Micro ebb and flow.(Feed: every 12 hours for 5 min,rockwool above the water level) Lights:Hydro farm 125W (6400K) CFL system.(18/6) Lights:2 EcoSmart 27W full spectrum (5500K) bulbs. Nutrients: Technaflora recipe for success starter kit . Plants(seeds):Unknown (2 plants with reflectix cup covers are 10 days old,one with out cover 5 days old)
Hydroton in the cups is still slightly moist after 12 hours time period.Also there is a level of moist hydroton on the bottom (underneath the cups ) which is always moist from some water left on the very bottom of container from the previous feed.So far so good,when plants get bigger then I guess I'll have to raise my feeding time from 5 min to 10 min , or may be even feed my plants few more times a day. If anybody has any suggestions (experience with ebb and flow ,and positive results) you are welcome to share it.I'll be glad to expend my knowledge. Thank you guys.
Looking Great man , I'd love to go Hydro ... I don't know anything about It other than ... No soil Lmfao ! & More chem's ? I guess I'll have a go with It sometime when I can afford It anyway ... Then again I've seen some Interesting Threads on how to build your own DWC system ? > not to sure what I'm saying I know It means Deep water Culture ... Thats about It really lol I'll be watching this 1 for sure , I'd like to see how quicker the plant grows In your Ebb n flow ...
Day 11 and day 6 (for "uncovered plant") Two covered plants are switched places. I am thinking about start feeding them every 8 hours for 5 min.Nutrients at this moment are half of what it should be,but plants are getting stronger and bigger (2" tall at this moment) so increasing the dosage to normal level should be ok.
I have two hydrometers, one (one the top of the black bucket is showing 16-20% one on the bottom around 40% so I would say probably humidity is about 20% or so. I nedd to get my self a small humidifier to run it higher. I have two cups of water standing behind ebb and flow container but it does not make any significant difference...
Day 12 and 7-(for small plant). Still flooding every 12 hours for 5 min with "half strong" nutrients .
Thanks. Tomorrow I am going to switch on full dosage of nutrients and flooding every 8 hours for 5 min.
Day 15. Topped off one of the plants. Humidity is low around 20%, 2 other plants are far behind this one. I need to get a humidifier...I do not know if any of those are females ,I hope the big one is,but time will show..
