| 1. |
Fill reservoir with fresh water adjusting ph to 5.00. Place
4" cubes in reservoir and let soak for 24 hours. |
| 2. |
Place cuttings into pre soaked 4" cubes and load into trays. |
| 3. |
Adjust lamps between 18 to 24 hours. (Your preference).Let plants
spin for 3 to 4 days making sure they do not dry out. |
| 4. |
Fill reservoir 2 way with fresh water and adjust ph between 5.6 - 5.8.
Add nutrients to a reading of 500 ppm. |
| 5. |
On the 4th day or if plants are drying out, flood top reservoir until
the bottom (about 1") of the cube is covered. Adjust the overflow
to that depth. |
| 6. |
Leave the pump on until all trays have passed through. |
| 7. |
After a couple of days, check cubes for roots protruding through the
bottom. |
| 8. |
Check ph in reservoir (between 5.6 - 5.8) and adjust overflow so the
entire cube is flooded. |
| 9. |
Flood every 2nd to 3rd day for approximately 1 week. (average veg time
is 10 days). Switch timer to 12 hours. |
| 10. |
Adjust nutrients to 1000-1200 ppm and flood daily
as lamps turn on.
As plants increase in size, adjust nutrients to compensate.
It is recommended to change reservoir water weekly.
|
| 11. |
You should oxygenate the water with an air stone and pump.You can add
a circulating pump to continuously mix and agitate the nutrient water
mixture. |
| 12. |
Place a fan in the direction of opening and blow across plants to help
C02 movement. |
| 13. |
For optimum light, keep glass tube clean by spraying a glass cleaner
onto a towel and wiping tube. This is best done when lamps are just turning
on or off. |
