Hi Snype, I just finished assembling the 4 bucket system. Can you tell me how many gallons does it take?
Hi Snype, I just finished assembling the 4 bucket system. Can you tell me how many gallons does it take?
do you do anything for odor control? what have you found works best for odor control?
Snype.. This is sooo close to my style of gardening.. I fell in love with the hydroton rocks (balls) about 8 years ago.. I use them from start to finish.. Except when starting seeds.. Love that you can reuse it.. Still haven't figured out an easy way to clean out all the roots at the end.. It takes a long process of straining em out.. Its a long process to get your balls clean lmao.. I absolutely love your style of thread.. I'm pulling up a chair. Love & Light~ DJSF
I tried the oven but it just made the house reak of steaming root. It is not a good smell..I put them on a baking sheet out in the sun in a single layer. It dries the roots up to powder. All the little root particals shrink to nothing.Then i throw them in the tub and run them thru strainers.
Hey Snype, I can't locate your other thread so I am going to ask here: do you alter the flower light/dark duration? I know you mentioned lowering the light intensity - thus lowering temperature - which improved the quality of your flowers. Since you are essentially mimicking nature via the ballasts, do you think it would then be advantageous to also change the length of the light/dark cycle?
Thanks.
Just locked in your threads . Trying to design a vertical rdwc stacked and just do more plant. Root 2 day veg flower.
Any ideas ?
Hope things have mellowed a bit for you.
For what it's worth, a while ago I read most of your writings here, even engaged some bone heads months ago with you in a thread gone wrong. I have challenged myself to learn and know more about pest control, it's made a difference. I agree using AVID and other systematic pesticides is just plain lazy to put it nicely.
Since putting a weekly regiment of one of the three natural pesticides I really had everything under control. I include Neem in the three items, but hell I used that shit everyday....somethings looks funny put some neem on it, if it moves put some neem on it, if it smells put some neem on it, something files over the Coco bin put some neem on it....you get the point.
Steam rot during the "funky" time of the year here in the MUGGY south is distant memory. The steams fucking love the Neem!
I have been fighting "the borg" recently but they are well under control. In a perpetual grow that is not easy without breaking down. I've noticed The Neem recipe I use is the deadliest for contact killing, with the wetting agent it gets more of the leaf then pyrethrin sprays (at lest in the can, I'll be getting some concentrate to mix myself today).
Best Wishes, Be Safe,

Oh yeah . Had,already looked at your designs what got me interested in rdwc but would there be awater flow problEm?
