I’m sorry I’m not sure what exactly you are referring too.
I have just checked last night, and I’m not so certain the lid itself is 100% light proof. It’s extremely hard to tell. But it does appear that maybe a little light is making its way through the Res material itself. So not directly light, but basically if you were inside the Res, I have a feeling you would be able to see there was light outside of it. Lol if that makes sense
Cool thanx for the feedback 4th. I want to move away from rockwool.
I’m also already getting a brown ring around the Res water line again. Do you find this normal when plants are not rooted and developed well enough?
I’m Likely going to change our water before roots emerge, since I will be switching from GH to AquaFlakes in the 150L.

Are the upright PVC for framing or do they go through to the rootzone?
Granted, i'm skimming through the thread and they just replaced one of my knees last Thursday, so meds are still making thought processes a bit skewed.
TrolMaster App. Will be hooking everything up to this eventually.
Ok where to start...
Cloning methods... I have a hortipot aero 24 site machine and also use a coco pellet in a tray with Olivia's cloning gel. For both scenarios I use Clonex. As you know a lot of factors come into play... strain, plant health, temp, humidity, light, etc. I just finished testing coco vs aero. Same strain, same plant, same results lol! The coco pellets I'm talking about are like jiffy pellets. Water them with the Clonex solution. They blow up. Poke a hole through the top to the appropriate depth, cut and dip the clone, in it goes. Let the pellet partially dry and then saturate the thing with more Clonex solution. Repeat until roots explode out the sides. Now you get to make a decision to put the thing into coco or dirt. If I wasn't into flowering outside I'd go with coco for a lot of reasons. But dirt is the life for me lol! You already know about aero cloning.
Momma plant(s). Kills me to watch you buy clones. Man please get 1 pot any size, 1 more clone, decent promix, and I swear to God I will answer every question and guide you through how to do this. It's a perpetual organic clone machine. I can easily take 12 clones right now and make twice that next month in a 9 inch x 6 inch footprint that thrives under florous with a quart of stuff every other day. Nutes are measured by the fractional teaspoon. Cheeeeeap. :) And they last for years.

That's enough for now. But man hydro? You're biting off a lot. My mentor didn't let me touch hydro until after like 3 years in the dirt. Oh shut up. There wasn't an internet back then and the fucking encyclopedia didn't come with grow instructions. We had high times mag and Marc Emery. So when the owner of a hydro shop that gets published in high times and could pick up the phone get Emery in the line and order up the moon, kinda got my attention when he took my dumb ass endless questioning about peppers and tomatoes self under his wing? Yep in awe. His wife was one of the coolest hippie chicks besides my wife that I've ever met. Anyway, hope this gives you more to chew on. I'll let the water guys speak to today's techniques. The easiest hydro imo is a flood and drain bucket system. BSG and I are doing angrownthread together and he's got an kick ass system you should check out. 3rd grow ever and he's throwing out frost eye candy from under HPS/MH in parabolics lol!!!
Ah freaking technology!!! Sorry you're getting killed with all this stuff at one time. I have no answers. I'm sure someone will.
Dunno and I’m a tech dev lol!!! Bro straight up I used to be into the latest and greatest. This bonsai thing? Let’s you mess with the plants constantly, unlimited clones of your fav strains. And the best for me is variety. I can fit 15 pots comfortably under a 4x2 in veg. Outside they go for 12 hours a day for flowering when it’s time. Inside at night in a dark room. It’s simple. And... cheap. I grow normal sized plant to bulk up our daily supply and bonsai for the boutique variety. And a bale of pro mix lasts forever. Nutes go a lot farther. Blah blah blah.Yeah, try to make something simple and it becomes complex.
Why?!?
Here it is outside. This is what 14 strains looks like :) Bonsais are in front. Autos in the middle. Large photos in the back. I added 4 more bonsais this evening to flower. So tomorrow morning... 18 strains will be on the ground. Nuts huh?View attachment 1029401
That is crazy your right !!Here it is outside. This is what 14 strains looks like :) Bonsais are in front. Autos in the middle. Large photos in the back. I added 4 more bonsais this evening to flower. So tomorrow morning... 18 strains will be on the ground. Nuts huh?View attachment 1029401
They work themselves out. Check that bonsai out in my pic second from left. That thing has 3 shoots per node and had a really odd formation of a second growth shoot out of the shell. Cut the second one off and that perfect plant happened. Strange. Its an auto snowryder so its definitely not a part of any breeding I'm doing for sure. Grew it out for a throwback to old good times. Point is they do work it out themselves a lot of the time.Anyone have any idea as to what’s up with the twisted/deformed leaves ?

Yes I agree, they usually do work themselves out.
It just feels so odd that I am having this much trouble rooting these combined with the twisted growth.
I was thinking either PH is off at plant because of the rockwool?
Or maybe the light is still to intense? I have a PPFD meter arriving Tuesday.
I’ve 100% never had it taken a week to get roots starting to make their way out of the bottom of the net pot. It usually takes a week to really develop nice roots and the drop the water line slightly.
I’m really hoping these inverted netpots that essentially have the rockwool sitting 2-4” directly above the water line. Will allow the roots to really reach for the water quicker and get things going here.
