I wonder if I should flush? Now I noticed 3 plants starting to droop and get a slight yellow tint on the bigger leafs. And how should I flush them?
I was going about it all wrong!! I was using r/o water. So now I have tap water going. My ppm was at 250 out of the tap. And my ph was at 5. After added my nutes. I hope I didn't cause damage to my herbs.
So what shoud my humidity be at. I'm doing all this in a 4x4 tent, 600 air cooled.
keep it low to start with... most would say flood times and durations depend on plant size. but i think farmer jon should explain to the newbs how screening improves yields.
I use coco too!! I like the root protection and less prone to algae on bottom of tray. If I don't use coco, I fill my table w/ approx. 3" thick layer of hydroton. I like how hydroton dries out on top and you can water less, cuz down below hydroton is holding plenty of nutes at all times for the ladies. You don't "dry out" your medium. Hydroponics man! Make sure to aerate the rez too!! Welcome Farmer!!
Good Luck
I have some roots sticking out of the bottom of my 6 inch pots..is it still ok to cover the bottom of the tray with hydroton and set the pots on top??
Please Farmer John!!!!!! explain screening!
Thanx sticky! All your info has been so helpfull!!!!
So do u have any info for me about me wanting to use R/O water? My Rez gets full of crap that comes out of my tap water.

Dude forget the coco matts and just stack your cubes on top of one another. Matts are not a clean set up, imo,

I found using inoculants and microbials not only gives my roots steroids, it also keeps the rez super clean. I can go min. 2-wks. between rez. changes. Many other benefits from using bennies (haha). I use Earth Nectar/Earth Ambrosia
I use the ambrosia for foliar spray too.
Use R/O if any doubt!!
Thanx sticky! I have started with the RO water and I haven't had crap all over my Rez.
So this past Sunday was my 2 week of veg and I have seen only like 2-3 inches of growth. Am I on track? I did notice that some roots where coming out of my 6 inch cubes. So how long or big do I let my girls get before I can top them? I want to maximize my yeald for the small space I have. I only have 9 plants total in a 4x4 tent. And by the way this is my first grow ever so I'm totally lost here;). Any help will be apriciated.
you need either another block or hydroton to lift the plants up a little. you only want the roots 25% up the cube to get wet now! by doing this the roots will now start to grow large because their growing downward looking for water/nutes!
Lets see some pics bro, thats the best way to help you!
Once there 6" tall I top them, just pinch of the very top flower going out and walllaa.......4-5 new tops!
KUSH
So here is my simple set up. I have 7 GDP and 3 OG Kush. the two in the back turned a little yellow cuz i had the lamp too close. after i backed it off they started to get the green color back. they are in 6 inch rockwool and i was planing on placing them over some hydroton, and also placing hydroton all around them.? what do you recomend i do with this set up i have? im also under a 600 hps.

so can i just peel half of the plastic from the bottom half of my rockwool and place some hydroton under the cube and then place hydroton all around the cube? or do i need to get some baskets and place the cube into it? im hoping i can get a good yeald so what ever i need to do i will.....
