yeah it was from a hydro shop guy. I even told him that i WAS using rockwool cubes with hydroton. Thanks for all the input guys, i probably would have given it ago if not for all the replys.

thats what i thought. cheers

the guy at my local hydro store reckons instead of flooding a table which you would 3 times a day for 15 min, do it 10 times a day for 2 minutes. Says it speed up the metabolism. Anyone done this or reckons it works?

i to would be interested in the answer to this fan question. I've got 7 seedlings in rockwool that are about 1-2" tall, i didn't even think about when i was gonna chuck a fan on em

thanks for the reply. Thats something i didn't consider, having the bigger res would lead to a more stable ph. Cheers!

I was wondering, what advantages does a flood and drain setup have over a DWC? I got all the setup for a smallish flood and drain table with the res and everything, but am now thinking of putting it in a cupboard/wardrobe, and was thinking DWC would be a better space saver. Then i got...

cheers, thanks for the help guys. I thought these big fuckers look better than getting heaps of weaker ones, i couldn't be bothered doing all the wiring n shit for y adapters and all that.

i know the cfl in the link i posted is quite expensive, I can't find anywhere good to buy these or t5's in australia

my description is a bit shonky i know. I'm talking about these cfl's GROWLUSH HYDROPONIC 100W ENERGY SAVER LAMP 2700K +BONUS - eBay Other Hydroponics, Hydroponics, Gardening, Lawn Care, Home. (end time 25-Aug-08 14:09:49 AEST) has anyone used them, any better or worse then standard cfl's? Are...

also, does anyone have an opinion as to whether you think it would be sufficient just to cover th plants with something in order to simulate night? Or should i remove them from the system for 12 hours?

thats what i'm saying. I would be taking a clone from each plant and keeping them in the vegetative grow nutes, but putting them in darkness for 12 hours a day (by covering them or removing them) to sex them, so i know which mother(s) to keep. Without having to set up another table for flowering

I am wondering if it is possible to flower plants while still using veg nutes in order to see there sex. Sounds dumb i know but hear me out. I was just thinking if i started a bunch of seeds, then put them into my flood table and started to grow them, then once they are big enuf, takes some...

thanks guys. i get the point. dont bother

thanks for the quick replys guys. I guess i may not use this idea as it seems most people don't think it will benefit the plants. I just thought i would give it a go as I knew CO2 is very important for growth, and am able to construct this 'sytem' for less than $15, plus it is very straight...

Hi guys, newbie grower here setting up my first grow. Planning on doing a scrog. I have been reading about making bottles of CO2 with yeast/sugar. I was thinking of making a system which would consists of tubing, (which has had holes poked in it to allow the CO2 to fall on the plants), put...

Thanks for all the help guys and taking the time to help-a-brother out. That's very interesting earl, all that you say about nutrient absorption, storage, and deficiency- I am half way through a dietetics/food science degree and it seems plants don't differ to much from humans. It makes sense...

Hi just wondering, being a new grower and having read everything i can - I am still unsure about this. I know it is a good idea to start with 1/2 or 1/4 strength nutes, but, does this apply to both vegging and flower stage? so i would gradually up the strength of veg nutes from say 1/4 to...

sorry #1 accordfamily, but what is ftw?
