So I'm just going to play with it..I'm running lower water level..put pump on a timer..15 min on/off..and add a little sniffer hose off the suction line to add air to the water as it pumps...I'm only guessing but think maybe after time with closed up tanks they would run out of oxygen..I found a...
That's what is states for power consumption.it puts out 1200ppfd at 12".. that's where I'm set..that's what my meter says I'm at anyway..same place I got light from is now like 1100$ if you feel better if it cost more..but it's the same light as pictured above for way less..I purchased my light...
Yeah, but those are a lot bigger..I'm just tired of the pumps..and so many times after grow is done most of the air ports are plugged up and not letting air in anyway.. I was guessing it was the waterfall in the rez.that kept them alive...I may have to purchase a chiller to help on this..
No worries..I should have noted for the assistance..I just drilled small holes they point mostly down kinda to the middle area...I am concerned about the Do circulating down as you mentioned...I'm ordering a meter today so I know for sure what I'm getting...I'll compare to my other system that...
Well never said it was new..I got the idea from a old Post but it never went to the end..and unless I can circulate the Do to the bottom and back to Rez.. where I do have another sprayer..I figure I'll have to drop the water level and run as aero type...I have plenty of experience and cash and...
That will be hard to tell by pic...but in person, y'all won't like my comparison..the smaller vip.did better then the larger mars...the vipar is more blue then blurple..my last pic is mars on left vip.on right..
I have to edit...I vegged those under the viper only...I have a room coming...
If you are starting out..try and stay away from all board type lights..the coverage sucks...go with bar lights...USA products are expensive as all hell way over priced...look at Alibaba...and yes for a 5×5 you'll need two lights for flower..idc what led light you get...
Well..I don't have a Do meter..but for all that I can read up on ...it's the breaking of the bubbles at the surface that's gets the oxygen into the water..with air stones on the bottom..the air bubbles only travel through the water and not releasing anything until it pops....this theory will be...
I use well water,but if mine keeps jumping up it because the water is gone bad...to many bad bugs and no good...that's for me every time..hydro guard stops that for me....that chart above is the chart to go by..
Taking out all air pumps in my systems and switching over to a waterfall type,to get dissolved oxygen...all I'm doing is taking my water pump and putting it in my rez.then pump back out to spray bars?.. and eliminate the air pump stuff....this has been a running rcdwc for couple yrs...
