Awesome. It's basically like waterfarms with the top drip, I guess no dwc down below though. But this will work awesome, can't wait to see it in action.
If ur not using a carbon filter go for something a little more low power. 440 cfm for a cabinet 2 plant grow is a bit overkill. 200cfm or less would probably be more appropriate.
After the roots make their way out of the lil cubes and down into your main medium there should be no need to keep the cube wet. After that initial week I just stop top watering and my root riots dry up. How deep is your medium/how high does your tray flood?
Correct, the first 2 pairs of true...
Start them in a plug, like the 1.5 x1.5" rockwool cubes and then surround it with the mix after it's well rooted. I clone (and start my seeds) in root riots which are compost bark. Once they root well (usually ~2 weeks from cut) I transplant them into the pots with the hydroton/rw mix. I top...
Good to hear. Can't wait til my AO gets here but I think my curiosity is leaning more towards the new Tga strain...timewreck. Vortex is one of my favs, tho I've never grown her.
RH isn't really a factor in root rot. Root zone temps are. So there's basically 2 ways to address the problem. A) leave the chlorine in there and go for a sterile rez. You can actually buy chloramine which won't evaporte and a lot of commercial grows actually add it as a pathogenic preventive...
In hydro u want to water as much as possible without o2 starving your roots. Different mediums can take different max waterings. But basically as the plant consumes from the medium the medium EC and Ph change. So more watering helps stabilize the root zone to the rez settings. but with rockwool...
G13 Labs strains are legit. I am not too pleased with my Nirvana PPP too. Maybe just a bad pheno, but it loses leaves, smells odd, and in general is just my least favorite.
1 oz a stick is pretty strong...so 2 a stick seems like it would be close to the max. I don't know that anyone really knows what the saturation point is though.
