Bubbler System Question

[RoboGro]

Sure did help, thanks. I'll just have to put the money on a good one and think of it as an investment.

I did order some CalMag+ and PH up and down today. I might order some Superthrive tomorrow.

Any thoughts on the two plants being light green in color?

RoboGro Reviewed by RoboGro on 05-26-2006. Bubbler System Question Been getting alot of good info here, thanks Latewood and all. I have been growing in dirt for sometime now and had a hydro kit that I bought setting around and finally decided to give it a go. Soo... Do I put the Rockwool at the bottom of the net pots let them get wet for a day then put the seeds in the Rockwool and cover them with the little round stone sort of things? I was hoping to start this morning but noticed last night, when I put the stones in first that alot of them fell Rating: 5

I buy superthrive at wally's big_box_mart

[RoboGro]

Well, here they are at three weeks. Only three left and one of them ain't lookin so good. That's how the others dried up and died. The two that are bigger at least have roots that I can see comming out of the sides of the net pots. They also have some yellowing leaves but the green is rather pretty. I'd like to take at least the two all the way but I'm not getting my hopes too high.

I should go back to growing in soil, but I'm going to be stuborn about it and try again... and again... and again!

LW, I had no idea that Walmart had superthrive. Didn't even bother to look
I'll have to get there this weekend. Hopefully, something like that will help me save the two and a half that's left.

As always, any advice is mucho appreciated.

If you can see roots they will come through. Mine all ways looks worse right before you can see roots. Your problem took me awhile to figure on rooting 10 to 12 just to get 6 good ones and maybe a backup or 2. Don't give up.You will get the hang of it.

[latewood]

I agree, If you have a couple with roots...you are through the hardest part...keep it up.

Thanks for the encouragment. My confidence swings like a pendulam with this hydro stuff. I was finally able to order the CalMag+ and PH up & down; I also got some superthrive at Walmart. Yesterday was the first time that I noticed they had consumed water from the tank. Before, I was adding diluted vineger so often that the water level never did drop.

I've been reading Loc Nar's post about his first grow, really makes me want to get an HPS light for flowering. I wish I could get him to come up here and help me with the wiring I looked at the breaker box and it's pretty much right below my grow closet and has alot of room for expansion. But, electricity scares the hell out of me. One of my buddy's was telling me how to do it and how easy it is to run a wire from the box to an outlet but I'm leary of doing it myself. If I want to run AC this summer it's going to have to be done, and if I do that I may as well run one for a good light too.

Well, thanks again. I'm going to go do some more reading.

Dude wish I could be there to help. I like doing electric, I have been shocked at least a 1000 times but nothing deadly hot. Kind of gives you an energy buzz. LOL. Maybe you can get your friend to help but then he will want some too. LOL

[latewood]

I wire my own. I would suggest you plug your light into a wall receptacle...If you don't know what you are doing with electricity, you could burn the house down!

That's my problem. The whole upstairs is on one breaker. I'd like to get my room and office on their own breaker. Not just for growing, but AC would be nice this summer and as a computer programmer, I've lost several hours of work when the breaker has tripped in the past because my son was running a shop vac in his room. I'd say two things that draw alot of juice running at the same time upstairs will trip it every time. With all the empty spots for breakers in the box, I can't imagine why they would've put the whole upstairs on one breaker.

[RoboGro]

Oh Man! I just checked the roots, and they are sprouting from EVERY WHERE!

I'm down to just the two of them but they are really starting to get me excited about the future.

I wonder if it could have been the superthrive or just their time to shine?
