    Please by all means pour out any info you like, if I happen to know it, it would only reinforce my knowledge. I thank you and anyone taking the time to help me.

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    The driving thought behind designing it this way, besides the parts being all I had, was that I read it was most important for the root growth in the hydroton that there be a 100% humidity zone in the hydroton. That it was not so important for the pot to be touching the water. So my thought was...

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    Thanks, I hope it works. Just a little low on cash right now so I modded what I had. I was thinking of using it more like an aero/nft thing with a nice area for roots to hang before I put the baskets into the UC. I am thinking now after yours and guyonthecouches concerns that maybe filled with...

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    Hey to anyone still checking this thread out. I am still attempting a clean start. From the 15 Clones I had, I took about 40 cuttings, and popped em in a EZ-Cloner. It's been about 6 days, and just some of the cutting stems have bumps. So that's another area I need to speed things up. They are...

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    Ok well I happen to freak out a bit and put em in Soil. I am going to try and start ALL over, using what everyone is teaching. So I'll take clones of my soil plants. I have an aerocloner, but I have never had too much success with it. I have never tried using it with the chiller I now have...

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    I see it does work great for ya, so I am going to try do just what you do . I think I am going to just put things in FFOF and containers as that wont be too expensive. I'll try to master the hydro veg method on the side in the mean time, and maybe next run I can do things correctly from the start.

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    That does sound like a possible problem to me too, I've read tonight about top dripping first. How'd I miss that? I am thinking of getting some fox farm ocean forest, some airy fillers, popping these plants into pots and just doing this round soil containers. I'll move the veg area to a side...

    Struggling with UC Pre-veg, help appreciated

    Hey farmers! I am in a bit of distress, as I got really excited, built a UC system, and jumped in head first to a method I am unfamiliar with. I am not getting the sort of results that some others show, so I am hoping I could get some guidance! The UC system isn't the problem, yet, as I...

    How To Properly Root And Veg In The Uc

    Thanks so much for your help and the link. They are in about 10 gallons of water. If I read correctly, I should add 1 TBSP of rooting powder with .1% IBA, like rootone or bontone?

    How To Properly Root And Veg In The Uc

    I want to be able to do this very much, 30 days cutting to flower. I've gotten the TDS way down, so hopefully they'll respond well to that. In what form or product should I look for the IBA? Thanks again for any help

    How To Properly Root And Veg In The Uc

    I should work on obtaining some fluoros then? I think IBA is the salts, right? Have a favorite source? (edit I really have no idea what IBA is) I was only curious about the cal/mag so I can fully understand, but I can definitely take your word for it, you've shown really great success. I am...

    Hey DS thanks for takin a look. I will swap in some fresh water to get the TDS down. Just curious why no need for cal mag or co2? Can I move the light further if I don't have fluoros?

    How To Properly Root And Veg In The Uc

    Amazingly helpful info desertsquirrel! I didn't have an aeroflo, so I made use of what I had and tried Ham's dwc tray. My roots, after 8 days, are no where to be seen outside the pots yet, and am wondering if this is normal. Here's what's been done. I bought these clones from a club, actually...
