Today i saw a hydro set up which appealed to me for a few reasons. It is marketed as the 'Hydro Pot' system, and the pots are gravity fed water and nutrients through a system that does not use electricity. This was one positive point. The other appeal was that since all the nutrients are already mixed in, there is less mucking around with ph levels etc. This system also did not need to be flushed, as water is fed through the gravity pipe- similar to a hospital drip i guess.

Is there anything you can do to help decrease the gaps between nodes if you have a strain that tends to bud on the end of each branch and maybe 1 or 2 down the branch only. Appreciate any thoughts on this .

How you doin. Just wanting to find anbody with aeroflo experence. I have come across an aeroflo 36, and would like to have a succesful grow. So I was thinking maybe you could help a fella out with some of those rookie mistakes and things to look for. There are a few things I have gathered like the tubes are a little small so you veg very little 5-7 days to keep them small. Res. temp I've been told is critical to prevent root rot. I've seen several methods of cooling them, whats yours? Is there anybody that makes these look easy?

My grow space is about 1.5m x1.5m it is partitioned off with white plastic from ceiling to floor but is not airtight. It is a manmade plastic room inside a normal bedroom. Suspended from the …

Hi all I have just recently (1.5 weeks ago) began the flowering phase. My question is at what point can I expect my girls to stop "stretching", as this is the term that I read on Luke's grow. It's something that I have never really paid attention to b4. What are the signs that I should be looking for as my girls are getting a wee bit too close to the lights & I'm going to have to start tieing them down, which I don't mind doing (better than having burnt bud b4 you intentionally want to burn them

My light is an air cooled Ablite , being vented out side the room , i also have a 120 mm fan venting heat from the top . its winter and gets cold as hell in victoria ,so im on 24 hr lighting atm , the aero cloner is 2 feet from the light . do es any one think i should lift to 3 feet the light ???? from what ive read root zone should be 22 C is that correct ? EDIT: I have put a bigass fan in there , its now 25 C is that ok ?
