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?

Does anyone know if there is significant yield loss (in weight) if you pick crop at 6 weeks as opposed to 7 weeks and then compared to 8 weeks. I have been told that the buds put on all of their weight in last 2 weeks. Is this true? Thanks

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
