Quad12 JustMeds RDWC Build

Air is the only damn thing in JustMeds systems thats free and he won't use it...

You would not believe the air pump I have. I just hope to not have to use it.

I quit using air stones in my res, flood and drain recirculating but with all the exposure to air and moving there was no need. Air injection also screws up the ph of your res. if you can keep the water moving and open to enough air it's better off. Different system but it may work. I would not run deep culture without adding enzymes.

 

[Skybound]

I think the suggestion to use air stones is good in that its a way to expose the roots to air while they remain submerged. It's a good suggestion. I agree though that using some enzymes would be helpful. Beneficial bacteria too (if they are different)! I haven't witnessed any bad results with bennies.

Oh they are certainly different I also use bio gold, much the same as great white, but a bit cheaper. It's considered to be a combination of voodoo juice and piranha from advanced.!Good shit anyway .

I got some Z7 to give a try.

 

[Scrogdawg]

I'm using Z7 and it works great.

These lady's will be getting a new home in a week. They are 17 days old and have been topped once 24 hours ago.

What happens to #5?

 

[JustMeds]

That is another Ripleys. The seed went a full week never popped. Was going to throw it out and decided to force it open with my finger nail. Guess what it was all nice and white inside so I put it in ICU for about 5-6 days and there she is. Kinda makes me feel like Tunkers...LOL

They are all FEM AUTO's except the Kilimanjaro, that is just FEM.

Got the Blue Lab Guardian out and played with it a little tonight. Seems to be a real nice unit.

The serrations on the edge's of a few leaves where curling up a little when I got home. I am using tap water which is hard and I think I might have a little magnesium lockout deficiency going on. I gave them a sprits of mild epson salt water on the leaves to see if there is a change.

 

[Scrogdawg]

Pretty sure you can't go wrong with Blue Lab products.

Well I added to the collection of things for my room. Got this RO system and a booster pump.

4 Stage 150GPD Plus Water Saver RO/DI System - Bulk Reef Supply

1/4" Aquatec 8800 Booster Pump Kit - Bulk Reef Supply

Here is a pic of the girls still waiting on me at 22 days.

Now your styling, same one I am using. Run it for a good hour before putting it into service.

 

[Skybound]

I got the same brand, but only the 75. I had a lot of problems with ppm drifting (or maybe PH?), but I had to bypass the DI stage and everything is now lovely.

I read on another thread to put a calcite filter in and remove the DI. They said it will add calcium back into mix. That is something I think needs to be investigated. Would be less nutes to buy if it is controllable.

 

[JustMeds]

Girls are getting root bound and needing more nutes now. You can see the yellow from the shortages. Hope to have them in water Monday.

I had to get the bigger one. I am inpatient lol. I do have a 40 gallon system to fill when at full song.
