really? even indoor? what can i do about mold/fungi? when and how ill i get rid of the cubes? (other then after crop) they are quite cheap in comparison to running the pump. I think i would like to switch if beneficial though.

Oh yeah mold spores are everywhere especially in the basement where I assume your growing to get the max amount of natural Co2. Rockwool will not burn and throwing it away in the trash is like throwing away money. Bubble buckets are simple you just need a aquarium pump some good 2 inch airstones( not the cheap little ones the thick ones at the grow store) a couple black 5 gal buckets air line and netpot lids. You already have the food and ph tester I assume so your already half way there. Plus being in thier own rez prevents cross contamination and root problems

Yeah forget the net and go for the yard stakes that way you can reuse them forever and don't twist tie cause your in for a headache with that stuff. Home Depot sells very small bungee cords that are like 4 inches if you need them to pull tops down on the grid.

No I am actually growing at a high altitude in a controlled environment in my house, and throwing rockwool wouldnt be too bad, they were really cheap. and i have a ph but no food tester. I grow lots of fruit and veggies, so the deficiancies i figured i'd nurse the same way i do. and I already have an air stone, and a fan already built in, did you read my stats? I understand your advice in reference to your grow, but in reference to my situation and environment I need to know if rockwool would be easier because two five gals and an inline wont be fitting in that closet unless im using it as storage. lol

why would twist tying be a headache? I hear its really a growing thing, and it makes sense to me having the buds grow at a 90 degree angle should work fine. kind of like low stress training right? like i said i understand your advice and am grateful. but not looking to mirror your setup or do a revamp of mine. Need some editing to make it work.

im a new member myself. go to my page and peep my activity it lists my closet and bulbs and ph also has a few pics. look forward to your advice after reviewing those pics

wow don't got much room for vertical growth! twist tying sucks because your plants will continue to grow and you need to constantly adjust the grid with the bungee cords are you best bet and with that small of a room your not gonna be able to put that 600 in there. so yeah I,d stay with what you got but do the grid and keep them babies low

should i force flower early due to minimal space? and what about the t5 for bloom? i wanted to like, scrog them against the wall to kind of meet the lights radius.
but if you suggest SOG then ill keep researching.

definitely start them early those girls will double in size once you go 12/12.And yeah they make T5 bulbs that are more towards the red spectrum but the intensity isn't there so the yield will suffer so its very important you get them spread and low as possible

man that stinks, what flowering bulb is best the with the setup changes your referring to? energy/yield its my first grow so i still want it to be relatively fool proof
