Once they started to burn up, I added some stuff to the water, so they could repair. Rooting hormone, super strive, root 66, technaflora strrive, and a tablespoon of miracle grow, to 10 gallons. All in very small quantities.

I am worried about possible fire problems from HPS/LPS bulbs. Can anyone describe how bad it is, and how long it burns??? Also, if you have seen a ballast fire, how bad was it??

I try to use sun whenever possible, and do not have an indoor setup, at this point. Would 2 4 foot florescent tubes be enough light? Will probably just move it to the shade for now. How long should cuttings remain in cloner? Was hoping for about 6 inches. I am going to do an outdoor vinyl...

Built a cloner, based on youtube video's. They all used them inside. First day outside, I popped a circuit breaker, and most fried. Should a cloner be placed in the shade for a week, until some roots grow?? Should some large leave by left on the clones, till they take root. Also, I have the...

I have a follow up question. How tall of a plant, will a 2" net pot support???

Main concern is whether the stalk could be strangled by the hole in the net pot.

In an aeroponic cloner, is it bad for the cutting to extend beyond the bottom of the net pot? Are there pro's and con's?

Should the cutting fit in the net pot, or can it extend from the bottom? Are there advantages or problems from the cutting being too long?

I think we used to have something called fingertip caulk, that was like clay. Is that similar to what you are talking about? My only concern with that, is if it effects the water. The EPDM is safe in contact with drinking water. I have already installed it, so will test it later or tomorrow...

How high should the water in an aeroponic cloner get?? Should it be shooting out of the container with lid off, or barely getting to the lid? Also, should the cutting fit in the net pot, or can it extend from the bottom? Are there advantages or problems from the cutting being too long?

Trying to build my first aeroponic cloner, from rubbermaid 54 gallon storage bin and the lid has a lousy fit. Bought some self adhesive, EPDM rubber seal, "D" shaped weatherstrip at Home Depot. Is there something better to use? Looked up EPDM and it is used in roofing, where people collect the...

We have a lot of deer, that are constantly raiding our gardens (mostly Lily's). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Just sprayed with a product made from putrified eggs, and garlic. Thinking of covering the good plants with lightweight deer fencing.

Will all male plants flower under 12/12 hour cycle???? Or is it species dependent???

Thanks for the answer!!!! That is what the other site inferred. He actually said the males will show quicker than the females. I learned from old books written in the 1970's (Ed Rosenthal).

Have always heard males flower at 3 to 5 months regardless of how many hours a day of light. Took cuttings 2 weeks ago, put into 12 hours of light, and the only recognizable flowers have been male. Saw a thread on another site, that claims reduced light will make males flower, but this...

This is least user friendly site I have been on. How do I get to those settings??? Thanks!!!!

Thanks for the info!!!! Some one else thought DWC was the ultimate.

Grow bulbs throw off tremendous heat. Are there any articles on utilizing that heat, to heat house?? Have seen most carbon filter, then disperse to outside.

What would the chance be, of an old magnetic (1992) ballast, stored in a basement, "Flame Out"??? Does this method work with RDWC? Would adding an air stone to the water source give the benefits of DWC?

There is a great thread by Stinkbud, "Harvest a pound every three weeks" and I can no longer view it. Have checked my DNS resolution for malware monday, and am clean. This is the url that does not come up. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/116859-harvest-pound-every-three-weeks.html
