you can put some sort of mesh or something in front so that the roots don't plug the hole
i wouldn't do anything this round and instead wait for the upgrades until these plants have been harvested.thats very simple. like a screen. same thing to stop the gfs hair down the drain.
someone else said that wouldnt work. I dont see why it wouldnt.
either way, Id already like to upgrade my drain lines, AND feed lines.
whats the proper way to top feed? I dont fully understand how the plants live when theyre little and the roots are tiny? is that from oxygenated and fertilized top fed water? so a few air stones in the res AND h202 is the ticket?
since you have water circulation, air stones aren't needed. The reason we use airstone in dwc is to keep the water agitating so that the nutrients don't settle.yes. that is correct! with air stones everywhere
Roots are not submerged so no need for airstones, as the water trickles through its exposed to air and is then aerated, plus the roots are exposed to air. I would keep the stone in the res for 1 reason only... to keep the solution mixed well.Ah. Makes sense.
I do have water circulation but it’s weak. For now. I’ll upgrade everything. 110gph pump is sad. I see they got 1000gph for $100. That and some bigger lines and I’m good to go.
Ok your gonna need a way to measure PH well no matter how you want to. I like the ph pens personally.ok this is kicking my ass. 12-16 hours later and ive already got that cloudy brown stuff built up in the buckets that didnt have airstones in them. I mixed the nutrients perfectly and added them to a 5 gal bucket in proper order.
my return lines are 3/4" I think. barge hose or something its called and can only be used in 1" increments. extremely annoying.
I have a PPM and my bluelab ph meter hasnt been shipped yet from an online suppler. is the local ph80 brand any good? https://www.biofloral.com/en/hm-digital-analytical-instruments/hm-digital-ph-80-1-70250
source water is tap water, 150ppm and 6.5 or so ph. I added my nutrients which brought it to 850ppm. 1.8ec
I added 10ml of ph down to 10 gallons. I only use strips for now as the bluelab is being shipped... or should I get the ph80 locally?
