Yes, lower it once the roots have grown a few inches down into the water. I usually like to keep it 2 or 3 inches below the bottom of the net pots.

I know some physics, but a lot of this is over my head. However, biology is my subject so I'll approach it from that angle. Plants require many different signaling hormones, one of the more important ones being auxin. So, the light spectrum as well as the light hours will affect these. That...

A spike would only be seen in a real time report of electricity usage. When you turn on an old magnetic one and if you were monitoring it, it would spike up really high for like a split second, then come back down to 600 watts. A digital one won't do that. But it won't really be any cheaper...

P.S. In case you're wondering, I use a 600 watt digital and I would never go back to the old school one now that I've had a digital one.

The only thing I've heard is that the digital ones don't put a spike in your electricity usage. 1000 watts is 1000 watts. Think of physics. Power (wattage) = Voltage X Current. Voltage won't change since that is set through your breaker box and the electric company (110), and the current...

You should do a journal. They're really fun t do and then you can go back and watch how fast the plant grew. You'll be amazed.

Like some have said, strain has something to do with it. Also, the actual method has something to do with it. For instance, DWC will yield more than aeroponics. 1.5 - 2.0 oz's is ok for soil, but I would say 1/4 pound per plant would be better for hydro. And honestly, you shouldn't have any...

I might be really interested in trying that first system you listed with Lowes for $20. That looks like a really cool system, and you wouldn't have the hassle of putting together all those heads. That is what has kept me from builiding one already. Maybe now's the time.

I can tell you this, if you can grow one strain (whatever it is) from start to finish and with relatively little problem, you will be able to grow any strain. It's not really like you have to do anything special with chemicals or ferts for any particular strain. I've grown everything from...

The amount they help between a DWC/bubbleponics and aero system is negligible. Ask anyone here who grows with a DWC method, and they will tell you the same thing. You don't need them. Use one or the other. It basically works like this. You put the water level up till it just touches the net...

Sounds like it would work. They're might be some logistical problems like getting it to hit the roots or possibly mold buildup in it. I'm just throwing ideas out there, so I'm not exactly sure if those would be problems. But, yeah, I would try it. This sounds like it could be the start of a...

I would tend to agree with this as well. I would do one or the other. If you are going to do aeroponics, do it all the way, otherwise there is no point once the plant is large. It will be getting almost all of its nutrients from the bubbleponics part at the time. In my opinion, I would rather...

No problem, that's what we're here for. We gotta help the newbie out so then you can help a newbie out some day. We must overgrow the MAN, ya know? P.S & FYI . I would change it from the 20oz cup to something bigger, at least a 2 or 3 gallon bucket, if you haven't yet. EDIT - oops, I see you...

Basically this is what happens: The roots will grow out at first letting you know that they need a bigger pot. If you don't do anything, the roots that are poking out will start to dry out and shrivel up and die (but not the whole root, just the part that is sticking out). The roots that are in...

It doesn't hurt it, it just won't grow any bigger. It basically is just a symptom that's indicating it's rootbound. You can leave it and it won't die, but it won't grow too much bigger either ;)

Well, actually i read MOST of the thread. I really didn't feel the need to read all of this nonsense. First of all, are they yours? No. Shouldn't you ask first if you can have them, whether or not they are being used currently? Stealing gives the rest of us a bad name and we don't appreciate...

LOL!!! I smell fried chicken... or burnt flesh.

they can go to about 60 at night with very little problems. Being 6" tall, even a 55 night won't kill them. Above all, make sure you account for wild animals. They WILL eat them if you do not take some safety precautions. 1.) Don't use blood meal or bone meal outside. 2.) Fence it off with...

they're perfect. pull them now. 1/2 amber, 1/2 cloudy, that's what you want, and that's what you have. good job.

i have grown start to finish in dwc (that's what i use now). you will definitely get bigger and more potent yields than soil. you can use a bloom enhancer (koolbloom, big bud cha-ching... there are literally hundreds of products out there that do this) and these will help as well. BUT, i...
