I use Foxfarm and this is the feeding schedule you should be using http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf. I highly recommend that you use the full line of nutes together and follow this schedule. Keep your pH at a steady 5.8

I have two AG PRO 200's that i use to veg my mother plants in. I veg 2 mothers max in each AG with no problems. I soak my seeds in a glass of water for 24 hrs and then germ them in damp paper towel untill they crack and then plant them in the AG's. I start my seedlings with a drop of Superthrive with some distilled water with a pH of 5.5 and then switch to a weak Foxfarm nute soultion after 2 weeks and change the pH to 5.8. I only use my AG's to veg my mothers and take clones from them. I root my clones in rockwool and then plant them in 4"x4" pots with hydrotons in my 2'x2' flood and drain tray under a 400w hps for flowering. I use the full line of foxfarm nutes and change the rez every 2 weeks and keep a steady pH of 5.8. Using this method i get a harvest and put 15 new clones in my table every 60 days. I could get even more than 15 plants at a time if i had a bigger tray to put them in. I have the AG's lights on a seperate timer set for 18/6 and the pump on 24 hrs. Salad greens or tomatoes are good settings.

last night I stuffed up my water and to raise the ph I added my piss, I know its high in nitrogen although I don't really think it was good my overall ph ended up at 5.5 and plants look fine. . .

Im using a deep water cultivation method. Its my first time so ive made my own design.
I ordered plastic 5l paint buckets and 20l buckets.

My air pump is working inside 2 of the 5l plants and im not sure if one should have the bubbles going strong or on weak. . . my bubbles are befinitely prominent although I just feel I want the bubbles going beserk its really a mystery to me how much bubbles should be going through the water . . . anyway thats the bubbles.

Note : Hydroponics is the way forward. . . love the bubbles!

Definitely epson salts is excellent for a nut burn . . . almost instantaneous!

wasup people im settin up a dwc/drip feed system in my attic and when its ready im puttin in 4 clones from my healthy azura mother, im using 4 inch rockwool cubes in place above a 20 gallon reservoir and im not sure how i should time the drip feed to avoid overwatering or underwatering, i read about the guy who did 1 minute on 1 hour off but that was aeroponics. I will be using a 10 inch by 12 inch airstone and what im unsure of is if that will affect the water going through the top feed pump. does anyone have a failsafe time schedule for top feeding rockwool?

i bought a hannagro ph/ec meter and ph up and down to keep the nutrient in check and im hoping the 2 heaters and thermostat i have will be sufficient enough to bring temps from sub 40 to 70. I have a 1 gallon humidifier and i'll use sandwich bags over the clones for extra humidity.

another thing i need to know is how long should i wait to put my nutrients in and whats a good ec or ppm to start at and what should i build up too?

oh ya and ill be using 1 85 watt 5500k cfl so how high should that be above the clones, i read 6 inches for fluorescents but im thinkin i should go with 8.

Uhh.... hmmm maybe once every three days or so for about a minute. I am totally confused, rockwool is the most absorbant of all of the mediums and you are going to top water a 4" rockwool block with a drip system?? Is there going to be ny other medium in this system?

No it will not have any negative effect, we would hope it would mean more oxygen to the root zone, thats the purpose of the air stone.

Yep, don't water it until the whole block is almost dry. Use some Hydroton below the block are let the roots grow down into that, water it from the bottom. While your at it, put some around the side and don't top water the block as soon as the roots grow out of it and into the hyrdoton, now water it about 5 times a day. But not the block of rockwool?

What kind of a space, where in the world is this? you have temps in the fortys and you want to raise it by using 2 heaters? In an attic? Has anyone suggested you insultate the space first, if you did you should not need 2 heaters.

I normally introduce a 1/4 strength nutes solution when I see roots, 300to400ppm, the top, around 1400 to 1500ppm.

There is the problem, that isn't enough light for 4 plants. GArden Knowm has posted a thread on the proximaty of cfl's to the foilage, not 6" or 8". maybe 2" at the most. You are not going to be able to have one light over 4 plants within 2" of the plants and get any kind of yield. VV

has anybody ever tried an autoflower strain like early wonder skunk in an aero setup?

We hqave a SUbforum on AeroGarden, you may want to start there. VV

Whats the difference between a Bubbler, Aeroponics and a DWC bucket? Which is the best/fastest?

i've got a question about a growing style. I was originally gonna do a SoG in a 2'x2'x48" grow space, DWC. Using something like, 16 plants, 4 in every square foot. But now i'm thinking of doing LST+super cropping. Like, grow the plant up a little, then super crop at the bottom, bend the plant over with the super cropping, then guide it along keeping it perpendicular to the ground. Still using the same 2'x'2 grow space, but grow 4 plants. alternating sides -> " i!i! " <-. Get clones that are 8-10", throw them into flowering which at 2-3x's normal size, I could continue to grow the plants horizantal until it reaches the end of the grow space, then let it go vertical.


any opinions on this verse just growing a crap ton of little plants? I think this is some sort of SCROG/SOG combo thing...or something. If not, i really just need to know if this will even work effectivly. I'm thinking of of even doing something similiar in an aerogarden for a friend, growing two plants like this, one on each row.

heres some pics so far of what i plan to do. I super cropped these two plants (assuming i did it right).
