I am getting ready for my first grow. I bought a 4' X 8' grow tent, a 1000W HPS/MH light, and an EBB Hydro system. Can anyone tell me everything I need? Thanks
 
i am using a flood and drain with hydroton. my plants are in rapid rooters and are rootbound. do i have to put the rapid rooter in a bigger block of rockwool or can i just leave it alone in the hydroton and let it grow?

Drop those into larger cubes or if you are gonna do Coco just drop them into red party cups of Coco.

Yes, use of rapid rooter in a bigger block of rockwool provide effective and easy way to plant to grow. It help to plant to use Rapid Rooter for robust early rooting which supports better plant growth and combines composted organic material with plant-derived polymers to provide ideal conditions for beneficial microbes to thrive in the root zone for growing.
 
Just make sure when transplanting u make sure u have enough room for your roots to slide into the new cubewithout being damaged!!! I usually push the centers down in the big squares almost flat to give the roots enough room to take off in the new home safely!! Hope this helps

In a NFT system how important is the water flow rate I believe I'm running it at or under 1 liter per minute any other suggestions for more efficient or better results.

Making The Switch!!!!

Hello everyone!! Just made the big move back west and I am starting from scratch. Ive been growing in soil(roots) for the past two years with great progression. I have been using the Flora Nova series with great results and wanted to run the same in my aero system that i have built. I was just wondering if anyone on here is familiar with that line in an aeroponic (no grow medium) set up?? i havent got anything up and running yet and just hoped that i could get a few guidelines like PH, TDS, If this series of nutrients cause a lot of algae growth in the reservoir?? just the basics and what i can look for.. Any help/tips/knowledge from past experiences with flora nova line or just aeroponics in general wold be GRATEFULLY appreciated!
 
Hi all you RIU guru's I have just built a new hydro garden that i will put into play when the weather cools down a lil. Will be posting pics from day 1....hopefully i dont screw it up too bad hehe but will defiantly be asking for advice as issues arise .....Good luck every one and happy toking :peace:bongsmilie
 
Hey guys I just harvested all of my plants so first grow is over, for second grow I'm going to be doing a hydroponics setup , I'm buying a. 4x8x10 tent and a 4x8 flood table with two aircooled lights some inline fans 2x 400W on light movers and I plan to.use technaflora recipe for success, I'm deciding between cheese, Dutch passion. blueberry or bc bud seeds depot mendo purps . plan to water 3 times a day with 15 minute watering intervals and waterinf when its.cooled like early in the morning and.the late night as well as once in the afternoon, going to do 10 regular seeds and scrog this time as well as lollypopping because I had.lots of popcorn nugs. last go around

I would say try a more water soluble nute like AN or something else. That Nova gunk is a bitch.

I have the time for it just want to build my own flood n drains. I wanna make a 2x2 for veg and like a 3x4 aince I have a 4x4 and a 2x2 tent.
