    aeroponics or hydroponics

    word on the street says DWC (hydro) is comparable to the aeroponic setup, provided there are enough airstones. aero will usually be better due to the large levels of oxygen and nutes. There are tons of tutorials on DIY aeroponics and hydroponics, which are very easy to setup and maintain, and...

    Anyone Got Pictures Of A Plant In L.s.t.?

    you have to be careful because after about a month of vegging the base of the stalk gets really tough and tree-like. After a month the base of the plant gets really tough, and it will snap a lot easier than if you start young. In the pictures I posted above, I started LST at 2 weeks, so the nice...

    Can Someone Enlighten Me?

    thanks Al B. I'm going with a DWC system, and I will be using ONA gel in a bucket with a fan fastened on thanks to the brilliance of videoman! So hopefully odor and ozone won't be a problem. I'll have to do more reading on the small aquarium water pumps and see if thats an option, or buy a...

    DWC vs Aeroponics

    Thanks budluck, I am seriously considering the bubbler for the reasons you stated, also building it will be so much less stressful! I've commited, DWC...I can get the air stones and everything really quick and have it setup in an hour, while the aeroponic is a little bit of a daunting task...

    Can Someone Enlighten Me?

    Thanks guys, I knew was DWC was but no where in my reading was the gap bridged between DWC and the term bubbler...I'm building my own unit, and I plan to build an aeroponic unit, however a bubbler has recently taken my interest as it would be easier to setup and provide about the same yield...

    24/0 Or 18/6 For A Sprout?

    I'd say silk has it about right, there are lots of 24/0 advocates on this forum with excellent results. I'd say go with videomans post on the environmental factors that help cause female's, which is also on the seed brochure for Dutch Passion! Silk, I'm wondering; what were your ratio's of...

    Is L.s.t. For Me? Plz And Thx!!!

    hahahahahhahahahaa sometimes, yes you do have to shout.. your questions are very vague, you should do some reading as LST'ing is never the same, and it depends on your grow space, what you want out of it, how much time, too many things... Doing some reading on the forums / abroad will answer...

    CFL Flowering

    No they aren't full spectrum bulbs. They are 2700k which is perfect! Full spectrum bulbs as far as I know aren't shaped in a spiral. You can definitely maximize your lumen's by: 1. Moving your lights to centimeters away from your plants. 2. Making reflectors of some sort. You don't have to...

    Hst

    just a question. The HST I'm familiar with is pruning. It appears this version of HST is achieving the same goal as that of LST, just without the ties. My question is why put her through stress if the outcome is intended to be the same? Is there some benefit to this that LST does not have? Or...

    12/12 or 10/14?

    If you want to try something new out, and know for yourself what you'd prefer, then by all means. If you want to yield to most you physically and possibly can and you don't care about experimental conditions or learning anything specific (such as 10/14 or 12/12), then I would stick with 12/12...
