    another newbie to rockwool in need of confidence

    I'll bite. 1- Yep, nute salt builds up. Are you keeping moms in rockwool? 2- Saturate the roots. I flood 3 times with lights on 3- Remember, you want a PH sweep. Figure out how much time you want to spend chasing it. 4- plastic covers on top of your RW.

    Good on ya brainwash. You've vastly increased your odds of success now. Stick with the program, keep it simple, change, measure and observe.

    Skunk #1 Grow

    Still 5 out of 5, pushing into second node now. Moved to a veg DWC setup with a weak grow solution (400ppm). Another week or so, and i'll be taking cuttings to hopefully identify some girls.

    Al B. Fuct grow best strains

    Following a similar Al B technique, I've recently experimented with Dr Atomic NL. From a tall clone, trimming the lower 1/3 yields great single-colas. I've had to be picky about the mother; the Dr Atomic seem to have 50/50 hermie odds, but once a good mom is found, life is good.

    Lets Build a Hydroponic system.

    We are all largely anonymous here anyways, so you'll find help readily available, plentiful, and most of the time good. What kind of budget do you have for setup? What sort of space do you have? What sort of electrical service is in the space? Do you have access to water and sewage nearby...

    Skunk #1 Grow

    Still in a holding pattern until I can pull some clones out of my grow tank and add these gals, which is fine as they can stand to beef up a bit first anyways. Added hydroton for additional water buffering and darkness for the new roots. Added a few squirts from grow tank to serve as a light...

    To top off or to not top off the res mid week with TDS?

    Change up or wait, don't mix in as you have no way of knowing the NPK ratio remaining in your res. If it really bothers you, dump it.

    good germination techniques

    Stay classy dudeman222... pretty douchie way of dealing with people. The irony is leading to this post, I have planted 5 seeds, 2 pointy up, 3 pointy down. The result is exactly as you describe. The pointy end up ones have the tap root wrapped over the top of the seed, stuck 3mm into the...

    good germination techniques

    I'm not trying to fan the flames of opinion by any stretch, but simply stating that for the buck and simplicity, cubes can't be beat. I'm batting 100% on week old Skunk #1 booted up in rockwool. Aside from blind and subsequently retracted hatred, @Cues, help me understand why this is so bad?

    Skunk #1 Grow

    and 5 out of 5 in Rockwool have popped. Going to let them keep pushing and till first set of true leaves. Hopefully I'll be able to get some space in my grow DWC area for them in a few days. Until then, they'll remain in an open, lightly watered tupperware container.

    good germination techniques

    Here on both counts. Rockwool is great for both clones and germination. Have 5 Skunk #1 I started last week popping now. Soak in pH'ed water, put seeds in 5 to 10mm. I seal mine until they pop in a tupperware, burped and checked daily. I leave 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch of water. Once they...

    MapThisShit is the best feature IMO... Good info on genetics and hybrid origins.
