    flood and drain systems are really good, great choice fellow, just need to keep the tank topped up and let the ec drop over a couple of days before adding more food, helps the root mass

    do you check the ec daily ?

    yes i check daily and follow the nutrient instructions it's slowly dropping i usually adjust once a week when i top up water i mainly just throw my tester in a cup of water out of the res to see what its at i adjust with 60ml syringes when getting close to the mark if i follow the nutrient instructions for full dose it gives me 2.4k to 2.5 but i think thats too high i try to keep it between 2k and 2.2k

    Actually M_C, if your pen costs less than 200-300 and manufactured by a known laboratory equipment brand, those pH strips are more reliable than your pen.
    Accurate pH reading is quite a complex business, and should be done with proper, calibrated equipment, while stirring.

    You're probably right, But we're testing the potential hydrogen of cannabis feeding, not blood lol...

    The advantage of growing in water is the roots have a lot more control over the amount of food and water they absorb.
    Environment where they grow has a big impact on this, so if your ec is getting low in the tank, then you need to up the food, but if the ec is getting high, the plants are drinking more water and absorbing less food (this can cause the ec to rise fast and can damage the roots).
    In the flood and drain system it hard to underfeed a plant as the roots will absorb all the food before it affects the plants heath and your ec will drop to almost zero

    if your canopy temps are in the mid 30's and the humidity is low, the plants will drink a lot more water

    Of stuff I recruit them first to order

    Then when they get the stuff we strong arm them into giving it to our friends.

    Then we will ruin their lives. Repeated false reports. We will have people damage their property and call around to different places and tell people were the FBI when we are not
    And the stupid fucks believe it

    We got all the plant food companies doing this. They are all a part of it.

    If they don't want to. We will pull them down on all seven levels and brainwash them into doing it.

    They don't mean shit to us. Me and Brendan from emerald triangle do this all the time.

    All the hydro shops are a bust. Even if the person is not doing anything illegal we will blame them for it then have others destroy their personal property.

    We have got several people killed over this and still do

    Botanicare and all the others do it also. We taught them also

    Well, we at general hydroponics don't give a shit

    We're all bitches

    Emerald triangle does this as well.

    It doesn't hurt business because we have so many customers we can't snitch them all out
    They buy anyway over and over

    We know a bunch of you in the USA have been boxes in from horizon to horizon with white cars more than once. If this happened to you we got ya hahaha


    I sell this shit to people after recruiting them.
    Then turn right around and call the police.

    First I will tell them I am a agent from a secret branch of the FBI and they believe me.
    I take their money there weed
    Grow equipment. Then recruit people to fuck their lives up if they don't give me more of anything I want

    A bunch of us do this

    Elena vandegrut
    Home depot
    Mick Thomas
    Jaxx chirichello
    Mike Simmons
    Jerome asich
    Matt Brooks
    Rachel podrasky

    I even know how to call people at home depot and get them to do it too.

    Hell me and Caroline Johnson do this shit every day
    Fuck out of here with that bullshit
