Does anyone have expereince with recirculating deep water culture? I currently run a 20 site setup that combines water flow, dwc and a resevoire to keep the maintainance more managable. My water pump is a 1250 gph sump pump that runs water through a 1/4 hp water chiller to keep 69 degree water. The plant sites sit about 2 feet bove the pump/res so that gravity can take care of the water return. In each site is an air stone as well as in the res to keep maximum O2 in the water. The system runs 24/7 to stimulate the roots and keep the water and nutes fresh. I have to use H2O2 on a regular basis so that root rot doesn't take hold and destroy the plant.

If anyone has a better way to fight off root rot other than H2O2 I am open to all options? Any questions, comment or advise are welcome, please enjoy the pics!

Awesome setup man, i will be totally useless in all your hydro questions lol, unless you ask if you can put gasoline in your reservoir, then i will be able to tell you NO!! :girlcrazy: :girlcrazy:

DKH,

Are you saying that the Tersano -Lotus -High Capacity Unit would help eliminate any root rot issues without H2O2 or use together with H2O2? If you have a web site that I could see the filter that would be sweet.

DKH,

I am definitely interested in that technology. I would like to get in touch with your US distributor if I can. I know a lot of growers that would also be interested. Do you have a unit that can handle 100 gallons or more?

What nutrients and fertilizers are you using?

IMO, and I'm using the GH waterfarm 8 pack for my mothers, so my roots stay in alot longer than an 8-11 week crop. I use Advanced Voodoo juice, Pirannha and Tarantula to keep my roots in check. They stay super white and clean without any problems but outgrowing my pails. I cut a third of roots off without any shock at all every couple of months. If your using H2o2 than your not going to be having any beneficial bacteria at all surviving when using that. I use a product called Blue Lightning the odd time to clean everything up if its looking slimey, then re apply my additives. Same should apply when using h2o2.

P.S. Trim your bottoms, don't be afraid....

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
