Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and I can't tell you how much the RIU community has helped with my first grow..
I am growing white widow from Nirvana. I started 5 seeds and got 4 females.![Mr. Green :mrgreen: :mrgreen:](/styles/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
3 of these are on week 6 and the tallest is at week 7.
Soil is FF Ocean Forest. great stuff.. Every other watering i fertilize with 1/2 strength botanicare karma and pro grow.
They are under a 400w MH and a 150w HPS on the side. These are basically going to be mother plants for my big hydro system.
A couple of days ago i built this bubble cloner for the first set of cuttings. There are about 4 airstones located under the side with the clones. They run 24/7. Clones are on day 2. Distilled water with 1/2 to 1 tsp of h202 per/gal. Also just a bit of bloom nutes 1/6 strength.
The system is a drip system where each site has its own drip line with no emitter just a gentle trickle from the tube.
The pump is an eco 396 gph. I think i have it all figured out with the exception of some devices i need to buy like meters for EC, PH, and also a RO filter.
I do have one question: Once is place the rooted clones into the system, Is it ok to have the nutrient pump running 24/7 ?? Reason being is that i do not have an expensive recycling timer for say 4min on 1min off.
I just want to make sure the roots are getting enough water but not drowning or drying out if i use a different pump schedule.
Well.. I guess that about does it. Let me know what u think i should do. Any help would be very appreciated.
Peace.![Peace :peace: :peace:](/styles/smilies/peace.gif)
