contrary to my user name, I grow in planter pots under 2 1000 watt lights. I am not really sure what the benefits are comparing hydro grow to soil. would like to try this easy to use system but I already have a significant operation goin and don't wanna screw anything up. can you shed a little light for me?

After the roots come out of the net pots do you just keep the water level splashing the bottom of the roots or what?

[Guvnor]

When the roots start coming through-the water level is set a inch or two below the bottom of the net-pot. The roots are then left to fall into the bubbling water. Don't know if not having a gap between the water level and bottom of net pot has any negative effects.

But if using an airstone- the root mass will get so vast that it grow over the airstone, thus preventing it from oxygenating the water/nutes to its full.
Having that exact problem at the moment
Using the pipe that the good dr uses will prevent this geatly I think.

Just a thought
Sorry to jump on your thread Doc

Dr. very nice bud man!! What are your impressions on Shit?
Taste-Yeild-Ease-time of flo....

1977m :It's not too much just a bit on the hot side(for me) 26c-27c= about 79f.
Some plants will do perfectly at 85f some prefer colder.
Personnaly I have denser buds at 70f,that's where I like my flo. room to be.
Hotter temps are bad for water as they will develop unwanted guests in your water.Also hotter temps can make your plants stretch more.To make sure you have the right temps,put a thermometer at the CANOPY,held by a rope or something not in the corner of the room.You should maybe post this in another forum.Me too!

ebbenflow just try one out in place of one of ur pots wen u do ur next run or if u have space just stick a clone in and try one out...uve seen how easy it is, give it a try
SweetNightMare the roots grow down into the water so there is no need to have the water level touching the bottom of the net pot...the level is ever changing as the plant takes up the nutrient solution and u top it up any way...pretty much wot Guvnor just said
Guvnor no probs mate any good info is welcomed
1977m are u talkin about the nutirent solution temp or the grow room temp?
true i usually let the level drop after about a week, roots are usully down enough by that time.
Purpleseed i think the Shit is excellent all round i have a very tasty keeper good yield great strain...if u look here u will see one of my grows with it https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11880 there are some older ones in the forums too..u will need to do a search..




heres a couple of pics of her she is at 45 days 12/12 still some time to go yet...ecvrything is cool the cf had shot p a bit but that is back down to 12 now ph was also a bit out but is now stable i dont find any problems in growth with theph goin up or down...this strain doest like alot of feed at all and 0 was way too high and cud have been high for a while (i hadnt checked it in the bucket) so this cud have hindered yield some...next post i will give some info on the nutes and additives i use and effect i think they have on cf and ph in the bucket...
