nice grow... i am on my first noob hydro experiment... a long time soil grower, and until i met fox farm i was a; compost, selfmixed earth, guy. The hydro is very exciting i think, of course alot more hands on, and tempremental... I LOVE hydroton, becuase i am a foliar feed retard, and it hard to over water, and if you do, the plant bounces back real quick... i also like a cotton wick, it helps me know that small plants can get moisture as they need at any time, and it flushes clean, during res change. I have been wondering what to do for air in the small res though. what is truely the best method of puttin o2 in the water?

Can't wait to see how it turns out

on a side note
i am gonna have to augment my set up for flowering, there is just no way my set up could handle even 4 fully grown flowered plants.i don't know if you are fimilar with emily's garden, but i was thinking of somehow adding an external res. maybe by using a heigth difference to keep the planters water level right, and for free drain, and a pump from the res to wherever.
does this sound about right? this should allow me to keep my setup still somewhat short, but add needed res room

Welcome to the Darkside Hey all, can I start by saying for the record that I am a COMPOST grower- HAHAHA- just in case there was any confusion... :jointsmile: I'm setting up another room in my house to run hydro for the winter because I really don't have a good place to store soil that doesn't freeze, and disposing of used dirt in a place that gets SNOWFALL is just ASKING for trouble... So this is going to be set up as an example of what I consider to be a very VERY basic beginner hydro system, one which anyone Rating: 5
