Thanks for the info everyone! I think hydroton looks like the winner!

Hello guys. I am trying to understand the best way to setup a coco ebb and flow system. I have not been able to find any great information on this. The plants need to be in individual pots so that they can be easily moved. What is the best way to make a coco setup? From what I understand...

Thanks for the reply Thundercat. The setup would harvest 16 plants every two weeks, not once every eight weeks. So it would take about 3 hours to clean after every harvest? Is hydroton considered a more forgiving medium than rockwool or coco. This would also be an important fact to consider.

OK thanks. There would be no heat issues so I think HID is the best choice for now. So is a 250w hps ok for a 2x2 area? As I showed earlier, this would still give you 62.5 watts per square foot, which is generally considered ideal. Any opinions on if this ok or not?

Thanks for the opinions everyone. So for anyone who has used hydroton, how long do you think it would take to clean 16 6" pots? Veg time would be about two weeks not counting the veg period that it goes through after switching to 12/12. The 4" rockwool cubes are only about a dollar. Anyone...

Hello everyone. I am looking for the best ebb and flow medium for a sog grow. The grow would be a perpetual sog with 6" square pots so they must be able to move from tray to tray. So basically there are a few different factors that I think are important for the best grow medium. 1)...

There would be plenty of room height wise.

Also for the 2x2 space do you think a 400w is overkill? I thought that optimal lighting was 50-75 watts per square foot. A 400w would be 100 watts per square foot. If a 250w was used it would be 62.5 which would be about perfect. And the grow would be SOG so not as much light penetration...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I had not even considered led lighting. I think that hid would be better given how there are many differing opinions of led lighting (and that it is twice as expensive). Although, I would still be open to that option if it is an overwhelming majority of...

Hello everyone. What is the most efficient way to light a 2x2 area? And what is the most efficient way to light a 2x4 area? The grow style would be SOG on 2 2x2 trays and one 2x4 trays. Maybe two 250w hps for the 2x2 trays and one 400w for the 2x4 tray would be the most efficient. Heat...

Hello forum. I know there is not an exact answer to this question but any help is appreciated. If one is looking for more quantity over quality, when is an ok time to harvest? That is, what ratio of orange/white pistils will tell you when the buds have stopped acquiring mass? Harvesting...

Hello everyone. I am trying to setup a nice grow room and would like some help. So the dimensions for the room are 2' (width) x 10' (length) [I have a little extra space this way if needed] x 7' (height). I am trying to figure out how to set up a perpetual sog (ebb and flow). But since the...

Yes definitely make drainage holes on the bottom. If you are using good soil, go ahead and soak it all the way through. If not, maybe just try to soak some of it. Try adding perlite if you have bad soil.

I started a thread about this exact thing about a month ago. I left my plants for about 6 days without watering them. Obviously those are not ideal conditions, but the plants were fine when I got back. They were just very droopy.

Cool guys. I agree with everyone's advice so far. @ slipon - That looks like a great first grow! With 8 weeks veg I am surprised that they were not larger though. What light did you have in there? Anyways, looking forward to more first grow experiences!

I will start. I currently have 9 black widows in flowering (plus 3 freebie females) under a 1000w. Everything is going pretty well so far. Although I am not qualified to give advice yet, I would recommend keeping things as simple as you can for your first grow. Make sure that you don't...

Hello everyone. I thought it would be a good idea to collect people's experiences on their first grow. Just add anything that you feel would be relevant to a new grower that is reading on the forum. Include things about any problems you have had or anything to watch out for. Be sure to add...

Hello forum, I am currently on my first grow of 12 black widows in soil. Everything is going well enough. I was not really sure where to post this, as I have a few questions. Anyways, I am looking to setup a perpetual grow system. I am going to be growing Chronic from Serious seeds in ebb...

How strong is the smell? Isn't critical mixed with skunk? So does that make it smell very strong while growing?

Can someone who has grown critical +, critical mass, big bud, or nl comment on the smell while growing? Also if anyone has grown any of the first three and nl, how do the yields compare?
