My current grow cannot handle the 15min every 3hour watering schedule that most recommend. I removed one watering in my 12 hour cycle. Yes you can clearly over water with hydro.

if all you run is hydroton... then you can water much more often. but with rockwool, you want it to saturate, then, slowly dry .... then before it's too dry, it will water again.

there are many many ways to skin a cat. If you watch closely for signs of overwatering, and taper off accordingly, then you will be just fine. Watering schedules are completely dependent upon media and grow room conditions.:weed:

Yeah, my RW was staying far to wet for my liking. I'm having a wayyyyy easier time controlling watering schedules with my new media choice, 50% hydroton 50% rockwool mini-cubes. You get the nice air properties of the hydroton without requiring 5-8 waterings a day because of the retention of the cubes. Not having the big block of RW has lowered my ph problems greatly. We'll c how it goes the rest of the grow. Feel free to join me over there guys, know there's not much to see now, but soon enough!

hey someguy15 i helped a guy do hydroton & he had clones started in rapid rooter plugs we went strait into net pots filled with hydroton flooded 3 times a day worked good & had good results.myself i use rockwool blocks on top of rockwool 3'' slabs youre right about rock wool holding water a long time i dont like to mix them for that reason i ph my rockwool at 5.5 & feed nutes at 5.5-5.9 as ph in r/w tends to climb its just its nature i flood every 7-10 days with good results here 2 pics about 2 weeks apart

7 to 10 days between floods damn. Does your ph climb like crazy just before the flood? Pure hydroton works great flooding 4-8 times a day. I mixed some RW minicubes in to reduce it. twice a day in veg, three times a day all through flower. I guess I prefer watering more often, feel like I have greater control of the PH & nutrient levels. It also seems to help 'flush' away the toxic salts the plants produce and keep the growth up. Your pics look great tho, obviously you got it workin'.

Looks nice. Now u gotta make some BHO to give to ur patients and they'll be in love.

haha very soon. I don't want to make an extractor out of PVC as it leaches harmful chemicals, so it's gotta be stainless steel. Gotta track down the parts and find a good open place to make it. I'm not about to set myself up in flames for some BHO :lol: but soon, it's on my list of things to make still.
