The hose on the intake will make a huge difference

And keep an eye on the styrofoam box. It doesnât take much heat to melt it

Um, the spraying of water is to neutralize the pollen so you donât spread it to your other plants. I dusted the branch, then covered for a few hours. Then I sprayed when I uncovered so to not have it spread to others.

So the hose should be fine to run to the pump in my closet to my 6 port 3/16 hose splitter to my tent. As long as there is no kinks in the hose everything should be fine theoretically.[quote=âChronickyle, post:497, topic:43290â]
add about a 6 " peice of tubing onto the intake.

Thatâs a very good Idea. P
I wonât be using the styrofoam box if I put it into my closet. Iâm even thinking of cutting the hole for my cable line in my floor just a little bigger and running the 1/4" hose into the basement. Iâll have to get those one way check valve to keep water from going for a ride.

Hey @BigMike55 am I doing this right?
There is stuff stuffing off of the rods. Sitting at the bottom of the jar.
Should I add more juice?

You shouldnât get sediment like that. Did you use distilled water?

Actually, after an overnite run, one rod was black, one light brown and a small pile of sediment right under the black rod
At least that is what happened for me. Used .999 silver and distilled water.
The solution was a light amber color, that turned darker with time.
Just my experience. Donât mean to contradict. As Iâm sure @ReikoX has more experience than me. I have only made CS once.

Nope looks right to me. Let it cook for several hours. The charger has a very small voltage output, so it will take awhile for it to cook.

The jury is still out on how well it worked. I sprayed the CS every day for couple weeks. When I started seeing nanners I quit spraying and placed a female clone in with this She-male. Still not finished but I think I will get some feminized seed from both the She-male and itâs sister. They are still cooking tho. And even tho I am no longer spraying the CS, it is still throwing nanners.

Good luck @LilJonB. Glad youâre feeling better. I cut my only surviving Hopscotch yesterday. Buds did not get as big as last but they were darker purple. F1 phenotypes I guess. I see youâve got flowers, awesome. I got a 3.5 gallon bucket going. Hope I can see your results with veg. I might start a diary, taking pics now. Iâm ready to see your leaves turn purple 
. Heres my little buds hanging.

LMFAO! Making CS.
The rods are 9.999 silver. Came with a certificate. If I got burned they really went out of there way. Distilled water it was. I let it go for a day. I would switch the positive and the negative around every now and again. I forget who added the bubbles to thereâs. I figured I had a pump so it wouldnât hurt. If it works it is a hell of alot cheaper then buying it.

I think youâre good, man. Really not hard to figure out. What I had trouble with was, learning how long to let it cook. I did the first batch too weak. I left the second batch overnite probly about 14-16 hrs. I did not use air but I can see where it might be beneficial, to keep the silver ions moving. Be interested to know how this turns out for you. We will know in about 2-3 weeks. You should start seeing nanners. Spray at least once a day. Twice if you can swing it. I think you are on the right track here.
And your charger puts out 9 volts. Mine is like 5.5 volts so yours should cook up a little faster. Maybe 8-10 hours. You got this!
Alrighty a little update. The Gelato Auto EC climbed to 2.1 and ph dipped to about 4. Brought her back to a EC of 1.7 and a Ph to 5.7.
Sheâs probably been happier Iâm sure. A little but of signs of excessive notes.
But itâs not too bad. Sheâs praying so I guess thatâs a plus.
The Blueberry Auto I was going to get rid of her but I just trimmed her back to pretty much her main stalk. Sheâs kinda showing the same dissatisfaction with the nute situation. But to be fair I havenât been given then the attention they deserve.
The EC is at a 1.7 and PH is 5.6. Iâm going to just top her off with a little bit of PH water to see if things change at all.
Now the reason we are here. @Hoppy s HOPSCOTCH.
It looks like some of the pollen might have taken
But who knows. I will give her a little more before I get rid of the male before I get rid off him for good. Promise
PH dropped to 4.8 But sheâs back up to a 5.7. The EC is staying stable. For the most part. Went from a 1.8 to 1.6. So thatâs good. Or at least I think so.
I have to say the Hopscotch is a trooper. For sure. Iâm not at all disappointed.

Good to hear my friend, Iâm ready to see the end results. Thereâs a buddy of a buddy of mine growing one using ârice wash?â I dont understand his process but he claims frost so think itâs icing. Guess weâll see. He said something about a cube in the soil and its growing mushrooms.

The goal is to have your ec constantly going down. If your ec is going up its because the feed is too strong and your plants are drinking more water than nutes which is increasing the ec. Lower your ec feed till you find it goes down when you check it instead of up.
