Ok, so I just foiled the top. You are saying I should foil the whole cube (minus the bottom) fairly tightly with an X cut for the stem? I would also have to cut a hole for the dripper like shown above right?

Your on the right track, take two pieces of foil and cover half on one side half on the other and overlap.Poke hole for feeder. Just foil the top like your were doing that is correct.

Awesome! Thanks!

I'll give it a go and post pictures.

If you use Hydroton you will not have algae problems either.

I'm using Sensizym and Voodoo Juice from AN. Does that do anything to prevent algae? Would I just fill the top of the hydro pots with hydroton?

I tried covering the rockwool cubes with foil, but I can't even take the cubes out of the little hydro pots without really squeezing them. They're stuck.

Defiantly wanted to see the producer in action. See if it was worth the money and how it truly performed. Will be checking in to see progress throughout, good luck!

hydroton would involve taking the rockwoll cubes out breaking them and puting the seedings and roots into the hydrotron.

You do not need to cover the cube itself with tine foil just the tops of the hydro pots like you were doing before and posted a pic. Like i said you were on the right track you just need to block the cube from reciveing any light

Oh, ok. Gotcha. I saw your pics with the entire cube covered and tried to do the same thing, but there is no F-ing way those things are coming out! I'll just cover the tops. By the way, I reattached the veg tray like I had before and put the cubes back up there closer to the light. They look to be really loving it. I'll just keep an eye on them and when the roots start really forming on the bottom, I'll put them back in the hydropots at ground level.

Yep good idea, leave em there for a week or two and when they get bigger stronger theyll be able to handle an mh or two

Day 11

I have some new pictures here. Yesterday I woke up to find some of the leaves curling up on the sides. I was told by BCNL that this was most likely a water issue (lack of water). However, I was concerned that it might also be a result of the ppm in my res raising from evaporating water. I added some ph balanced water to the reservior and watered all the plants thoroughly. I think I might need to start watering twice daily.

I have a total of nine plants still. Six of them I feel great about, two of them have some hang ups, and one of them is still struggling to thrive due to getting very dry while I was away. Here are three of the pretty ones...








Here are the three plants I'm most concerned about...

Curly - This one didn't bounce back as fast from yesterday's curled leaf outbreak




Splotchy - This one is growing, but still looks splotchy!




Leany - This one got too dry and won't stand back up, but the new growth looks green




Another thing I am concerned about are the roots that are poking through the bottom of the rockwool. Of the limited amount of root growth that is visible, some of the roots are white and thick, and other roots are slightly reddish/brown and skinny. This could be a result of too much light hitting the roots since it is sitting on the veg tray and not on the bottom where the roots would be in complete darkness. What do you think?
