Hi all. We're using an NFT Hyrdoponic setup for a cupboard grow, based around a 35 litre Turbo Tank (www.turbotank.com.au). The plants are a couple of weeks away from flowering, and the root mat is looking thick with healthy roots, however a few roots are growing down through the drainage slot and into the reservoir. Will this pose a problem? It doesn't seem to be threatening to block the drain and they aren't threatening the pump of heater either. But should I trim these back anyway? If I do, is it likely to harm the plants? Thanks in advance.

Basically I am wanting to grow out a large number of seeds in an efficient as possible method to achieve the best results. I need to easily remove the plants and root systems when I find out which ones are male also. So I was thinking of using the NFT system I have with 3.5cm rockwool cubes. I have 6x 100mm NFT gutters, of which Ill probably use 4x 1.2m lengths. Would it be ok to just sit the 3.5cm rockwool cubes in the gutter and let them veg like that? Im thinking it should be ok... I dont want to use netpots if possible, and I have a 380l/ph pump for the whole setup and a 94L reservoir which Ill half fill to 50L's of nutrient solution. My plan is to use 4x 1.2m Gutters…

i planted a few seeds around a week ago in rockwool and had some problems due to the seeds getting planted too deeply and had to dig some up really carefully to get them to survive :thumbdown anyways a long story short, while digging up one of the sprouts, i noticed a second set of roots and thought to myself wtf? upon closer inspection, it was literally another plant, just a complete runt that was all white due to not having any light i ended up ditching the runt in favour of the larger plant, but it still leaves a few questions in my mind about how in the hell a second plant grew from the one seed has anyone experienced anything like this or know what caused …

Hey cool thread eikel I tried water rooting and found it worked like yourself. But now I think this is the best way. They don't come lazier than me but even I managed to knock this up... I got an ice cream container, punched about a dozen holes in the lid with the end of a (geometry) compass. I wiggled it around to open holes enough to allow stem with small root nodes to slip back out. Then I made another hole just large enough to fit the airline from an aquariun pump through in the corner. I slipped the airline through and then attached the airstone. Now it takes longer to write this up than make it. And it works like a motherfucker. The clones just rest on their l…

does this work??? "Interrupted flowering Also known as ``buddus interruptus'', the procedure is to switch the lights to 24/0 for a day or two about at the end of the fifth week of flowering, when the buds seem to stall out. It should only be done once during the crop, and for no more than two days. The best technique is to switch for one day, wait a couple of days to observe the effect, and then give it one more day if the buds haven't responded. This is not the same as ``double budding'', as the plant is never actually kicked into vegetative growth. If the plants react well, you will see tufts of additional flowering parts standing out from the sides of the buds li…

NFT System

Just realised I have a shitload of 100mm NFT guttering out the back. Its the proper white stuff... I jacked it from my old work, they were chucking it out the back and I just remembered I had it down the shed. I have about 5x 1.5m lengths of it. Will 100mm NFT Guttering be wide enough? Ill be getting some clones this week or next week, and they will have to go outdoors until I move into a place in 14 days... so I was thinking of potting them up to the 7cm rockwool blocks, then letting them root in there for a few days... then when I move in I can grow them in the 100mm NFT system.. After all, all I need for the NFT system is a large tub ($10) and a pump ($20) and theres…

Ok people - I have a grow in 12/12 HERE I am asking people who have used PK13/14 how they have used it and specifically if they have used it in Coco medium for there opinion and advice on it's use. From the lable: "PK12/14 is a dynamic mineral flowering enhancer from Holland" It goes on to say it is a 'additive' and is used in addition to f;pweroimg mutrients during the flowering stage. contents is high in Phospherous (P2O5 13%) and Potassium (K2O 14%). It influences metabolism of the plant. When to use "Add once, 3 -4 weeks before harvest to a full nutrient tank. Use for 1 week only". Now this is the point where I diverge from it stated use. I have made…

DWC questions. 1 2

G'day all. I'm a complete newbie grower, planning to start a DWC grow sometime in the future. I'm trying to think about how to make my setup. I need some basics first though. I'm intending on ordering some quality seeds, sprouting them, and growing with a DWC. All the DWC guides I've seen have been started from clones. Should I grow a mother plant and then grow with clones in a DWC? When you harvest a plant, is it killed, or can you just make it veg again by changing the lights back to 24/7 and change the nutes? Thanks for any advice (and bearing with the newbie questions)

Hi peeps, I have searched for "boosters" in the outdoor Grow posts. It came up with 2 search results. I read one who used "Advanced Nutrients", checked out the web site & after considering $ & aviliability I am not a happy chappy. So, If I could ask some people for some brand names of suitable for outdoors otherwise I will use my COGr- Flores. I have been using 'dynamic Lifter Liquid Concentate' & a tea soppn of 'osmocote' (not nuch I know, but I am cautious and tbh don't have a clue. ever had a green thumb outdoors Thanks !
