What do i need with AN 3 series for RDWC

This might make your life easier. 500 ml squeeze bottles! Never spill a drop your nutes again, except when filling these bottles. I label what they are and the nutritive value, sometimes dosage too
Keep your rockwool damp not saturated

thats def smart l spill for sure and it’s annoying especially when it’s the dark micro fro gh. Sweet i will be careful because i def want to boost the ladies and get this shit going lol. I’ve never used Rockwool before only soil pods. Since the round leaves are already up and seed shell has been dropped off can i put them under better light to speed them up or should i keep them under the clone lighting. I have some lower end leds i can use

Do what you would do if they were in soil pods. I start mine out under a 1000 qb at about 18” then lower it to 12ish if they look stretchy at all. Then into the system when they have a 5-6” root.

Cool yeah i will just bump the light up closer i just have 22 other clones under light that i have for a soil Scrog grow im running as well but half of them are showing roots as well so I’m sure they all have roots just haven’t shown yet

Btw, you don’t want to squeeze your rockwool cubes if you can avoid it. It wrecks the structure. A lot of people use salad spinners to get excess water out. I just cup it’s in my hand and quickly swipe my hand downward a couple times. Even if you do squeeze the shit out of it it will work just waterlogs easier

Thank you for info i luckily did read that becauee this is the first time i used Rockwool so i read a bit on it and found that it compromises the structure and its ability to breath. Before i put seeds in i soaked it in ph water with a tiny bit of root stimulator mixed in and then shook the Rockwool until there were no more droplets coming off then put seeds in. Less than 72 hours and i got this as we speak. One chocobang and one sugar Breath! The sugar breath may be the strand i have been the most excoted about in a long time

from your experience how long after the main root comes out like this will i see like 5-6 roots and be able to put it in the res and get shit started ?
Also what Nutes do i start with for first week i am running AN trip series ph perfect and calimag and hydrogaurd !

Rockwool f*cks me up I have tough skin with everything but it I swear... How are you holding that with bare hands?? XDD

I mean it’s my first time ever using it as I’m first time hydro user. Is it supposed to hurt ? Lol i have never heard that and it doesn’t feel like anything to me. It’s damp so maybe that helps idk

4-5 days. Depends some will shoot straight down, others will be more branchy.
Reading is probably the best skill you can have in this game. I mean books and research papers and from ag extension offices, real science. Not what stoners like me write

I’m using an mostly now too. I start at 125-130ppm, leave it there until they get a 3 or 5 finger leaf, up it to 150ish then up it 20 ppm or so every week until flip and see what they want from there.

Yeah 93OG funny you say that I’ve been thinking lately I’ve learned so much of like hands on and learning from YouTube videos about training and feeding schedules etc. (obviously hydro is new to me ) And lately I’ve been wanting to begin to learn more about the science of the plants. Like what compounds do what to the plant and all that jazz if that makes sense. Obviously there is sooo fucking much and that’s kind of why i don’t know where to start lol. I don’t grow for money or street cred although the money is nice lol. I love learning about the process and mastering the things i try to make them better. And once it goes federally legal it’s what will feed my family (hopefully for generations ). So yeah i def want to learn. I just signed up here a week ago and I’m grateful for so much information in such a short time as I’ve learned a lot. But we naturally as humans put our opinions in on it and with some it is worse for sure but i can tell when peole are more boasts i really appreciate the help from all through and any reading material suggestions please throw my way

Be super careful what you take from you tube. IMO 90% full of shit. So many people think they out smarted 70 years of scientists.

Real science from your home state. Pretty much the same crop. All kinds of links there
Edit, got into that more and it’s not very good.
20+ years ago there was a book call Hydrponic Food Production. About an 1”1/2 thick had good foundational info and hydroponic theory.

Dope I’ll def be reading up as much as possible. And yeah that and too many people are selling their voice for money promotions and not real results etc for sure

Just thought of this. If you’re in a humid part of tx you can run higher ppms than I do

It’s not usually humid here unless it’s hot or raining but the humidity in my room stays around 55 max out at 70 i have big ac dehumidifier in there and a smaller dehumidifier if i need it to control. What would the difference be if humidity goes up ? Not sure if having all that water in there will raise it lol haven’t had that much water in there yet

Most have all water covered so doesn’t change RH. The bigger plants will up the RH.

Yeah it always goes up wjen the ladies get bigger

I’m at like 30-35% rh. Maybe 10-30% higher ppms. Im just guessing there, your girls will tell you.
Less transpiration

lol it shouldn't hurt. For some reason I get all messed up by it when I touch the blocks. I use Root Riot Plugs instead.
