welcome to the hydro section bud ...sorry I missed your grow but looks like your off to a great start with 100 % germination :kusht:

If you need help assembling the system then we will need some pics to see whats up !. Do you have instructions or a website you can check ?. maybe call the seller or manufacturer ?

I wouldn't advise using perlite with nutes .... better to just put a small layer of pebbles 1st ,then the cubes & fill around them with more pebbles .BUT remember to give them= hydrotron / clay pebbles a really good clean & rinse ...then soak in PH -5.8 Water for a few hours so they dont send your PH out later on ,good luck & ask if you need any help brotha :Sharing One:

Hey man I made the drive today to hydro store and got some more clay pebbles.$1.50/lb so I got 10 lbs. filled up all pots with clay pebbles then put rockwool cube In pots and then covered with pebbles. I dint put any pebbles in the drain table... I have enough left that I could tho if need be. I washed with super hot water and then soaked in 5.7 ph water.flooded once already, I hadn't watered the cubes lately do they were ready . I don't have em on timer yet cuz I wanted to see how long to wait before flooding again. They are so itty bitty I don't wanna drown them.

Here's how I got em setup I flooded it once last night around 10 pm then again when I woke up today at 1pm. I don't have them on automatic schedule because I'm worried about them drowning. I'd father slowly introduce more floods once they get a bit bigger. Thoughts?

Ok so I flooded my plants twice today...my 2nd About 8 hrs after 1st one. I just happened to check the ph while the table was flooding I checked it rite before the water hit the bottom of the plants and good thing because ph had crept all the way up to 7. From 5.7. After so e tinkering I manged to get it back down to 5 and I left it there because I figured it might creep back up. To be honest I'm thinking ab abandoning the flood and drain and just putting them in their containers out back in the shed.

Went to another hydro shop today. Very very over priced lol they wanted 50 bucks for 2 sets of the rope clips that u hang lights with lol.. I tried to find a general hydroponics version of overdrive and voodoo juice. And I was unsuccessful. He tried to sell em a 48$ bag of microbes in place of the voodoo juice. To his credit He did go to the advanced nutrients website and see what was in the voodoo juice and the overdrive. And try to find the closet thing to it. I did buy GH floraduo as a substitute for overdrive. It's part b and It is 1-5-4.

I couldn't believe how inflated the hydro shops prices are holllly shit. It's funny too because this I have both of the systems that they have for sale in their shop (Emily's garden and megagarden) and before I seen the 2 systems I was trying to describe to my Emily's garden and he was like oh Man U never let u roots sit in water blah blah idk wat kids system you have but it's not a. Goodone then I seen the exact system I have in a box on the floor and I was like its that one right there. He says ya the roots sit in the water in that system. DUH!!!

Sounds like dude dont have a clue eh oxy?. Your setup is looking pretty damn good, Did you get the ph figured out? I was reading in some article that you should run your systems for a day or two then check the ph again cause it will rise on you then plant. Could be wrong though, I am trying to learn as much to this hydro stuff as I can before I set up a DWC/Mister system. I also am going to go with the TLO style of growing. That looks like it produces some dank bud also. Good luck man Im still following along and will chime in once in a while. K.I.M.

Yea man the PH is always creeeping back up. After the f rist time i flooded my ph went from a 5.6 to 7. i put in all the way back down to 5 and the next day its back up to 6.3. I flooded them once today and am going to go do it again here shortly after my daughter wakes up. Bet the ph is back up to 7ish lol.
