Sup Man!!

I just upgraded my grow room!! Its really sweet now. Fyi you were right about the advice u gave me about my fan being able to cool my 1k and a pull plenty of air through the carbon filter. I could easy add another 1k...

Im still trying to find the right system for my 4x3 aera. I wanna find a medialess system where its easy to change res and only need to adjust solution by weekly. I still may go ebb and flow but im trying to avoid bying stock in rock wool. Just seems like a waste of money to me. What ever system i choose the res will need to be beneath the plants so i can get the most canopy space for my area. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Do u think T-5's are worth it? They seem so expensive for florecents..

Peace FL!p

So now you can upgrade to 2k when you get a larger space.
Thats my count^^

If you want a pereptual harvest like you said before you will need ebb and flow. Unless you have cash to spend on multiple Aero/DWC/NFT set ups. The problem is you can not obtain the same plant density you can with flood tables.
You could one large harvest in that space with an aero stadium however.

Wow I was really confused by that one

No T-5's will never produce dense buds like HID's and even for veging will not provide the same rigorous growth rates as HID's.

Listening to Marley here just blazzzzzzed

I was just gonna use the T-5's for seedlings and clones instead of the 400w mh. I just love how fast my veg is with it. Costs me 20 bucks more a month tho...

Lol no floro flowering here.

Yeah that should be fine but I don't think T5's are worth the additional costs for clones and seedlings.

Good to hear bro

Ok so if i were to do a flood system do think if i used the 4x4x4cubes i would need to use slabs too? Flowering smaller clones...

I was hoping just the big cubes packed a tight as possible. Good till harvest you think?

Im gonna save the media less system for when i have more time space and money.

Im also thinking about using a deep rubbermaid for the res and a shallow rubbermaid tub for the flood tray. Do you think i could just put a peice of pvc on the outlet of the pump and drill a hole so the pvc sticks out of the shallow tray for the flooding. This way at least im thinking i could just lift of the flood tray of the res and set in on the floor and move my res out for changes and maintence. See any problems with this?

Im gona need a special timer for flooding arent i?

Hi everyone
can someone explain what the lucas formula is please.

Hi NewGrowth,
Im having a silly newbi problem, after germination I place the seeds in rockwool and they always die why am I doing wrong?

At first I discovered I was watering (PH at 5.8 & no nutes) too much then I tried misting but there were no changes the temp in my heated propagator is at a constant 28C & humidity is at approx 75-99%
Now my newly germinated blueberry seed is in root riot and would like any advise, opinion or otherwise which will help grow this seed.

It's hard to get that kind of plant density in a small space unless you have C02. Use 1gal pots (not net) and hydroton without C02. With cubes you will not need slabs unless your plant height exceeds 12". Then you can anchor them with string to prevent them from falling over.

The cost difference is quite large.

Yes but you will have to line the top rubbermaid so that there is no drainage in between the spaces of the rubbermaids.


Yes but if you have multiple flood trays you can wire them to a single multi tap timer. Pumps do not pull a heavy amperage load like lights so they can be wired to a single timer.

What he said

Could be many factors starting with most likely: 1. Rockwool was over saturated
2. Rockwool was not properly prepared ie sterilized and soaked to PH adjust.
3. Environmental conditions, high or low temperatures ect.

Sounds like the rockwool was not sterilized with H202 prior to planting

Sounds like a rootzone pathogen you may still be over saturating the rockwool. Maintain your humidity at or below 40% and allow the rockwool to dry a bit between waterings. Remember to pre-soak your rockwill with a Ph corrected H202 solution. If this does not solve your problem you might look into sanitizing your growspace before re-planting.
