Hi, I emailed Canna with a question about using their coco medium along with their coco nutes. Their recommendation was to use a flood to waste system. This would not be a convenient setup for me and I really need to use a more "typical" recirculating system with reservoir. I don't know where...

what size containers are you using and what nutes? I want to start and have been advise that coco is better than rockwool, but feeding frequency and nutes seem to be somewhat unclear. I was planing on using Canna Coco with their Coco nutes? thx

What general type of system design are you using? flood & drain, top feed etc? Also a Canna rep told me to use flood to waste. This seemed soundbut very messy and perhaps expensive (nutes down the drain every time?) and requiring alot of tending? Do you find the coco medium staying too wet...

I have been told that Canna nutes far surpass all others when it comes to hydro setups. Have others found this to be true or what other brands have you used with which you were very pleased with the results? Comment on ease of use, shelf life, etc. or any problems with salt build up etc. Also...

Oh great wise ones: :lol: I would like to construct a top feed system using pots filled with hydroton or a mix using it and something else. Is there a better medium to use besides hydroton by itself as far as, perhaps, PH buffering etc. Seems like I read something once about mixing the...

It was my intention to then use a 4" cube for the vegging and then place that cube on top of a 5" pot with hydroton rock (sort of like placing a cube on a slab) or a mix thereof and use a top feed system on the "stack" through harvest. Has anyone done this or it is overkill? Am I'm worrying too...

Hi, I intend to use a digital ballast to run an enhanced spectrum HPS for flowering. With other digital ballasts you can use both HPS and MH bulbs with the same ballast. I would like to use it for vegging as well but can't find any 600W MH bulbs. Does anyone know if they exist and where to...

Thanks, I realize the 1 to 1.5 cubes will be ok for the seedlings, but I mean from there until pre-flowers appear at about 6 - 8 weeks of vegging. Right before I switch to 12/12 under HPS lighting. Thanks Again

I am going to start from seeds and then transfer to rockwool cubes in an ebb and flo system until preflowers appear. I realize that it is somewhat strain dependent, but can anyone give me an idea of what size cubes to use that will allow the plants to reach preflowering stage? How big can I...

yeah...what is this PM shit about " I would just like to wish you a Happy New Year: may all your dreams and aspirations come true "? made me paranoid as hell. what the f***?

Thanks for input..... a couple of questions: 1) did you have good luck with that strain? 2) how did you grow it? 3) Did you clone the resulting plants? My intention would be to not keep any males (from a mix...unless breeding of course) and simply clone the best females (from my fem seeds)...

thanks for the help. Yes I do intend to have covers over 8" wide flood trays with 5" net pots. Do you have experience/knowledge of the best medium to use in the pots between small rockwool cubes or expanded clay pellets? I'm hoping to veg clones in 2 -3 " rockwool cubes and then transfer the...

I have designed an ebb and flow system using 8" slab trays fitted with covers with 4, 5" holes in each cover (American Agritech products) . I intend to use 5" mesh pots for maximum root aeration. The covers will prevent any light from reaching the roots. I will either use rockwool cubes or...

Thanks for the reply. When you said to root a clone and floer it I was like "duh!!" of course. I gues I didn't consider it becasue this will be my first grow and trying to learn to clone and all the other skills semd a bit overwhelming. My question then is: After I germinate the seeds and...

yep.... just what I was wondering. I would like to grow two diffrent strains simultaneously with the same light and am not sure how to do it.

What are some good techniques to control stretchiness and "lankiness" of sativas indoors?

Hi, With 6 different phenotypes, how did you keep even lighting to all of them? Your thread was very informative to me. Thanks all. Dune

V\I would like to try to grow two strains in the same ScrOG....One "flavor' for her (med user) and one for me. The 2 I've chosen are White Russian and Kali Mist. Is it feasible to attempt such a thing since they appear to be so different in their phenotypes? The setup is a top feed...

Hi, I have been reading a couple of growing guides to plan a growing area and starting from seed. there is always a section dealing with "preflowering". It is my understanding that sometimes with the naked eye, but surely with a small magnifier, you can detect small "preflowers" at...

yeah...there is a constant supply of energy that comes though the freakin' wire. The less turned into heat and the more turned into light the better. Efficiency is beautiful! ( I know, too much geek.) Thanks, The dune
