thanks
@Way2-High @Beachwalker I'll give them a look. I'm keen to use something that's more biodegradable than rockwool.
@Thundercat I wish I could run hoses. My tent and laundry room are at opposite ends of the basement and it's completely finished in between. I run a 40 foot 1/4" hose to fill my ro bucket, but it's not something that I can keep there permanently, my dog is a numskull and likes to chew on rubber hoses. A rdwc is probably the ticket and maybe reducing the frequency of reservoir changes. Filling isn't the most painful part for me, it's getting rid of the waste.
@firsttimeARE when I ran my hand through the canopy it was wet. Not just a few drops, but like totally soaked. I don't think it would be very much help to reduce the size of your scrog. With the size of my tent opening, I would have to make the scrog 12"x12" which isn't worth the bother IMO. I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum from you for lifting, I don't want the gross bulging veins that lifting gives you in your hands and arms.
@Blent When i bought everything for this grow, I included everything necessary to build a rdwc. I'm just really nervous about having a problem that's spread to all the plants. If I can successfully get through this grow and meet expectations, that may increase my comfort level.
@Airwalker16 I assume that's easy when you know what your doing and can read your plants. I still have to clue what I'm doing and just following advice and exercising a lot of caution right now.
@Bearijuana it's already a jungle in there. I'll have to post a more recent photo over the weekend.
