I flood for a hour three times a day,you are growing in water.it will push the old oxygen out of the root zone and replace it with fresh oxygen.if I were using rock wool id let it dry better.
im running a lot of lights for a small grow

Man that screen is perfect. can you walk all the way around it ? I was think about hanging a screen on some type of movable apparatus and rachettes make perfect sense. how many lights ?
sorry I just seen this post, i think ,the screens are made out of one inch thin wall pvc,its lighter,harder to cut,but lighter than the schedule 40,it is just what it looks like,i wish I could walk all around the thing but its against a wall,my area is to small, build a frame just how it looks,then stretch and mount your nets,put it on ratchet straps,moves up out of the way or down,nice and convenient and adjustable,,
what you need to check out is the orca film,you want a big bumb In production?buy a roll of that shit and go to town,
put it on the floors under the plants put it on the walls make curtains out of it,
also,do not glue the joints,just shove them together tight and get some three quarter inch screws with a small drill bit and screw the joints together,also put screws around the edges to you can just hook the net onto the screws,holding it nice and tight,mount straps on the bottom of the frame holding it from the bottom,hope this helps

First time running my full room . 36 site ebb n grow pots in perlite smartpots , two 55 gal rez ,2 chillers, 2 K a side and I think it's a 1 ton AC. The Rez's stay set for days and take 5 gal a day each right now . 600 - 650 ppm.

SFVOG, Skywalker, and OG. oh and one sour diesel to see if it's legit. Just flipped them last Friday.

I have a 55 gallon reservoir with 15 5 gallon buckets and I made the mistake of using General hydroponics general organics line. I have 3 " rockwool Grodan blocks on top of hydroton. I'm having problems with leaves not looking right. My ph is always climbing everyday by about. 3 so 5.5 to 5.8 6.1 and go's higher if I do t add ph down. I spent 3000 on all my equipment and really don't want to fail and not get a harvest should I switch to chemical nutes? Or what should I do?

Use the GH 3 part with the vegan blend at 75 % strength water every 3 hours if your in rocks or hydroton every 6 hours in RW. Add the kool bloom liquid at the flip and don't look back. Give em lots of light, co2 and venalation at night. Peace.

If you want to use organic use botanicare pro series,Pro bloom at 12 ml a gallon first two weeks on a 8 week strain ,then 15 ml a gallon through week 4 ,Usw with 2 ml a gallon of cal mag and 5 ml a gallon of silica,
On week 5 use pro soil formula at 15 ml a gallon , drop silica and cal mag out, go with that till week 6, on week seven drop pro soil to 2 ml a gallon,
Your problem is probably coming from mixing rockwool that will hold more moisture than the hydroton,get away from rockwool if you are going to use hydroton, It will stay to wet, If you flood for the hydroton will stay to wet, if you flood for the rockwool the hydroton will not be wet enough,Good luck

sweet i started reading this thread last year before moving to a house with a basement where i can finally get back into hydro! i went and bought it off craigslist and had been holding onto it until about 2 weeks ago when i set it up.. now u guys are all "cap sux get titan cap sux get green trees, big boy, oxygen pots etc etc". i have been pretty happy with it although i did get hit with pretty bad slime about a week in but now i got a chiller and im on heisenbergs tea.. its seems to be handled
