Ventilation is good...it's hooked up to my cold air intake for my house thru 4" ducting. With hand in front of ducting I can feel decent flow I think for the size of my propagator tent (24"x24"x36"). I've tried to keep the plugs moist and not dry out, although a few have...at least the top...

lol yes I made sure to wash my balls really good, rinsed em twice! And no I haven't used any nutes, although the Root Riots come with micronutes in them.

Dude thanks for taking the time to type that! And nothing you said is taken the wrong way. This is my first grow...so what the fuck do I know?? haha So yeah I've buried the cups a little more like in the last set of pics...not completely covered but none of the side roots are exposed. The...

These are Root Riots, 7 days in. The white stuff showed on one yesterday, and then another today! What is it? Relative Humidity is from 25% to 35% Thanks

Ok I'm thinking humidity might be an issue? When the temp get to around 85f(30c) the relative humidity sometimes goes down to around 25%, but usually seems to hover just over 30%. I put some soaked towels in the tent and a couple of glasses of water. Didn't seem to do anything to the...

I definitely think I moved some around too much, pulling them and their roots out. I don't think the roots liked to be pulled out and then put back. Still unsure if its water or not....I made a new tray with fresh hydroton and buried as much of the pot as I can. I turned the lights off for...

Hey guys I'm a little confused on what is the best way to go about so I can move my plants? This is my first grow I want to be able to move these to a DWC for flower, but I don't want to break any roots trying to remove them. I was thinking net pots, but now you have me thinking that the roots...

:-(What do you guys think? This is my first grow It's been 7 days since I put the germinated seeds in the Root Riots and put them in this tray. I have maybe 4 days more max until my veg equipment arrives. Temps range from 68f(20c) to 85f(30c). Relative humidity ranges from 25% to 35%...

For my first grow I thought I'd do DWC, but then I realized I can only fit 9 5gal buckets in my tent(4'x4'), but I have 10 seedlings so I have to rethink my veg setup. I think Ebb n' Flow (flood and drain) is the better option for veg. That way I can take out the males and then use DWC...

Hey NorCal what size pump did you go with? I'm trying to put together a RDWC/Undercuurent design, using 1" flexible tubing to connect the bottoms of the buckets to the bottom of the controller. I will the use 3/4" tubing to connect the pump which will feed into the top of the controller. Gravity...

I love the Undercurrent design, but unfortunately I'm in a tent, so the rigid PVC won't work. I want to run a set up like the Undercurrent, but instead of PVC, I want to use 1" flexible hose to connect the bottom of the controller to the buckets, and then somehow reduce down to 3/4" for an...

I'm thinking of buying the 400w MH. I would like how they perform as well

Hey just reviving this as I'm shopping for a new bulb to mate with my new Lumatek 600w(400w and 300w selectable). I've heard bad things about Hotilux not liking Lumatek ballasts...not sure if the new ballasts fixed that?? Hey Cissy, what did you mean by "upgraded Hortilux"?....Does that mean...

I'm looking at all the available EC test pens out there, and there seems to be 4 main options for how it's displayed. Is µS/cm the preferable resolution(0 to 1999) or mS/cm( 0.00 to 10.00)? Lots of people on grow forums seem to use a 1.0 type value when talking about EC, so I guess that...

Well I might have jumped the gun and germinated my seeds a little too quick, as my vegging equipment isn't here yet. All 10 seeds gave a tap root within 48hrs and I then transplanted them into Root Riot starter cubes. Now today (less than 48hrs after going into cubes) a few of them have a...

Hey all. I'm feeling a little stressed and short of time, trying to get everything ready for my first outdoor grow this summer. I'm shooting for around 50 outdoor plants set in 5 or so different sites. Since it's my first grow, I'm assuming I'll only harvest 1/5 of that, which is why I'm...

Awesome, thanks guys. I ended up just putting the root riots in the 2" pots they stand up. I like the idea of some hydroton in there as well. Should I add any water to the Root Riot after putting the sprouted seed in? If I squeeze the root riot hard it water will show, but I'm worried they...

So duh I seem to have overlooked an important detail here. Some seeds have a nice tap root and need to go into the Root Riots I have. Only problem is they don't stand up on their own as they're slightly tapered in at the bottom. I don't have one of those tray's with individual plugs that I...

My tents are back ordered for at least the next month, so I've had to get creative with where I'm going to veg till they arrive. Good thing I have an old 46" rear projection TV that I gutted(didn't work). It's a perfect chamber that fits a Rubbermaid container nicely. My final setup will be...

Awesome, thanks for the tips! Just curious tho, why no pump on return? That's how the Undercurrent does it, and I think it gives better flow, plus the pump can be out of the rez. At least that's what I make of it, but this is my first time so that's why I'm here asking what may be dumb...
