SmokeTester Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 A bit off topic but can anyone tell me what size ID hose fits on to the pump (mj500 I think). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budelaire Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 They are a standard sized hosepipe dude. 12mm I believe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeTester Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Is there any way of catching the runoff with a wilma system, for measuring ph and ec? I cant think of any way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeTester Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 @stu914 Thanks, that is what I was asking. I would like to catch the runoff from the pots, rather than just measuring the rezy. Must admit, i cant see any way of doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the reading will be the same, res or pots...I'm doing a mixed strain grow with a single res and only check the res, no problems... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grower951 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) @SmokeTester when you’re feeding use a pipette to take up some run off, enough for you to put into a cup and take a reading Edited August 25, 2022 by grower951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticriver Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 how about just putting a saucer under the pot while its watered, catch a bit of run-off, test, chuck back into res? I think I know what ur saying about wanting to check it before it gets mixed up with all the res contents good luck wit the Wilma put some pictures up if ya like when ya get goin' (we always like to see photographs) mystic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 why would you want to test the run off anyway, its generally the previous feed your testing, not the current one im using a wilma with coco and drip rings. honestly, i have only checked the nutes going in, it needs topped up every couple of days anyway pic below taken before i swapped out the stakes for rings. im using a NFT table as another milma, with stakes, i think the rings are marginally better tbh, 2 feeds a day, for 15 minutes a time. theyre about 5 foot now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeTester Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 @mysticriver I might even put a couple of picy's up, if I get anything not too embarrassing. This is my first time with a wilma, so not sure how its going to go. I am quite capable of messing up, hopefully not this time. @badbillybob I have the same wilma setup as you but mine is in a 1m2 tent. I also have a modified nft tank, I am going to run one 8lt pot, in a 90cm2 tent, this grow is about five weeks ahead of the bigger one, to strictly speaking its my first grow with a drippers. I'm a bit paranoid about runoff ec. I had problems with it going way high, feeding at 1.3-1.4 and getting runoff of 5-6. But that was using a bottom feed system with light mix, light mix has gone well down hill recently and I think this was the main reason I had problems. I am now on drippers and coco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I am using, like all coco it likes a bit of calmag but it looks lovely to handle, nice and airy. Best of all, it doesn't seem to compact when watered, like other mediums I have been using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reallyhigh Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 You can put any medium in a Wilma system. That's the whole point to be able to try different things. Me personally clay balls to fill bottom of pots stop the coir falling out. Fill with coir then put a 2 inch mulch in the top of the pots. Will help with evaporation.
