New Grow Room Pictures, almost done!!!

[theloadeddragon]

do you have a ppm meter?

 

[SonomaComa]

I do but it broke a few weeks back, so i havent been able to use one for awhile

gonnna get one before next grow for sure

 

[bterz]

PPM in soil is over-rated, imo, but I still want one

After I finish my soil run and maybe one more, im going to switch to ebb&flo and coco. I've seen some crazy impressive things from that stuff and I know someone who swears by it, as they have tried everything, including rw, aero, soil, all kinds of stuff.

Sonoma, I cant wait to see some harvest photos.

PPM in soil seems a tad bit unnecessary to me..

 

[SonomaComa]

yea but i still like to know what ppm im at

 

[getwrecked]

Im sure its better to have it, I just wouldn't wanna waste the cash on it.

 

[theloadeddragon]

its not necessary, but can be helpful. You don't need it to grow, but once you've gotten a decent number of grows done, shouldn't be hard to afford one with the money you save from not buying meds, and it is nice to be able to check were you to need/want to.

 

[SonomaComa]

yea im gonna get a new one soon, ill be switchin to hydro soon so ill need one anyway

 

[getwrecked]

yeah, its true that it can be helpful...I just know how much more forgiving soil is rather than hydro. Ive never had a problem without one personally but perhaps one day ill get one for the heck of it.

 

[theloadeddragon]

Id take soil over hydro almost any day..... accept the day I decided to start growing hydro???? LOL

 

[getwrecked]

I plan on doing a vertical hydro grow eventually, but not any time soon. But one day I will for sure, Id like to be in complete control of my babies, I wanna do a vertical pvc pipe grow like one I had seen on here, with like 100 plants.

 

[SonomaComa]

yea im still not 100% sure about goin completely hydro, i might stick to coco coir, and do a huge SOG, but im just so over cleaning the soil or coco that has blown around because of the fans, and its easier to get bugs with soil, and also with hydro u can leave for a few days if you need to and let the pumps do the watering, but you would be screwd if the pumps went out... the debate can go on forever

 

[theloadeddragon]

it can..... safer bet is ALWAYS soil. Easier faster is almost ALWAYS hydro. Coco is good...... tons of perlite makes it better

 

[djmendoza21]

hydro weight soil flavor!!!

 

[theloadeddragon]

right, and the stink is somewhere in between.......

 

[bterz]

Is it a FACT that hydro yields better then soil? There are to many variables to tell, imo. So far i love my soil, but i'd like to try coco. Won't be using RW cubes in the near future, either.

 

[theloadeddragon]

Uh..... soil yields better per plant...... hydro yields better faster and repetitively. (you could probably grow monsters in hydro under the right circumstances, but it would use lots of lights!)

ya im really confused someone should do a test side by side maybe?
I'm currently working on a 6'x'6'x8' with two 4'x2' Botanicare trays, Daystar ac 1kwatt hood, subcool super soil sorta mix, 2 10gl pots in each tray.

 

[SonomaComa]

they have been hundreds of tests just look around, and that set-up sounds nice, how long do u plan on veggin with hose 10 gal pots?

im making a custom drip system for my room, and im switching to 100% rockwool, with 6in" cubes and slabs, its gonna be sweet, ill post pics soon

i have also harvested 5 plants and will post some pics from those soon also, just been really busy trying to get the room ready for next time around, im trying to harvest again before reggae rising which is july 31 to aug 2, so i can have a good time there haha

Bay Area? The strains your growing resemble the types theyre selling at the clubs in sf. I've bought each other your strains from the same club.

Edit: Sorry, not all your strains. (Didn't get to read that 22 strains in one room till now) But for clones you had, purple princess og kush, blue dream, etc.
