Well I managed to get some pics of the roots. Most plants I couldnt get out of the holes. So I lifted the tray lid to snap a few pics... They dont look too bad really. A bit tanned but not brown at least. Maybe the H2O2 is keeping things in check... This one was probably the darker of the...

Yes I'll try to take some pics. There in the dark cycle now for the next 10hrs. So tonight I will post some. The roots I got rid of were not slimy at all actually. Just alot of light brown mixed with some white ones. Yet they crumbled and pulled away fairly easy. I think the H2O2 was doing its...

Well I wont disagree with you there. Its my assumption O2 is the problem. Lord knows the water here is very poor. Lots of minerals etc. If you fill the bath tub with it theres a brown color thats obvious. Yet the PPM is 100 to 110 depending on the season. And small amount of chlorine odor. I'm...

Well who knows the best timing on this type of system. I have altered the timing to allow 20min. dry time between cycles now. Lifting some pots revealed roots still damp. I think I will stay with that for a bit. No over watering signs at all.They were kicken butt for 2 weeks then began to...

WOW !! 20ml per gallon !! U didnt have any problems? Yes I'm using 29 or 35%. So Al recommends..." The dosage for 50% grade is 1ml/L. 50/29=1.72 so for 29% H2O2, use 1.7ml/L. " Yup. Thats definitely alot more than I'm using. Most everywhere I read about H2O2 gives a max of 5ml/gal. Maybe thats...

Yes I found out after moving some plants...lol. Well I was using the cheap soft plastic pots. So they flex quite a bit when handled. If your using more sturdy pots just fill em up and shake and drop pots repeatedly to settle the rock. 3.5" plastic sleeved RW cubes are very cheap. But work great...

Grew 150 "007" plants in Lava rock last year. I just placed my cloned plant in a 3.5" cube. Then placed on top of 8" pots filled with just lava rock. Each pot sat in a drainage troth and recycled back to reservoir. The roots took right off deep into the rock and very dense. Just dont move the...

I am using H2O2... "Cant use more than 5ml/gal H2O2 so Im maxed on that already." No the rot has started around the middle and lower root bundle. The roots out of cube are fine. Yes I could have just put RW in the trays. Have done that with this system and worked fine. Like i said. Trying to...

Geezz... Just as I suspected. Root rot is starting. I just spent a few hours root trimming the most obvious plants. Some had to be completely stripped of roots. Shit fuck !!! They were healthy when the went in there. plants grew great and tripled the root mass in the following two weeks. But now...

Thanks for the feed back ZEM... Ya in the summer months my 24,000 btu A/C units barely do the job. So reduce to just 4 lights during that time. I have found the reflectors in the light pipes do a great job keeping the light on target. Very little spill. Have only to small back walls exposed and...

LOL... Thanks YAK. Took awhile to make it all. Well the sign board is called Komotex. Its a internally porous 1/8" thick sheeting. Light weight and fairly rigid. Mold resistant and 12 bucks a sheet ! I cut 1.5" pvc pipe into 3" lengths, split into 4 pieces and glue about 20 to the bottom of each...

Hey all... I'm hoping to get some opinions on my grow in multiple 4x8 ft grow trays. What im doing is using these trays enclosed with a signboard lid . Cut holes out for 4" mesh pots stuffed with 3.5" RW cubes. The pots are suspended in the tray by the lid. In turn the lid sits on the tray edges...

Hmmmm... O2 vs Co2 levels ?? I should note. There is cycle time, heat and humidity controlled exhaust fans. Air in room exchanged at 1200 cfm average. Good idea thou. Wonder too if there is something else along those lines.

Im running a similar setup. 14000 btu ac unit exhausting into the light pipe ducting. After much testing... I found it best to run the ac exhaust into a Y pipe on the INTAKE side of the Light cooling fan. Yes seems like it would heat up your lights more. But there was only a 7F temp rise in the...

Done the cloning thing for years. Its a bitch even with Good strain Veg mothers. Some strains just wont clone well too. But ya. You cant get clones to stick when your cuttings are from a flowering plant. You need to revert mom back to veg. But that will take just as long as growing a new mother...

Had the same problem before .. I used a washing machine water valve, or other 120v AC valve. Hooked it up to the tap. Took a good Hand spray bottle. Took the spray nozzle head off and plumed it to the valve controlled by a humidastat . Pointed the sprayer/fogger to a clear area where intake air...

Thanks for the input SCCA. Yes they are very healthy overall. Just hate to see wilting at any time. They look lime green in the pic. Thats cause of the HPS lights. Just checked on them now and there perky again.. lol

After reviewing many other posts here about wilting... I'm thinking this is normal. But would like to hear some opinions from experienced growers here. I have been growing successfully with other strains for the past couple of years with great results !....... Until.... Purple Kush. These things...

LOL... Ya the South Park thing... Too funny. Been watching that show since the late 90's. FYI. Ive never even seen an IGLOO either... lol Thanks too you both for the welcome..

Been reading tons of great stuff on here. Found lots of tips and instruction. Seems like a very knowledgeable lot here.. lol Im growing PK (purple Kush ) Still learning the tricks to it all. Hydro DWC 8 1000W HPS. Light pipes, co2 etc. Looking forward to chatting with others and posting my...
