The best hydroponic system would have the plant growing in some substrate like clay pebbles, with the roots coming out the bottom into an enclosed area with mist spraying on the roots. This causes all the fine hairs and finer structures to burst out of the roots and create a massively increased...

It's just a human being coming to terms with the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns.

Do we have at least half a dozen Auto flower growers who are up for a Grow and Show in the Eazyplug Pyramid (small). They are less than six bucks at walmart, and it's prolly best to use the 1 inch eazyplug to start because the mini pyramid has a space where that fits in. Impossible to overwater...

Here's a shot taken in the dark using the iPhone flash it looks a lot better than the normal high contrast light coming straight down. Six weeks from germination tomorrow. Please with the result so far, my original plant is out the window, and my new plan is to keep trying and master this...

I tried a store bought halo, I prefer making my own with screw in jets that I can place at any angle, and I can make it whatever shape to suit. Use the more rubbery hose not the plasticky one.

Heads are beginning to bulk up but still looks like 3—4 weeks to go. Quite leafy like the last one despite more defoliation but she is growing more normal looking heads rather than stacked calyxes but anything can happen.

Decided to do some defoliating of the lower leaves as there's already enough getting direct light and they were just being shaded. Before After

Yeah, there's obviously something up, that needs to be sorted because hydro is generally dead easy to get right. Here's one home made hydro, where I have set up a ring spray and the roots sit on the bottom which has holes and drains into another tank. However it's a bit of a pain because the...

Yes I do. They look pretty bad. It will just be continuous trouble.

They look fine but to get the best results you need to get some feathering on the roots which doesn't happen if they are submerged. If you're going to do a DWC you're better off designing and building your own system. It's very straightforward. Best to have a reservoir and the roots just hanging...

I'm just talking about clones. So the Rockpool cubes were sitting in little slotted holders, in a tray, covered and a single fluorescent strip over them. Did not get placed in clay balls till later. This is robust enough that I was able to take a clone of a flowering garden plant put it in a jar...

Are these clones off a plant that was vegging or in early stage of flipping? At any rate I would ditch the lot and start again. When I used to grow photoperiods my cloning set up always produced a strong result ready for the clay balls. I had the clones in 1 inch Rockwool cube and with a top...

It's never too late to defoliate. As my grandmother use to not say.

As mentioned earlier a $20 LUX meter will satisfy all your CDO cravings.

Current set up, main plant 4 weeks to go, new bean to replace it a week old in the new tub, and my latest experiment, an auto growing in a free standing eazyplug mini pyramid 4" high. Plus a new pyramid to replace it in a few weeks which is in the background.

Yes it works and it works well, but that doesn't mean you have to do it. I gave up scrogs because I prefer the flexibility of being able to move my plants around and generally have more control, plus it's not really necessary you can still grow the same quantity without a scrog. It's more of an...

May as well update this. My original aim was to try and grow a single stem with maybe a 7-10g bud, I did not expect this to grow out this way, I thought she'd just be a small bush but I have her under her own 100W light now which was not part of my original plan, but what can you do. I mixed up...

Defoliating has become necessary due to my conditions i.e. no exhaust and growing in a walk in wardrobe with a fan and the door open. However this is proving to be a bit tricky because there is very many trichomes forming on most of the outer leaves making it difficult to get in without causing...

@twentyeight.threefive ha ha? Please explain.

I'd think about super cropping those to make better use of your light.
