if the lines are clear and its all plumbed correct, this is the next thing i would check.
raise your control bucket on 2x4's or something and see if your water level in the sites rise.

Got my veg buckets going n everything put in em today.
Took 1 bag of mvp and a 4 cf bag of 4 perlite to fill 4 sites.
I went n got 12 inch halos for now cuz the t's and half inch tubing kicked my ass.
Going to throw some co2 at em once I can afford the PPM controller and got an adjusta wing in the works. This old melon head hood has a crappy footprint

I dont see where your pulse lines come from or go to..
In addition to all buckets being at the same level, (if there is only one pulse rez feeding multiple plants) is all pulse lines should be the same length to control the amount of water being fed during a pulse. a longer hose will deliver less water than a shorter hose in the same pulse event so that some plant will get fed more than the others.
That is one tidbit that stuck in my head from reading through all this info. I got an eco 185 firing from the bucket next to each site, all 1/2 line measure the same.
Took some shimming to get all plant sites within 1/4 inch of each other but they are there. I gave up after that.
My gb were all pretty root bound so I broke em up, ain't too happy with me for it.
Got em on 30 on every hour and will adjust from there

Yes good stuff still sifting through it but very clever i like it! Thank you for sharing!
I was just loitering around in my room and noticed out the corner of my eye a jar of molasses. Anyone use this? I have done when doing coco dtw, and wouldn't mind throwing her in my little ppk ish set up, but haven't used in full hydro before so not sure how it goes in the res, whether it will build up and block my feed lines or how much it will affect my ph etc...
What are your thoughts good people? (And bad, I won't discriminate)

PLC6 doing its thing over some Ocean Grown Seeds Dark Helmet at the beginning of week 2 of flower. The HPS in the background would heat this room to 95°F; the PLC6 tops out at 75°F. I don't have a PAR meter, but the intensity from the LED at 600W feels stronger on your hand compared to the 1000W HPS at the same distance. They are expensive for sure, but once the technology comes down in price some more there is no reason to stay with HID bulbs.

hey guys what PPM are you guys using in Veg With Jack's Hydro?
Are you guys running 600 PPM on seedlings, clones, and in veg?
I have been watering my little clones that are in solo cups 100% Coco Coir @ 300 PPM. I have some clones in my veg room that have thrown pistils and three-leaf sets from extreme rootbound stress so i am trying to get them to re-veg. Should I feed them 600 ppm?
i think i remember delta9 saying he uses 300 PPM in his little PPK Tote Cloners so im not sure what i should be at in veg. thanks in advance fellas

i use 1.2 ec(600 ppm) from start to finish but you could cut it down to .6 fot the clones for the first week or two.

I use 1.2ec or 600 ppm on my seedlings. totally fine. At 300ppm in coir, your low enough to cause cec problems. Start feeding at a minimum 600ppm. 1.2 to 1.4ec all the way through plant life.

i was specifically worried abouot PPMs in coco and you seem to have hit the nail on the head. I know delta9 suggests 350 PPM for his PPK cloner and i take his word as gold so i will continue doing 350 PPM for his cloner. I was wondering if i should up PPM in coco and i guess i will be. thanks

system will be done after this weekend. veg system will be done tonight. its gonna be a top feed recirculating drip table. once they outgrow the 4x8 they will go into the system and get their own 1k to finish vegging. was totally thinking about ordering 18 315CMH off alibaba to veg in the system and then switch to hps when they are ready. maybe next time lol.
i have decided to complicate my feed regimen in an attempt to boost quality. my chem d cookies hit 30.2% with plain jacks. gonna see if some silica, microbes and liquid karma can boost up the terpenes/quality even more.

anyone running jacks in ppks with co2? just trying to get an idea on feed strength. deficiencies are starting to pop up at the normal 1.2 ec. gonna go to 1.8 and maybe add some epsom as well.

Id forget about adding mg. Jacks has more than enough. Id probably start at 1.5ec n see if they green up.
Nice rooms buddy. Im getting ready to go to cmh. Ive been debating on the dual bulbs vs the singles n more fixtures. My friend pulled 1.6 gpw off an all 630 dual cmh room. Ive seen the proof. There the best light going imo, unless your going large and want the raw power of 1k de's.
