I'd do the clones separate, or do a SOG.I'm a new hydro grower.I will be starting soon. say i only get 3 females out of a 6 seed planter. I take the 3 males out. now i have 3 empty planters .
and that leaves plenty of room to grow 3 big plants.
if i put clones in the empty planters they wont be as big as my females. what do i do? or what should i have done?
So you said you top after weeks 2, 3, and 4. Is there a corresponding nodeing like 4,6,8? or 4,5,6?
Yep, all growers debate that one. The MFG or Instructional CD says after the roots hit deep water, put the pump on a timer, 3 minutes an hour of pumping. That is OK.Hi Roseman
Wow, massive thanks for all your hard work, I hope to get "bubbling" in the New Year and ill pretty much have this as my bible...CHEERS!
Will be building a bubbleponic system from scratch, i have a question about tank h20 levels. SH tank is 8 gallons, water level should be six, that would mean water level = 75% of tank capacity. Im not in the US so we have litres, and on the 6/8 gallon ratio, if I have a 45 litre tank (approx 12 gallons), my water level should be about 33 litres (approx 8 gallons), does that sound reasonable?
Actually, you don't go by 75%, or number of gallons. You go by leaving a two inch air pocket between the bottom of the cups and the top of the water line.
Last question, opinion seems divided about the water tubes once you have a good root mass in the water, some say you can remove them, others say put it on a timer so its only pumping say 10 x 5mins per day, some say leave it going 24/7...what do you say?
Im really sorry if this aint the place or its been answered before...
Good luck & thanks again mate, you da man!
Hi Roseman

Good luck & thanks again mate, you da man!
Thanks! your the best ,but with only 3 plants in in a 6 planter, Can i still get as much buds?
and dont wanna sound like an idiot but what is an sob?
I really welcome and invite questions on what I have discussed so far.
Your question was about something I just covered and invited questuions about.
It is the questions about subjects not in the Tutorial that bother me. I am getting questions already answered here too.
I am trying to be as helpful as I can be.
Thanks for the reply RM, thats answered my questions perfectly...seems its your call about the pump issue, if youve got a massive root mass in the bubbling h20 its obviously gonna get enough water, on the other hand a flow of water into the netpot isnt gonna do any harm, hmmmm i plan to scrog 2 plants maybe ill have one with tube and one without and see if theres a noticeable difference...
yeah im a relative newbie, everyday i give myself a question to answer and i really try to exhaust all possibilities before i ask here cos im sure you guys get sick of answering the same questions!
Cheers again, you deserve a medal for all your hard work!
Rose, that a great idea, didnt eventhink of somting like that, can i make that at a smaller scale. Like a 1 gallon bucket and use a 4-5 inch fan and get the same results? Later
Roseman, how much root mass do you have in the water before turning off the pumps (intermittently)
