    rockwool/drip system question

    The SoG method involves flowering clones right after they set root and pruning off any branching which appears in wks1 & 3 of flowering. You can grow up to 4 SoG style plants per SF.

    Plants growing too slow??

    Yeah toasty, that makes sense. High strength H2O2 is definitely a hazchem. I have no patience for bullshit, I'd simply not buy anything from a shop whose clerks lie to me.

    45 days of vegging and still no roots?

    Sorry, man. Doesn't seem like that's what you got. I found this as a top result on Goog when searching for Botanicare Power Series:: I'd stay right away from Botanicare. Try GH, AN or Canna.

    humidity...

    Very cold temps (<16C) can cause purpling. However, such cold temps will also stunt the plant and reduce yields. There's a culture of ignorance around purple plants. Some ppl have the idea that they are unusually potent. Purple buds are not usually a good thing, normally indicates nute...

    That's not a cannabis plant. Leaf stems on cannabis plants are referred to as 'petioles.'

    30-50% RH is ideal! No problem!

    rockwool/drip system question

    HPS works fine for vegging mums, though it does yield somewhat elongated plants compared to MH. Since I prefer long stems for my cuttings, this suits my style of op.

    45 days of vegging and still no roots?

    Yes, you need to get a big packet of 'Good Luck' from any passing leprechaun. You need plenty of it to get a bubble/aerocloner to work. I've had ordinary success with such methods in the past. hopefully. The finishing height of any cannabis plant will be determined by the growing method. I've...

    Some roots nose out of the drain holes in the pots, but the exposed roots are not kept wet enough by the either 2 or 3 floods/lights-on to support their escape. Exposure to air prunes off any escapees. They're never more than a couple mm long out of the drain holes.

    Plants growing too slow??

    I don't know where this furphy came from either, but it seems rather specific to RIU. I have not seen the rumour on other boards. I had a UK user also say that high strength H2O2 was banned in the UK on cause that it is a constituent chemical, along with acetone, for making the highly unstable...

    I use a way low-tech method for sprouting beans. A paper towel, folded in quarters, gets about 3-4ml of water and is stuck in a ziploc bag. Beans are put on the surface of the paper towel and the bag is held partly open. The bag, towel & beans go on the back of my (CRT) computer monitor, which...

    Plants growing too slow??

    I'm about the plaster the 'California H2O2 ban' with the urban myth label. Every time someone tells me it's been banned, I can still find it at hydro shops in LA.

    A Batch of Clones in Rockwool

    Hope they don't wilt... What is the temp of the lizard heating pad? If you have a very thin (0.2-0.3mm) blow moulded plastic tray, put the tray on the pad and the plants in the tray.

    How often to water Ebb Flow 12 site?

    Don't bother with the extra cost of feminised seeds, just get ordinary ones. You'll get 50% females on average anyway. see https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/15030-batch-clones-rockwool.html Flood systems are much simpler and more reliable. 2-3 of the largest CFLs you can get...

    I had similar results with stem tip rot in aerocloners, but didn't usually have transplant shock probs. It's also the reason I went back to RW cubes.

    How often to water Ebb Flow 12 site?

    Feminised seeds are not a sure thing. They come up about 80% female, never 100%. You can invest space to raise mums and to have a clonebox so you raise only females and can have them whenever you need them, or you can waste space growing males until you determine their sex. If you want a grow...

    Easy Roll Light Hangers

    Ain't they just. :) I used to hang my lights with open link chain. Lift light with one hand, change link position with the other. Bothersome. With Easyrolls, pull to desired height and leave it. Done.
