Does copper pipe affect nutrient water?
illyrianstarted grow question 4 years ago

I just use a frozen pop bottle filled with water in my DWC. Just have to swap it out every day.
coiling around 2ft of tube and blowing a fan on it will be alot easier to accomplish and will keep the water cooled then drilling into the beer fridge.
As for copper, it's one of the trace elements that the plants need so I wouldn't worry about it leaching into the water.

медная трубка не изменит качества воды. медь - полудрагоценный металл, часто используется в дорогостоящем оборудовании (легкая, с отличной теплопроводностью, не отдает никаких посторонних элементов, окисление меди происходит до создания оксида меди - защитного слоя, не дающего окисляться металлу! Ценный и инертный металл!

Привет, бро! 👋 Отличная идея с медными трубками и холодильником! Следите за исправностью системы и её отдыхом, дабы избежать утечку фреона (ядовитого охлаждающего газа). 👌😇👍 Но идея хорошая и смелая, жму руку, бро! Удачи! 👋

... returns to the reservoir. As a result, water cools. I can keep the water cool by balancing the pump with a timer at regular intervals. What I want to ask is, how does pumping nutrient water from the copper tube affect the quality of the water and the pH setting? Does this cause problems for plants?

Day 49 autoflower huge and not yet flowering. Help!Day 49 autoflower not flowering? She's huge and I'm running out of room in the tent (58" and my tent is only 6 ft). Should I flip the tent to 12/12? Do I then keep it 12/12 the rest of the grow? How will that affect the Day 30 plant? Should I add 2nd light for smaller plant?

Is this a sign of a hermaphrodite?I'm afraid one of my plants might be hermaphrodite.
Today i spotted something that looks like male pistils.
I removed them carefully and found something similar at the plant and removed it aswell.
Should i remove the plant from my tent (3 other plants are inside) or keep it?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).
