Hi(gh)...I recently gathered up the nerve to convert a 240 gallon fish tank into a hydroponics system, and I've got a few questions. My system is a 240 gallon fish tank with a surface-skimming overflow and 20 gallon sump. The water recirculates at approx. 800 gallons per hour. My seedlings are in styrofoam cups filled halfway with "filter floss", topped-off with straight vermiculite. The cups have holes cut in the bottom (which is submerged) and the cups float on another piece of flat styrofoam (with holes to accomodate the cups and allow their bases to be submerged). I'm currently using just one side of the tank, a 4-foot x 2-foot section, and am using 3 quartz ha…

would putting banana or fruit peals on the ground around plants in the soil make any difference to their growth? high_hoper

I'm new to growing and need advice. I havn't started yet but I'm thinking of it soon. I want advice on the best strain for me and whether I should go outdoor or indoor. I'm in SA and I just want to grow a personal smoke. Enough to last me till next harvest if possible without growing too much. In Adelaide at the moment should I go indoor or outdoor? And what strain should I go for, I want a big yield but good smoke. Is Nothern Lights good for that or are there any others considering I've never grown b4. I know where I vcan get good seeds and clones but I just dont know what to go for. Any advice welcome!!

Sorry, I goofed.

Hey Guys ive thrown my plants under the hydro for about a month now and ive noticed theres a s bend in one of the stems i was wondering if thats going 2 effect the plants growth as it a breed that i wish to grow strong.... and how long usually should i keep the lights on 24/7 then change them to a 18 hour period..? during the vegative growth..

How much head space do the plants need? How tall will they grow? Will they grow depending on how much space they have? Will height affect yield? At present, I have space with about 45cm vertical clearance.

How do I find out what size and speed the fans will need to be for my closet? The closet will be approximately 1.8m Long by 2m High by 1m wide, any other info needed before you's can tell me how to find that information out? Cheers Andrew
