D.D. on the road !-- Broke my last pair of reading glasses so followed her out to pick up some !-- My poor nose !- Hurts !- My goal today is to not take anymore shots to the face !-

Ya'll making a Mountian outta a mole hill !-- No matter what get U some EM1 !-- I use 5 mils of the concentrate per gallon !-- If U gonna use tap water the only other thing is the nute !-- Botonacare is all I know !-- They got one called Pro-grow and one called Pro- bloom !-- That will get U started !-- Plus pH up and pH down !-- I use 3 mils per gallon ( label say 10 mils) of Grow or Bloom nutes -- The pH will change and stabilize in about 24 hours !-- If U can U mix the nute water and wait 24 hours then pH or you'll be chasing your tail on the pH !-- Put the pump on a timer -- 15 on 15 off works for me because my timer works in 15 minute intervals - When it comes to a pump heating the water up ? -- I know about such things !-- More water U got the less it will heat up and 15on/15 off and 10 gallons can handle it and stays under 80 degrees sitting on the floor in room air !-- The aquarium bubbler I use is a 4 spot pump !-- I got 2 in bloom and run a stone to each box -- Mine aren't for oxygenation the water but to pump fresh room air into the box so those hanging roots can get all the O2 they need from that !
 
I'm building a new room from the ground up to support this water thing. I'm gatherin' pictures and stuff, lights, containers, fans and ducting, all the crap. I'm in process of a new 8X7X7 room. I'm going to run a 6 bucket waterfall RDWC with 5 gal containers and a 30 gallon res. I like big plants so if I'm going to go, might as well go all the way.
 
Nick got the disease !-- I need to send Bud an e-mail this is exactly what he does !-- I know ya'll gonna do the drip and drain but this is my pump assembly !-- I glue that pump to a ceramic tile so it want get bumped around -- They got suction cups on bottom but they will just piss U off --Take them off and put your pump on a tile !-- That pump also comes with a bag of adapters for any application !--

I use a self contained box because if I had a series of boxes hooked up to one res if it went wrong and bad bugs got in it it would spread to all plants on that res . -- Box don't look right to me I can empty it --clean it and refill it !-- I also didn't want to drill a drain in my boxes until I was sure how I to run a continuous production grow !-- I can go lots of ways from here !
 
Well, you know I been thinking about this water pharming thing for a year now, I just kinda settled on this being something thats gonna work for me. I gotta have my travelin' time and I think I :vap-Bong_smoker:can automate this for a few days at a time.
 
I was counting and I seem to be a little over the legal plant count !-- Why did I drill every square on these 35 spot boxes ? -- Dis like an Outlaw Cloner root lots of cuts !-- If I posted a list can ya'll help me decide what to drop ? -- No Nevermind !-- I'm finding my production plants !-- I already got some locked in and others ?
I worked hard isolating a fine female No way in hell I run her once and be done !

Them veggie boxes just full of used nute water and got a bubbler in them !-- Waldo he over there so I'm pretty sure I can grow DWC !
The Black and yellow box on the left are the children of Waldo! -- I start sexing them soon then it will be a side by side Grow off with momma !-- U wanna stay U gotta beat momma !

I guess U could say I'm still looking for something to grow !
 
Nick I bugged out for Hurricane Harvey and lost power for 5-6 days -- Didn't lose a single variety !-- Lost some fresh cuts but no big deal !-- What I would like to do is put a solar panel on the roof run it down to a deep cycle battery and out thru an inverter to run my air pumps !--That way if I lose power my bubbler will still work !-- U can most certainly automate to be able to split for a week !-- But U got a bottle neck if The whole grow goes thru that single pump! -- It goes out U might lose the whole grow !-- One my pumps goes bad I might lose that box !-- The pump are pretty good !-- I been running some close to 2 years !-- filter keeps my roots from getting sucked into the pump but I clean and replace them about every 2 weeks !
 
I know thats right. I had an air conditioner go out last year and it costs me a whole crop. Literally burned it up. Best you can do sometimes is buy quality stuff
 
Yep U can get jammed on something simple as an AC unit !- I try to keep to that KISS rule when I can !-- Keep It Simple Stupid !-- I grow in a bedroom and we got central air but when I got all 8 of them Mars Hydro LEDs lit up I need that window unit !-- I got the smallest window unit U can buy at Walmart -- With it running wide open and all lights running it gets up close to 80 when it is hot in summer !-- I mean I ride the line in this heat !-- The nute water in my boxes gets to 80 or above I can't clone because I'll get the white slime --which is not even white !-- Looks like a clear blob covering the fresh cut stem -- and there are other problems !-- I plan to upgrade on the window unit soon !-- I want to be able to drop that temp during lights out !--
 
I don't know if it is lazy or smart but I got 8 bloom boxes and 3 grow boxes and If I add a part to each box that I have to build well it can end up being a lot of parts !-- Making parts is time and time is money !-- I glue that pump to a tile make my PVC sprayer head -- drill the holes in the lid -- $50 and an 1 -1/2 hours or less and the box is ready to work -- parts got to be interchangeable too -- Something go wrong ? -- Anything go wrong with the pump assembly I open the lid remove the assembly and stick a fresh one in and done !-- I need a rubber seal around the lids so they don't leak but I only have the occasional leak and I just turn whatever micro sprayer is the culprit in another direction !-- It just hasn't risen to a problem that needs a solution !-- Besides I make one gasket ? -- I gotta make about a dozen !-- I ain't doing it !-- I'm on a concrete floor and clean up is easy !- One thing about water pharming is U working with water -- U gonna spill sometimes !-- My production grow gonna have a drain right in the middle of the floor !
 
My phone is broke !-- I don't know how I got here and don't know if I'll be able to get back !-- It might be possessed by a demon and U know I be a demon killer ? -- Get my gun !--
 
Just thought I'd pop in and say hello to everybody :48:

I’m listening Nick, I’m trying to decide on nutes for DWC as well. I want it as simple as possible for now. I’ve been using earth juice in my soil grows but I’m guessing that’s not the way in DWC.

When I was growing up DWC I had excellent results with General hydroponics three stage
