1. Ok, well all of the pics I've seen show this main cola growing on 12/12 and it has all of the lower limbs cut off at the main stalk. So just the top foliage is there. I know from experience (what little I have with growing) that it will grow new bud sites/leaves at those cut off stemps...

wow, yes, that is amazing!! Let us know the weight when it is dry! I am doing DWC too and want to try this main cola technique. What did you do as far as pruning? I guess if from a clone then it was just a stem with some top leafs, right? And then did you prun it at all? Did you cut the...

Anyone using Gooseneck lamps to grow your crop?? Basically a Gooseneck cord lets you bend/flex the light to be in any location/direction. It offers the utmost in versatility and after using a power strip and Y adapters for a while now, I realize a gooseneck setup would be far superior and more...

I have two very high-level questions here: 1. I'm thinking of a simple 4-plant single res setup, and I read somewhere here that you can do MAIN COLA only grow. As I understand this, the side branches/stems are all cut off after a few weeks old and it flowers just one giant cola on the main...

Naw, I'm going to get both the air bubbler pump and the water pump for initial feeding. Might as well, right? :)

I think for a single shallow tub like this I can use a 5 gal bucket and a hose pump for my weekly draining. That way I won't have to lift the lid, suspend it temporarily, worry about roots dripping all over the f'in place, etc... I just hope a siphon would work. There might be a lot of salt and...

Yeah, I fear I will go through nutes too. Like I expect I might have to change the water weekly, depending on pH. If that is the case, I worry about wasting nutes. Then again, I read on another thread that someone was recycling their nute-water (which had bad pH after a week of use) and...

I've got a super stealth grow box and I want to maximize greenspace and minimize hydrospace. So I'm thinking about using this: http://www.lionsdeal.com/wi-pl-7k.html It is only 7" deep, but I only plan to have 4 plants. If you read Roseman's guidance, it is 6 plants and 6 gallons. So...

Good point on "running water is cooler water". I hadn't thought about that. That surely will help also with my temps. Ok, f it. I'll get the water pump. I want to do it right the first time, right? And I'm already spending $100 why not make it $115. :) Now to get the wife's buy-in.. She...

I'm still not sold on the water pump. My room will likely already be warm (82') and warmer when the lights are on. I don't need a side-effect of my pump to warm my res water. :) I also work from home and obsess about this stuff 16/8 so I would be there and able to add nutes 3x a day for 3...

Wow, hey Roseman, yes I've been reading all the threads and posts and DIY setups, most of it ultimately from YOU of course. :) I'm just trying to think about whether I need a real water pump or not. Can't I just keep the water level high enough to touch the bottom of the net cups for the 1st...

I'm new to Hydro but I get the idea of it. I get Aeroponics - basically misting the roots and letting them fall into water after they are like 4-5" long or so. I get the bubblers and oygenation of the roots. I also get the drip system which gets oxygenated water to the INNER root zone...

I buy everything online but I won't buy hydroponic equipment online. I just don't trust those vendors or big brother. :) There is a hydro shop here in town, actually I think there's a bunch of them. I guess I will have to mosey in and see what all I can find. I was hoping I could find some of...

I'm planning to try this bubbleponics now that I've seen all the journals and "rave reviews".. :) I think most of this stuff I can get from my local (fish) pet store: * Air Pump for aquarium * Air pump tubing * CFL light setup (~6 per plant ideally) But what about these? * 3-3.5...

Yeah I was kind of thinking this too. This is my first gro, btw. And I already did some sampling and left some leaves to dry in a sealed container. In like 3 days they were moldy. Oops. Plastic container was also discarded. :) Haven't sampled in a few days though - and won't for another 1...

Yeah, I should clarify, I'm hanging the stalks/stems with the buds still on them upside down in my grow box, just basically turning off the light and adding one more fan (the febreeze trueair which is just a fan + carbon filter). That is essentially it and it will be left like that unattended...

Hey folks, I have to go out of town soon and I'm about to harvest. The timing is kind of perfect in that I can harvest the day before I leave, but I can't really tend to it while I'm gone. So I'm trying to setup a mostly automated harvest box for whilst I'm gone. I'm thinking I need at...

Actually, Defcon9, I did exactly what you said - this was a few weeks back when I had an epiphany about all this. My new 12/12 schedule is on at 5pm, off at 5am. It's less noticeable and produces less noticeable heat and also the lights being on during the cooler time helps keep the overall...

Yes, I'm shooting for 10% amber trichs. That is 1 in 10. Right now, like I said it's maybe 2 in 100 if that. I think with the heat and also we had 2 multi-hour power outages recently so my schedule got all screwed up too. So it is probably just daughtling and not finishing on time like...

Ok down to 4 x CFL now. Did some re-arranging so they all still get light. Should have thought of this sooner!! :spew:
