hello peeps newbie here!

hey guys im doing my first grow in a 4'x5' room with a 600 watt hps bulb..... I already have plants that are in there budding stages and I have a dumb question. is it ok to have a a little less then a quarter inch of water in the cather dishes? or will that rot my roots?

I would elevate the pot from the catcher plate to ensure that the medium isn't in the water.

When you finish watering the dishes can have standing water in 'em, but the soil can suck some of it right back up if given a little time. Go surf the web for about a half hour or hour and then go back in and dump out anything that hasn't been absorbed by then. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

cool thanks for the replies!

Club 600W thread comes to mind since its all about 600 watt HPS growers, and its only got 175 pages of posts so im sure your find some info in them pages.

great for similar growing diarys for back to back 600w grow diarys comparisons.
