I find sulfuric acid to be the best at staying on point. Plus it can be made for a few bucks. Go to the auto parts store and buy battery acid. Should be under $5. Now mix 1 cup of that to 1 gallon of ro water for instant ph down. One container of battery acid should make 5 gallons of ph down.

Okay looking to change my attic grow room to run cooler and use less power. I now have two 4x4 tents with two 6k btu windows shakers in each tent. The ac units are fit into a hole cut out in the side of the tent. Runs way to much power and still tends to get a tad hot during the hottest...

Mine are in straight coco and my drippers are damn near closed and my plants have plenty of water. Something was not right.....

Holy shit 5-10g? Yeah there should be no where near that. Hell my rez is only filled with 5g at a time and that goes for about 4 days depending on plant stage. If anything there may be a cup of water with 12 big mommas in my 4x4tent. You had those suckers turned up way to high. I was...

No worries man I truly believe you had issues with your BM. Ive seen the thread over at ICMAG and it seems most people with issues are on first adjustment. Yes they cant turn off but the amount of water that is even allowed thorugh a properly set dripper is not enough to flood a room IMO. Yes...

Not to beat a dead horse but you are the first person that Ive seen that has had that problem. It doesnt even make sense that they could get stuck on when setup properly. The 3mm line should have a crimp in it which would only allow it to drip at the most. Its not hard to see your bad...

I would say Im lucky but there are tons that feel the same as well. I have seen some people have trouble dialing these in but it all falls back to user error IMO. I found when I was also messing with them a lot I was flooding my room. I then re-read the directions. You need to completly...

You can follow the instructions on the bottle and run your preferred PPMs. Never use more than the .4ml per gallon as it does not have a good effect on the plants.

I totally understand about misinformation as it floats all around the web. I have to disagree about the comparison to clearex and drip clean. Clearex is a flushing agent that Im not to fond of. As it was explained to me drip clean prevents salt build up from even starting. It is meant to be...

I will come back to this but the one thing I dont understand is who said anything about flushing the plants all the time. Maybe you need to check out what drip clean does. It does not flush plants. And this thread is about blumats. No other hydro setups. I am showing the way with BM and...

Not to be rude but you have been using them incorrectly then. They are very problem free for me and tons of other growers on the web. If your cone dried out your medium was to dry, as the plant medium will start to feed from the cone if to dry. I find your experience to be overall opposite of...

Have you ever used TB? With these things you are in complete control over the watering and I promise there are not dry spots. Without a doubt in my mind do I believe that these are better than handwatering. And I disagree with the idea of watering coco when it starts to dry. Coco should not...

LOL not sure what the hell I was talking about. At first glance I for some reason thought you were recycling the the nutes with TP which would be bad. Ill chalk that up to a high moment.

Honestly I have not used my ec meter in quite a while. Ill measure tonight and get back to you. I start with a 6:9 GH base. I also supplement with powder cool bloom a few times during flowering. Now for buildup. I cant not stress how important using H&G drip clean is. It prevents salt...

Not sure if this is what you meant but TB are not meant to be ran as drip to waste.

Yes they can be used in tons of mediums. Even soil. Ive also seen people use these in beds w/ coco. You can also get the blumat maxi and grow some trees!

So then handwatering coco would also come out "not as good". This actually does a better job than handwater coco because it only waters when necessary. And the beauty of it is you can set how wet you want your medium to stay. I could not even begin to think of a reason why this would not...

Well I will be adding to this over the next couple of days. I was asked to make a separate thread for some question about Troph Blumats. I have tried many ways to grow from hydro, soil, aero, and soiless. TB are the perfect system for me. It uses no pumps and very little water. They are...

It will come back later and create a thread as I have to head out for a bit. Im sure there will be more questions to start rolling in.
