Also im doing 2 plants per res im gonna go get a 25-30 gallon one tomorrow. Do that sound like a good idea? Also the bigger the res means the more nutrients you have to use correct?
What do you mean by soups will last longer? Also when the plants get bigger and start drinking more when I add water back in res do i have to add more nutrients or wait untill I change the res water?
Thanks for the info real useful. Also by last longer how much longer we talking? I normally change my res water every 7days.
Your brothers friend is spot on, water level very close to the net pot but not quite touching this will force the plant to seek water rather than sitting in it already.
Well I don't know for sure but I can safely say a 27 gal tote for 2 plants with normal add backs and you can rest assured your water changes can be at least every 14 days. I run 40 gal in my ebb and grow for 6 plants 4 weeks with add backs and it works fine.
Well with a good amount of bubbles they will be fine, when the bubbles pop they splash water up onto the lower layer of clay rocks then the water is wicked up a little further so it's just moist enough to keep the roots from drying out. What size net pots are they? Also the longer you let the plant root into the 1" cube the quicker they will take off in the system I like a decent amount of root in the cube before planting in DWC.
My net pots are 6 inches. Do you soak your rockwool overnight first with pH perfect water? Also do you let your seedling rockwool sit out and just keep wetting it or do you keep it in a doom?
Thanks man for Alot of help... One last question what do you pre soak your rockwool in? Like say I pre soak my rockwool to a ph water of 6.5 in a bowl since the bowl is a small space wont the ph rise very quickly and screw things up?
yup exactly what i do, i use a tote fill with ph 5 water put cubes in. in about 15 min the ph will rise quite a bit dump water put new ph 5.5 water and soak for another 15 min ph should be good at that point.
I was told you had to pre soak for 24hrs.
