Depends on the aquifer.

Our muni water is lime aquifer. Our country farm water is high sulfer, high iron.

I just finished catching up on the last 30 pages or so of your thread.

Really great work mate, that vertical wall of buds looked crazy, same with that og table you had on the go.

So much great info in this thread really makes me want to switch up my style of growing.

The size of those elmers glue buds you posted from the last run were insane!

What was that table you had titled UKC post defoliation about 3-4 pages back, uk cheese?

Also glad to hear the ice cube thing to work for you then.

I doubt you can get 50F out your way lol!

I have been inspired by this thread .. but power here is a bit unstable
so my first attempt at hydro (areo) will be done with 12vdc timers and 12vdc pumps.
The lights will still be the 120vac Advanced Platinum series LEDs

I dont want to make my own COBS and use 12vdc just yet.

I am waiting for supplies to come in before I change over from soil to hydro.

Any thoughts?

Unicorn Kush. U.C.K. its a hybrid of mine. It rivals Fire OG its so gassy. But the structure is better. Insane bag appeal. Also the heaviest pure Kush I have ever seen or heard of! I think 3 per light is achievable. With OG?! lol that would be dope!

Whay do you mean "unstable". Aero requires 24/7 pumps. Will that be an issue? Power cuts?

I mean in 24 hrs the power can go out from 1-2 mins to 3-4 hrs ..
unpredictable , hence why I'm building 12v system , all but the lights at this point.

Oh so you will run off deep cycle/back up? So you got steady power?

Either deep cycle or areo .. will try both in next grow.
One then the other so we can keep good eye on what its doing , then compare once dialed in.

Do what makes u happy. IMO, aero is not worth the trouble over other methods of hydro. It's lovely in a machine cloner, but it's a tricky setup to get right for flowering. It's doable of course, just know ahead of time it's not an easy diy setup compared to rdwc or the like.

I meant deep cycle batteries for steady power/backup.

Most "aero" setups are basically NFT tubes with misters. T.A.G. is a whole other trip. Accumulators, filters, solenoids etc.

I got a new container that works champ. Just finished prototyping. Once patents drop I will share with you.

It grows like aero without all the BS.
