i actually soaked it in ph adjusted water of around 5.5

well.. the actual system alone cost me a little over $100... which basically include the tray, 15 gallon res., hoses and a pump... it works very nice and like you said, its extremely simple...

wicked, i have no idea why its purple... maybe its the strain? what strain are you growing?

I couldn't even tell you the strain, or even if it's indica or sativa.
I was just smoking dope at some kids house and he had these huge buds.
and he was telling me how one of his plants went male and pollenate a plant
and I took a couple seeds from him just to see if growing was possible cause I'm so broke, I can't even afford to eat food.
and the plant sprouted and I wanted to do something different so I set up an aquaphonics thingy.

My plant's look a lot healthier too for some reason, the leaves are twice as big as the photos I have found on here.

the part just before the medium has reddish tinge to it I think.

i think its easier just to go straite to soil after germination. just put the seed with the root facing up or sideways because they curl down. if you put it in root facing down they will curl up and start growing upside down. its nto really a big deal you can just pull it out and turn it right side up. they are pretty easy to work with at this stage but i like going straite to soil because for one ive found that they grow faster with the nutrients and its less work.

seeing that i said "found" meaning from my own experiences.......which has nothing to do with "smoking myself retarded" because different things happen with every grow depending on what kind fo soil you are using. i must be in an area with rich soil. so dont talk like you know a lot abotu growing when this is your first time in a 1x1 tank

well, i dont think any1 special made this ebb and flo system, its pretty generic from a local hydroponics store, does this answer your question or have i misunderstood u?

as for the updates of my plants, most of them are thankfully healthy, while one seems to be pH burnt, and the last pis is apparently a mutent mutent..

the brown 'marks' on the 1st 2 plant pics are from foilar sprayed a few hours ago wit a plant food/growth enhanser and carbonated water mis... not sure if its normal to have that, if not please inform me...

yeah, thats what i meant... everything is pretty much unbranded generic.. for an ebb and flow everything is really simple, all u need is a tray with drainage holes, one for the hose connected to the motor in the res. to the tray.. the other to drain the water from the tray to the res..
so basically all u need is a tray, a res. (mine is 15 gallons), a motor, hose..
