so, a lil off-topic but i just sterilized some Wild Bird Seed and Brown Rice Flower jars for some Texas spores i received a couple days ago. haven't grown any shrooms in over a year and i really really enjoy the trip, can't find em around here out in B.F.E. . we'll be injectin' those suckers and blastin' off in about a month and a half or less. WEEEHOOOOO!!!! can we post shroom pics on here or is that against the rules?

right on budd. yeah i've seen some nice grows with just fluorescents. actually this past month's high times i believe, guy had quite a nice full grow with fluorescents. of course he had over 10 T5 lights. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

ALSO, my plant buds are startin' to grow to together. little hairs on the colas are close enough to start touchin' now. sexy,sexy.

Careful, DHS is out there.

Don't worry though, they aren't eavesdropping, they're "freedom listening."

Jeez, man, ease up. Just making a joke. Good thread though! I like your setup, if I ever do a soil grow, I think I'll try your method.

well as i mentioned earlier Wolfman, the tub is drained of excess water about 1 1/2 hours after watering. the perlite holds the majority of the water but the pipes i water in are completely hollow down to the perlite and i have an oscillating fan that inadvertently blows across the tops of the tubes. we all know that perlite is good for holding water but it also leaves some nice opens space. for example, the most widely accepted way i know to start clones is in perlite so that the roots have plenty of moisture and room to grow. so i figure it makes sense to have a nice amount of perlite in the bottom.

I though perilite held air and vermiculite held water. Perilite is like air-puffed stone, vermiculite is a fiber.

What is Perlite?
 Perlite is a volcanic glass formed when lava cools very rapidly, trapping small quantities of water. When the glass is crushed and heated to about 2120 degrees Fahrenheit, the trapped water vaporizes and puffs out the softened granules to form a white mineral foam.
Expanded perlite is physically stable and chemically inert. The porous nature of the granules ensures a product that is light to handle, holds large quantities of readily available moisture, and has a very strong capillary attraction for water.
Since it is free draining, it is also extremely well aerated. Its neutral pH, negligible nutrient content, and freedom from pests, pathogens, and weed seeds combine to make it an excellent growing medium for hydroponic culture.

exactly... perlite is great with holding and distrubing oxygen
