What I did was soak then in a glass of water until they cracked and showed a tail, then i put them into the system in the netpots with just perlite with a couple small pieces covering them from light. Once they grew tap roots a couple inches and had cotyledons above, I removed them from the...

Silicone would probably do it. Good luck

Pretty slick, thanks. It'll buy me some headroom. I see that he recently heard from the company that they're working on an external venting option. That would be nice. sorry to go so far off topic...

It's the same fan that I was using for venting my room and good air exchange. Now it's doing the same thing but also cooling the light in the process. Most people need a fan for venting their tents, closets, basements, etc. Having one (or more) for the lights and another for venting seems...

Stardust - love what you're up to, tho I must admit to not having read the whole thread - a little outside my skill level. Question for you, but first a little background. Last year I got a 400w (real draw 320ish) solarstorm from CA lightworks through their grower feedback program. I set it...

How are the ladies?

Hey Cap'n where can I get those cylinders? Do they have sealed bottom (can't tell from the pic)? I really want to eliminate 2 l bottles, and those look killer

I am in hi too & went by diamond head sprinkler this afternoon with some returns. The thin wall PVC 4"x20', $54. Abs is cheaper but I don't know if that might leach into nutrient solution? I have some 3" thin wall PVC I use for gutter downspouts, I'm going to see if it leaks light.

hey killahz - are you talking about the 4" end cap that slides over the od of the 4" pipe or the 4" id cap, which I've only seen in threaded? This seems like a great idea instead of 2l soda bottles. Just easier to move around and sturdier. And. The best part, no need paint to protect the...

Hey ss I saw that botanicare has added vitamino to their "advanced formula recipe", which uses that and everything else in your formula - but in different strengths. I guess it's a new product. Have you tried it? Thought about adding it? I've been using your formula with good success so far...

I'll trim I guess after researching more, it seems like adding an air stone to the res might create more problems than it solves. Thanks for the replies

Isn't higher ph more algae friendly? If so it seems that correcting ph from the cloner on would be good preventative medicine

I just went ahead and put a couple of air stones into the res. now they can go in there all they want, so instead of aero/nft system, it's aero/nft/dwc. Maybe it's an accidental improvement.

They are only two weeks old, sjtarted from seed and transferred into net pots with no medium, just the neoprene collars. Everything looks great - ph 5.7, ppm 300, 24hr lights on - except that the roots from the two closest are coming out the rails and going right down into the nutrient solution...

How many do you have? Reg or fem? Fingers crossed you get that pheno!
