Hey mate,
Yeah just a mix of the perlite and vermiculite is all im using
I believe i started late january..

It makes things very easy due to the face that they don't actually store nutrients in the medium so when flushed properly it goes entirely back to neutral and is very similar to using a hydro setup because you have so much more control in what the plant actually takes in.

I generally water the plants when i notice that they are quite lighter its a great indicator of how much water (nutrients) is still being held.

I have a mate that waters them every day but i find that to be a bit over kill but he doesnt seem to have any large issues doing this due to the good aeration from the medium.
(I have told him of the risks of mold and behold some mold reared its head)
Some just can't be warned lol

Thanks guys for stopping by and i will be posting some more pics this arvo as i have installed a 12" Carbon filter, fan and silence ducting into the roof cavity and the walls and floors are now covered in mylar to help reflect some light to under the leaves and the sides :thumbsup:
