chiller/res pic

what type of chiller are you running?

Here is pic of the 55 gallon drum that gravity feeds to the top off res.
And I'm running a 1/2 hp aqua chill. It will be hooked up tomorrow.

Thanks, Comercial

Very nice DIY Comercial! Looks like it's almost time to drop the girls into the tubs for some jacuzzi action... Let's hope that 1/2 hp chiller keeps them nice and cool for the party... :cool
 
So I added my part Aqua flakes A and B this morning going to check my PPM's after work and PH before the additives. I will keep you guys updated.

I'm rolling into this one slow after shocking the shit out of my last MPB system.

Nute PPM questions...

So the 4x8 veg table i made has a small rise about 10 gallons. With the small res ever 2 days the PPM's climb currently I'm having a hard time staying around 800ppm. It stays more towards 1,000ppm.

But I have only been adding water and adjusting ph daily. The girls look great.

My question is when i transplant should i come down a bit PPM wise, or stay equal to my veg ppm?

I'm going less is more this round and didnt want to exceed 1,000ppm, but im already really close to that, should I bring them down to about 500/600 and work my way up a bit from there?

Also how often do you think i should res change if my water temps stay at 63/65f?

Thanks,

Comercial

So like 100ppm... thats funny. Bet it tasted great.

I'm at 400, but my pump started leaking, so i gotta swap it out. I will have the plants in soon. I figure I will go half strength on all the additives, and see where im at PPM wise.

How often should i drain and refill the system? If my temps stay at 62-64f?

Thanks,
