I'll try out your method of skewering the rockwool for the taproot. I take it that it's much easier (and faster) for the wee little root to travel through the rockwool?

Also I was wondering, do you think I would be able to do two seeds in a 6.1" netpot in a 4.7 gal bucket or would that be too many plants for such a small space?

Although I've been thinking, what if Plant one seed and get a slow grower again? not this time! I could try to fit two in the basket and then just cull one of them, by the looks of it you're doing something similar/ the roots are not tangling at the moment.

You talking to Tim or I? If your talking about my little soil over hydro pots, there is just one plant but I grew it short, then topped it, then stretched it, then LST'd it, then a little more LST. IMG_20160125_110727_448.jpg IMG_20160125_110626_288.jpg

Yea, that's pretty much what I am doing.
I always cut the holes and get the roots sticking down thru the holes when I transplant.
Kind of a pain in the ass, but it gets the roots in the soup sooner.
That's why I open that pathway in the rockwool for the taproot.
As soon as it hits the soup..... it's ON

I relocated the internal fan onto the inside of the fridge door.
I turned it sideways for the best usage, but I am sure that the oscillating mechanism was not made to run on its side, so I found the pivot point on the top and drilled a hole for a support pin to hold the weight as it oscillates.
Perfect !

I should have taken a pic before, but I did the final topping on the big AK-47 (you can count 8 tops, barely see the 2 at the bottom).
And I have weights on all of the plants holding the main manifold as flat as possible.
The last pic has Jack on the left and little AK on the right.
I have been trying to brew some of my TEA, but the cold temps simply wouldn't allow it in the shed, they would not breed, actually I think the cold may have killed them???
We finally got some warmer weather and I got a GOOD foamy batch brewed and added a couple cups to the res.
Man, I really don't think it is my imagination, but right after adding a good fresh batch of this tea, you can really see the plant growth take off !!!
I am also seeing noticeable lowering of my PPM daily, which means they are really eating well.
Dang cold weather really seems to slow everything down, but things are looking up now !

man that tea rocks, either that or the hydrogaurd and zho thats in the tea is whats helping things, because Im still not sure im doing it right, lol... I just dont get that foamyness i see in pictures. but the results seem to be noticeable, the ph has been rock solid for over a week and a half, and a steady ppm drop.
