Hi Lucius,

Are you using an Ebb and Flow system? If so and you have an older version then you just need to make sure there are no holes in the tubing to prevent the system from syphoning the water from the reservior to the controller pump and the controller pump pumping the excess water back to the reservior. I see this as a problem because it fluctuates my PH too much. I actually didn't want this to happen so I poked a hole in the black tubing right before it leaves the res that goes to the controller pumped. (Thanks to BadAndy's advice)

Hey, newb here. I'm new to hydroponics so try not to be too critical of me :D Long story short, I'm just curious about when to transplant my girl into the hydro system. Right now she's just sprouted through a peat puck. My hydro set up is a 5 gallon bucket with a feed pump and air stone. The pump exhaust into a smaller suspended container which houses hydroton pellets.

When is it ok to put my lady in her new home? Do I wait a couple weeks or until shes a certain size? Have I messed up already? Any help is appreciated!

I've got a question. I'm using hydro to grow White Widow right now, and I was wondering: growing from seed, what do you *start* your seed in before going to the hydro system?

hey,
I'm using a home made flood table, the plants hang in 6 in net pots in 1 in rockwool cube surrounded by hydroton (only in the pots no media in the table). I've been thinking that it might be better for me to put my plants in 2 or 3 gallon smartpots or nursery pots to have a larger volume of hydroton around the roots. just having the roots growing out into the table im having a hard time getting the watering times down. is it better to use larger pots in a flood table rather than just letting the roots grow out on the table under the lid (its light proof)?

Hey LV, funny finding you here. I find 80 is great for veg, but cooler days and even cooler nights help budding and trich production. Have you dropped in on my journal? (Everyone is invited)

I have 2 super simple DIY hydro systems plus a hpa system all going on at the same time. 2 are under my T5, the other basking under a combo of UFO 90 + 2 CFLs + 2 reptile bulbs for uv and deep reds. Since switching to Hydroponic-research Veg + BLOOM the buds and trichs are rockin
