the blocks are ok but stay too wet too long. Plus the PH is high in them. I use Sunleaves Lava Rocks to flower. More dense than hydrotten and minimal residue. Hydrotten way too much residue and theyre too light. They dont really secure the roots. Next grow I'll be using 6 inch heavy duty cups. The blocks cost like 15-20 for a 6 pack and not reusable. But they do work. I just move the rocks and drop the blocks in the spot and cover the blocks. I would recommend these rocks as a medium. Whether you use grow blocks or not. When it comes to blocks I wouldnt reccommend them but, they will work and if you use small blocks they should dry out sooner. I tried the 4X4 blocks. Too big and take forever to dry out. I like my root system to dry out some a couple times a day. You should try the rocks. Even with the blocks. Just use small blocks. 3x3 being the largest. Or, lose the blocks and use cups. that's where I'm headed. The cups are like a buck a piece

here are the cups. the big ones are 6 inch, my mistake. the small ones are 3 inch. not going to use 3 inch, too small. I'm going to drop plugs into the cups after they root and fill cups with rocks then drop in my rock medium. These grow plugs are the best starters Ive found. Quickest root times are with these 
as Ive experienced

yea i feel you on them cubes they do hold alot of water... and i did use hydroton rocks once in a 4x4 table with great results prob beter than the cubes, but i didnt like the cleanup afterwards..
hey have you seen my new thread? what im trying to do is a perpetual sog in my tables... i was planing on using cubes cause they would haveto be moved from flower tray, to final boost tray and then again to flush tray... i wonder if i could do this with baskets and rocks? hmmm maybe if i wrap the baskets to keep the light out, what you think?

yea, i feel the same. my veg tray is hydrotten. Res is always full of crap. I'll switch it to rock too soon. Have to hit the hydro store but it's a hike for me. I used the blocks and hydrot when I started.
umm yea, thread is outrageous. When I started I had perpetual harvest on my mind but conditions changed and had to somewhat conceal my hobby. lol
depending on how far apart each plant is..... actually shouldnt matter. stay with me brain is wandering. they make covers that I've seen made specifically for blocks. Very cheap, reflective white, center whole with a slit. I used them too before, I had an algea problem. I would use them and the basket with rocks. Maybe you can just make them too? But I think its economical. Unless you know where to get free blocks. lol

I been thinking about it and checking out other grow-systems. Maybe coving the whole tray with tinfoil is the way to go. I say this because with flood trays a large area is open. You know what I mean? The top is uncovered. So if we used tinfoil to cover the top we would benefit more in two ways. 1st we would lose half as much H20 to evaporation which equals salt buildup and other problems. 2nd there wont be any problems like algea. I know the blocks and hydrot seems like magnets for it. I havent had any issues with the rocks, thank god.

ok . general statement.
sometimes I get weird mail so... This isnt't a journal. It's definately not a guide. It's just 1st time scrogg build. I'm not an expert anything unless you count fuck-up. It is a Box-Scrog. That's how I designed it. I got really sick 2 weeks ago and never put in the sides. A week ago I thought the growth on the two sides where they would go was kind of week compared to the other sides. You can see in the pic. Needless to say I didn't put them in. Now, if anyone asks something then I tell what I know or think I know. It's all relative. When the grow is finished I ll make a journal and maybe a quick how to make but I think everyone can see what I've done. Lastly, I'm from the city. No dis on others and where there from. But where I come from your nobody til you got a hater. So cmon dude.
