Here is a thread which describes another user's method of cloning using rockwool: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/158365-dubb83s-method-easy-cloning-w.html

I'm a newbie...but in that 'Mr Green' video he has foot fluros, same as you for vegging...he uses one cool white and one warm white in each fixture....use the higher watt ones.

Thanks Brick Top...yes, that was the video! My drip feed system is basically a copy of the one he set up in the vegging room of that video. It's a great video because it's easy to follow and the parts are easily found (I noticed some of the other videos had really elaborate set up's which needed...

Thanks. I have seen a video which demonstrates building an ebb and flow system, so I might give that a go. I'll go into the hydro shop tomorrow and see what they have in the way of pebbles.

Thanks for the response. No, I won't be growing in dirt. I'm growing hydroponically (drip feed). I'm using a 130 watt cfl...it looks like a really large energy saving light bulb (I bought it from a hydro shop with a reflector)...I also have another lamp with a normal cfl as side lighting. If I...

Hi all...quick question: I have a seedling about 15-16 days old. I'm growing in 4 inch rock wool cubes, but the root system of this plant has emerged from the bottom and is growing out of the bottom of the cube. Given that there aren't bigger rockwool cubes to plant this in, do I just ignore the...

No, google do more than this. A few years back they released (I can't remember if it was accidental or on purpose) information about what people were searching on...it was released anonymised by number...but if you knew someone's number, well, game over...(they set a cookie on your computer, and...

Hi, just thought I'd mention there is a great thread about wiring fans here: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/48068-diy-wiring-fans.html

Google do track all of your searches, etc...and they keep records. To avoid this when you are doing dodgy searches, use scroogle: http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm It uses the google search engine to do your search but google can't collect your info. A program to hide you IP address...

The rock wool is slightly too alkaline, and I've always read that you should soak it overnight distilled water (ph corrected to 5.5). I also recently germinated and then planted a sprout in rockwool, it made an appearance yesterday and is fine. That rockwool does look wet though, what are...

Thanks! Awesome post, just what I was looking for. :-)

The two methods I read a fair bit about how to tell when it needs watering are either: pick up the container when it has just been watered and see how heavy it is. If you pick it up later and it feels much lighter than than then it needs watering...or stick your finger 2-3 inches down and if...

Hey, I'm a newbie...but my plants stopped growing too tall when I moved the light closer...how far away is your light?

Paranoia is such a bitch. Cops knocked on my door today, I nearly had a frigging heart attack. They just wanted to know if I'd called them...ahhhh, no! Turns out my neighbour had over something that happened outside.

I think you guys are right, I added water to that white stuff and it seems to dissolve! Hi Vi...I'm using half strength nutrients at the moment (and was using 1/3 strength until I changed the water a couple of days ago)...but in hindsight I do know why the nutrient was building up. I'm slightly...

I'm a newbie...I tried growing in soil first. Dismal failure. After that I set up a cheap hydro system and just follow the instructions...I've not been growing totally problem free, but it's a hell of a lot easier and my plants are still alive! (I have an awfully black thumb). And the plants...

Thanks for the replies...I'll go and have a read of that thread :)

Do these look like bug bites? Or a nute problem? And the other pics show a sample of some peat moss from a jiffy pellet used to germinate and grow the seedling (after that the jiffy pellet was placed in rockwool cube). There wasn't that white-ish stuff there yesterday, but today it was on the...

Not sure about the fire...but from the very brief experience of growing I've had: I had 4 young seedlings, all of which died when the temp sat at 95+ for about 3 days. I read that the plants can die with temps over 90. So that might be a problem...maybe someone else will know.

Thanks for the info! Looks like a great method to try.
