  1. hows it going everyone im in desperate need of some advice, been reading on here over a year now and havent needed to post because its pretty well covered on here but here i go. Ive always grown in soil but ive set up my first iws flood and drain. I had heavily rooted cuttings which i out in the system and hand fed from the top for a couple of weeks. The problem (or impatients you decide) is that ive got roots galore most just starting to come out the bottom of the inner pots and seem to have pretty much filled a lot of the pot but im not seeing anything near the growth id expect, i mean theyve grown probably an inch and theyve been in there nearly three weeks. Temperatures, air circulation are fine as is humidity. Ive got 3x 600w lights about 30 inches from them which was further away untill last week but i think theyre ok with it. Ive got an ec of 1.0 using vitalike coir, some root bloom (the yellow australian one) some enzyme stuff cant remember the name and a touch of silicone. Ph 5.8 rea temp about 23 which i realise could be a touch lower but i dont think thats the cause? Im flooding once a day now halfway theough light ls on and the pots seem to stay quite heavy untill next flood but i think coco always stays semi moist? So im not sure if it could be under or over watering possibly, ill post pictures later but basically theyre all green and healthy looking bushy 7inch cuttings. Erm what else i think thats about it good intake outake so im stuck basically loads of roots no growth but it feels like its been long enough for them to have kicked off by now but maybe not as i said first time in iws any help would be massiveeeelyyyy appreciated man im sure you know what this sinking feeling is like. Thanks in advance peopl
