Yeah I dont know what ours is really called but its not Ebb&Flow, I know thatI do think I get it now... but that doesn't seem like ebb&flow to me... it doesn't matter what it's called, I get it ok.
I don't think you want to put down more rockwool if they are getting droopy. I have seen people who fill their tables with hydroton, that doesn't stay as wet as rockwool, but still moist, and it will cover the roots from the light, when they get really long. Is this the same set up as your friend has? Like I guess I mean is it 'exactly' like your friends, or have you made some alterations?
How long a time do you run the water, when you do water them? And do you have any idea how much water (volume) is being sent to the girls when you do water them?
The rockwool cubes stay pretty wet at 6 inches each, so i think i may not need to water so often. Right now been doing like 4 cups each plant/day, but didn't water at all yesterday (just the sick ones w/ a couple shots of mag/cal suppl). I suppose I could put more hydroton underneath, and perhaps all throughout the plants...that stuff is expensive tho!! Maybe next crop.
