Highlife MAJOR kudos!!! I'm currently growing in soil but picked up on this bubbleponics concept yesterday through a friend and I haven't been able to sleep yet. I've been reading article after article and I'm ready =-)
Question: Do you believe your setup would be as efficient without the tubes supplying water and oxygen to the rockwool?
Thanks

awesome thread... I bought this system on ebay... what do you think of it... 6 Plant Top Feed Hydroponic System w/500w Grow Light - eBay (item 250293211111 end time Sep-19-08 19:27:53 PDT) with this system can i grow the plants from start 2 finish or is it too small and the light is that too small also? Should I upgrade to this light.? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270272763166 my friend has this light and no longer uses it and I could get it for 100 bucks... Would i be better upgrading the light or just use the T5 light from the start.?

Check the home depot lighting section bro, Also try to get a bigger reservoir if your are going to grow that many fully mature plants.

Start in General Hydroponics Rapid Rooters then once you have at least 3 nodes bump their butes to 1/4th General Hydroponics Maxigro powder for veg then use Maxio Bloom powders for flower, they will auto PH your water as well.

get in online or at your local head shop. I dont know how those nutes are havent used them but HTG is legit but i would go with more common nutrients

He's definetly right about the nutes balencing ph the ph. Lasttime I canged the res I put in 3/8tsp for a gallon and a half. my plants perked right up but still seems like there looking for more nutes not all the leaves had lifted to my liking. So I uped the nutes to 3/4tsp for 1.5 gallons checked the ph perfect. right around 5.5 So I will be checking roots tommrow when I check ph if I get browning 4oz of h202 goes in the res. I can't prop I can't prop you any more wish I could.

yeah they will brown but it is fine unless the leaves tips start getting nute burn yellow then you should add a lot off water lol

Some of the older leaves that had yellow on them r still looking like shit but have lifted alittle. I don't know if they r burt or lacking nitro. My cola leaves are spreadwide open sucking up the light.Roots look good going to 18/6 for about a week or so going for a quick flower just orderd new seeds.
