what do you guys do with the 4x4x4 rockwool blocks after they have lots of roots coming out of the bottom. I do not have ebb and grow buckets available for transplant yet and i do not want all the roots to get air-pruned.

I was reading through Homebrewer's thread AN connoisseur vs Dyna-gro. I noticed you posted in there quite a bit. Why I was looking is because of what we talked about before. I think this GMB Ph perfect is to hot and I'm really seeing it this grow. I'm almost 6th week of bud and I'm running about 950ppm's and my plants do not look as good as I would like.So I was looking for alternatives. I know your using Canna now but did you ever run a grow with Dyna-Grow? Can't say I don't like the idea of 1 jug of nutes. Just curious what your thoughts are? Thanks

And another side bar...there are too new nute brands that people are raving about. My perlite Hempy friend mentions heavy 16 every damn time I see him...every time. Also, people really seem to like the current culture nutrients. Really concentrated, designed for water culture and no dyes.
Anyone have any experience? I had terrific results with DM last run, better than PBP.

I have containers set up in stages, I have a bathroom dedicated to cleaning my equipment, including hydroton. I know how long to soak in bleach solution, I know how long it takes to remove the bleach. I have washing containers set up specifically for the task. These days it's mostly time intensive. Also, I am not running a warehouse. I'm running two 3'x6' E&F tables. If I had to wash 5 - 10 times the amount I would probably be thinking about rockwool. Or I would hire a hydroton washing monkey.
I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. But like I said, it beats the hell out of working at a help desk, or digging ditches. I just try to remind myself of that whenever I get frustrated at the work.
Legallyflying,
I used Heavy 16 A&B with Prime in soil and had good results. Switched to Ebb & Gro and stopped because I believe the Prime is super dirty in the res. If you were to use just the A&B I think it would be fine because I believe there is no organic matter in them.

Yah the dyna gro was ok nice plants with good
growth but lacked the push in weight!
the heavy is outstanding in drain to waist! BUt
dirty in recycle! So far canna and bc nutes are
safe and good push.
On another note I'm going to be testing aptus
sups in con with canna

Thanks for your response! I was just looking at the Aptus website, looks interesting. But it also looks like a lot of $tuff.. Maybe I'll give Canna a run this time around. What would you recommend other then aqua vega a & b? Keep in mind I don't want to use anything additional unless absolutely necessary. Thanks!Yah the dyna gro was ok nice plants with good

Use there base and the pk but no
boost or zyme, also use the
ryhzotonic, I use the bc magical
for cal mag. For a late pk booster
i might start using moab
The aptus is alot but I'm only going
to use the fossilitator to start off, one
250ml bottle will last many grows so
its worth it.
