excited

Bongo is right,I didn't mean to discourage you. Just monitor it a lot.

I do Hydroponics and am sold on it completely. I have had very good results with my EQ; 400MH and a 2x4 Ebb/Flow Garden for vegging and a 400HPS and a 3x3 garden for flowering, which I got a Homebox tent for.

Cool is right, its not as forgiving but if you can monitor your garden daily, it rocks.

I had pump connection go out on me in my flowering box yesterday, the plants looked really bad. 10 minutes after feeding started, they looked great again.

It is an awesome experience, congrats med mama.....advice: check your ph and adjust accordingly every day! Advanced nutrients are amazing and they are coming out with a new line of nutrients at the end of july that make it where one doesn't have to adjust ph or ppms at all. Good luck med mama....I'll show pics of my girls at some point.

As soon as the nice fed ex guy drops it off i will get it going and i will take pics...nate: that there is a chance that my plants will look bad for a little while i am going to be transfering from soil to hydro so there is going to be alot of shock for them so they could lose leaves and discolor but! they will recover. I plan on babying them like crazy... everytday i will be checking things and we have a spare bin for the days i need to clean. We are also doing our veggies in them (not the same box and the mj ) come june so you may also see pics of the veggies also. I love gardening who knew putting a seed in the soil and a week later life apears. It is down right fasinating and this little country girl is ready to start a farm.

Hi there--

I may be wrong on this but I wouldn't recommend going from soil to hydro. You might be better off starting with some rockwool cubes which are inexpensive and very forgiving with regards to overwatering.
;)

I am going to do that as well i just have a few in soil that i wanted to try to switch to hydro if they die it will be ok they are just swag seeds no biggie. just a experiment. I will be starting the good seeds in the rockwool cubes.

Mama,

One thing you "might" want to consider is when transplanting from soil to the Hydro, you really should make sure that the roots are totally free from soil....otherwise you might just get some junk in your plumbing that could cause you some problems.

Just a thought...

Congrats again on the equipment and your grow!:)

I think Oasis cubes are better than rockwool.

I recommend Oasis cubes instead of rockwool.

I got the package yesterday...was a little disapointed in the size i was expecting a little bit of a bigger box, but all in all it is a cool little box. I currently have it up and running moved my 6 plants in it and they all look great So far the stress looks minimal but i am sure we will find out in a few days how they will really do. i took some pictures last nite right after they were transplanted and i will take some more tonite afrter the 24 hour mark and then i will do that every 24 hours just to see how they are either progressing or not. Either tonite or tomorrow i will post pictures for everyone to see. But i am not sure how to do that? Can some one point me in the right direction....budbook pals i will post the pics on there as well. Thanks for all the advice and input even though it is not always good i will always take what you all say and learn from it and my own mistakes. I love this gardening stuff it is so awesome to watch things grow. Last nite after the kids were asleep and the plants had about an hour left on thier timer i sat there in my stoner chair (papasan) and just watched the plants and they are truely fasinating (the fact that i was stoned could of helped with the fasination but it was a very relaxing night. :jointsmile:
