Thanks for the help..... How long do u think I should wait before I should cut the mother plant to begin the cloning process
thanks that really I helped I appreciate it
I plan on using a dwc system probably with 2 18 gal res or 3 if they can fit..... How many plants do u think would b a good amount to grow in that size tent
from experience bro..thats alot of water to deal with and its a pain in the ass to be honest, especially if u clean ur rez regularly. ill never do it again.. but if ur dead set on goin that route i wouldnt do more then 4 in each tote(depending on how long u veg) in 3.75"-6" net pots... the weight of ur medium(i assume hydroton but correct me if im wrong) is gonna weigh down the center of the lid..and with the amt of water in ur totes the sides r gonna bulge as well so zip tie ur lid and walls together atleast twice on each longer side lip to keep ur lid from poppin off unexpectedly and creating more of a headache.
lol I'm actually dealing wit the sides opening now on the grow that I'm doing now lol... And I was gonna use hydroton to.... U think smaller totes or soil would b best???
how many plants do u have? id use 5 gallon bucket DWC if u only have a few.. put em all in seperate buckets. it might require more air pumps n stones tho depending on how many buckets u need and how many pumps/stones u already have.. 1 dual outlet pump will run 2 buckets with a 6"airstone bar in each. make sure to rinse ur hydroton til the water runs clear so u dont wind up with murky reddish brown water in ur res... ebb and flow (or flood n drain) hydro works great with numerous plants(thats y i keep mentioning it). its easy to setup and maintain and it will work with some of the components u already have(hydroton, net pots n air pump/stones) but u will need a few more items.. look up mr.green on youtube.. perfect tutorial IMO.. seems like im tryin to get u away from dwc but thats not the case.. i just dont think the tote method is the best way to go about it. its your grow man and do as u please.. just offering a little insight from previous experience.. hope it helps
im growing 4 plants now in 2 totes 2 plants and I have 2 air stones in each tote i got a pump right now that allows me to use 4 airstones... I was thinking bout using the ebb and flow system first but i heard the dwc is the easiest and i wanted to get the basics down pack... Would you say the ebb and flow is easier then the DWC and will it yield more and better buds??? I appreciate the time you are taking spreading the knowledge that you have because some people come on here to be smart asses rather then give help... Also do you think Advanced Nutes sensi perfect ph is a good nute to use because the nute i was using before advanced nutes didnt work for me so im trying to see which nutes would be best
youre welcome bro, just wanna see another man succeed with the most beautiful plants on earth..As far as the nutes go.. i have no experience with AN.. im a cheap ass and usually just get the cheap ole starter kits like technaflora and my hydro shop gave me a hollands secret starter kit as well so i havent really ventured into the land of nutes. ive read that the ph perfect is an advertising scheme and the ph still needed adjusting from time to time. one thing i have found is that if u wanna try different nutes, contact the manufacturer by email and ask for samples of grow n bloom or any other product they make.. botanicare sent me 5 250ml bottles of their grow and bloom and also a pure blend i think it was but havent used em yet.. and a cpl other companies sent me some samples as well.. worth the emails for sure
