Yo Potroast! How goes it? Do you know anything about salt buildup on hydroton rocks? there is a little bit starting on mine and I'd like to nip this problem in the bud if its going to harm my girlie's. I did make the mistake last Wednesday of getting some spring water for my rez. I dont...

The buildup is very minimal right now, but I'd like to correct any problems before they become a BIGGER problem, lol.

I appear to have salt buildup on my Hydroton rocks. Is this potentially harmful? If so, anyone know how I can get rid of it? I didn't start getting it until I used that damn Culligan spring water shit. I'm back to regular tap water now.

I was thinking to myself, why bother going to all the trouble of going across town just to spend 10 bucks on pH down when i can just flush out the rez again and use my tap water. the pH of my tap water is 7.4 and i already have some pH Down, might as well just do it that way

Well, flushed out the reservoir today. went and got me some Culligan spring water to refill the res. DUMB idea there, hahaaaaa! pH is at 3.9, after adding the nutes. Was 3.4 b4 adding them. I think I'll just stick to tap water from now on, hehe. Now I have to make a trip to the hydro shop...

no, i didn't bother buying a tank heater VV, the temp stays right about ideal anyways. I will need to pick up a humidifier though, the RH in my room is only 35%. I need to get it up to 45-55% i believe.

Ok, here's a quick update on how the girls are doing after 1 week. Lookin mighty fine, I do believe. Gonna flush out the res. this weekend and start with a new nutrient solution. I'll be using DNF A&B series grow formula.

what I meant was, I have a couple seedlings and the shell casings are still attached to the stems or on a leaf. should i try and pick off the casing, or just leave it there?

Been reading your journal, cool stuff. I've just started my own journal for an all LED grow, no cfl's, hid's or hps here! Just LED's baby. keep an eye on it if you're interested. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/45296-full-led-grow-room-aeroponic.html

Well, there's a noticeable improvement this morning after lowering the lights yesterday. The two girls that I have put in the system are quite a bit mote perky today, showing some growth on the wee leaves. The other seeds I have in the rockwool took right off last night. Looks like things...

I saw a pic of your shell casings on your table. should those be removed from the seedlings? I read somewhere else on here that it didn't matter

Haha, me strong like bull, smart like tree! hahaa

hahaaaa, you anywhere near south western Ontario? lmao! so anyway, those free Kahuna seeds I have suck ass. they're 0 for 5 so far. they've been in the rockwool for 6 days now and aren't lookin to good, couple are brown and shitty lookin, lol. I'm giving the other two Juicy Fruits a few more...

So, I lowered the lights today, lol. they're exactly 13" above the pots. Was a pain in the ass, but I got it done, hahaaa.

I did some more reading from the manufacturer of my lights and you guys are right. The lights should be between 12" and 18" from the plants. Since I've mounted this set of lights to the ceiling, lol, I'll have to figure out how to use the other set of lights that i have, they're shaped like...

From what I've seen and read, the LED's can be placed 6' to 7' above the plants. The light doesn't decrease like MH or HPS lights do. I even tried it myself byt placing one panel about 1' from the wall, the light looks just as intense from 6' away as it does from 1' away, it just covers a...

Ya, me too, hehe. This is my first grow of any kind, so any tips on aeroponic systems and growing would be appreciated.

I usually only use it in my bong if I've gotten some shite tasting weed, harsh stuff. It at least adds a nice flavor to it without killing whatever stone you're gonna get off it. I dont use it when i wanna taste just the weed though, hehe.

Ya, I got them off Ebay last year. If I remember right, i paid about 150$. I might pick up 2 of the all blue panels just for budding. I read that they can increase the yield and potency if you use them during the flowering stage. We'll see. And, as far as the pH goes, I just read that adding...

Well, I've moved two of the seedlings into the system. I wasn't sure what the proper height for moving them, but I did see a few pics of some other guys grows on here and mine looked to be about the same size as theirs when they moved them. These two are the Juicy Fruits, a couple more will be...
