Just a heads up, if you veg too long it's also kind of hard to get those roots separated too. (males from females) Good Luck.

Have you added drainage to your resevior? I was wondering how you would handle the water change in that system. Please let me know your process.
BTW that cat grass is going crazy!

lol i can't believe i haven't seen this thread before today, kate you NEED a ppm meter, i got one on ebay for like 12$, it came from Asia... took like 3 weeks to get here but it works fine. you will end up burning your young plants if you don't. as for syphoning the water out, it's gonna be tough unless your tub is a foot or so off the ground, you should get a small cheep water pump and some tubing and that will make it way easier. but the grow is looking great so far, GL i'll be watching

I wonder how important draining is. If you have a meter and keep track of how much nutes there is. I have a friend that has a system like Katies and he grows awesome buds and he never flushes until 2 weeks before harvest, but I have read some posts where folks flush like every 2 weeks.???

its acutally like a foot and a half off the ground. its on top of a crate because the way the light is set up i couldnt move it closer, so i had to move the tub closer to the light..lol i can't believe i haven't seen this thread before today, kate you NEED a ppm meter, i got one on ebay for like 12$, it came from Asia... took like 3 weeks to get here but it works fine. you will end up burning your young plants if you don't. as for syphoning the water out, it's gonna be tough unless your tub is a foot or so off the ground, you should get a small cheep water pump and some tubing and that will make it way easier. but the grow is looking great so far, GL i'll be watching

well it's not quite $12 but...Sunleaves TDS Essential Digital Pen from 4 hydroponics.com by Growco Indoor Garden Supply. btw that's a good place to get general hydro supplies.
there's also one on ebay:Digital Continual TDS Meter Tester Monitor Aquarium NEW - (eBay item 120169575179 end time Oct-09-07 17:00:00 PDT)
it's got like a day left on the auction.
If you ever need equipment, check out aquarium stores. oddly enough salt water aquariums and hydroponics share a lot of the same equipment.

no...he just keeps track of the ppm and ph and does not flush until 2 weeks before harvest. his last grow the colas were so big he had to tie them up so they would not fall over.
