I have my plants 14 inches off the floor so drainage is no longer a problem.

You said you water full 24/7 the last 3 weeks of flowering , what about the no nutes the last two weeks?

didn't think the plants took up water in the dark or is watering on/off on /off during dark period just to keep roots from drying out??

Got my best two plants , (after being ruined by the theives) to reveg which is cool I suppose. Whats your thoughts on reveging?

Guess my next step would be to add co2 aye? I imagine that will take some extra preperation and could be a bit costly? any advice?


Hope you and the mrs are doing well, my prayers are with you.
Thanks again for your continuous help
Peace

Where to start, um,um

Watering during the dark i guess.......yup I water in the dark. Sure they can drink during the dark period. Trichomes grow more in the dark then in the light and yes I don't want the roots to dry out either.

yes i turn off the timer when the plants need more nutrients to grow bigger and run full on. They take what they want or need and the rest is returned so if you want to slow down the flow you just run your feed line back to the reservoir and have a ball valve on the end. Just turn on the ball valve a little at a time to regulate the flow with out putting a load on the pump. If you have enough pressure you can mix your nutrients this way too. I use a 526 gph pump for every 40 plant drippers and that is plenty with no regulation only timing. There is another pump in the reservoir too to keep every thing mixed up. It's only a 265 or so but it's only to mix the nutrients anyway and that is plenty. I assume you saw the hydro thread about my SOG project?

Re-vegging is fine I know lots of people who do that and get a good second even third yield.

Co² need planning to do it right, the room needs to be sealed so no CO² gets out and you can hold the level for many hours at a time. You can use tank CO² (no heat problems) or make it with propane. You are indoors so I would suggest you use tank but that brings it's own problem. The tanks are heavy and bulky to deal with. But they are easy to setup and run you can get a good regulator from eBay for about 80 bucks these day's if you look hard.


Thanks for the prayers she is seeing another DR today hope he has good news.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Granulated PH up/down ??? Can anyone tell me if you can use swimming pool PH up/down in granulated form to adjust the waters PH level for watering your plants? If so are there any precautionary hints that should be taken into consideration?? Zandor, my friend, if you happen to read this , do you run any sort of ebb and flow along with your drip watering system or is it entirely reliant on your drippers for your normal watering periods??
