Preemption Is The Best Policy - Hydro

[aprosjat]

Guys ,

My Girls are starting the flowering process now in soil and I am already thinking about my next grow, I ordered some White Widow ( 3 seeds ) and have already 3 Purple bud Feminised seeds from a previous purchase. I want to try the hydro grow as I have never done that before.

I was thinking about buying the Atami Wilma 2, 4 Pot Complete Dripper System Grow Kit for the grow and any advise would be appreciated.

I will start the seeds in rock wool and will complete the grow in clay pebbles , the system comes with a small pump that feeds a drip to each plant.

I will plant 2 x Purple Bud Feminised and 2 x White Widows Feminised.

As I found that planting the same strain in all pots , when smoking I tended to build up a resistance to a single strain, so decided to mix a bit.

All advise good or bad will be appreciated...look forward to hearing from you all ...

Well first off, it's spelled "advice," and my one piece of it is to skip the rock wool, which can smother a small plant if it's too wet, and in any case is made of nasty, asbestos-like mineral fibers that are bad to breathe. Try a grow plug, or believe it or not, you can actually just plant a seeding right into the clay balls if you keep them wet. One more suggestion: the pH Perfect line from Advanced Nutrients will give you more stable pH. Good luck and have fun.

I tried the rockwool as well with bad results. Rooter pods did amazing in comparison so I also suggest pods. If you must use rockwool, cut it down the center completely and use a toothpick to help keep it closed if u need the toothpick. This gives your root a path to follow that is easy for the roots to fill and helped avoid the root rotting in my case. In the end I switched to rooter pods

If your handy with some tools build your own system that one looks a little close together to me but I top a lot get the dimensions and draw it out on the floor or something to see if it would work for you when I was looking at different things I was surprised how small some was check out the diy section saves a lot of money for nutrients and fans lol

I did i bit of research online relating to the rooter pods and there seems to have been a bad batch that came out that killed a lot of peoples plants , there is not much variety in the UK at the moment , more research required , more suggestions Please...
