I run tea when I see the slime coming, sometimes it right when you flip and sometimes its a few weeks in flower but it seems to always pop up somewhere at some point. Once I start with the tea I usually don't stop until a couple weeks before the chop. We add about 1 L per 100 gal system every...
A couple of my plants started drooping at the end of the day. The roots were starting to get a little tan/brown so I added a couple scoops of Great White. A couple days later most of the plants in the system were drooping by the end of the day and it became very severe at night. I sterilized...
I have a questions concerning the proper amount of Cal-Mag to use in the UC. I have read on this website people recommending anywhere from 3 ml/gal to 10 ml/gal. I cannot run my system below 7 ml/gal (about 290 ppm) once the plants really start growing. I almost always run into slight burning...
I let it swing as well. How much Cal-Mag/gal are you running? I never go below 7ml/gal or I see Cal-Mag def every time. On some strains I have to go as high as 10ml/gal, especially when I drop the light and really start nukein' em. This is with R.O. of course. My advice would be to up the...
Anyone have any experience with a DO meter? Do you think it would be possible to measure the amount of organisms in your res with one? It seems that if you saw a drop in DO this would be an indication that a organism bloom is starting... Any micro-biologist out there that can confirm this...
What about Rodimil Gold? I have heard that it will prevent it but it is not recommended to be used in hydro... I'm sure there is a way, has anyone had experience with this product?
Too Menny Bennies?
Is it possible to use too many bennies? I have been running my UC with some A Shield and Hizenburg's tea. When I added some Cannazyme my roots went to shit. Turned all brown and got a buildup of bio solids. Some of the weaker plants started to yellow a bit. I...
What a great thread! Daniel, that is so cool that you can hop on a DIY rip off (although well put together) of your creation and give tips and advice. This is exactly why this website is so great and so valuable.
BTW, uniseals are easily worked if you use a hair dryer and some windex.
Good
So the guys at UC are preaching a system where you mix up the next weeks nutes ahead of time and then use that to top off your system via a float valve. They say that this method is better for a number of reasons.
1. You can adjust the top off res's PH so that as your system's PH creeps it...
