Hi all, just wondering if those of you using drip emitters could advise me on drip emitters? What kinds are there, and what are the best to use? I'm growing in growool, so any tips on the best types of drippers or even what's the worst would be greatly appreciated.... I've heard of "self-cleaning" drippers, what the heck is that? Anyway, I'll look forward to ensuing discussion on the relative merits of the pro and anti dripper growers, (I know it will turn to that eventually, :: ) and hopefully we can stay on subject long enough to get an answer here.... Just joshin.... Talk to you all soon!

ok guys I have been told by a few people that if you are growing in Perlite only that you should use a PH of around 5.2 but I used this PH and the plants would not grow too much at all I am thinking that I should go back to a ph of 5.8 or so...... what do you guys think??

Hi Guys, Im tossing up whether to go for a run to waste system or a recirculating one. What are the pro's and con's of each system, also what differs between how the systems are run ( feeding, flushing, testing etc...) Thanks

G'day guys, I was surfing a few weeks ago and stumbled across ed rosenthal's "ask ed". Anyway some dude asked him if it was ok to have a green lamp in the grow room for nightime gardening. Ed said yes but didn't go into specifics. I know for a lot of people this would be a very handy idea. Is there a downside i wonder. Also is there specific brands of green lamps to buy? I've asked at 2 hydro shops and they said they'd never heard of idea. So has anyone else got any thoughts? wc

Hello, I'm a relavtive nuub as to this as it's only my third crop. I'm growing "red devil" in perlite. Anyway this is my first time growing in perlite and wonder what people thought of it as a growing medium? Furthermore how often do people think it'd be appropriate to water in perlite given that it doesn't seem to hold a lot of moisture. I now have a problem. I've just turned the plants over to 12/12 and lifted up the the grow tubs to find the resivours beneath full of roots. What should i do with them? A mate said to put a spacer in because they'll rot. Will they harm the plant if i leave them there? Looking for any shared knowledge.

G'day, I got a dwc setup, 5 20ltr buckets... I got a submersible pump but I don't like it... it's a RIO 180. The reson I don't like it is because it's submersible and doesn't have two hose connectors, the other reason is because it doesn't pump quickly enough. What I was wondering was what are the best water pumps that aren't submersible and have two hose connectors? This pump will be used to pump nutes from a very large res into the buckets.. and when the buckets are to be drained, from the buckets to a drain in the bathroom..

hi guys, just wondering how long everyone veg's their plants for? Since i won't be doing a closet grow, but instead using roughly a 4x3x3 room, wouldn't i be better off vegging for longer and having less plants? i was thinking of vegging for 4-8 weeks but was concerned whether the yield would be worth it. Also how big would they get?? Thanks
