i added a 500 cfm extractiion fan for the cool tube and a 115 cfm in the top. the cool tube is passive..then i cut a vent in the bottom and put in 2 3 spd 22 to 44 cfm cmpruter fans for intake and air flow. no light leaks at all. im surprised at how quiet it is....should the plants always stay in the rockwool when i turn on the waterfarms or should i remove them from it?

National garden wholesale.Its where the guy at my hydro store gets all his stuff from,and if he doesnt have it thats where he gets it!So i know if its in the NGW i can get it.Loving my WW crosses,they are looking great and really stacking on some buds,that are gonna be huge when done!

Yes on the water,id just be guesing cause i dont have one but 15 min,every 2 hrs should be fine.Where did you put the cubes in the bottom middle are top of the net pot?I put mine in the middle and cover them with the hydrotron pebbels,this will help light not getting to the cubes and i also leave the wrapper on em.

What do you want too see?
id like to see the chemo and stinky...im trying to decide out of those 2 which to put in the waterfarm to veg...i killed an ak last night by accident so there is a vacancy....if i have it in a soil 16 oz cup can i take it out and rinse it and put in the WF? or is that too much stress

Il try and get ya some.It can be done,but its very hard not to kill it,alot easier going from hydro to soil versus soil to hydro,but it can be done!I have done it but killed it more often than it making it.
