Thought it would be a good idea for growers to share their tips to make life easier. I don't mean feed this or use this light or fan. I mean general tips.
I will start off with a few.
SOUP UP YOUR SYRINGE
Many of us use syringes to measure our nutes but often the ink wears of the outside so there is nothing to read also a syringe is hard to use when your bottle gets a little empty.
Solution BEFORE the ink wears off mark the shaft of the plunger with the increments, this is also great if you put a piece of tube on the end as you can see the amount while the syringe is in the bottle.
MAKE YOUR OWN FLUMING SYSTEM.
Easy to make with a small pump a bit of pipe and a T piece. This will mix your nutes and flume air into your tank replacing the need for an airstone. Only drawback is they are a bit noisy with sound of running water.
CREOSOTE IS YOUR FRIEND
If your filter has seen better days and you have a problem with smell then buy some creosote, the real coal tar stuff. Go creasote your fence or shed. Just do a square yard at a time every day. The smell will overpower just about anything and is less suspicious than scented Ona Blocks. The real stuff can still be bought in the UK as long as you tick the right box at checkout
