You can trim and still get some benefit. It's best to do it within the first week of flowering in my opinion. Sometimes the stretch will screw you up in places you don't want but you can combat that with a mild LST.

Then why did you start this thread? You clearly had your mind made up from the start. Should've started a thread about stabilizing ph or the basics of hydro instead.

I thought we were talking about building soil? You're talking in circles...

Here's the last bit I'm going to say about this misinformation you have concocted inside your own mind. If you can't stabilize ph in soil, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG! DWC is going to chew you up and spit you out. Just being realistic.

You told me absolutely nothing. That's standard practice. How about amendments, cook time, nutrients during the grow, etc?

I did read it. You have trouble because you run it wrong. You don't want to build soil but you want to manage a res and buckets? Good luck.

First of all, dirt is reusable. You just add more amendments before you replant. PH? If you run organic soil, ph is mostly insignificant. If you want to test the ph of your soil, you test runoff or buy a soil ph meter. You also don't need to flush on soil if you do it right. I assume you're...

Yea. I use General Hydroponics. Any of that will work. It lasts a long time though. The price you pay for your plants... Don't like it ? Grow organic lol.

Sounds good.

I calibrate mine once a month. You can get a cheap bottle of calibration solution.

How strong you feed, how much they eat, how terrible your tap water is, etc lol.

I bought that and my ppm meter at the same time. Under $30 for both. Both work excellent.

That'll fix them up. Most common error is when transplanting. A lot of people don't break the dirt out of the roots. After a month of waterings, the soil is compacted around the roots.

6x6 would be better. Seems like you're not really limited. The bigger the better.

Sounds like your medium is slightly compacted. The water just takes longer to drain away from the roots. Not a big deal. Do you aerate your tea?

You should be alright then. Everything sounds kosher.

Yea, that would be nice. My batteries are 2 years old lol. Still haven't died.

I would at least try to get an oscillating fan in a corner just as a preventative. Unless you can get that intake fan blowing across the canopy. The rest sounds good though.

Your going to need badass ventilation AND circulation though.

25sqft total. 4sqft per plant. As long as you can train them right. It's going to be tight but it's doable.
