@ThatsMyPurse, Hey there, sorry I didn't see this before. I'm running TEFEN nozzles. They seem to be working for me now. I had lots of struggles figuring out the nutrient mix and cycle timing, but finally seem to have gotten it figured out. The pH perfect seems to work nicely, there's very little drift once you get your target pH reached. I was actually recirculating early on, but had some issues with a combination of burning an deficiencies (weird, I know) which encouraged me to switch to DTW. I've done that and haven't looked back. plus now that I've got the timing pretty well dialed in there's actually very little run off. right now I'm getting about 1L every 36-48 hours. When it starts getting much lower than that I basically just reduce the off interval to make sure my girls have plenty to drink. It's certainly an interesting game!
@Jay_Gardener, Ah, thanks for getting back at all. Those are the same brand nozzles I have, FYI they work better than the Drip Depot variety (a little large on the droplet size). Good to know about the pH perfect, the pH drift has been my biggest issue with GHE Flora series. As for the run-off, I have very little of it once good size roots are established. I made the opposite decision though, running a ~15 gal reservoir I figured it wouldn't impact it much to recirculate the small amount. I use my waste reservoir to collect dehumidifier water now, it reads <20 PPM so I use it for topping off and building nutes. Agreed on the adjustment game, just wish I could make adjustments on the fly. The Arduino has to be physically connected to my desktop to change timing-- it's a mild inconvenience.
@Denzul, Thanks for the encouragement! I've really enjoyed growing these girls and I'm very happy with them. It's really nice getting these comments, I don't know any growers where I live to pal around with.
Gonna start chopping after a quick meal!
@Ferenc, Thanks again! They look much better int he photos. IRL, the foliage is making me nervous that these won't ripen in time! I'm sure it will be fine though. Have a great day!
