I wouldn't, wot are they under now? I've never owned a 250 but IMO the distance ud have to keep them from the globe would encourage excessive stretch
but wait n see wot riddles says

I use tap water, but i boil it first then i let it sit for a day. But riddleme's advice about the shower head is a great idea. I think i'll get one. Also i read that you should change your reservior every week when you start to add nutes. You want the roots to stay healthy. Now i'm a newbie but there is a host of information on this site about growing. And the 8/8 cycle is not a good idea, what happens with rest of the time. There's 24 hour in a day. If you just use 16 hours, what will the plants do? Sit in the dark or stay in light for the other 8 hours? Either way, you mess them up!

You are not bring air in as your exhaust fans take it out. I don't see any intake fans! You are going to have some serious problems when you have to transfer you babies to bigger pots. Think about all those roots you will have to separate! You have way too much light on your babies, you are just trying to get them to grow roots at this stage, not flower them!

hey riddleme, i read your thread 1st before i ask a question that was already asked/answered. I'm new to growing and wanted to ask a few questions. I have a hydroponic (dwc/scrog) 1-gallon tub, air pump, air stone and hose with 2- net pots pc grow box. After i germinated my seeds and they spouted, i put them in dixie cups with soil until they grow roots with 2-23w lights 18/6 cycle. I want to put my babies in the water once they have strong roots. Will doing this mess up my roots? Could i have put the spouts into the water system instead of soil? Can i just but some hydroton rocks in the bottle of the net pots, place my rooted babies into the net then cover them gently with hydroton rocks on top? I'm no sure how to use the system. My system is much smaller than the ones i've seen on this site. Do you leave the air pump /air stone running 24hrs or should it be turned off when the babies go to sleep?

It's not advisable to put soil plants into
hydro bcos the shock to the roots can be too much.. Although some do it without issues.
Yes u could have just sprouted and put them into DWC without the soil... I've done this in aero by inserting the seed with tap root exposed in a neopreen collar and it grows into the system nicley..
Others start in RW then break the cube open and set the seedling into
the system,.. I have no experience in doing it with hydroton, but as long as the taproots aren't being drowned nor dryer out then u shouldn't have a prob..
Alternativley u can grow ur plant out in soil n take clones and place the clones into
a hydro setup
Don't turn ur system off, no.

You can, there are some that do, but understand that they will not be all they can be and as SL said you have streyching problems as it is not the proper spectrum for good veggitative growth, I would start at 2 feet away and adjust from there if your gona do it

1 whats going on with my plant, tips turning yellow/brown like theyre drying up. 2 other than the obvious does the plant look normal? its northern light.
Looks like a minor nute burn and a PH problem to me, other than that plant looks ok

my email is babe2324@hotmail.com. I need help with reviving plants. my husband grows for his dad and he brought over some really droopy clones. How can i fix them quik?
First when you put your email in an early post everyone thinks your a cop trying to trap them NOT a good idea to post your contact info in a stoner forum :bigjoint:

With that out of the way tell us more about the clones and pics would help us help you a lot faster


Hey SL looks like ya got busy last night :bigjoint:
