More lights to existing trees or add more trees?
I think more lights to existing Trees
More lights to existing trees or add more trees?
We would love to add lights and do the doubble stacking, we're just limited by heat. Our AC is only rated for 15 1k's plus CO2. I have the choice of adding 2 lights to the corners or adding 3 lights and 3 more plants that will only have lights on 2 sides but maybe push our luck with a couple 600's. What do you guys think? More lights to existing trees or add more trees?
Sorry about the lack of updates, plants are not doing so well as some have suggested might happen although for different reasons we think. Seems they were overwatered due to saturation of the bottom of the coco root ball, so we drained, now deficiencies are showing because we drained the water. We now are treating it like a flood and drain until the roots poke down. We'll post pics for some insight from everybody later.
Hello doubled! I hope you are havinig a fine day. Thanks for the new posts. I guess I'm a little unclear what you mean by planting a dripper right 'in each cube.' Does this imply that you plant a dripper on the top of each cube, right at the base of each stem, and then cover this with a short layer of hydroton? I just read one of your early December posts that also refered to using the drip tubes with no dripper on it at all. I have used drippers before in a soil/soiless situation, but am also a little unclear on the gph you guys are typically using. Guess I was planning on 1-2 gph and then working up from there... Thanks again and I hope all of your endeavors continue to go well!!Use rockwool bro, as long as the cubes arent sitting directly in water they cannot over saturate. When i transplant i put a dripper in each cube for the first 2-3 weeks running 24/7 with no problem, actually it works way better than putting the drippers bside the cube.
hope this helps

correct, i use 2 drippers (not sure gph) but i put one directly into the top of the cube (do not cover in hydroton,cant. 4 inches of cube sits above the net pot)

We just started that yesterday and it seems to be working. Using a 1800 GPH danner.
