what pH should the water be that I soak the rockwool cubes in?

I haven't even germed the seeds yet. Tomorrow is the big day though I'm very excited. I think I will just spray them and keep the water level higher up until the roots grow. I can not wait

What is the best way to make a simple drip system? can I just keep the water level up until the roots reach the water?

Thanks I hope my homework pays off

Just to clarify, I have a DWC from SH, not a bubbleponics system. Mine is not six gallons, nor does it have pumps or a drip system giving water to roots. There is an air pump and bubble disk, and net pots. If the water is not touching the pots, I don't see how any plant could grow, so I...

thanks yeah I'll definitely be buying as I go, hopefully in time. thanks for the help! I found some old black lights that I can put new bulbs in. As of now my setup will be (3) 55W CFL, 3600 lumens, 5000K (1) F15T8 20W 700 Lumens, 6500K (1) F20T10 20W, 1200 lumens, 4200K (I am still...

If I can't find 6500K for veg will 5000 be enough? Your set up looks sick hopefully I'll end up with somethin like that

I plan on using 3, 55W bulbs, each putting out 3600 lumens, totaling 10,800 lumens. That will be enough to grow two plants right? If I get 3 or four females, I'll have to add more light

thanks I now have the info I need! One more question, in a DWC system does the water level always need to be touching the net pots?

Thanks for the advice, the paper towel method does seem simple and effective, but once the seeds have sprouted, do I insert them into the rockwool, or directly into the net pot with grow rocks? (I am using a DWC hydro system)

I just got my DWC from stealth hydro, and am almost ready to start my seeds. The kit says to germinate the seeds in the rockwool cubes by just putting the cubes in the net pots with grow rocks. Will the rockwool cubes be moist enough to germ the seeds? Also I realize this is a very dumb...

I bought a DWC kit with rockwool cubes, but am unsure how to start the seeds in them. Online, it says to soak the cube for 24 hours then put in seed. The kit says to just put the seed in the cube, and put the cube in the net pot with grow rocks. I am confused on what to do, and am very scared...

I am about to start using my new DWC system, and plan on using CFL's due to space and cost. What is the minimum wattage I need to start four seeds? What is the minimum wattage I need to grow and flower two plants? I plan on starting four seeds, expecting 2 to be male. My budget is very...

yeah I want to avoid getting a ballast, I found a light that holds three bulbs if I put in 3 65W bulbs will that be enough light? Also, how much should I use to start my seeds?

I am getting ready to start using my new DWC i got from stealth hydro. I have tried to figure out the best way to start the seeds, but have come up with no good conclusion. I have rockwool cubes, but how should I start them? the guide that came with the system says to just put the seed in the...

I am about to start my first grow, and am choosing to use CFL's for a few reasons. I understand that to grow four plants, I need around 20,000 lumens. So that would be two 200W CFLs. Where can I plug 200W bulbs into? I have a very low budget. Also, are there any flaws in my design? 5,000...

Yeah I did mean desk fans haha but I'll look into the centrifugals. thats lame about books but oh well I've been learning a lot on here thanks again for your help

I am thinking of stepping it up to the 250W, then i'll get about 7000 lumens for each plant. Any odor controlling product you recommend? there seem to be a lot and I can't tell what will work best. my seeds arrived today, and my DWC system shipped so I'm getting very excited! also, any good...

Thanks for the advice, I know a took a big risk but I'm lookin for that big reward! I'll get some CFL's for sure

thanks for your advice on the lights, I'll pick up some CFL's as well. For ventilation I plan on using standard fans, to cool and ventilate and strengthen the stems. For odor I think I'm gettin some odor killing gel, something with ozium in it. Any suggestions? thanks again
