Ya thanks for the concerns but I believe Botanicare is designed specifically for hydroponics, and the only other additive I use is General Organics which is also used for hydroponics. Plus I use H202 which apparently helps with infections and build ups (correct me if I'm wrong). And besides I...

Very true, you never see 2 plants in one pot, none the less it's going to be a root jungle in there. I was wondering do the roots ever clog up the water pump? If so what do you do? I dont want to cut any of the roots away. And to answer your question AWnox I chose organic because I hear it...

Dont worry just a temporary thing until I drill 2 small net pot holes for them. But 5 plants in one system will still have tangled roots even if they are in different net pots.

Hey massah thanks for the advice, on my way to go get some ph down. What are some ways I can keep my res temp down? I know the frozen water bottle trick, and expensive water coolers. But are there any other affordable ways of keeping res temps down?

A quick update, its been about a week since I moved them into the aeroponic system. They are doing great! I am already seeing roots shoot down the bottom of the net pots. They are still on 18/6 under a 200w CFL. Still haven't had a chance to install my 250w HPS yet. I am thinking of getting a...

Hey everyone so I had originally put up a journal about my grow, but my title was way off, because I was originally going to go with a NFT system, with LED lighting, but before I started I decided to change up a bunch of stuff, so I decided to start a new journal. This is my very first...

Just planted the new seedlings into hydroton. And now they are being put under 200W CFL for the beginning stages of veggin. I was originally going to just have 3 plants, but since all 5 seeds germinated properly and the fact that I am doing SCROG I decided to grow out all 5 of the seedlings...

So after 3 days of germinating the seeds have broke and 4 out of the 5 have broken the surface. I wasn't sure if I was able to put them under lighting yet, but I heard just some weak fluorescent lighting is enough during the early stages. So I am using a aquarium light that I had lying around...

Great good to know, ya I think I will go get a cheap fluorescent like that one. Thanks for the info

Hey so just a quick newbie question. I just germinated seeds in rockwool, and they have been sitting in a dark place, and after 2 days there is signs of life... :) 4 out of the 5 have broken through the surface. So I was wondering when is the right time to put them under CFL lighting? Should I...

So decided to change things up again and just go with a HPS light. The only thing holding me back before was the high temp scare..... But with a installation of a cool tube I should be alright given my limited space and height..... (Hope so) I decided to go with a 250w HPS/MH combo because it...

Ya well where I am its gettin cold quick, with highs of 10 ~ 15 degrees Celsius (60 F), so I think I will be alright. I am going to give it a shot, Ive seen some grow journals where the light is kept only 5 inches away from the tops of the plant in the later stages of flowering, for most of my...

Hey there everyone, just a quick question, I am just looking into lighting options for my grow box. I am very limited for height, I am working with about 4 feet, with the Aeroponic system taking up at least 1.5 feet. So 2.5 feet of growing space. so I decided to go with a SCROG. But the...

Thank you lordji And ya obviously I want to go for it but I dont have the money to go for it or I would lol. Lets see how this first grow goes then maybe we can go from there. Just want to get one under my belt at least

You got to remember this is my first ever grow, just getting started. I dont want to go overboard and get everything right away. Maybe third or fourth grow ill add more lights. But for now I am pretty happy with what I got. But your right for optimum growth I am going to need more lights.

Nope a week or two into veggin Im going to order the 250w LED. Need to get the bankroll back up though lol.

Hey a drip system is very similar to a NFT system but they have their slight differences. Here is a link to a website that shows you the difference. (http://www.simplyhydro.com/system.htm) After doing much thought I decided to switch it up to aeroponic system. This is due to the limited space...

Hey I was just about to start up a small micro 3 plant NFT/Drip system. I was just wondering, is it okay if I put something like perlite or rocks to help with oxygenation, and also giving the roots something to "hold" onto. Will this be beneficial? or just a waste of time n space. Any feedback...

Haha nah man just been doing a lot of researching and google'ing every question you could imagine. Sites n forums such as these ones really help newbies, or else I would be clueless. But thanks, I will post up some pictures n updates as I go along.

Hey everyone so this is my very first attempt at growing, been smoking for a while but thought I would take up a small stealth grow (3 plants) as a hobby. After researching growing techniques and reading journals and going through blogs I have come up with what I need and want for my grow box...
