    The root health challenge - Not for the inexperienced

    I have never run nute solution through my one ton chiller. I cool 3- 50 gal uc8xl, 1- 100 gal uc8xl13 and 40 gal f and d system with this chiller. Stainless steel is great but it still is porous, which will let nutrients and bacteria grow on it. Its easier to clean a remote coil in your rez...

    The root health challenge - Not for the inexperienced

    Well the chiller has a coil inside that has coolant running through it. What will happen if you pump nutrient solution through your chiller is that the nutrient solution will build up on the coil and prevent the chiller from cooling the water properly. It will have to work harder, thus...

    The root health challenge - Not for the inexperienced

    If you are chilling the water with a chiller and circulating the nutrient solution through the chiller, that's probably your issue. You need to chill a separate Rez. The chiller will get messed up and so will your nutrient water if you pump it through the chiller.

    UC8XL under LED

    I hope the LEDs work out for you in the undercurrent. I tried them and it seemed that the LEDs just weren't enough light. I started to get deficient leaves and healthy roots would mush and brown. Hid all the way now. I will be watching this one. Good luck.

    Is rhizotonic compatable with zone & H2o2?

    Ya try the zone at a lower ml per gal. Try 1/2 ml per gal. The zone is strong.

    Roots not falling into under current water

    So in stead of changing out the pump. I decided to put a rheostat on the 220lpm pump to be able to control the the bubbles. My theory behind the under correct stalling from the transition from pre veg systems to undercurrent is as follows. I believe the stalling is not to do with the level of...

    I would have to agree. Water temperature is very important.

    Hey kid. I've noticed you are very have a lot of knowledge with running the undercurrent. I was hoping you could find some time to check out this thread and help me out with my root issue. The roots don't seem to want to go into the water. They just hover over it like they ar scared to go in...

    Roots not falling into under current water

    I have 2 220lpm pumps. Each pump is running 4 8in active aqua disks fed with 3/8 Id black tube. I'm thinking I will try your idea and replace the 220lpm pumps with 110 lpm pumps. Do you have any pics of your roots?

    Roots not falling into under current water

    Six I like the way you think. If that is correct then that would make this statements false... "you can never have too much air in the undercurrent and DWC."

    Roots not falling into under current water

    They still seem not to want to fall in. I'm running over 400 lpm in a 8xxl 13. Cc nutes. Ro water + cal mag at 390 ppm 67 deg 5.9 ph. The roots just hover over the water line. It's almost like they are scared to go swimming. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the help. I set up a manifold. The flowtec well pump sucks from the chiller thru the manifold, then back to the Rez barrel. I strongly recommend the manifold. Less pumps in the Rez heating up the water.

    Roots not falling into under current water

    I am using clones out of the ez cloner. The water level is about an inch below net basket and that had where it's been since day 1of system. I will bring the level down. I see the theory behind it, you want to tease them into the water.

    Correct me if I'm wrong,your using a 1ton chiller to chill a lot of water and I'm guessing that you have a manifold set up. I'm struggling with my chiller running all the time. I have ordered the ss wort chiller coils you have. Can you send me some pics of the manifold and the recirculating pump...
