Hiya...no I don't. I wait til I have plenty of roots coming out my 4" blocks. I only dip the bottom half of the block in a solution of formulex and sit them on the tray with out spreader for a couple of weeks in my veg tent and let them dry out to about 75% then dip em again til nice white fluffy roots come out. Then I'll lay out the spreader Matt and run the pump once a day til blocks are wet but not soaked. Once they go on the flower tray I run the pump on a staggered timer say 15 mins every 4 odd hours. This way the blocks won't get saturated (depending summer/winter) You must have plenty of roots first. It is an absolute must!!! Did you pre soak your rockwool in 5.5 ph'd water for an hour or so? They have a lime content that needs flushing out. If not it will turn young plants yellow!! Make sure your water is not freezing or you stun the roots. Happy growing....need any tips just ask :-)

@ThatoneAKguy, yeah that's sounds good...you dont want the rookwool sitting in stagnant water... Your feeding tubes will be fine this crop but you'll find that they will block up eventually with a salt and fur build up inside because of the light exposure. Cut a tube open when u finished a crop and you will see what I mean. I don't use dripper/feeding tubes purely for this reason. The tray and rez i use i clean and scrub after EVERY crop and the pump, then reuse My trays are still squeaky clean after all these years of use. Some trays and rez I've seen are disgusting because of a salt and scum build up and people wonder why they have problems. Each crop I hardly buy anything as I have a roll of spreader matt and food left over which does plenty of crops....sod buying God knows how many bags of soil and getting rid of it everytime....I just roll up a root Matt at the end and chuck it in the bin. In my area you someimes you see dumped soil on the side of the road where people cant get rid of it in the local tip because it is suspect 😂

@@hydrohippy, I’ve been thankfully going through your diaries and we touched on the matting you use. I had planned to follow the way my buddy does it but I’m open to suggestions. I have a bpa free rubber made tote that I’ve installed a through hull fitting for a drain. I have a 1.5” tall rack that I was planning on setting a rockwool slab on and through cut holes in the lid placing the cubes on top of. My plan is also to a use drip tray feeding system through the top and that way with the rack my rock wool will never be in standing water. I have two feeding tubes per cube on separate pumps from a 4-6 gallon res that way if one fails I’ll still have a working tube. What do you think?

@Eyeduno, yeah the fuckers all but one have hit the top of the tent...I have bent them all over many times and the cunts keep reaching for the stars. The one you can see hitting the top was bent over again today but it'll bend back up by the morning. Rule of thumb is plants grow 3 times there height once in flowering...haha not these fuckers

have you tried grow cube caps for algea and i dont remove the sleeves on the cubes as this help stop algea and slows drying of cubes also directs roots down at the sides and keeps them moist.

✋Hi! I just bought an NFT system for my next grow! Do you run the water pump constatly from the beggining of rockwool placing in the system or what?

@Astrolavos, Also don't feed by the recommend dose on what ever food u are using. You will over feed them and burn the roots . I have used canna aqua for recirculation systems for years with no problems

from experience ive found highly reflective sheets on more than 1 wall a problem, especially with hps, created heat spots from reflecting light beams going backwards and forwards from wall too wall. i ended up with 1 reflecting but the rest covered in a matt mylar type sheet. great roots you have btw

i m topping when this happen mid flow, may be i should try hst, i noticed slighty less bud but much more dense doing so, would be interesting to compare
HerbalEdu
HerbalEducommented6 years ago
@@hydrohippy, same week 4 into flo is my limit for topping as stretch is usually finished weeks 5 for me, and not topping more than 3 4 level max when they are baby like. But hst seem to give slighty better result, gonna try that next time.
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@HerbalEdu, I had to hst the shit out of them which just made them go even more mental...I wouldn't top to far into flowering. The idea of topping is to push the side branches out more quicker...I would top in veg if the plant was growing up to fast with no side branches....I didn't read up on how tall they could grow
