I built a hydro unit with 8 mesh 4" mesh pots. It's arranged with 2 in each of 4 Sterilite totes (I think they have about 3 gallons a piece). I have them all plumbed together so that you fill the first from the res, which dumps into the second.... then back to the res. The total volume is roughly 10 gallons. The water pump recircs the nutrient 10 minutes every 2 hours. I have 6" airstones in each.
So, all that, and a 400W HPS--24 hours. I have the clones going but have a few problems. Two of the clones have fan leaves that REALLY curl under on the ends. I'm using 2/3 strength Dutch Masters and DI water. I don't think it ought to be nitrogen deficiency (like in the troubleshooting sticky).
That, and the plants are taking FOREVER to grow. They look healthy, but I'm on almost 10 days to go from rooted clones (about 3") up to the screen, about 10" up. When I grew this very same in soil, they shot right up.
The roots look great--long and pure white, the leaf color is nice and dark green. I was hoping to veg them out fairly quick, into the ScROG screen then flower. Now, I don't know.
hope I doped out how to get photos up here
