first grow ppp flood 1000 watt perpetual grow

[loco81]

bozo thanks for the help yea i finally got it figured out i think. i dont think you owuld quite consider mine dwc because i flood and drain but in buckets. it overflows from buckets back into res while on but thats only time it recircs. so i dont know exactly what to call it but there it is!!

when my plants fell over, i had severe root rot

loco81 I've been really thinking about this. Please apply this method and share your results as this may make it more than adequate for growers to apply home made Co2 and run straight into DWC buckets. Hell I would. I saw the video but the only thing that worries me is that the roots need oxygen and not co2.

But............
Thinking about it from a different perspective - Co2 is all around us and even though I'm pumping air into my buckets through my pump and diffusers, some of that is certainly co2. Ok I'm really interested now...

Yea i read that complete discussion on it and there was mixed feelings but a couple of the guys went into the o2 vs co2 in great detail and i believe what they said about it not affecting it badly but we will see! si far no probs but since this is the first time i ran my setup i dont know if it helped or hurt lol.

Hey loco. Thought I'd come in and check out your ebb and flow buckets. Looking good.

 

[loco81]

well i have a quick question if anyone has an idea.
the top cola of my sourdiesel isnt really growing at all. the sides are as you can kinda see from pics. know the other plant i have in there i think ppp the toop cola is just know starting to take off like crazy.
any ideas anyone?
also had some temp issues and minor ph issues in the beggining but mostly taken care of. my temp swing is kinda high though 68 -84 is that causing me probs?

also got a new 1000 watt bulb today the one i had bought off craigslist with bulb so idk how old it was cant wait to see if diff

 

[Ganjagrower1]

its always nice to update your bulbs every 8 to 12 months. Just so you get max lumens out of them.
