BUUUT, I just finished my first home-made hydroponic system.
It holds 8 plants.

ANNND I just set everything up for my NEW SETUP:D:Dannd it looks gooood:D

I set up three 42W CFLs and put up a blanket so it can be dark when it wants to.

When they stretched like that on me I took the rockwool and tore it open. I then stuck the stem down into the rockwool further so that the leaves just barely came out of the top fo the hydroton. I'm not a 100% sure how you are doing it, but this worked for me.

Yeah, it happened to me when I started vegging multiple plants in different stages. I would find someone more experienced than me to find the exact way of doing this. I'm just relaying what worked for me.

I just got some 2x4's and some black garbage bags.
I plan on putting those boards up around both widths and heights so I can stapel the black garbage bags up.

I'm doing this because there is light from the vegitation room when the floweing room is suppose2 be completely dark, and i heard it can make a big difference on the growth.

You're going to need a lot of garbage bags. try mylar, it's not expensive.

Mylar is good. I've also seen black white poly wrap in 6 mil. I'm not sure if they make mylar @ 6 mil. The only problem I found with mylar is getting that stuff to not wrinkle, but I'm sure that's the problem with any type of of stuff you put on the walls. Would just seem easier to me if the stuff wasn't as thin as the stuff I used. Just my 2 cents, I would ask around.

Yeah, I don't like it either. What I use is some stuff called white/black/white. It has an extra layer of white and it's claimed that this blocks all light. I'm using the stuff as a cover for my bubblers and I harvest tomorrow, so it must do the job it say it does.

:D:D
Well I decided to go get some black plastic from home depots.
I got 12' x 2' for $15.00.
That means that I had to put up three 4' sheets from the top down so it would cover up the light from the vegitation room.





I am leaving 2morro morning and I wont see my plants for 3 days, so lets all hope it goes well.

ALSO I WANT TO PUT 7 OF MY WHITE WIDOWS INTO MY ROCKWOOL CUBES TO PUT INTO MY VEGITATION ROOM.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS BY JUST PUTTING THE SEEDS IN, AND THEN IT WILL SPROUT ABOUT 5 - 7 DAYS LATER?

Thanks

I am a first time grower,[in-door, hydroponic] and am curious to find out if buying Feminized seed will provide an advantage.
