    Yep I’ll be dropping 50mm sphere airstones into each. 
     

    I’ll be doing some new clones tomorrow so when they all rooted they’ll go in. Thinking of either pancake stompers, sugarcane or platinum punch… but will have to see.

    Yeah draining can be complicated emoji12.png , what is that 2 blue pipes sticking up by your res ? With mine I put a clear pipe on the side of the res to clearly see the level of the water , worked nice

    I havnt added a water level indicator yet, I don’t really need it due to the fact I’ll be using a digital auto top off.

    Those two blue sticking up are the outlet and return from where the chiller will go, there are three ball valves on the side (will take a pic tomorrow to show you). Basically the one opens the flow to the inlet to the chiller and then there is one on the main line to redirect the flow to the chiller and the return from the chiller goes through another ball valve into a T back into the pump. 

     

  3. Decided to rebuild the control manifold and a few mods and this is the final product.

    Currently filling to test entire system for leaks, how I’ll drain it is another days problem.

    @greenkush , looks like a lekker project. What size buckets are you using there and res just the same one ?

    Sent from my Hisense Infinity H50 using Tapatalk
     

    Buckets are 20L, the control bucket is the same size and my res will be merely acting as a top up to the control when it drops, standard ro water which is a 260L container that was going to be used as an automatic water change system on my reef tank. 

    The top off system will be digital with a sensor that will do the topping of, due to no gravity from res to bucket I top it off like that. 

    I’ll be building a control platform for it eventually with ec/ph monitoring and automatic ph dosing along with nutrients. Will also be adding the chiller most likely end of September.

  5. Been wanting to go rdwc for ages, never did but decided I was over coco and all the mess involved. So built my own due to the ridiculous cost of off the shelf systems.

    a few minor mods left to do tomorrow and I’ll be doing water tests.

    I joined a MMA gym a few years ago, and the conditioning was by far the worst of it. Coach would line the whole gym up in front of you and have each one of them kick and punch you to build your core and legs. I would go home looking like I was beat up after every practice. Cut lips, bruised legs and body pains for days at a time.

    I gave it up as it made me a generally agro person, which was the opposite of what I planned to achieve there. Good memories though! 😂

    Yep, I remember punching our instructor in the gut as hard as I could and he just laughed. Went so hard landed up cracking a bone in my hand, after that I was like fuck this. Wanted to start wing chun last year but then covid hit.

    So I've gone and joined a gi jiu jitsu gym to alternate between the no-gi gym I've been going to since April. Yes, two whole gyms at the same time 😵 I am now doing jiu jitsu 5 days a week starting this week. 

    Wish my body luck, friends 👨‍🚀 

    I did capoeira and ninjutsu for about 4 years in parallel, very different philosophies. The worst was standing in line for body conditioning and getting punched in the stomach to strengthen your core.

  8. Ive decided to go back to GHE, also that I’ll be running RDWC. In my last grow with coco and hortimix I found something was a bit off with the batch, after using it for close to a year I just found it far to much effort then it’s worth, having to use close to 220ML of A and B to get the required EC in 25 L of water. Will rather just carry the cost burden with GHE.

    Watsup dude. Had a quick google. Pretty interesting. Whats your opinion on; lets say the plants are full on veg and youre feeding at 1.5ec. You use calmag/epsom salts, bring it up to the EC you have used with veg and then next watering back to normal feeding? So changing nutrients but not the EC.

    As long as the EC is the same there should be no issue.

    When I did hydro or Coco I only flushed if there was a problem , but not at the end of flowering tho . What I did do is push my EC to 2-2,5 for a week or so and then "flush" with a EC OF 1-1,5. Then the last week of flowering il " flush with a low EC but not plain water. I read ( or podcast ) that when your EC changes drastically you actually confuse and slightly stun the roots and taking up of nutes and that addaptation sets you back a few days actually.

    Changing osmotic pressure is never a good thing, plants have to spend energy adapting to it. I never flush, ever.

    You need to lower them, best spread is around 60cm from canopy. What dimensions is that tent?

    Wait. banana leaves or peels?

    I am sure you know the banana peel, not the whole thing, just generally speaking any of it first has to decompose before your plant can do anything with any of it, during that process there will be a few beneficial compounds made available to the plant. Depending on the process, with the variables being what does the decomposing work and in what manner (earthworms, microbes and the millions of other decomposers), and the other variable being that not all banana peels contain exactly the same amount of all compounds, this will cause you to either have more or less of certain compounds in your soil and your end result will always differ, because one cannot dictate what must happen during decomposition.

    this is the reason no one knows the NPK value of any compost mixture, you can more or less guage it by what you putting in the compost, but simply "giving banana peels to your plants" might be cutting it a little skew and I like a nice straight edge. 

    It was more a tongue in cheek comment due to the ridiculous nature of all this pseudoscience bullshit in the weed community. I've never tested ethaline on my plants because rotting Banana's gross me out, but they do help with ripening of other fruits.
