Coach Weedhound-
ok, I can set up with the pot slightly above the resevoir cap if i want?
if so, i can do a 2-2.5 gal resevoir with about 3 inch space above water to bottom of the pot/basket, with a bit (1-2 inch) of basket above the lid.
like the pic. welcome to the rockworkshop

that pot is 7 inches deep with 2" above lid, i can cut down 1 in, make it 1 over and 6 total?

i have a 1/2 drill bit, i can make swiss cheese, i think any bigger is too big for alot of this media.
agree on size?

yes, good call on temps, had issue, got sm space heater, leave it all night, its gotten down to bout 60-65, i can turn up a bit.

HEY RHIZ!
thanks for stoppin by man, yeah, she talked me into it, so, i will accept her as the task master indeed!
i made a promise to pay closer attention. this is all new for me pal

hey nice call on the clear, but no worries. i have black vinyl spray cans. will coat outside the one that goes into service.

That should work fine for you....lots of holes....can't have too many holes. Let me dig up an old pic....

Rhizome, the GH Flora Nova....ideas about a nute schedule? I know that Rock's meter and GH are both going off a 0.5 conversion and he'll be using tap water. I've never used it myself and I've heard it's really concentrated but good stuff.

I ended up adding a third row of holes on top of those two and that seems to work about right.

Rock IS perfect when stoned....

Rock old chum I'm sorry but I use the Botanicare series.....the Flora Nova will do you fine so no worries...we just need to work you out a nute schedule and you'll be good to go. Shouldn't be hard since FN is a one part nute (i LOVE those)

no worries.
for some crazy reason, i had the idea u were setting me up with something u already used or knew.

there is a feeding schedule on the GH site for FN

http://www.generalhydroponics.com/ge...irculating.pdf

this is a schedule for a simple recirc system.
i belive thats part of what mine does(will do), right?

Weedhound · #59 (**permalink**) Feb-19-2008, 18:30

Hey how's your new baby? Does she have true leaves? The future of all depends on whether she does.....

I've found that most companies schedules are too high for real life. I don't think I've ever taken my plants to the top number of the companies suggestions...hint hint.

I would not call your system a recirculating system and neither is mine unless I add a water pump and circulate things that way.

Rock the best rule in hydro is this.....ALWAYS go lower when you are not sure of a problem. Anytime your plant is sick, burned or stressed it will benefit from LESS things rather than MORE....(hint hint

) Anything looks weird to you....immediately go drop your ppm number by diluting with ph correct water and pull your lights back until you know what's going on. The mistake that most people make is always thinking that more is a better answer than less......especially iin hydro. Remember.....a deficiency can make your plant sick but overnute will kill your plant in a heartbeat.

PS....the other best rule....keep your ph between 5.5-6.2......ALWAYS.

gotcha

I prolly shoulda bought the hardware kit.
this stupid halo is turnin into a pain in the azz.

is there anything u can think of that im missin?

i may need to take a ride saturday to the dro-shop and would prefer to get all at once.

baby SNL still only tiny lil sprout of a leaf, maybe an inch tall total.

Weedhound · #61 (**permalink**) Feb-19-2008, 21:10

Well from what I saw from your cloner I'm sure you'll build one fine. And yeah.....get some calibration solution for your meter.

If you are interested you could grab some Sweet but that's definitely an extra and you wouldn't be using it for a couple weeks anyway. The only other thing I'd think about if I were you is Cannazyme or some sort of zyme product. Again an extra but a real nice one. If you want to stick with the basics you've pretty much got what you need. Do you have some 3% h202?

Rock.Steady · #62 (**permalink**) Feb-19-2008, 22:45

whats the zymme for?
cant i get the peroxide at wallys?

Weedhound · #63 (**permalink**) Feb-19-2008, 23:41

Yeah the 3% you can buy anywhere.....but if you buy and use a zyme produt you shouldn't use both so my fault for mentioning both products.....its one or the other (cannazyme is much more expensive than peroxide)

Stealth i'm going to go answer that q on your thread.

Rock....TRUE LEAVES FOR GOD SAKE???? How's your new job doing? When are you going to transplant?

Rock.Steady · #66 (**permalink**) Feb-21-2008, 06:05

WH, its been 9 days since i put the bean in the rooter.

i did not do my normal germ-wet paper thing. so, from bean to sprout in 7 days.
there are only lil sprouts of the 1st real leaves, still in the center, barely out yet. i check everyday.
this may be a good thing.
i think better to wait for weekend, ill have time.

new job is cool, but kickin my butt, early mornings(i hate) and most of day on feet(im used to an office for many yrs) but, its cool. i think itll work out, at least for a while till i figure out if i should stay or look further.
