lol, first page mate!

waaat k maybe i didnt reed the first page just the title

wait but isnt it different with DWc? like the roots are in water 24/7

there is a very small amount of light getting into the res... but the hose is direct in the middle.... so i dont think they would be able to live ... i thought algae was green....

if you look at my pic its like a shade of brown :/

brown algae is algae that is not developing anymore. were they green at any point?

nope.... its been only a week and a half that i even have been using a res... but i cant remember green....

is it possible its mineral deposits or salts?

I have my pump turn on for 4 minutes every hour. just long enough to completely fill the table to the right height, then slowly drain back out for another 4 minutes. no watering at night. I'm using 50lb of fish tank stone for my first grow. it's been working great. I could probably take it down to every 2 hours, but why try fixing something that's not broke?

I have a second set of plants on about week 2. I have a drip system ready for them, but I'm watering once every 2 days while they're young. I get the earth plugs damp then wait for them to dry before watering again. I don't water the plugs directly, or they get to wet. I pour water around the outside of them in the fish tank stone. this gives them the right amount of water. also, for now, just plain tab water until they get bigger. maybe in another week or 2 I'll switch to the automatic drip system with 1/4 strength nutes.

in aeroflo2 we keep it running 24/7

wow this is an active thread

many people have different watering schemes. Im about to flower soon. Does anyone chance watering schedules for flowering from vegging

jeeze...i feed my girls 3 times a day ..every 8 hours...i just let the tray fill up about 75% then drain it..i cant find timers that only turn on for a few minuts...i need those....but u dont overwater watering them every hour??.

I flood 3x a day at 15 min. for veg. I flood 2x a day at 15 min. for flowering. I flood a half hour after the lights come on and a half hour before the lights turn off. I've never had any problems.

Hi,

I am on my first grow, seedlings are at 2 inchs and about to go in pots. Im using a recirculated reservoir drip system.

I was told by an experienced grower not to worry with Rock Wool because its trouble, just to use Hydroton by itself as a growing medium. The seedlings are in Rock Wool cubes, so im just going to put them into the Hydroton.

Question is given that the Hydrotron holds very little (if any) moisture, how many times a day should I water them? I imagine it would dry out fairly quickly?

At the moment I've got my pump set to come on 3 times a day (during light) for 30 mins each time.

Enough?
