those are not 'real' leaves, its those coty-whatevertheyrcalled things, BUT the 2 real leaves are already coming outta the center, i see em, maybe tomorow.:thumbsup:
now really tho, as i near deadline, i need some input on basket and resevoir size as stated above, i have choices and concerns.
and how big should i let it grow before we move to the bucket?
ps-got ur email and replied;)
Ok....you can see the first true leaves starting? Excellent! I took your advice and put my latest soil seed under a cfl so I hope it get some damn leaves like yours. :thumbsup:
Can you post a pic of these pots you are talking about? You want your larger outside bucket as large as possible....more water will stay much more stable with your nutes and ph.
ok, here are 2 i have ready, kinda.
sq one is a foot tall, 6qt bucket/pot, all i gotta do is drill zillions of holes.
round one is like 15 in tall, 3 gal basket/pot, already drilled bottom like swiss cheese
either of these i can get about 2 gals in for ressevoir, and water level is a couple inched below bottom of basket.
basket depth on both is bout 7 inches, but, i could shallow it up by cutting them down.
see, i have many options.
how much water resevoir size is good?
how small a basket is too restrictive? or, is it ever a restriction?, roots would growq out and then dangle in the water. good or bad???
again, i know nothing of this water voodoo:wtf::D

glad you like it!
yeah, im kinda handy:thumbsup:
its all about the "stuff" you have available.
I have 'stuff' of all kinds:D
George Carlin did a bit years back about "your 'stuff' and other peoples' 'shit'" it was a riot. if u ever heard it, youll understand.:D
many happy returns!
You could most likely get away with even something like a six inch pot or something.....either one will work for you since you aren't going to be growing trees. My w/f's hold about 2 and 1/2 gals of water to give you an idea....roots hanging in water is fine since you are going to be putting an airstone in your water as well as the drip system. Make sure your holes are big enough to allow good drainage and for the roots to grow through without clogging the holes.
Sounds like your tap water will work for you....disinfect your buckets before you start. You can put her in in a couple days but may not want to run the drip 24/7 until she gets a little bigger (but then you are in hydroton so it's probably fine.)
Once built go ahead and stick your h-ton in and run the system, checking ph frequently and readjusting as necessary. Then change to fresh water with a DROP....and I DO MEAN A DROP.....of superthrive and pop her in.
Just a couple thoughts to add on...if you like I'll try to work out a schedule for you based on your tap water and Flora Nova nutes to go by at a 0.5 conversion. Let me know.
Also what are the temps going to be in your growroom? Your water temps will be pretty close to your room or floor temp and can't be below about 65 degrees (WATER temp) so don't know if you've taken that into consideration because I am remembering something about your insulation..
Damn, Rock-
That WeedHound is a tough taskmaster...

Hey, watch out for algae with all that clear plastic.
Banana Cream. :D
Gotta keep an eye on Rock....he gets ideas......this is a scary concept. :D :D ;)
