hmm, interesting, i have never seen it happen, what is root rot like lol ?
yield wise with NFT i normally get anything from 3-8 oz per plant depending on strain, although there is exceptions larger sativa/haze plants can produce over 1lb each pretty easy
i think NFT is more suited to larger plants, that fill out into the space around them plants in nft naturally want to get big and spread out
you can grow lots of little plants with nft but i don't think it is as space efficient as using individual pots for each plant
if i was going to fill my whole floor space with little SOG style clones single cola plants i would use pots not NFT much easier to move the plants around when they are in individual pots etc

The roots started to brown after about 3-4 weeks flowering then i noticed that the pump was getting blocked with broken root which had started to rot it was then that i realised that filling the tray with a hosepipe was NOT a very good idea when it's got a massive amount of root growing into it also the 3 plants outgrew the tray 3 x 5'+ plants in a 205 is far from ideal lol the trunks were easily as thick as my small spacecase and had to be propped up by wedging pieces of wood against them and the wall and yoyos fucking everywhere on top even though they didn't grow much for the last 4-5 weeks the end result was still banging.

t mobile block a great deal of sites on their 3g network, although that probably wont affect you if you just use it for browsing
that is all it is good for anyway it is unstable and slow, they use image compression by default which makes it look ugly too, you can turn that off
t mobile are just shit lol , i guess in some areas it works ok, i have not found one yet
vodafone is a bit more expensive but the network is stable, where i am the signal is weak but it is still a constant connection whenever i use it
and nothing is blocked , you can use vodafone 3g like any other internet connection .. its fast and stable enough to use it to watch tv use skype etc etc
although most folk wouldnt use it for that, its possible
ive not used any other 3g networks so couldn't help you with any other the others

I been a'travlin! Spent the bank holliday in london camping and getting evicted from said non-campsite and getting high as a kite and eating my face off. Most pleasing. Nowt for me from the postie alas
Had to buy £60 of amnesia haze off the local street cleaner to get us through the weekend. Notice has been handed into work though, so one more week to go then 2 weeks emptying the flat, 2 weeks of doing absolute fuck all, 4 weeks of cooking and then it's a whole new world for me Looking at moving to somewhere just north of london, although also pondering the notion of buying an old double decker bus and turning it into a gourmet food wagon

I've never had an issue with o2 and blocking places. I've found that most mobile internet solutions will block any supposedly adult websites and it's simply a case of getting in touch and confirming that you wish to view all these sordid sites and voila. Been with 02 for years and years now without an issue accessing RIU etc, only issue was when i tried to access using one of the bt openzone hotspots.

you have to tie nft plants up m8 in 2-3 places to keep them upright thats just the way it is .. if you can keep them about 1.5ft high they might stay upright on thier own, any bigger and they will topple
you could use little pots with clay pebbles instead of rockwool blocks to make them more sturdy
but i think thats just more work, i just use regular garden wire to tie them in place its cheaper than yo,yos
a 205 tank is ok for 2-3 plants if they have space around them you can pull them into the space .. a gt205 can yield 20 + oz if you have the space around it for the plants to spread out into
if it was like a 205 in a wardrobe or tent or something with no space around it, it should yield about 5-8 oz
i just fill mine up with a watering can, its just as quick really as using a hosepipe
if you use spreader matt dont use too much of it, just a little square under each block is enough
spreader matt causes the water to stay deeper in the top plate, if the water looks deep just sit the tank on a small piece of wood of something
to keep the flow shallow ... the pumps used with nft are shit m8, they are just the same as £9 pumps you can by from pets at home lol
you have to be vigilant and make sure they stay pumping , if you live in a hard water area they will most likely get blocked at some stage and stop working , i normally buy 2-3 pumps every few months, i spend more on rockwool and food overall
you can build a filter for the pump, or use better quality pumps lots of options
i don't expect overly pretty roots the roots will be slightly straw like in places and bleach white in others
i really pay little attention to the roots now, i just make sure the pumps are working and the flow is kept shallow . when the rootmat is big
it will absorb more of the solution
thats a good time to raise the tanks by putting them on a small piece of wood or whatever just raising them by half an inch at the pump end will keep the flow shallow enough to stop puddles
the roots will grow into the tanks below don't worry about that
its not helpful to put bubblers / air pumps into the NFT rez either, the motion of the water moving is enough to give plenty of oxygen to the solution
one thing i have found with nft is it is very hard to judge a plants size and yield by the root system it makes, small plants can make huge rootmatts like a telephone directory lol, while other large plants can make much smaller rootsystems and be huge yielders this is one of the reasons i pay little attention to what goes on with the rootsystem and just concentrate on the plant itsself , the roots will look after themselves so to speak

for nft i use vitalink max or canna , with no other additives those 205 tanks are better suited to 2 plants m8 , they are small tanks but work well
i have a few of them, nft will yield big m8, recently i ended up with 2 large seed plants in 1 tank, the flav and angelheart
both were over 6ft tall but bent over the combined yield was over 30 oz
although one of the plants the angelheart spent the last 5 weeks by itself as it took 14 weeks to finish the flav was taken down at 9 weeks
i normally only veg for 4-5 weeks for seeds , or about 10 days for clones i haven't tried to grow big plants recently some just end up that way
due to genetics, haze and sativa strains and NFT itself plants will get big if the genes allow it and you have the space and light to cover them they will get huge
