well i have the gh bucket drip setup first off, and i am having no luck. the first time i tried i only got the plant to grow 6 inches in about a month and it wasnt looking healthy and the power bill thoroughly pissed me off, so i quit growing for like a month and now im patient enough to try again so i got distilled water , 1 1/2" cubes of rockwool and clean hydroton, the ph is at about 6ish and theres about 4-5 ppm in the whole 2 gallon reservoir and for lighting im using a 400w hps light, and i even put a air stone in the reservoir with another pump just to keep the water aerated.
i keep the light about a foot suspended above the rockwool cube which is centered in the bucket, and i run the light for 14 hours a day,and i try to keep the water dripping for a hour or two at a time then i turn it off for about 6 hours, which keeps the hydroton pretty wet. o and i have a big fan set on low to circulate the air in the closet (its not that small of a closet).
is this correct? ive read up on it and it seems right, i know ill need to leave the water drippers on at all times once proper root structure is coming out of the rockwool but do you guys have ne advice? i feel like i cant accomplish this and its pretty frustrating.
