well I only clean my resevoirs between grows.. I usually change the water every 2 weeks= ) although I have let it go up to a month with no problems. Just check the ph and ppm every day or 2. You do have to have a pump to change the water though.

yeah I just toss the black plastic out and replace it every grow, its like 15 bucks a roll= )
as for messy.. its not messy at all

as for me, I dont veg my plants as all, as soon as they are rooted, and a bit aclimated, I put them to flowering= ) works well with the strains im growing

you would have a little easier time moving plants if you went with the net pots(with the bottoms cut off) & the neopene.. just dont let the root mass get to big, cause you dont want to damage it, when moving from one thing to another thing...


76 is a little high, maybe set the bucket your using in another bucket that has ice in it = )

peace n luv...
glad to hear the roots are all white..

Avoid using H2o2 if at all possible.

A cool rez is the best way to avoid the need for H2o2.

then dr dankenstein sayd
I agree with not having to use H2o2 if your water/rez temps are below 68 because at those temps and below pathogens and fungi can't thrive and also the colder the temp the more oxygen water can hold.

I wouldnt steer u in the wrong direction = )

post some pics of ur babies= )

love u

Heres some new pics. The veg container has changed a lot . It has all complete new growth like little rat tails lol.

Veg is 6.5, at 74 degrees and 1120 ppm

clones are 6.74, at 74 degrees and 808 ppm.

I am lowering both ph's

and the last pic is one of my alpha's on the 7th day of the 4th week of flowering.

All comments and advise felt to give is appreciated. Rep +

looks nice man... if you have 450 bucks to spend.. you could get a fan and charcoal air cleaner combo from htgarden suppy for 200, and hidhut, has a cooltube 400 hps and mh for 249.oo with digi ballast.... if thats not an option maybe more cfls = ) as many as possible...
although once you use HID you wont want to go back..
also on the water level.. I like it a bit higher, about half an inch from the bottom of the net pot... Since your using rockwool its a good idea to flush out the pot(the rockwool and the medium) with PH water.

sorry im sooo high as im typing this..
so on your next res change.. pour some 5.5 ph water GENTLY over the net pots so it drains into the res, then drain the res, and fill with nutes as usual.

once you get to the stage you dont have any growing medium, you wont have to flush the pot.

peace n luv...

Thanks. Yea i have 4 400's on order comin to me right now. Two mh n two hps. N im gunna move my veggies to buckets. 5 gal greys from lowes. Much more room for them n easier to move.

Im plannin on movin them this weekend. So ill do a res change then. And o i am usin rockwool on my other grow. My first one. The one thats in flower right now. Im just usin neoprene n 2" net pots on my dwc. N i must mention. Ill let yall no what i yeild but i can tell you i bet ill get the same or more with less plants when i flower my buckets soon enough.

I would like to get a charcoal filter with fan . But the smell isnt too much of an issue right now.

My lights i ordered ill be runnin on 240. All the lights will draw together about as much as i am with my 1000 right now on 120... Way better!

I bought some hi bay 400 watts. Cheap and will work great for me. The other grow lights are just way expensive so maybe some day but i got what i need now. Yall see pics sometime.
