Topped, short andbushy plants does NOT sound like SOG...
SOG is a bunch of single cola lollipops...

but regardless, in my op, I always kept my resmat full strength... I had 4 trays, with 48 lollpops each, and each tray was 2 weeks apart... Again, one res at full strength...

if you got good roots, it will not hurt them... Look up Al B. Fuct's threads on the forum here... Lots of good "no-nonsense" info...

but yeah... Good luck!

Thanks again , you have been very helpful, here are some pic of the clones, the smaller ones are 3 weeks behind the bigger ones.2012-11-26_00-37-25_513.jpg2012-11-26_00-37-04_595.jpg

what are the white mats used for over the clones? is that to protect the roots being exposed to the light? also, Since i rooted my clones in an EZ cloner. their is no grow medium, id like to assure that it is OK to put the roots themselves straight into the hydrocorn in the bucket?!?! i dont see why it wouldnt be ok right?



    • OVER-sized res is stable and does not require top off...

      DIALED IN nutrient regimen... you must KNOW EXACTLY how your nutes behave... you may need a pH doser...

      i read this in one of your discussions....15x 3.5gal buckets...55gal res should be perfect?! and "Know how your nutes behave" well funny you say that because ive yet to understand this....my soil plants look GREAT keeping in mind that the ph in the soil fluctuates over time.

      But my issue that im concerned with hydro is that , i have 5gal jugs of roots organic whole line so i must use them up!!! if i HAVE to go get a synthetic note to make hydro life easier on myself i WILL. bUt when mixing my res. i add all my nutes with the desired amount. I ph and then feed. two days late the Ph will RISE! and the ppm lower just a tad bit but not a lot.....is this going to be an issue for my hydro...i was thinking too, if i mix my nutes and wait a day i wouldnt have to add any ph up....could i get away with that or should i aways follow nute mix, ph, feed....after the first initial feeding with the soil i dilute the res back to the top with water. and feed again later in the week, just to leech out and avoid a lockup.......hope this made sense. i have an ec/ph/thermometer too.




Also your the resin profile on some of the buds in the pictures are stellar!!! i see what you mean by single cola....literally take all the branches of!!!

I'm a new grower with a 3ft. Hydro grow box. I have two 1" autoflower drawfs starting to grow. Should I start the 18/6 light regiment now; up to now they have recieved constant light?
 
Mate just use hydro grow wen in veg, ec level 1.8- 2.0, then use hydro bloom when in flowering the same levels, add 7ml liquid silicone one a week and add liquid oxygen once a week 7 ml as well, keep ur ph at 7, add pk boost a couple of weeks into flowering every 7/8 days and use canna flush in the last week and empty everything and add water only till ur ec I below 0.5.

do i just drop the seed in the rockwool cube to get started
you can do it like that but its way better if you do it with the paper towel

Hey guys
This is to the OP or anyone, much appreciated. Alot of you guys seem to be quite knowledgeable in hydroponics whereas I am not! Never tried it
I am humbly asking for a few pointers? I have a plan design of a pvc tube system grow (have done a fair bit of homework) with net pots and a steady current, if you will, of nutrient solution pumped through and back to the rez. Once clones root sufficiently they will go straight to flowering in this setup, no veg. From experience what would be the biggest issues to watch out for? Here's what I would put to practice without any help; EC will sit around 1.0-1.4 never exceeding that. PPM will be around 800-900ish. The solution needs changing every week due to salt buildups, just like flushing my soilless medium. Water must be aerated for DO, using air stones. Solution level is kept on the cooler side and just touching the bottom of the net pots. Ok that's about what I know for now. I would like to know if there's any major issues to watch out for... kiss-ass

im not familiar with flowering as soon as clones form roots, i guess you would just have a little plant with low yield?
everything else sounds good though, my ppm are usually around 125x10 .
make a good ventilation system, i use an intake fan an exhaust fan pulling air out of the room.
what kind of medium are you using? and are you using the drip method for feeding or what?

I have no sound, is there an explanation as to why germinating in a paper towel is better than germinating in a cube? maybe so you can see exactly where the roots are and place the germinating plant in medium accordingly?
 
awrite a wis wonderin wit basic stuff would a need to frow 1 plant just tae try it out and if am satisfied al do a couple more nd build myself up and try new equiment n shit
