i have an ebb and flow with the resevoir seperate from the grow tray. I try to keep all light from hitting the water.
I have found that my nutes settle to the bottom of the resevoir and that it's never caused any problems. Hope this helps.
yeah i didnt think it was doing any harm maybe its just dropping un-used nuts. everythings ok with my plants and i put blubblers in the res to mix the water up evry watering period.
id keep all light away.....
light creates algae and bacteria in water...
esp. in organic nutes more than in chemical nutes
you'll start to see a slime on the sides of the res,
and maybe a "oil" type of shit collecting on the top of your nute solution
i had to learn the hard way, now i cover it with black plastic
i tired to cover it with some black plastice bags, cut them to fit but when ever i would wash the res out it made a mess and fell off. im gonna spray paint it black and then coat it with white. Next time that is i dont need to be smokin spray paint.
smokin spray paint....lol
yeah i dont think that would be a good idea at all....
you can go to lowes / home depot and get 0.3 - 7 mil builders plastic, i paid 9 bucks for a roll 3 x 50ft.
and it blocks light great..
i use it and velcro to seperate my veg./ flowering room
later buddy =)
oh man not a bad idea, holy crap i never thought of that. Im sorry im baked, and i couldnt figure out a way to seperate my closet and u just gave me the best idea ever. i never thought to use velcro. i got a shit load of mylar.
try to keep l ight out of the res,you will get an algie build up quite quick.make sure when you do a water change clean the pump and filter,it will save you any future problems.happy growing,should get some nice results.:thumbsup:
exactly my idea.... i believe i got that idea from a video called "ready set grow" its a high-times productionQuote:
