Hey greatbranch, I was just thinking... You can use Rapid Rooters to grow your seedlings in and just plop each one into a net basket and surround it with Hydroton. The Rapid Rooter should hold together and won't drop pieces in your res like the Peat pots did to me. At least they look like...

The Twins looked worse this morning, so I had to use my last resort and follow PSUAGRO's advice to remove them from their Rockwool cubes. It was a little easier than I thought. When the cubes are soaked, they break apart pretty easily. I might have lost some root, but these plants would have...

So even those are organic. Very cool! Amazing what people can do WITHOUT petroleum, using all natural ingredients instead. I like that kind of tech.

I used to use Peat plugs (not sure what they're called) for sprouting my seeds and then place the whole plug into a net pot like yours. I used the Hydroton to surround the Peat plug in the net basket. But I never tried putting bare roots in a pile of Hydroton, just because those clay pellets...

Flushed the roots by setting the pump timer to 30 min on 60 min off. Later I’ll reset it to pump for only 10 min per hour. Teeny’s already catching up with the other 2 girls: Here’s Lucy taking a shower Ethel still looks like shit, but I think she’ll get better now: I think that...

Thanks, my friend. I started flushing these a lot tonight as you'll see in my next post. I hope it's not so serious. My plants are already perking up a little since I tightened up the watering rings yesterday. I'm really scared of removing them from the Rockwool, even though I know it would...

Thanks, man. I don't mind watering seedlings every day if I have to. I could maybe make little coco plugs for that. But the Rapid Rooters sound like they're ready-made and easy to use. Depends on how "natural" I want to be I guess.

Thanks, Mr Dawg! I'll try to flush the cubes for a while tonight. Maybe that will help. Next time I might plant my seeds in the Perlite as soon as they pop open. But those Rapid Rooter plugs sound interesting, too. Do you know what they're made of? They look like foam rubber or something...

I found 2 free apps that can make recording things in a grow journal easier: DropBox and Docs To Go With DropBox you can share a document between different devices, like a smart phone, tablet and PC. And with Docs To Go you can edit MS Office documents like Word docs on your phone, for...

With this kind of system with all Perlite I usually run the pumps once per hour at most. The Perlite does hold water and stays moist for a while. I copied this from Flowamasta. I think he was running his pumps every hour or two, depending on the plant's needs.

WTF??? Twin #2 is looking pretty bad and the other 2 plants haven’t been growing much either. I better name the Twins before I write any more. From now on I’ll call Twin #1 Lucy and Twin #2 Ethel. So I dug Ethel’s Rockwell cube out to see whether it was over saturated or dry or what...

I see. Didn't know about that. I think by now the pH must be ok. They've been soaked in 5.8 pH for a week or so before transplanting them. But next time I'll definitely soak them in acidic water.

Lowered the Inda-Gro to about 24” above the Twins. Also turned Teeny’s hydro contraption sideways to move her directly under the main light.

No, I didn't do that. When do you soak it? Before the seed pops open? I sprout my seeds in a paper towel after soaking them in a glass of plain water overnight. Then I carefully place each one in the hole in a Rockwell cube. I think I just soaked the cubes in 5.8 pH or thereabouts this...

I haven't seen what kind of hydro system you use, Hyroot. What do you grow your seedlings in, peat or something? That's what I used to use. I'm a little under the weather today, but I'll try to lower my light a little when I can get up on my standing frame.

I've seen Mr Dawg plant his sprouted seeds directly into his grow medium. I think I'll try that next time.

I want my little seedlings to grow faster… Here’s Teeny yesterday: … and Teeny today: Here’s Twin #1 yesterday: … and today: Here’s Twin #2 yesterday: … and today: I don’t know what’s wrong with Twin #2, but some of the leaves are still wilted. Haven’t seen much improvement...

THAT must have been a hard thing to bring yourself to do! 4 weeks into flower... Too bad I don't live near you. :-) Rest in Peace, Shakira II. :-(

You're more creative with names than I am, GB. :idea: An LSD mother plant... Wish I had the space for one of those. You must have a whole extra room devoted to growing, you lucky guy. Having a mother plant would be nice because you can pull a clone off her anytime and save a couple weeks vs...

2 squares didn't do ANYTHING for me... So I ate 4 squares last night, almost half the bar. I eventually got a nice buzz going. Still smoked some more. I guess my tolerance is pretty high. I bet if I ate a whole bar I'd feel pretty good!
