While in veg, yes. We haven't found any consistent other way, and if watered too frequently they do not seem to develop the same root growth through the sides and bottom.

In a nutshell how dry before watering a top feed rockwool setup? Simply put years of experience have shown clones specifically do best when they're on the drier side of the scale. Sloaked clones never root. General knowledge is that the closer you can get before reaching wilt point the better...

Hogan, This was helpful, thank you. All things I've covered but its a clear explanation, starting with basics. Over the past month I've proven beyond a doubt that there is a variance in the water quality where we're at, something most people don't realize; Water isn't the same everywhere...

So contact Culligan for details?

I'll send it anywhere but West. Do you have Chlorinization and DI unit examples?

Air level as in too much? You commented on another thread suggesting a UC system with upgraded air system - What is the right amount or balance/gallon?

I've been looking for a place who will test the water - Any references to reliable sources that provide usable information?

Those are coolers, they have a 2" wall on them that is an exterior, insulation and an inner shell, they do not leak light. They are then put into black containers with black lids that have a similar panda film skirt like you describe. Had it been a light leak I would think there would be...

The muck in the roots is not sugars if that's what you're inferring. Is your logic to state the slime/algea is feeding off the sugar? One would argue any bloom booster would then be the same issue as many of them have these same sugars. We've also run sterile and have the same type of...

I actually looked for someone who would do this. All kinds of well water tests but I was unable to find someone who specifically could provide both a useful test, this is what's in the water, AND useful information, THIS is the component that is the problem. I expected to receive a test back...

Thank you for the thoughts. We've tried different media's.... hydroton, hydrocorn, grow stones, and a couple others. No effect on this problem. We've cleaned it, we've bleached it, we've soaked it in h202. We had a weird fungus that would grow on the bottom of the lids previously that we were...

Long story made short... This isn't our first rodeo. 5 years of experience, literally hundreds of cycles, not to say that we're above anyone or beyond over looking anything but if you're going to answer "have you tried zone?" or "its easy, just brew a tea" please just don't. We've...

So if I'm reading this correctly you've had great success, and recommend, using the Aqua 6 for ~2 minutes (60 total for 30 gallons, 1x/day?) This would also scale I'm assuming, to say 100 gallons at 200 minutes or 4 hour intervals at ~30 minute intervals per day? UV hasn't helped us, tea has...

So nobody runs the tea? Come on now...

DS, I respect your opinion but for those with slime sterile doesn't work ... I've ran RO with h202 and zone in conjunction with 62-64* water temps, it's the best so far but it still has slime and the size isn't what it should be. It's like banging your head against the wall to absolutely...

We use RO and filter everything and have slime so my impression is that it isn't ever going to go away... so why switch off the tea? Seems RO and UV doesn't fix it either so tea is the only option. I've used h202 and zone... it's impressive until they get slimed and they just seem to hit the...

Lots and lots of posts about h202, zone, tea, ect but it seems most people add the tea when there is an issue and then cycle away from it. If the slime is coming from the water source (seems to be the most common) then it's going to come back if you aren't running the tea. So... Is the tea...

DS, You've eluded to either getting away from or, having issues with RDWC ... Where have you ended up? I think everyone who has done this on more than a small scale has had issues with root rot and preventatives, what have you found to work the best? As a DWC guy I would switch to Coco...

Graywolf, Are you offering these pumped systems? If so please PM me details. Thank you.

I've read the cloner issue but it's, IMO due to the higher temps the cloners run at and how clean they are before they're run. I've had A LOT of people tell me they don't work, slime, ect. and ours work perfectly but we have built manifolds for them that are taken apart and cleaned, clean...
