Oh what a great idea, I was already thinking about using the reservior as my controller on the next crop once this one goes into bloom. I can just loose it for now but when you mention the controller box its inside the closet on the end thats closest to the tub and fans, on the opposite ends I went through the wall to get to the electrical outlet.

Keep your ph between 5.6-6.2 always. Keep us updated.
Thanks weedhound, I was going to mention I took the submersible pump to the last 2 buckets and took the hose on over to reservoir as I drained them, then let them fill back up and pumped them again, so on. Now all buckets and reservoir have tested the same.

OMG, I just tested my 2 sources of water. I bought a sears water distiller and the treated water has PPM of 0. My tap water has PPM of 32, so when I got a little impatient after 16 gallons hadnt filled my stuff up I added tap water that I let sit for 2 days first. I guess thats part of the problem with my PPM being so high.
luvfriday Reviewed by luvfriday on . Now that Im hooked up better then Old Mc Donald Welcome to my stony little garden. Currently 4 clones, tons of room to expand and not even half way done unpacking the system I bought. I am running a 400W MH light, using Flora nutes, temps got out of hand just like you warned me. Today we got the temps to mid 70s, my Hana meter doesnt speak english or something. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is near ideal. Yes I know each bucket will flucuate readings. Here is controller am/pm results Ph 5.74 5.47 MS 1.24 Rating: 5
