I love F&D because it is so low maintanence and simple. If power ever goes out, no real problem. I started growing with DWC, and you have to watch it like a hawk. While the yields were about 10-15% more in DWC, so much can go wrong so quickly, and I needed security over the small yield gains as I started to grow for a living. I do a mix of 25% perlite and 75% vermiculite over a thin layer of rockwool cubes to keep the rocks from falling out. Best mix I've found so far with the best yields...

F&D is really interesting...I've never seen a setup in person, but I have been researching it and it does seem like the way to go. I'll be researching it more. So how big of pots do you use?

The one thing I like about my little aero setup is how fast they grow in veg...Some strains are amazing, but everything veg's at least twice as fast as compared to soil. Usually 3 weeks of veg time is all that's needed.

If you could go back in time to your younger 20s, what advice would you give to yourself?

1) Don't marry/cohabit/impregnate in the west (unless you're long term unemployed on welfare), the sex is infrequent, the divorce will cost half your assets, and the child maintenance goes on forever.

2) Follow Woody Allan's example, if you must have sex with a woman, never in your own home.

3) If you absolutely have to cohabit, rent don't buy.
The divorce judge can't award your wife the landlord's house.

I use 6 inch square pots. The world's best F&D thread is in RIU's hydro subforum by Al B. Fuct. That is where I learned most of my shit, the guy was amazing with really innovative ideas. My set up is really just a smaller version of his, I highly recommend...

Get a Harvest Every 2 Weeks

This style of op is known as 'Sea of Green' or SoG. You can build this op in any scale you like, from a single mother and just one plant put in to the flowering area every two weeks up to as big as your needs require. The idea is to grow only the top cola of a naturally growing plant with...

Yesterday I stacked a cord of wood. Cut and split about another 1/2 cord......then the splitter broke down. I think the detent in the valve is hanging up. So I went to my shop and straightend up moved all the winter stuff to the front and put summer stuff in the back....made some room now I can drag in the splitter to figure it out. Don't know much about hydraulics wish me luck. Might be hitting you up @GreatwhiteNorth

Opened up, cleaned up, lubed up and put back together. Works better than it has in a while. Still gonna get a new valve so when it happens again I'll just replace. Since the heat is on in the shop I'll get to something in there. Supposed to be in the 60° again soon......but it's 60° in the shop now ;)

Looked out this morning and water is running down the street. One of the sprinkler risers broke for whatever reason. Don't have to dig out the hole any because the dirt was hydraulically removed. $1.40 for the new part. Guess I'll pick up another sprinkler for one in the back yard that is worn out while I'm there.
