I read the answers. I would look elsewhere for help. Their are very very bad and un educated people here. Alot of internet growers too with no experience.
Jorge Cervantes has great dvds. Things like ph pen, ppm, etc are all fundamentals. If you dont have then your a low end hobbyist. Which is fine. But know you are a low end nobody grower.
Wow bad fucking answers. Please dl or buy some real info, and read more from known growers.
This isnt a shot to you, its to help you because Im reading answers that will fuck you up SOOOOOO bad in hydro. Like... wtf
MedicalMonster, you win the award for the lamest advice of the year.
I assume your some dumb kid trying to appear cool to his peers.
You obviously are not equipped to answer his question, but want to appear as if you actually know something, So you make fun of everyone and than tell him to buy a DVD?
HydroDipper, (and MedicalMonster) while you could grow in a 5 gal bucket, its not such a good idea.
By the time you add your netpot and fill it with water, you are running about 3.5 to 4 gallons.
A thirsty plant can easily drink a gallon in a day, Simple math is, 3.5 - 1= 2.5 gallons.
As such you'll find yourself filling your bucket daily.
You can veg in a 10 gal tote, and move to a 14 or 18 gal tote during flower.
just lift the top from your 10 gal tote and drop it onto the 18 gal tote and your all set to flower.
Of course MM, you knew all this but decided not to tell him.
Perhaps you missed the fact that this is a forum designed to help others.
Of course to help, you have to be equipped to help people, and you are not.
Hydrodipper, if you need more help, ask away.
If you'd like to sit down together to discuss this neighbor, just ask.
