Big rob....what did you use to alleviate the gnat problem in the coco? Gnats love coco, just wondering what was successful. And the CoCo grow is looking GOOD. I will be trying a 50% perlite/50% coco as soon as I can figure out an auto watering sysytem. Timed drip maybe?

Yep...We burn 2ea- 600W HPS with 400W of quad band LED's and produce very good meds. It has not been proven that you could produce good quality meds with LED's alone. There is another thread here on a 780W led grow that is very interesting to follow. Thanks for relating your results.

Looking good. Are the granules on top mosquito bits for control of gnats?

To grow in DWC you really need a PPM/EC/PH meter. At a minimum a Ph meter and go light on the nutes to be safe. As the plant takes up nutes the PPM and at times the Ph will change; you need to be aware of where your at "at". Only the meter will tell you. You do not want the plant to be...

Roseman - How do you keep the roots from being sucked up by the water pump? The roots will naturely gravitate to the pump intake. How are you keeping the roots away? Do you trim the roots? Thanks
