What up guys. So I got a batch of 12 clones. It has been 14 days since cut and still no root. Not really hear to ask any questions. Just here to say what up and hope all is well with every one. STAY HIGH!!!

You should be geting roots soon, unless theres a issue. You might want to give it a little tug if your in rooters cubes,
if its a cloner then 14 = a issue

I take that back. I posted that while I was still at work. Got home and 6 outta the 12 got some roots going on. All of then are still looking good so I'm not really worried. STAY HIGH!!!

I have a question that's been bothering me for some time now.

What's the best medium for flood and drain? Some people say straight rockwool cubes, but my plant had tons of roots coming out of the bottom of the cube 2 weeks into veg, and I want to put those roots in a nice environment so they can strive instead of getting air pruned.

Another dilemma is that I'm getting clones that are already rooted, with a root small ball. I can't put that in Rockwool. I've been thinking about getting 7x7x9 square pots filled with hydroton and converting my ebb&flow to a recycling top feed. Would a 7x7x9 pots (1.6 gallons) house a 3ft plant? Would 8.5x8.5x10 be better?

Thanks =)

HR, love your simple aquashield and piranha technique. Is great white a good substitute for piranha? Do you use hydrozyme is the rez?

Hay HR I've use tea for my soil grows haven't used it in the ebb yet. Sence I made 3 gallons for 2 plants was thinking of useing it in the new grow. Switching on and off with hygrozyme. I change the tank every 2 weeks and now trying a 80/20 mix. Hydroton and coco. Last 2 weeks was hygrozyme thinking of using the tea in 2 days with the next res change. It says 1 cup per gallon. Was thinking only 1/2 cup. What have you found to work? And it's the xtream gardening tea. And sence this media was high in mycos I planed on feeding them with the tea. Any insight?

HR,

How's it going? Thinking about incorporating a small flood and drain table to veg a buddies and my plants in before transplanting them into our buckets. We've been using 4" grodan blocks then transplanting them into our buckets but would like a little more veg time. One of my questions is when you use a table do you fill it with hydroton? Because I'll want to be able to transplant them to my buckets that I use hydroton in already. I'm sure this is covered on here somewhere but every grow situation is different. What do you think is the best way to veg for transplant into buckets using hydoton? I basically want to do what most people do and cut down on my veg time. Just finished my most successful grow using my ebb & gro system with 16 pots! Any info is always appreciated! Thanks!

Don't fill with hydroton. When you pull them out you will ripoff roots. This will send them into shock. But everything eles will help you speed up time.

Thanks Warlock! So do you just sit them in the table by themselves? Once the roots start exposing themselves in the growdan don't they need to be in something?

Thanks!

For a few weeks your roots will be fine. If your gonna veg along time might wanna cover the table with panda plastic and cut X's where you want your cubes. This will keep roots out of the light.
