C'mon now guys... let's not forget what this is all really about: Helping out the shorties.

Hey Smokertoker, I am planning to duct tape or paint it lightproof, but since I'm dumping the soln I haven't gotten around to it. I will definitely do that once I get a bonafide DWC working. Thanks!

Okay, I will try to go to the hydroshop tomorrow. It's costing me a fortune re-buying all my stuff. :shock: Heh, 40% to 60%? That's dangerous territory where I live. I should start thinking of good excuses for my boss as to why I need to keep leaving in the middle of the day. Wow, it feels...

Do you think I should ditch my Fox Farm nutes? It says they are organic on the cover. Any other nute you'd recommend instead? So am I just aiming to keep the amount of water @ between 50 and 100 percent? I originally started with 22mm cubes surrounded by pellets. I posted about my plants in...

Al, I originally went to the hydroshop to pick up some h202, but when I was talking to the employee about it, he said that the h202 would not be a good fit with my Fox Farms nutes. Is this true? Also, I will try the dipping method. How long should I let the cube sit in the soln? Until it feels...

Al, When I said "water leaves" I meant water level. Sorry, stoned. Thanks for the tips. I used to have the plants in a 1 inch rw cube surrounded by the hydroton. Then when I moved them into 4 inch ones I had to cut the corners and I put the pellets in the sides to fill in the gap and on top...

Update: I hit up a local hydro shop and asked the employee about my lack of roots problem. He suggested I get some Dyna-Gro rooting concentrate. I got it and used some in my solution today. I hope it works. Tokersmoker; If I leave them in the rockwool, how do I feed them other than just hand...

Hey smokertoker, I am not quite sure what you meant. I have them in 4 in. rockwool cubes surrounded by hydroton inside a 4 in. netpot and none of them have roots that are visible. Do you want me to take them out of the rockwool and replace them in the netpot very close to the bottom? Like...

Hey wassup Joe? I am using Fox Farms Big Bloom and Big Grow. I hit up my local hydro store yesterday and asked the guy about my lack of roots problem. He recommended I pick up a bottle of some Dyna-Gro Liquid K-L-N rooting concentrate. I got, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I figure...

Bumpity bump bump.

Hi techhead, I was using my dripper for over 30 days and still couldn't get any roots. I used to water them 4 times a day (dripper), but others were telling me they were over watered, so I switched to twice per day. After I started watering them twice, two of them started curling their leaves...

I have 4 plants (Blue Australian) that I have had growing for over 45 days now and I have yet to see a single root poking out of my 4" meshpot. They vary in sizes from the largest at 8 inches to the smallest at 4 inches. I started them all in a drip/dwc system, but decided that simpler is...

Update: So I have retired the drip/dwc system and moved my babies to new 7 gallon tubs, which has been much better. They are now easier to handle and care for. I have also switched to hand feeding in the morning. At first I thought it was going to be a pain in the ass, but it is actually...

Well I got too lazy to change the res yesterday, but I finally got to it today. Another member recommended a few changes so I'm going to try them out. Things to change: 1. Transplant my 1 inch rockwool cubes into 4 inch cubes. 2. Reduce my TDS to 2/3 strength (app. 1000 ppm). 3. Reduce my...

Thanks for the tip guys. Well where I live it has been getting very hot (mid 90s F) so I figured I'd need something to deal with the heat. My seedlings now sometime see the high 90's. Plus my res temp gets into the 80's which I read is suffocating them. That's the main reason I want the cold...

No grow gurus to give my plans a nod, shake, or shrug?

NoDrama: Thanks for the tip. I will go with just one for CFL for the clone room. My other question I forgot to ask though is about the carbon filter. I was originally planning to attached my carbon filter directly to the Stanley blower's intake, but the tight fit of the top chamber won't allow...

Update: Still working on my cabinet. I got most of the parts ready, but I still have to assemble everything. Here is a picture of what I have planned. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hey guys, I am working on a grow cabinet, but I don't have any experience. I've tried to work things out from other posters and this is what I've put together so far. Any thoughts are appreciated! This is the reflector: Sunleaves ArcticSun Reflector, 18 1/8" x 15 1/4" x 8" - Worm's Way...

Hey Noob, If it's a pH problem then I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I have a pH meter and I check the levels all the time (2 - 3 times per day). I also have some Mad Farmer "Get Down" and keep my pH around 5.4 - 6.5. It shoots up throughout the day so I aim for a lower pH. I have been...
