hi all i would like to learn how to build ebb and flood buckets for tree growing 2 plants per light horizontal lighting. any input or specific things i need to know before embarking? i think i understand the concept, pump in res sends nutes to controller bucket which is same size as the rest of the buckets. when flood cycle is over and nutrient solution reaches the top of each bucket it turns off and other pump turns on and fills up original res and draining controller buckets.

some questions:

what is reccomended medium? hydroton?
is there a formula for calculating res size to number of buckets?
what size buckets? is 5 gal standard? and for 2 plants per light?
does anyone add air stone or diffuser to each individual bucket or is this not needed?
how do you avoid stagnant water sitting at bottom 1" of bucket as most pumps will leave 1" of water behind?

thx

Hey DMT! Just curious what ppm you run your CO2 at and what your temps are???
Thanks!

hi guys, been working at another monster the past 2 weeks. will have a new thread for that one soon.

i follow med mans method, the bigger the plants, the more increase in temps and co2, d

so, for the first question, hydroton or stg hail.

the formula is subject to you and your space,

5 gal is standard,

again subject to your grow,

by adding hyox @ 1.6ml/litre every 2 days keeps the bottom feeders very happy. keep in mind that the furthest most roots are feeders not breathers, d
 
G'Day from Oz, i have been watching this thread from the start and i have been pretty fuckin impressed.

My 2 cents worth on this atm is i bet a lot of people would like to see whats happening there because i for one haven't seen such a purpose built grow shed of this magnitude ever in my lifetime, but 22 days since your last update is way too long.

I can get pretty full on growth in 22 days....... Where are they now ?

BUNDY...

Hell yeah brother! Your heart is in the right place.

Don't have time to scroll through the whole thread right now but I can't wait to read through it after I'm done with work.

(oh, and by the way... I love Dimethyltryptamine too!) :dance013:

Dmt - a few months ago you vouched for a product called flower dragon , you said you were friends with the maker, you said it did not contain alar, you said it was organic, you even promised to provide a canada licence breakdown to prove this

Well its not been withdrawn from the shelves after it was found to contain dangerous levels of alar , known to cause cancer

So master jedi growers peddle cancer causing nutes now do they

How many dispensaries do you supply, youadmitted you use this product on all your grows. So you have put hundreds or thousands of people at risk with your ill informed attitude, or as i imagine you always knew what it contained ... In which case you knowingly produced medicine that contains cancer causing chemicals

I hope you are not known well in canada , because if you are your gonna be in line for several class action law suits my ill informed , uneducated littleboy !!!!

Pathetic, just likeyour grows

hey DMT can you explain how the ph perfect from advanced works since you use it now. some say it doesn't change the number on the ph meter but it opens the optimal absorption rate from 5.6-6.2 to 4.5-8.5. so with this being said does it change the numbers on the ph meter or just open the absorption rate? does your ph sit at 5.5.5.6 all day long?

since ive had a chance to run ph perfect in rdwc, mfts, drip and drain and timed feeding plus a couple dirt grows, i would like to say it doest do well in constant stream hydroculture.

its great for dirt and timed hydro. not good to run at night becuase of the humic acid. ph will drop dramtically at night time, which is no good. in the flood buckets and timed top feed buckets (aka krusty buckets) it stays at 5.4-6.3. anything i run constant needs 5.6 no more or les, or i notice pathogens, lock out and ther non optimal things start to happen. good luck, d

to elaborate further, i would like to say that it works best while water temps are optimal. so like late 50's to late 60's in Fahrenheit.

to be honest. a n does have their research dialed. house and garden doesnt have canna ratio's like a n and all the other co's following suite. canna hates phosphorus. it usually usneeds as much p as it does mg lol mind u blasts of p for ripening are okay, just not all the way thru.

as far as dmt is concerned, lsd, mushrooms and peyote definitely helped the way i percive things today, d
