I will be oxygenating my tap water using an aquarium pump and air-stone. Does anyone have experience of adding nutes to this method...if so, should they be added pre/during/post oxygenation process?


Thanks
Lloyd

i hope it doesn't matter cause I just add nutes post-oxygen right before it goes into the pot

What does the ozone do to the CO2 in the tent if your making CO2? Will it reduce the amount?

I let my water bubble for a couple days, pull the airstone apply cal/mag and silica FIRST, let it sit for a minute on two and add my nutes. Just like cocolopez said.:check:

You can use a turkey baster to get excess water out of your trays w/o having to move the whole plant.

Yup, that's what I do...

Wet/dry vacuum cleaner (one that is specifically for sucking up water) makes it very quick and easy to suck up excess water.
£30 gets you a full sized 1000w wet/dry vacuum on ebay and it will last for years.

LIGHT PULLY's Highly recommend
no more thought or struggle on how to rig the lights so they are easily adjustable.
Now if my girls have grown and I need to raise the light, I use one finger to move it to correct height and that is it.
For the $20 (might have been less) I feel it was well worth it.
My grow space is full when I am in it, so the less movement required the better!

Very good list, especially if ya live out in the boonies, it's a 40+ mile round trip for me to the nearest Wal-Mart. :slaps:I find wire clothes hangers very good for drying- and i dont think you mentioned fans, i usually have an oscillating fan(or 2) blowing on my little plants as i read it helps make healthy stems, also helps keep temps down when growing in a small closet.
