need to add lots of...

    Added some better pictures of the Boron issues. This is two of the other plants that are not affected. The stem is almost all green: And this is the one that is. Keep in mind that even tho the stem looks thinner than the ones that are not affected, it's just thinner all the way. Like I was...
