Buds are starting to look REALLY nice there.....I'm starting to drool a little. Sorry to hear about the molasses problems. Gave me issues too.

Yah, I had read your post about your troubles with molasses while deciding if we should use it too. I thought I would work my way up from a small amount and all would be ok.... hahahaha!!! They seem to be doing ok now, and are only 2-3 weeks from flush, so I'm not too worried. I guess we should have everything down by the time this next tub ripens.... hopefully, anyways.

When they first start, the nutrient level goes up about a 1/4" from the bottom of the netpot, so the bottom of the netpot actually sits in the nutrient solution. As the roots grow down, the water level is eventually adjusted to about 1-2" below the bottom of the netpot. I like it that way because there is no media to get salt buildups in, so I don't have to worry about flushing the system.
If you're considering going hydro, I'd highly recommend it. It's just as easy as soil, but different. Whichever you decide, make sure it's tailored to your application because each has pros and cons in different areas.

so at some point in time the roots will be sitting in the water???
i have never under stood that because in soil grows u can over water them

At pretty much any point, the roots will be sitting in water, that's what hydroponics is all about. The problem with over-watering soil plants is that the roots will rot and/or die due to suffocation. The roots need a constant supply of oxygen and if your pot is full of stagnant mud, they die. The only reason the roots work in something like a DWC setup is because of the aerated water. By using an air pump and constantly aerating/oxygenating your nutrient solution, the roots receive all the oxygen they need.

hey GV I forgot what size of tank UR plants R in?
I wanted to get a much bigger bucket for growing DWC.like I like. so I could have more plants in a bigger DWC bucket like URs.
thus getting more bud.
btw got any new pix of the plants as a whole?

I appreciate the compliments everyone and I will try to get some pictures up of the whole tub (12 clones). I have avoided doing so because since the molasses fun, several of the plants stopped growing because their roots were decimated.
