Just a heads up! PH Perfect won't keep your PH steady at any level. What it does is allow your plants to uptake nutrients in a large range, like 5.6 to 7.0 without adjusting your PH.

HR,
Next round thinking about running a row of my buckets with grodan grow cubes. Do you think it would be a problem to just run one with the grodan and the others with hydroton?
Seems like a lot of people are getting good results running grow cubes in there system.
Thanks!

I have done this paco so you should be fine, with growdan x3 floods and tron x4floods but
but its only the matter of one flood! Dont think it will have a neg effect
Thanks HR!
Should I just go for it and do all cubes? Everything is going great but always looking to improve. I've seen the root development with the growdan cubes/chunks and it's pretty impressive!
Aren't you using just the grodan now?

Growdan chunks on most runs and growdan loose fill AKA (floc)
tron is just to labouring
HR,
I agree! It's a pain in the ass!! I'm still a ways out but when I get close I'll have some questions for you of course. As always! Thanks for all your help!

How would you put a germed seed in a dwc, with out rockwool or anything to support the seed. Plain hydroton
hellraizer30
Rebel From The North
To my knowledge you cant without huge risk to the seedling, there are lots of mediums other that growdan you
could use

Okay. If I did use rockwool, should I put it in hydroton above water level or just so the bottom of the rockwool is constantly wet?

You want to place the cube where water can keep the tron wet and a natural amount of moisture can
soak the growdan and wick into it.

What is your opinion on a 2x2 ebb and flow tray with just rockwool through the entire grow?

Its a great idea! I got a buddy that pulls a lb off a 2x4 table so skys the limit!

Okay.. One last thing. Organic nutes, or man made? And what's the best brand for ebb and flow? I was looking at organic "plant supplement" called earth juice. I saw that it has everything in it for our plants, but perhaps not enough to just use alone? What you think?

Well do not go organic it will =a nightmare!
and since im droping using AN and switching
to canna, i would go canna its super clean and
cheap.

Thank you sir!
I might just go with clones since Al had good advice. What's the best way to work with clones when using a ebb and flow?

I like using growdan starter cubes or rapid rooters to root in then, either transplant to growdan blocks or buckets filled with
growdan medium! Then just place them on the table....simple and effective!

Clones are easy to work with. But if you get clones grime somebody. Flush them. You don't know if what they uses will have a bad reaction to your nutes. Start with 1/4 nutes if they are well rooted. But that's all depending on the clones so it's hard to say right now. I give nothing but water till roots show on the bottom of a 3" RW cube.
