[VictorVIcious]

No he didn't read it, and no Al did not get into it with any mod unless you consider that little spat with fdd about 2 years ago and that was about the bud dryer anyway. VV

I have been growing hydro for the last 2weeks or so. My Seedlings are looking ok but this is my first grow so, i dont know exactly if im doing everything right. Should i leave my fogger on at night and off in the day, or just leave it on 24/7. And how often should i be watering my plants? i have a drip nossel that controls the watering processes and want to make sure i dont over water, which im afraid thats what i may have been doing. If someone is willing to help a fellow hydro grower its appreciated on all levels. Goodlooking

 

[J.Ruhland]

another quick question. i heard somewhere that since im using hydro i should keep my plants on a 24hour schedule, until the flowering cycle and revert to 12/12 after that. Should i be doing this? Ive had my plants on an 18/6 schedule. i am new obvioulsy, but shoot you have to start somewhere right. thanks again

You forgot to tell us what medium you are using, that will determine your watering schedule. The fogger would be a new one on me if you mean you are fogging the room (Careful there). More details of what that is nadhow it is supposed to be used might help?
If your seedlings are looking ok, you must be doing something right. If you provide pictures we may even be able to help you. We are not in your room so we can't see it unless you help us out.
For your other question, experienced grower can prove you can get more production from your plants with the 24 hour light cycle. They must be correct, when I ran my mothers on the 24 hour cycle they grew too fast to fit my production line. I use the 18/6 light cycle, that is just my personal preference, either will do fine.

Agreed, I used to use 24/7 on veg but the plants grew too tall. I am on 18/6 veg light cycle now also.

I meant to post the pictures up last night but i rolled a J and passed out. Anyhow here are a few pictures, my first instinct tells me that ive over waterd a bit. But i will let u be the judge. Anyhow im not exatly sure medium? If u could help me there, i could help you help me a little more. BUt here are the pics

The medium you are using is Hydroton commonly referred to as clay pebbles. SOme of the systems run 24/7 with that medium in a drip system, I don't think it is possible to over water that medium. Potroast recommended 4 to 5 times a day, 10 to 15 minutes, if I remember right.
Nothing else I can do for you, that is a nice looking setup, just make sure you have all the systems necessary to keep your 7 basics in balance, you will be 90% successful. VV

... JR, they look fine just young, possibly a little stretched, its hard to tell heights from the pictures, so let me just run the nute schedule by ya. 1/4 strength at two weeks, no adverse effect, bump it up a 1/4 every three or four days, getting to full strength at about four weeks.
All of this discussion belongs in Your journal. Put all of the details you have of what you have done and how with what there. And of course include pictures. Be sure and link your journal in your signature and send me a link when you have it posted. You have a nice neat looking setup going there, keep it up. VV
