looks good man Im kinda too stoned to look too deep lol

man I gotta make some BHO didnt u shoot a vid about that?

[doob3r]

no man i didnt do a video, but i have written like 3-4 step by steps in a few threads with pics but no one ever liked them lol, ill dig one up, im thinking of grabbing a half zip of lower grade this week end and do half BHO and half QWISO if do that ill do a deo for sure, the tube breaks down really fast so i can pretty much show you how to make one and it works GREAT man,

[gonejah17]

Yeah I want to try the BHO everyone says its better. Im almost out of Iso but have enough to do a little bit so Im trying a second wash on the shit I used to make my last few batches, its been drying.

Ive been youtubing all day. Not saying I agree with this but thought it was funny lol

[doob3r]

LOL, dmn, LOL

You are supposed to use only one pump so that one doesn't outrun the other- overflow or running dry problems with that. Roots will also clog the pump if it is in the root zone.

You want the drain to be at the top, where you want your water line to be at. Even still, the roots find their way into the drain and need to be taking out from time to time.

The airstones will help keep the roots from "ponytailing" (twisting/bunching up)- it happens when you have too much current. I have actually put designing a perfect river system on hold because it's so much work in testing. If there was a way to hold the roots in place yet still circulate the water by them, that would be better. Although with the right amount of gentle circulation- the "ponytail" effect doesn't happen nearly as much and the whole system stays healthy. Air stones would be a great solution to combat the weaker current- although I'm interested in trying a high-flow system with the roots held in place by rocks.

Anyways keep it up man- things look great!

[doob3r]

yeah thats what i was wondering about, last run was just in a tub with air stones and the roots were mad twisted and braided nd shit.

[Mr.GoodStuff]

I guess it's not only from too much current as much as it's from the roots moving around in any way- lifting off the top of the tub caused tangling.

I think DWC could be optimized with rocks supporting the root zone, so that the fine root hairs could form and not be rubbed off... That's why aero fog is so bad-ass for rooting- it doesn't blast off the fine root hairs like a sprayer-type "aero" (actually hydro-no fog-) cloner.

great info MRGS so good to have u back around man!!

[labyrinth]

hey man, i almost died laughing at that 9-11 video game video conspiracy thing..haha nice find.

btw those roots look crazy huge for hydro, but what do i know? im a soil guy.

[labyrinth]

btw dude, i just noticed in your tent video that you had your ballast inside there.
you should definitely take that out. those bastards put off some heat man.

[doob3r]

got bored and made another video for some reason lol

[gonejah17]

nice vid man! 79 is fine man, fuck what the books say they like it hot lol

[IMgreen]

doob3r you lazy fuck!

lol

congrats on your cloning success! and 79 is fine for the high end temp, even if it goes up another few degrees dont worry (if it crosses 90 a LOT then worry)



I got an idea for keeping the roots from tangling twisting etc...

was a great idea but like most of my great grow ideas I did not try it

anyway - here's what I was thinkin:

Instead of using 4" baskets hung in the top of the root zone I was thinking of using 8" pots of lavarock with lots of holes drilled in for circulation. It would a pretty long time for roots to fight there way past the lavarock and creep into the root zone, by then you'd be halfway through flower and root tangles would become a null issue

the only downside is cutting holes in the top of the root zone big enough to accommodate an 8" pot (a hole saw that size would be very pricey, maybe I can rent one!)
