What should my TDS meter read ? Drip System with 10 gal reservoir using DYNA GROW LIQUID GROW & BLOOM nutrients: DYNA GROW LIQUID GROW 7-9-5 DYNA-GRO LIQUID BLOOM 3-12-6 My water should be about 5.8 - 6.0 ph I cannot find anyone who gives the TDS averages? Any input on PPM and EC would be helpful also, but please help as I have a new TDS meter! TDS readings from 0 -1999 PPM accuracy +/- 2% WHAT SHOULD THE READING BE FOR THIS TYPE OF METER? SHOULD IT BE HIGHER OR LOWER DURING VEGETATIVE AND FLOWERING STAGES?

hey i just finished a grow in soil under a 400w, ill post some pics soon, harvest will only be about 4 ounce but anyway, i plan to move onto flood and drain the table will be the 200cmL X 100W in a cupboard just a smidge bigger. i want to have 4 plants, and start from clones. I was thinking, since the room im growing in isnt very well ventilated half the day until my mate comes home and unlocks the room n shit, could i have a air pump running to the roots constantly.. so the roots get more oxygen ?

Do I need one of those biodegradable pots for hydroponics? I have a pot with four holes on the bottom middle of the growing pot. So If I use a growing medium (say rockwool) and will cover up the holes. Will the roots find their way into the four holes through the bottom into the reservoir ?

I had a dying mother alone in an Ebb & Flow setup using 200ppm General Hydroponics nutes at 1-1-1 in RO water. The mother died, but one of its clones finally rooted two weeks later. I reassembled the Ebb & Flow table (kept the same water in the rez) and noticed that the water smelled slightly sulfuric, like rotten eggs or a nasty fart. I've never noticed this smell before so I'm pretty worried, as this is the best strain I've ever smoked and I'm down to the last cutting. After letting the pumps run for ten minutes, the smell nearly dissappeared, but since it was there and definately in the water, it couldn't have just gone away. The water had one mother pla…

I had the chance to test my grow-safe cf meter the other day against both another grow-safe cf and a standard truncheon only to find they all read differently My Grow-safe meter read 30 in test solution My mates Grow-safe meter read 32 in same And the truncheon read 25 Now ok the contacts had been cleaned with a new tooth brush and scrubbed pritty well! That sounds a bit full on and wondered why the hell i didn't ask in here first before bothering to ask at the shop What do yous use to clean these styled CF meters??? Has anyone ever callibrated these meters and if so which pot inside is the calibration one?

Here is a pic of a new system I built and am working bugs out before my first crop in it. It raises fish (tilipia) in the 250 gallon res. and cycles the fish emulsion through the flood and drain table. Will post more at a later time. Hope you enjoy. Jay

I looked at the "simple" setup...it wasn't. Not for me anyhows...I'm lookin' at making this real uncomplicated. Ok, so I'm gonna get the 400W Son T agro light...what that is, I don't know...just that it has the right kinda wattage for what I'm looking at, and the right price range. A small cupboard or wardrobe, I'll find. and make the neccessary alterations. Canna, whatever that is, I can get. (but need to know when to use it, and how) Pots for my plants, well...sure, I'm thinking large ones. As for what to grow them in, I could use suggestions there. Ventillation...don't really know what to do here. I'll be growing (Ive decided) only 2 plants at a time ini…
