Thinking about taking this out of the closet to make a bigger rig.
Maybe I don't need 4lb, what will I need for 3lb?
3 lbs in one grow cycle ........first time out no exp at reading the plant or mixing feed
i do not think it is possible with out using a very large set up to counter the fact u have not done this before (it takes me 1 or 2 grows to learn what the strain likes to get the timing right and the power of the feeding right to even half way max out the plant )
here is how i do it
1 i start the plant off in good soil and let it go natural (no train no pruning) this is my base for the strain (basic feed plan)
2 i start the same strain in mixed up set of soil just for that strain if it needs to hold more water if i need to add calcium ......then the feed plan is altered to increase the lvls i am giving to make the plant bigger (this is mostly timing and applying a base understanding of the feed/micros/stackers ) .......feed is feed it adds something in the base NPK anything else that u are adding to soil would be thought of as a stacker..........i am currently using 4 different product lines and intermixing them to get the best results
3 u repeat it again and again and again fine tuning the plants feed keeping notes of what u use and the ending weight .........with autos with in a year of growing them on a staggered 2 plants every 2 weeks in that year u have run 104 different experiments plus done about 10 different strains giving u base understand of the plant u should pull 4 oz plus off each plant by then unless it is sick or learning a new strain......then u do minimal 3 oz
the power the feed and all breaks down for me to be 1 dollar a day(more if u add stackers) with the plants ending with in 70 days of starting the plants as long as u part with it at 300oz u are in the profit on that first oz
if they ask here it is
1 times for the cost of the plant
2 times for me to double up and make more
3 times for me for the hard work and chance off getting caught
base cost times 3 ........then if the price is to low u want to match what it is going around at so not stepping on toes hence my base 300 price
