I'm not into the whole hydro thing really, I just prefer organic soil. I've personally seen some really incredible results from d.w.c. though. What strains are you thinking about growing next time? I could refer alot of different strains but we all like different stuff and the best way of finding a great strain is to grow alot of different ones. That's also alot of the fun of growing your own, variety!If I were you I would look into a SCRog or Sog and really maximize your space and those fluoros, not that you didn't it's just i've seen some incredible results with those teq's lately under fluoros. B.T.W. what kind are you working with? It looks like a T5 rig of some kind cause it looks flat from the pics, but I could be wrong. I just picked up a Sunleaves Pioneer VIII last weekend to veg all my girls under in a second spot and not my tent anymore. I had a killer spot at my old house but had to move and now am getting equipment again and kind of starting over. Oh well, I now have the T5's set up and I have to say the girls are loving it. I was taking some pics and I noticed there were little lines in the pics some and it don't do that with my 600W digi ballast. I like that I can just put a 12 inch oscilating fan down on them with another little fan blowing in fresh air to the spot and they are all happy and vegging away. I can also just put some seeds in cups in my vented dome and just leave them under the fixture and they are the perfect temp in there and I think will be just fine. One of the people I've seen have great success lately is a person name Stoneslacker. I would look up his hempy scrog grow and check out what he is doing with that net. I never worried about height that much when I was growing inside before except for topping and such to bush my plants out. I have recently started working with something called main-lining, I have to say I was doing something to this effect when I moved and ran into a vertical challenge for me of about 68 inches due to having to grow in a tent now. I have a slightly larger space to veg so I can have all my clones and seedlings and vegging plants in one place to make it easier for me. I am able to flower about 5 plants at a time that are pretty good bushes in my flower area using my chopped together technique. I am still learning the best way to get a maximum return in my area in the shortest amount of time, but I like the expirementing, keeps it interesting. I have a Skunk#1 in a 7 gal container that is going to return really nice, but it took almost 2 months to get it into the bush that I wanted so it can take a while and it can get busy in your veg room and crowded as well, but the benefits of putting a fully mature plant into flower is worth it. I just think the quality of a flower that was vegged for 2 months and one that went right into 12/12 is quite different or at least can be. I have an Iced Grapefruit in flower as well and I only vegged her for a month and I will bet you the Skunk#1 or the other plant I have in veg that is as old as she is will have a mucher better effect to her and also a more complex aroma and taste. I just think with the extra veg time all the oils and terpenes that the plant can produce have all the time needed to develop fully. I might be wrong but it really seems to make a difference to me. As far as the SCRog goes I think you can achieve the same result working with your plants tieing them and doing quite a bit of lst and also using a tomato cage of sorts and tieing to it when your girls start to stretch. I do think it would be more work though. I hope some of this helps you bro. Peace out.
