To irrigate!...Or not to irrigate!....That IS the question....

[justanotherbozo]

Indeed...at the moment i am without a digital camera....the reason my res is at the bottom of the net pot was because i saw in the faq on this site that the water should be "The nutrient solution should be kept at a level of 1" above the bottom of the net basket when a new plant/clone has been introduced to the bubbler."

:hippy:

i hope you didn't take me too seriously, i was kiddin' around about the pics, lol

as to the level of your res, i was only guessing, and, with top-feeding, you don't
need the res so high
actually, top-feeding is better than just over-filling your res because your
roots will get more oxy from top-feeding than from an over-full res.

you may want to consider a cheap camera some time soon also because, if
you run into problems, it's much easier to diagnose when we can see what
the problem looks like


either way, good luck, if i can help, i will

Hi there! :jointsmile: Got into an intellectual fight with my bro the other day over when it is time to stop watering the rockwool cube in the DWC bucket. I was under the impression that you water the cube, avoiding the stem and thus root rot and other nasty thing, until the roots pop out the netpot....(rockwool is in net pot, surrounded by hydroton). He countered with the fact that if i wanted the roots to grow,...which I am trying to accomplish so I can get the roots to the bottom of the Rating: 5
