Yes, the first stage of what media to use next time Is something I'm thinking about. I saw a clay pebble-coco mix somewhere. I shall look into that. The thing is, I'm not rushing to get the plant in hydro until the roots have been air-pruned and bushed up a fair bit. They don't look bad now but I need some media that will let me hand water ok until then. Bit of a scruffy start I think but not unexpected, given my inexperience with DWC..
This is what I'm thinking, with some clay pebbles maybe to loosen it. I shall resume October/November and in the meantime discuss/learn coco from you guys.
There's the churning of bubbles breaking the water surface to deal with as well echoing against the plastic top. I still had another pump to add. I think the tent acts to amplify the noise and also 60L of water and tank vibrating against the floor.sorry to hear this mate, cant you put some sort of material on the floor to dampen the sound? maybe hang the pumps so the dont touch the floor?... good luck with your next grow
I've killed the plant now... maybe in haste but I was annoyed that I wasn't stealthy enough. I'm not desperate for a smoke and the learning is the main driver for me, so no harm done but the loss of a couple of hundred quid in buying stuff I won't use again, like the tank and air pumps.
Thanks, I'll have a look.
I'm going to try a few sound tests but I'm fancying coco-style now even though it might take a bit longer.just food for thought for the future as others have mentioned sound deadening, you could set your tub on egg foam which is inexpensive and sound deadening as well as build a box for your airpump. Heck you could set your tent on top of it and insulate it from the floor . until next journal ..
Autumn in cannabis land.Coco, 70/30 perlite, can buy pre mixed.
These are in 2 gallon buckets.
Id suggest 4-5 gallon at that size.
its hydro for soil lovers and you will still see excellent growth rates on top of that its easier to grow multiple strains as you don't have to concern yourself with harvest times as they are in their own container.
There seems to be more expertise here in coco-style, so that's probably the way to go for me. Just got my Ionic hydro grow. looks Like I'm going to get the coco-version now.
Their are definitely more coco and soil growers here . The hydro side of the forums has always been a little quiet .There seems to be more expertise here in coco-style, so that's probably the way to go for me. Just got my Ionic hydro grow. looks Like I'm going to get the coco-version now.
