    mark my words you will go thru umpteen of those things while the the trunchen will still be kicking ass. Mine is not but three feet from me, is over six years old gets used almost everyday. and is right on time, Ive done nothing but feed it batteries. I use mine for a stir stick, a machete, home defense, and oh yea a ec meter to. still ticking. oh and no calibrating ever and it reads in everything EC, PPM700, PPM500, and CF

    yea the trunchon is a better product. just not worth the extra cash imo. ive used the pen for 2 years thus far, worst deal is no back light on the lcd.

    So I have 1/2 inch lines and bulkhead grommets for my homemade DWC..should I stay with 1/2 or go to 3/4 for improved recirculatiion?

    Um, I'm not sure, but a good rule of thumb is to have your drain pipe larger than your infeed pipe. I don't know if that helps.

    I can quit any time I want.
    So I am building this 8 site DWC system similar to a water farm and I want mine to recirculate just like the water farm does, do they do that with an air pump?

    I've only done DWC bubble buckets. If you need basic hydro help just holler.

    You basically just have an air tube connected to the hose at the bottom of the bucket and it pushes the water out of the tube and back to the reservoir. Making it recirculating is exactly how it works when pumping water up through the drip system. Same principle.

    OK, got it. But I know is not ok to apply liquid fertilizer on dry soil. At least not for pot growing plants. I am wrong?

    Not sure I know what you mean.. If you mean undiluted liquid fertilizer applied to dry soil then correct, if you mean diluted with water fertilizer then no, you can apply diluted fertilizer to dry soil..
    rghm1u20
    rghm1u20
    Diluted. Maybe depends what fert. The liquid I have, is written on it not to apply on dry soil. Diluted, of course, because warned NOT to use undiluted at all.
