what are you running now ?

When I come from that area to the rest of the house my vision is yellow and pulsating for like 5 min. LED's are crazy.

how many do u use? what size? any recommendations?

was looking for either one or two for a 4x4x4 veg space.

two smaller units seems most logical.

Sup yall? Sup Gud?? I so wanna see how that aero set up goes. I'm finding it hard for me to jump straight hydro from dirt. I'm thinking of trying coco and perlite. But want to keep that organic flow going.

Eh Gud hit me up I can't pm you??

My DIY aero set up is cool as a cucumber. It's not an true "aeroponic" setup more like a NFT, but with ez clone sprayer misting. I think in order to be true aeroponic water should be a certain micron or some jazz. All I know is with the DIY aero(basically copy general hydroponics Aero 6 design but with 6" pvc tubes), only have to veg 2 weex and still can pull 2.5 oz a plant. Just as easy as soil/soilless mixes. IMO. And end product would be hard to pick out of a line up with organic buds for sure. Top notch.

Cheers. And may I suggest you just do one dwc in a bucket next to your dirt plants, just don't let it veg as big as your soil plants because that dwc is gonna get huge!. I promise you will not be disappointed.

coco/perl or coco/growstones is the way to go. works great with any hydro setup if you use smartpots, you can grow serious plants in fairly small (at most 3 gal) smartpots. i use gh 3 part and then a goodly amount of organic supplements. i rec flushing weekly and always using cal mag with coco.

gud was talkin bout coco with RW cubes, keep that in consideration.

iv been wondering about those leds you get at home depot. like the phillips one meant to replace incadescants and cfls. wonder if a few will be good for veg. there like 40 a bulb.

That one is legit. I actually got a garlic pheno when I did their chemdawg several cycles ago alongside boss hogg.

Dwc or Hempy is what I was thinking. I want to go vertical bare bulbs my next run.

Man, I picked a bad time to join riu. I had just been a lurker over the last few years and finally had time and desire to join and it is like a soap opera on this site. People fighting, threads locked, breeder's narcing/bad mouthing each other, long time members bailing, and god forbid you have your own opinion on anything.

Like Rodney King said, "Can't we all just hit a bong", I mean "get along".

And I'm still waiting to see some Buddha's dream bud shots.LOL. Come on people let rock it in the name of bud. Just ranting. Everyone: throw somebody you know and high five, because life is good.

I like that TNSE.

I'm pretty sure RIU always had a lot of the aforementioned, its just really pervasive nowadays. Used to think TSD would provide good refuge (especially after getting esko on board) but it just became like the rest. Maybe there needs to be a community/forum wherein all non-growers are kept out. Enforce some requirements prior to being able to post generally. Hm... it'd be tough unless a core set of people joined.

gud's privates are unreachable. meh.

Anyways, I'm going to experiment a little with media and try the coco/rw mix. I'm lining the bottom of my 1 gal pots with rockwool for an inch or two then filling with a 1:1 coco/rockwool mix. Have 3 Vortex clones ready to go in that currently being handfed until I decide drip or e/f. I figure RW on the bottom should keep it wetter a bit longer + help keep coco in the pot. Also thinking about trying at least one 2 gal hempy with this mix.

There's a good solid core of people on RIU IMO. I'd say probably more newbs come here just because it's the top google response to some relevant searches, but I'd also argue that those easily scared off by people asking newbie questions probably think a little too highly of themselves anyway. The most important thing when doing any kind of trade is to remain objective and learn from your mistakes. Being a know it all accomplishes neither and most people who are knowledgeable on here are also pretty level headed and objective IMO.

Well..........since you brought it up, it's the nature of this community. Is now, has always been no matter what forum it is. I've been doing this for 17 years and posted to at least 12 forums, half of them defunct...bye bye. If there are pot growers, there is gonna be fights, back stabbing by the money grabbers and such and newbs who think they know it all. Potroast and I should know. https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/267989-uncle-bens-gardening-tweeks-pointers-91.html

Compared to most forums I belong to pot growers tend to be dysfunctional, undisciplined, come from abusive, broken or single parent families, have issues with substance abuse and psychological issues with depression being one of the primary problems.

It is what it is.
