cool ill try something like that. should i worry about getting the rockwool soaked?

anything i can do about the rocks now?

how could nutrient lockout occur other than pH troubles? i set the pH to 5.7 or 5.8 and let it rise to about 6.2. i had considered pouring a bunch of pure water over the pellets to rinse them further but i dont want to soak the cubes and cause problems with that. ill make some covers for the...

true ive never heard of that. where the hell do you get powdered eggshells? lol

im with you man this is my first dwc too we gotta be forgetting something. hopefully someone jumps on this soon. whats that epsom salt for again? Mg?

Hey guys i have five seedlings that are about 4 weeks old in dwc. i gave them straight RO water for about 3 weeks. they began to get these brown spots and were very yellow. i added 40 ppm of fox farms grow big hydro formula and the next day the difference was noticable. they were greener and...

thanks skooot ill start a little high and lower them if need be. but these girls had an awesome reaction to that fox farms i added the other day. hell of new new growth and they are becoming darker green. just to recap that was about 40 or 45 ppm. ive given them two days now with the feeding and...

hey yeah i kinda put that up in a hurry the root grew out the side when it was in a humidome and got slightly brown and shriveled. they have been on straight r/o about 11 ppm until today i added only 40 ppm of fox farms grow big for hydro (liquid) so the total ppm is about 52. the pH climbs but...

hey guys. so like the title says these babies are about 3 weeks old the smaller ones' roots grew out the side of the cube so i think thats why they were stunted. the other three were looking nice until recently when they started lightening in color and browining on the tips. i read that this...

yeah i yanked those domes off shortly after i posted that you guys are right. ill use rapid rooters from now on i love them for clones especially. but thor thats sick how do you germinate like that? and what do you think about adding some H2O2 to the reservoir to get some extra oxygen?

BeaverHuntr i did too. taproots had popped out of the bottom of the rockwool so i put them in the net pots still in the dome. then i got paranoid that the clay pellets werent holding enough moisture from my topwatering so i stuck them in the dwc to get that humidity/wick effect you guys were...

oh and another thing. i know the cotyledons can naturally die and fall off when the real leaves can support the plant but ive had a few stay on for a long time. you can see that these are already curling and drying out. does this mean anything? like was it something i did or am doing or does it...

thanks guys im pretty sure my root zone is staying humid enough. the water is now covering the bottom half inch or so of the net pots. what do you guys think about these little humidomes and what the hell are these brown spots on the leaf surface and the yellowing and slight curling of the tips...

anyone????

whats up everyone? i have 5 seedlings in a dwc. they are about a week to ten days old. the roots had just begun to apper from the bottom of one inch rockwool when i transplanted them into hydroton clay pellets in net pots. i kept them in a humidome for about a day, watering around the rockwool...
