    DIY chiller from window A/C

    I took mine out for the winter and will be setting it up again before too long. I'll update when I try it and see if it is still working. The coil rusted a bit from sitting in the water but not too badly. Mostly just the steel brackets that are on it. I would recommend something in the water...

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    That is the conclusion I'm coming to from reading as well. I think I'll keep my main room dwc and maybe try some coco moms to test it out.

    Need help with additives, have shooting powder, moab, big bud

    I would say on most of the strains shooting powder had no obvious effect. 3 strains are new so I can't tell, 1 I've ran before. The 1 I've ran before it didn't seem to do anything. The romulan I'm running is new and it has definitely put out a bunch of new flower growth. It has that glossy new...

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    For some reason I'm having trouble finding info on people that switched from dwc to coco. Most go from soil to coco it seems. Will coco give me a comparable yield and growth to dwc?

    Clones - When do you give up??

    I've found that once they go mushy they will not root. I've left some a month after going soft and they look alright but never root.

    Electical Bill Help Me!!!

    I think baseline is somewhere around 20 cents over baseline around here is something like 34 cents, it's crazy how cheap some people have it.

    Need help with additives, have shooting powder, moab, big bud

    Half strength nutes and shooting powder is what I did, no burns.

    Physan worked well in the cloner. Slime appears to be gone. Added some store bought water and roots excel with nothing else. We will see how it goes.

    Need help with additives, have shooting powder, moab, big bud

    What does p/k actually do? Adds size? Density? Hammerhead, overdrive, shooting powder, moab, big bud are all p/k boosters mainly right? Any real difference in them besides the ratio? Why run big bud or hammerhead at the start of bloom instead of just a lower dose of moab?

    Need help with additives, have shooting powder, moab, big bud

    Used the shooting powder for a week, drained and refilled res, put in a light dose of nutes and a light dose of moab. We will see how it turns out. The shooting powder seems to have increased bud size a bit. I have a strain that produces bananas around week 8, it did it week 7 this time with...

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    Looks like dtw coco is what I will probably go with. It would be nice to not have to worry about my water temps with the dwc. The chiller doesn't use that much power, but I'd rather not use it if I can.

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    I hadn't thought of it that way, but it is basically a krusty bucket with coco instead of perlite.

    how often do you change out your rez using aquaflake?

    Every 3 weeks or so. Auto water top off, nutes and ph adjustment every few days.

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    It seems like a lot of people recommend drain to waste. I'm just used to recirculating with dwc. I'll keep looking but might as well ask here as well. How many ppm with drain to waste? How many feeds per day? How much water will I need to water a 5gal bucket of coco one time? Seems...

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    It will need some kind of filter material in there. Smart pots sounds like a good possibility. I'm also thinking of putting lava rocks in the bottom bucket to keep things out of the drain, and possible a good spot for beneficial bacteria if I go that route.

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    I have a chiller setup but would like to avoid the extra power and complication it adds. I might do the chiller/physan/hydrogen peroxide or chiller/beneficial bacteria in dwc still. Just considering coco since I haven't done it before and it would seem to fix the algae problem I'm having. I also...

    Looking to switch from recirc dwc to coco

    I currently run 5 gal buckets in a recirculating dwc setup. I'm having trouble with algae and would like to avoid having to use a chiller over the summer. Current buckets having 3/4" drain lines about 1" from the bottom of the bucket. Here's the plan: -Put another 5gal bucket with holes...

    root excellorator

    I wish I could get it to work the way it is supposed to. I get slime on my clones every time I use it in the bubble cloner. I think it may be breaking down material in the res like it is supposed to, then the slime is feeding on it. This stuff really makes the slime explode. My water source is...

    Doktor Doom? Anyone tried?

    Neem, doctor doom, and hot shot always does it for me. The doctor doom works. Try not to neem the flowering plants.

    root excellorator

    Haven't had much luck with it in a bubble cloner or dwc system. I think it's causing slime in my cloner, or atleast feeding the slime or something. Tried it a few times before and it would pop out bright white roots that would turn brown and start to die off after a few days.
