Growing a S.O.G. Right Away

Howdy Growmies @Low @Lostgirl @LiesGrows @LunaticYowie @Bunger64 @Bentstick @dbrn32 @Dman1969 @Caligurl @Onelife and anybody I missed who wants to join in. So winters coming, time to grow some indoor.

The earliest seedlings were dropped to sprout on 10/8 . The latest were started on 10/15… these will be run on flow tables with GH nutes, some will find their way into cloth pots but the majority will be run on a fast schedule in a S.O.G. fashion.
I am very excited to have the opportunity to do this . Hope it will be fun and informative for all.
Happy Growing

Yes there was a minimal amount. I was using H202 to help keep the system sterile.

Cool I can use the help LOL I did have a question for you guys I haven’t started using that H2O2 yet and I have Southern AG Garden friendly fungicide on the way. Actually right now I’m still just watering by hand once a day right now. But what’s your guys feelings about the differences between the two?

I use bacteria and peroxide on a rotating schedule. Depending on the goal I’ll alternate 1-2 times a weed or bi weekly. Bacteria gets rid of nutrient build up and gunk. Peroxide gets rid of the rest.

Well it’s going to be especially handy that I have both available. I like the idea of the rotation. Thank you brother low

For sure! The rotation is kinda a balancing act as that peroxide will kill it. But… Bacteria doesn’t kill algae it competes with it.

I usually have such good results with peroxide I kind of hate to mess with a good thing you know what I mean but I’ve heard so much good about the benefits of the bacteria but I’m growing with salts so sterile seems to make sense yeah I’m still not exactly sure what I’m going to do hahaha

Honestly bro, I just use bacteria to aid in keeping the lines clean. :call_me_hand:t3: otherwise peroxide is my go to.

I may leave the southern AG on the shelf for a while. I have problems with the silica clogging up the drippers but I don’t have bacteria problems with the H2O2

My system is so simple. If I have problems with the lines I replace. I think I have about a mile of tubing.

Yeah, they both have their roles. @Budbrother recommended Purple Non Sulfur Bacteria. It’s cheap, mainly used for ponds. Supposed to get rid of muck and build up. I can’t see inside most of my lines, so I just have to assume it’s doing its job. lol. I have 40-50’ of solid lines, can’t replace like that.

Peroxide is def my favorite. I like the bubbles and smoke. I like the visual cues it’s doing something.

I may use the southern AG in whatever cloth pots I end up with. I like my peroxide. Ads oxygen to the water it just does all kinds of good things

Interesting, a few questions for the curious if I may…

What size are your rockwool cubes?

Is it a continuous drip feed to each cube or at timed intervals?

I assume it drains to a reservoir?
