Yeah I am getting sick of all the soil, hence my trying to use smaller bags. This run I used 8g's and did a dozen testers in 2 g bags...
What the hell...I'll give it a go. Now to figure out what to buy!

1/2 of my last crop was a successful 6 week veg and flower in 2 gal bags.
My natural gas heating bill doubled last month and I used nothing more than the usual amount. I guess all our LNG is going elsewhere. It's starting to look like my electrical bill, ok 1/2 my electric.
I think you and @lokie have a much larger area than I do. I barely spend any time in veg and flip as soon as I see alternating nodes.
If you're not in a rush have you considered running 12/12 from seed?
Would that even work? I assumed they'd get all stretchy until they were sexually mature.
Nope they won't stretch from that. But they will slow growth down a little. I'm not sure how much. I think it would be worth a try. I hate changing my timers.
Gotta get one that lets you run multiple schedules. Mine seems to drift by about five minutes by the time the grow is over, it would be nice if it connected to wifi to synchronize time. I may throw a seedling in when I switch to flower to see what happens. My first grow I flipped to 12/12 too early and they stretched like a mofo. Could have been a million other things too.

I've been studying Blumats...I think I am going to try a gravity loop setup, and keep a smaller res. just in case it floods. Like a 32 gallon trash can which is what I use for my RO setup. That should last a week with 8 plants I would think.
One question...If your res runs dry, do you have to completely re-set everything up, or can you just bleed it out. I'm doing a loop, which they say is better. I'll save my other drip set-up for outdoors....Maybe. I just use the sprinkler usually.

I'm looking at 2 setups with quick connect valves, probably the second one is more practical for pots, 2 carrots per 5gal pot.
I can add or take a section out if needed. First one looks like more tees and and harder to purge for pots.
The crossover at the top of the loop equalizes supply line pressure to the carrots, but not required if 2 supply line lengths and heights are equal.
(Also second supply path if the first is obstructed)

You’re going to the wrong store yo.
Finally got a PT appointment for my shoulder and of course it's no longer hurting.
