The Dissent Grow

[QUOTE=dbkick;7506174]So poly (alpha) says bust out the ebb monster , I've had it for a year or so and only used it on one successful grow and then I didn't really use it the way it was meant. used it in a type of rdwc where I'd just drain back to main res every couple hours. with the roks I've got about a grand in that fucking thing and think I will pull it out . what's anyone else think? rdwc with the coolers as usual or ebb and flow like it's meant to be?[/UOTE]

run it in a ebb format for flower thi will make the plant reall expand as for veg i would keep it healthy and just recirculate. at least that's how i would run the system.

the point of the ebb and flo ultimatley is that the roots get a short dry spell between each watering(most water has been absorbed or drained orevaporated) so that in turn the roots can get the max o2 available then to be immersed again shortly after. at this peak state of dryness nutrients more readily absorbed. anyways ebb and flo, good system for flowering and getting big buds.

dwc is basically growing in soil but with water instead and rdwc could be compared to adding a drip system to a soil grow. DWC stands for "very lazy hydro that cn put out if your good at it" ebb and flow takes a little more maintenance but results will be better.

Never have bigz, kinda like the idea but I've invested all the time and money I'm going to for awhile.

I did have nice results vegging in aero then transplanting to the roks, I thought it may be a problem since they were so big but we just put the roots down in the bucket and filled in with the roks, I was kinda worried about it but in the end it worked out fine, too bad shortly after I killed the shit.

looked like this, you may have seen it before since I've posted them a few times...

Big plants ^_^

they were, I was digging them and then I let my sprayer form some kinda of algae and killed the fuck out of them!

they'd only been transpanted moments before, you can see that the tops turned over a bit, HR was nice enough to point that out to me, thanks HR!

I did that like two cycles in a row so I have a bit more experience in veg than flower :/
