No one was harmed during the making of these videos!!

Hi there Farmers, I'm getting ready for the season here and just got some HHCOAK DHN clones in rockwool...I hate rockwool!!! Anyway, I go through this process and figured I could record it with me phone and put it up here so you can see what I go through, because I think the rockwool stays too...

no, I put a spray cap right on the alcohol bottle

My brother once gave me mites...ruined a whole room of AK47 :mad:...anyway, when I use soil I bake it in the oven ~200 for 45-1 hr before putting in the pots, sterile soil. Then I add back some benes I got from the nursery or ebay, forget where now. To clean the room I did the following and it...

We used a big cement mixer for our outdoor grows, got a used on of craigslist. Or you could fill a barrel and roll it down a hill ;-)

There's a study on root respiration and DO levels, with the higher DO the rate of transpiration increased almost 20%, so you would need to reduce your PPM of nutrients quite a lot, but that's not a bad thing, it can save $$$

Here's a lengthy article on pythium.. http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=s0100-54052006000400001&script=sci_arttext Basically it says pythium is everywhere, prevention is difficult for initial exposure even in a pretty sterile environment. The best ways to fight pythium are 1. increased DO...

I don't think it's worth it, I couldn't find anything that shows it to make bigger buds :cry: Here's a lettuce DO study link, no difference in growth at different DO levels http://www.actahort.org/books/440/440_36.htm Here's a tomato study, no difference up to about 4x ambient O2, stunted...

Right on, I didn't think of the different colors to ID plants, that's a simple method, I like that. I'll also have to check on the different stiffness...I'm planning on starting a cloner thread after I get everything setup, gonna see how fast I can get roots growing!

howdy Farmers, I'm looking for some replacement pucks for my cloner, does anybody out there have a preference for one brand or type over another? 40B

I know it's not the same, but I use ball jars and a pump-n-seal, easiest and fastest seal I've ever used. Always cool to open the jar and have that aroma come flying out!

I used an old PC with windows 95 and a script to an apc 8 outlet controller to control some homemade solenoids to power my 220v 1000w ballasts. Worked like a charm after I figured out how to get everything running. My problem was the 15 amp circuits, so I had to build the solenoids, buying...

In my case, I had 7k of hid heaters raising the water temps, even keeping the room at 80 degrees, the res water is getting hotter and the pumps are bigger too, plus it's a submersible, so there's a couple of reasons for hotter res temps. I always prefer sterile rdwc, so if you try un-chilled, go...

That looks like mucilage, a composition of sugars and proteins excreted by the growing roots. It will smother them after awhile. Probably the best way to prevent it is to have a higher volume pump and more water moving around the roots to keep them clean.

oxygen in the h2o is used locally by the roots for cellular respiration, for the process of active transportation of the highly mineralized nutrient solution. Higher osmotic concentrations in the nutrient solutions will usually require active transport, although I'm sure there's some passive...

yep, we have these things all over the place around here, northern Cali.

I run sterile, bene's and assorted other micro organisms are to risky for me. I've got a 1hp chiller and keep the water 63f, it keeps the water flowing through the plants, I think that's the major benefit of chiller in a sterile run, otherwise I'd not even use the chiller. I always pull the...

Hey there, I didn't see where you're getting the water from? Is it RO, tap, bottled? My tap water is terrible bad with bacteria, I couldn't keep anything growing, killed the roots immediately and the plants drooped and died in a week and a half, pretty much soon after the roots extended down...

DM Gold 2 part, tried getting up around 1600ppm but started getting burn, settled back to 1300ppm at peak.

Here's one from my last go round, these are chemdawg. Had to throw in the roots too :-)
