From what I've read, it's desirable to have the pots up off the bottom of the table so they're not sitting in water. I've seen various ways of doing this, from expensive rubber mats to work-intensive DIY screens and rails.

What about using a thin layer of sterilized gravel? Seems like that'd work, and I can't think of anything wrong with it... so what are your opinions? I got this idea when coming up with ways to solve my little fountain problem.

I flooded and drained my table many times looking at the standing water situation after the drain was complete.

I still had a 1/6 or 1/8 of water that my drain left.

I settled on ceramic tiles that were on clearance at Home Depot. They were just the right thickness to leave a bone dry surface for my pots.

If I ever get to flower I will let you know how it works out.:weed:

PS I actually put a layer of 45 mil pond liner between the tiles and the table liner.

I bet you get all kinds of neat stuff growing besides roots with those temps. Oh yea, you put a bunch of shit in your water to kill all the funk.

Interesting...I try to keep my water cold and you put a heater under yours.

I have 100% success. No funky shit ever and I have always have rooted clones coming out my ass.

Trust me bro...I know my shit.
Well dip me in honey and throw me in an ant farm!!!

At this time i would like to acknowledge Stinkbug as the true WEED Baron for all of RIU and that if there are any questions whatsoever from anyone thinking of growing should be directed to stinkbug's thread get a pound in 3 weeks or what ever the fuck its called.

We should all bow now to the great stinkbugs one's grow and never have another independent thought or idea on how to grow weed.

Please excuse our existence mr stink!!! :finger:

And NO i am NOT sorry for being a dick!!!

Keep your holiness baroness ass of weed to your own thread and stay the fuck out of this one..

If we need to know how to grow oregano we know where to look.

well hello all, im at the stage of cloning in prep for a perpetual sog cab setup, been whatching the cloning debates for a while now. mine are in a homemade bubbler right now, day 6 no roots but still look healthy. Journal has pics.

seems like many people control all or none of the variables in various ways and end up with polar results, so im going with what seems to make sense, sterile equipment, 3 bubbler stones, root gel, h202 and ph 5.8-6. we'll see what happens, hopefully ill wake up to some roots one of these days.
Thats the bitch about growing everyone has the special sauce and way of applying it. Some even recommend pee but that's another story. I always say keep it simple and read a research for your own way of growing.

The Hurricanes couldn't beat their way out of a Seminole and Gator sorority house. Look up wannabe football college and up pops the Miami Hurricanes.

OH please don't hit me anymore Mr. Gator let me smoke your piece pipe Mr. Seminole.


Hurricanes are the bitches of Florida Football !!!!

due to a power surge or the fact that god hates me my1000w hps blew again only this time it blew up and out sending glowing hot shards o' glass all over my newly dehumidified room wich was super duper dry........a small fire ensued burning my wooden bud dryer my burber carpet caught next then the foam sealant i used to fill gaps and cracks that let air in....that stuff sure is good kindling. ha ha ha, omfg people....close to 8000.00 invested and almost 100% of it destroyed. ya i was around when it happened and yes i have/had a fire extinguisher i went to grab it but my wife had moved it and didnt tell me.....she wasnt home.....i bailed water out of my tubs and finally got the hose.....my neighbor, who seen the smoke came runnin' with a fire extinguisher. by the time i knew this he was behind me, helping. it was out a minute later and he just said....wow, man.....i knew it! fuckin cool! how long you been growing? i was like wtf ru serious? my room and part of my garage and an outside wall of the house is burnt pretty badly. i ripped everything out....neighbor helped.....and threw it all on the burn pile and lit that bitch and watched my hard work go up in smoke....even if not in the intended way. i will rebuild but it wont be for about 6 months or longer. thanks to everyone for their guidance and input. wish i could delete my pics now........makes me sad.

wife is against me growing now so we'll see. oh and the fuckin cloner made it out without so much as a smudge. i hate that thing. i'm gonna shoot holes in it today.

i'll be back, gottA wait till tax time now. good luck to everyone and i hope you have better luck than me.

on the bright side i made a new buddy next door.......oh joy:neutral:

you have got to be kidding me.....did your fuckin dog die or something?
stop being stupid!!!!! nothing else grows in there at all and the bunch of shit is h2o2 ass. when your fuckin water is 32 degrees the roots dont care for it much. so the heater brings the temp up to around 65-70......some would say just about perfect.

i guess your not helpfull like i though. you seem to look for arguements with your style of helping people. insults worked well for mom and dad huh?

well that's what the ignore button is for.....nevermind. what happened to you? noone needs to be told how stupid they are or what they are doing is because you've been there. your a writer of sorts and that's all you can do? i think not. sorry for being a dick i just cant believe i got 2 seperate posts from you being unreasonably rude.
Wow... you need to show some respect son. StinkBud has gone WAY out of his way to PROVE a system that works. You should listen to what he has to say and be glad for the advice. Not to mention he's got an article being published in High Times... StinkBud is the new Al B Fuct!

Very sorry to hear about the fire. I hope things work out for you...
