what'r u do'n?... going hydro now?... ok... whatever u want, but I would have stuck with the dirt. it's easier to grow in dirt, and you are having troubles with that... but... I'm sure these guys can tell you what to do.

I don't know a thing about hydro myself - it's altogether different than growing in dirt... and I'd say - harder to learn correctly.

but... good luck on it. - and give that transplant a cup of water dumped at the stem. read - PH balanced water to 6.5

good luck:farm:

oh ya... check out the series I Grow Chronic on YouTube... 9 part series on hydroponic growing setup. not bad.
 
well my hydro plant is doin good it seems to be takin good im hand watterin the nute mix onto the plant for the first 10 days i got the ph at 5.9 thehydroton seems to dry out pretty fast with the hand waterin but i was told the moisture goes in to the little holes inside the hydroton and the roots will seek that out, im hand waterin about 3 times a day will post picks in a copple days when i can notice some good growth

for what its worth,i keep hearing how hard hydro is...i did some reading,set up a system,on my third grow now with no ph/nute problems yet. i spend ten minutes a day in my room and sometimes have to invent stuff to do. the only headache is changin out rez every 10 days and thats not bad.
i dont know a thing about dirt,so this this is my biased opinion.
best of luck and happy trails
 
hydro(deep water culture) is pretty simple, it just takes more time and effort than soil, but i've also seen some pretty amazing results with hydro, you'll like if u got the patients and time. lol the infamous bubbler, how much that cost u? 30-50 bucks full setup?

59 bucks for everthing nutes,pump,and all hydroton
 
Waterfarms rock!, you can also chain more together later or add a remote rez.
The growth rate ive seen in these in nothing short of phenomenal.

You can count on it! just pick up a cheap PPM and PH meter like we talked about. here is a cheap one.
Are you going to start a seperate grow journal for your waterfarm?

yer just starting to realize how much FUN this is, rn't u now tom, eh? LOL
 
I agree that the drip rocks. I have 5 and think they are very easy. Hydro is easy if you do your homework, and MUCH cleaner. Good luck hope it works out for you I think you will be surprised
