I might be putting these in with the new tent im ordering. gonna test out how well a 600w hps works on these potential monsters.
 
well im watercooling it so we will see what happens this is a complete tossup.
 
I have been working hydro for a bit guys..
If u need some help or anything please ask..
Nice setup Tshirt, I am doing almost the same right now, but everything DIY cuz if I wanna get those plastic trays for my room it'd cost me around 1-2k in just trays :P

Are you planning to transplant into hydroton ?
For recirculating nutes, I would advise you check out Canna Aqua. The composition and pH of that nute constantly changes over time in the rez to keep things stable and the plants supplied well...
 
nah im going to flood as needed to just rockwool for now. planning on placing 4" on top of 6" once my ladies sex. when i do my second flowering chamber i will be running a full sog with either slabs or cocomat.
 
why not just fill those plastic trays with hydroton and have those rockwool slabs in em ?
You dont really need to do much other than fill the empty space with hydroton pebbles (and raise the cubes a bit, obviously ):P
 
because i need to sex them and be able to move things around at will. hydroton is just another thing to deal with for me thats why im using large rockwool. im training to use rockwool only so when i switch over to photo i will have an easy time cloning large numbers at once and doing a total sog across the entire canopy.
 
Gotcha.
Cloning in rockwool is easy btw.
A+B to ec 0.6, 4ml/L rhizotonic, ph- bloom down to ph 5.5.
Keep that till you see roots, and then raise ec to 0.8, and when you start seeing new shoots 1.2...
Then normal growing..

Rhizotonic is a MUST.
I picked up my rockwool cubes yesterday and sprayed the roots (and the whole cubes) with 0.9 ec a+b and 5ml/L rhizo, and I swear, from morning till evening all the cubes had 2-3x more roots penetrating from below and fuzzy as hell. They look more like mushrooms than roots. The cubes where the roots were already exposed and got an aero-style treament are the ones that benefit the most.
 
i got a free bottle of general hydro rapid start and it is doing the trick nicely. as wierd as this sounds i dont want crazy growth right now till they start to sex so i can get them on top of larger cubes.
 
hey guys just a preview update that i have another 4x4 tent purchased today so be on the lookout for some new ladies in the coming weeks. I have more to put in rockwool today and planted around 15 yesterday in rockwool so its about to get crowded in these tents!!!!
