No worries in rinsing roots. Ive attacked mine in the past. They will take a bit to recover perhaps, but in a week to 10days, big as hell for sure, these babies are tough. I'm not sure about water ALL day. I dont run a top feed setup, but in my experience, hydroton stays wetter for longer than...

Being a new grower, you could perhaps just go with the 3 part system, and run some overdrive for the last 2 weeks, then flush. If you want a complete shopping list, you are asking a very expensive and opinionated question. Perhaps invest in a 1st week bloom enhancer. then a bud/flower enhancer...

EXACTLY!! Final rinse from the top....A LOT (final phase nutes?). drain tubs, add fresh and flush till the end my friend.

Im using tap water that comes from a natural spring. The water company adds chlorine and it contains calcium. After aerating for 48hrs, the ppm go from 125 to 80. My plant havent protested a bit. That, and no need for Cal/Mag additives in my nutrients. I would think you can run it. Cept for the...

I also switched to AN ph down. That shit is scary strong!! It saves me so much money over that laguna crap! AN seems to stay at the range longer too, but that could just be Bullshit. I can vouch for it saving me money tho! A ph swing of 5.6-6.4 over a week is no big deal. Looks to me like you...

Smell was the biggest issue I had to keeping things stealth. You COULD put things in your grow room to cover smell, but what about the smell in the yard? That, and putting ozium, ona gel, and other things in your room could possibly change the odor/flavor of your babies, could it not? Trust me...

Figure on odor control about mid flower, 3-4 weeks. I run filters throught the entire grow. Keeps air cleaner and Its worth me not worrying. Got home one day, 4 weeks into flower, and could smell it in the driveway. Next day I was ordering a filter. Some strains smell a lot more than others...

I am using the 1.5" rockwool, and after they look good, i transplant them into 3/4gal each of hydroton. Just place the blocks in the media. The Wool stays wet for a long damn time, but its so little, dont fret about mold. The hydroton will hold moisture longer than you think. I had mine on a...

Yep, its called "sherm" or "wetting" a smoke. I dont think there IS an answer to your question. When you add a seperate chemical to THC, isnt the reaction you get from the chemical itself, not the reaction of the two combining? Its like snorting coke and drinking a beer. Youll catch a different...

If its the bottom tiny leaves, yellowing, dont worry. Im an indoor man, but best i can advise. Don't use the MG as directed. I tried MG and burned the shit outta my gals. Earth Juice was more user friendly. Also Dont overwater! I think I read that summer solstice in USA was in June. If your...

Lots of air flow, and a climate controlled a/c unit. If you are going smaller, perhaps just make sure your house temp air get pulled into grow room at an alarming rate. My room is filtered about every 60seconds, that seems to keep the air temps down. In my little grow cab, I have air cooled...

And you cant replace the joy of gardening. Well put Mouse!!!

Ummm, kay. So It isnt HARD, just tedious? Or is it hard and a waste of money? I thought most hobbies were a waste of money, unless you consider personal enjoyment a form of compensation. Didn't realize I was looking so stupid, was just trying to keep this thread simple and keep the debate as...

The airstones in my setup only seem to make the buffering action of the tap water, happen faster. I used to leave the stone out of mine, but my water went murky, and I noticed that the ph was still going up. Now, I run the bubbler 24hrs a day. It helps me reach a stable ph faster. Its the damn...

Aside from being an opinion about soil vs. hydro...... again, whats your take on it being hard to do? Why dont you start a thread, or post in one of the many that argues "how much better soil is than hydro", and about how you dont even need to buy nutes if you own a goat." Does this...

My nutes went from regular GMB advanced to Overdrive 5th week in. Now, I know they the same company, but they arent the same shit. I also incorporate some earth juice. I dont think your plant cares if it wears NIKE's for a month then PRO-WINGS, as long as the shoe fits the occassion. Ive gone...

WOW, you were cleaning your trays weekly? Martha stewart aint got shit on you. I clean mine at flower change and when its over. I admit, I clean the nute tubs about 1 a month tho. Yep, the joys of growing includes versatility and personal choices. Glad you tried hydro and even happier you found...

4 or 5 more grows hell. You get one to go and you're set. :) Krisko, EXACTLY!!!! Same situation here! Jack, I agree with the drawbacks. Unless you had it dailed in from experience, I wouldnt reccomend leaving hydro unattended for too long. Outdoors, Id go soil all the way. Ive also...

All you need now is TIME. Looks like you did all your homework, and all thats left is real world trial and error. All i can say is that your grows will keep getting better, and you'll keep amassing equipment to fit ur needs perfectly. Its awesome what your doing, and a shame some countries...

True!! How'd you know I suck at math? Im just thinkin that if someone can figure out soil, cant they figure out hydro? They both seem to be of near same difficulty to me. Sorry if im being presumptious in saying its "not that hard". Happy growing!!
