First hydroponic setup, though i've had many failed soil grow attempts thought I would have the time to invest in a hydroponic recovery system at the moment, and a 400w hps, in which i've been fanging around looking for which isn't a problem but i was curious to comments on using pea gravel and if anybody has even found this and to have any relationship differences to clay balls would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Just reading http://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...?showtopic=2573 and noticed that the roots had filled the container after a short amount of time. Would a 50L container be too much for 1 plant? Is a bigger container better? Cheers geezas.

hey all, just planning on putting some lowryder beans into the ground soon in a mini greenhouse type setup and was wondering frequency of feeding. the whole plant life cycle is only 8-9 weeks, and i was planning on feeding occasionally with seasol- how long should i wait until feeding- until the leaves go yellow or what? Alternatively, should I wait until flowering to start fertilising? cheers :

7 Day old clones, under 20w cfl x2 no roots to be seen yet. no idea of the strain (sry) the rockwool cubes are starting to dry out and the stems are turning purple. Is this normal or is it all down hill from here ? they are largish clones Im misting the leaves with a very weak nute solution. Cant show you pic my hubby has the camera ( grrrr ) One of them had started to sag a bit so I wet the bottom of the rockwool cube, hoping it might only be thirsty.

This might sound like a really dumb question, but I was looking at my empty, fairly large fish tank, and started wondering if I could grow some plants in it. Anyone ever tried it?

Hi all, I'm in need of some help/info re the use of cocopeat in a recycling system. I'm a first time grower.
