Thanks
Are you using perlite?
Wouldn't that be considered over watering?

Yes just perlite. I have no idea on the watering but I saw some other grows done this way that did well so I am just copying them. Any Hydro guys wanna chime in?

Here is now they look. I sure hope the big one is a lady

Looks awesome.
So you don't have to manually water? Do you premix the the nutrients?

 

[Scott817]

There is no watering its always getting watered. The water flowing provides the nutes or there wouldnt be anything . I mix it up ahead of tiem and its really easy to mix up I just use a gallon jug since it holds just under that. Currently I am running 2ml per gallon AN SensiGrow two part and will be upping that to 4ml soon. I change the water every 3 days currently and am running at ph 5.6

Thanks sorry that's what I meant if you manually nute. Do you have a tutorial on your setup. Very interesting So basically the nutes/water drains to the bottom and gets reused?
Thanks again

The next time I change the water I will take it apart and take some pictures and post them in a thread when I do so you can check it out. Thanks for the interest.

yes its just a setup where it all gets recirculated in a loop making it easy and not messy.

 

[realcarlos]

Thank you sir! Do you have to constantly change the p.h? or is it only when you change the tank?
Sorry guys for high jacking the thread

 

[Scott817]

I have some tricks I will show you in how I made it help control ph so I dont have to do anything after adding it only before and it will stay pretty balanced,

Shitty fact of life: YOU NEVER GET THE TIME YOU WANT... lol. Sux but oh well... that's life. Meanwhile we occupy our time with our most beloved hobby. When times suck, burn flowers.

I said all that to say this, still haven't had a internet connection besides my phone... which the piks are not on.
