I hand water my cubes.... Richard Drysift, that's basically how I do it now but I am trying to find out if there is a percentage of water content for those cubes... I have heard 20-30% after sitting for several hours is good. So I am curious if anyone has had experience with these meters and the...

I am having some issues with overwatering in 6" rockwool cubes. I am wondering if getting a water content meter might help with gaging how much water is being held in my cubes. Does anyone here know what the correct water content would be for 6" rockwool cubes?

Is there a method to use Purple Maxx in the Res for hydro or should it just be used as foliar?

Going to be using 1-2 600 watt hps in flower room and 1 8 bank of t-5 flourescents in veg.

I have two rooms, one for veg and one for flower. The room are next to each other and are each about 500 cf. I am wondering if I can use one powerful vortex fan, say 450 cfm or more and put split ducting in order to vent both rooms from one exhaust fan. Any feedback on this is appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I have them on tap water, but I let it sit for 24 hours to off gas the chlorine, then adjust PH. The Golden Humic Extract aloows them to take up nutrients better, its supposed to be good for germination and early stage seedlings. The lights are 18 inches away from the tops.
