LilJonB's Hopscotch Grow

I’ve gotten, and read, warnings about clear air lines.

And, IF you think about it, its construction is very similar to a Fiber Optic line, in my opinion.

When I got the warnings I instantly thought of fiber optic lines.

Edit Add: I just bench tested the warning. It does bend light. I have a picture. Just waiting for it to become available and I’ll post it.

This is her, ppm 440 temp 68 ph is between 7.0-7.5 now. I pulled out a half gallon of water gonna add h2o2 and a little distilled to get ph down

and this is a new strain for me, Cherry Dragon. I had high hopes.

Oops to late. Naa it’s not that bad. :point_up_2: how you see them is how they are now. I only took about a little over half.

“Those colas are locked from the ground up.”

Yeah I’m proud of her. When I took her out of her bucket I thought the empty bucket wasn’t going to keep her up. Sher weight was even enough to keep her up long enough to shoot the photos.

Exactly! That’s where I was going.

Here are my test results…

So, it is entirely possible in inject light in to your roots.

Yeah I’m sorry Hoppy this didn’t work out the way we wanted. Stay away them micro boosters brother.

My Hydroponic guys just say no to the Myco/micro additives. Your roots are fine.

I’ll change out that tubing tomorrow and ditch the distilled water. Our city water is full of chemicals so I’ll get spring water. She was booming till a week ago. She’s not dead Liljon so it’s not a total loss. The rest are rocking so that’ll keep my mood up. It might be that clear tube @WhiteHotAfterburner

I don’t think spring water is the way to go. Purified/filtered water would be better if you want to get away from distilled water.

That ‘may not’ be the cause of your woes but, clear air lines would certainly transmit light. How far, how intense? Unknowns at this point. A lot of variable factors could come in to play.

I hope it helps and you pulls lbs off her! smoke

I’m just trying to make something work. I used distilled water from the start. But I did switch that air tube out last week because that black one was always slipping off the connectors. Now I see the curling on that other plant I’m wondering if the new light is causing problems as well. I’ve never been a fan of that style of light.

I can’t pull the black air lines off the air pump manifold. They’d never slip off.

You ‘may’ have the wrong diameter air line. That’s what it sounds like without knowing more.

Are you using 1/4 inch air line?

The airstones I have, the round Vivosun 2x4s, have 4mm (3/16ths inch) Outer Diameter nipples. They use a 3/16ths Inner Diameter air line.

Keep it Green!

How is it going @LilJonB. Good reading everyone. Jon I have gotten where I eat more. I like the oatmeal cookies I make. Just about cut the sugar out :100:. I have slimed down on my weight. So I’m having other problems. Going to the restroom. I have no bum. Lol. The butter helps. My food diet has changed so fast these past few years. Not just because of things going on right now. Semi retired. Don’t have it like I once had. Being here with my friends makes me happy. The world would be a better place. IF We All get Stoned. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: bonghits!!!

I have used it in soil many times. Also as a spray. It will bring you plants back to life. And kill a lot of things in your soil. I have never use the grow style. When I clone in water I’ll put some in sometimes. I get the regular store kind.

A lot of things I do I have researched 100%. I have also have had bad luck with that also. It will kill bugs in soil. To much will cook the soil. It will kill pest. Flys and micros in the soil good and bad. I just don’t like ph up or down with it. Had a problem once. Not sure what caused it.
