Thank you. Since i have it all running smoothly now i mist my plants everyday now it removes any dust off the leaves and they love it. ill continue in veg room and in flower room when i start getting buds ill stop. I dont want any mold to form on my buds. i do know this the 2 plants i gave molasses too are my biggest 2 plants by far. so now they all getting some every week.

Damn man, those girls are nice and green, bushing up :) keep it up

Yes it does give that kind of boost. I hurt my plants (had some bad organic nutes) by the time i caught it it reverted them about 2 weeks. the only one not affected was the c99 and i like the sealed pots better. if you end up going AIS then talk to me. I have it figured out now. Ill use AIS in my closet and when i get a tent im gonna do EBB & flow hydro in the tent. The AIS has to be watered every day. small amounts. you goal is to keep the water right to the soil line just above the lava rocks. the soil is always moist to wet. you can over water with this system but its hard.
Sweet!!!

Thanks for the info. I was hoping for a few days between adding water as summer is coming and that means camping season!!!!! I will have to give it a go next winter when all there is to do is sit on my ass and clean house!!!

Omg i just jumped was watering my plants in flower room when something fly by my head. I seen it go behind the florescent light and i moved light and its a lady bug lmao. sweet dont have any idea how he got there but i know now if he stays there wont be any kind of bugs. i think he likes the smell of the molasses in the soil. ill see if he sticks around. i had 1 on my window seal and i didnt touch him. he must of woke up that means spring is real close. woot woot.

yeah it is ether a lady bug or Asian lady bug. the farmers around here use them for bug control. on soy bean/corn. Well my plants drank allot last night. i had to fill the base up on all the open bowl style ones. ill wait 20 min to water them. have to let the soil take in some water first. the system AIS is for those who have time to water ever day 2 times. i could never leave these plants longer than a day in this system. will have to change it to closed pot style they can make it 3 days if i fill them good. i will have to switch to ebb & flow go pure hydro down the road.

Lady bugs are a good sign!!! If I grow this summer I will be filling my room with them for Borg control. Now if there was a sure fire way to prevent PM during summer I would be a happy man!!

Do lady bugs eat fungus gnats??? Hmmmmmmm.....

They eat all bug larva and babies. they dont borrow down into soil so the bugs or larva has to be close to surface.

I like this setup. i could do this in my closet. but each area would be 2'x2' instead of his 16 plants mine would be 9 plants. i can make 4 ebb and flow setups. that's an ideal. but first let me get this test grow done. Then ill buy lights that i want. If i get my veg room up and going with 3 mothers i can do 4 plants in a 2x2 to start but by week 4 they would fill the other half of room. so i would need a tent like a 32"x32" with 600 watt hps with hortilux bulb. or duel 400 watt cmh. then i could get 4 plants every 2 week or so. the c99 is perfect for this setup. also i see some sweet auto fem's that finish in 60 day. man my mind gets going thanks jointed hehe.
