First off.

Does anybody have a suggestion on the question I asked?

Second,

what extra steps? I'm running sub irrigation planters that recircuIate so that I don't have to sit there and guess if my water levels are right. Just have a pump on a timer that turns on twice a day. Fills the trays to the exact water level i need.

Of course thre are more steps here because I'm trying to automate my grow.

I just added a float valve and 30 gallon reservoir so now I only fill that 30 gallon reservoir.

Essentially I could put my plants into flower and never go in the room until I'm ready to check for harvest Time.

Extra work, no.
More work now, to do less later, yes.

BTW

The very definition of Hydroponics specifically removes soil from plant growing.

Sounds like you've got it all figured out, my man. How could anyone possibly help you?

Seriously, though... you should probably just buy weed. It'll save you A LOT of money.

HPS yeilds slightly more than MH when used in flowering. MH (in my experience) when used in flower gives nicer tasting/ frostier buds.

And I have to agree with the confusion on the soil/ hydro combo. It's like you are reaping the drawbacks from both mediums, while only gaining the advantage of not having to water your plants. The buds look really small for what I would expect running 1000's so close to the plants. Couldn't you just set up a drip watering system to water the plants a couple times a day and save the whole recirculating system? IDK, just seems like there's lots of ways things could go wrong with this setup for very little return.

Scrapping the whole idea of automating a soil grow would be better, but at least you wouldn't drown your roots and turn them to mush with a drip system. Well.... YOU (iliketolearn -IRONIC NAME, BTW) might anyway, considering what you've come up with so far... but it would be easier to avoid.

I have always run a mix in my vertical tower. 1hps 1 cmh or mh. I am changing now to 2 x cmh.

this is my experimental banana kush in fox farm ocean forest, blended with coco coir, worm casings and perlite in a 15 gal grow bag and i make collars out of old molasees tubs to hold the edges up and make watering easier.
also i cut a hole in the bottom of this 72” high tent to accomodate my poor planning.
the growbag is sitting on a 12.5” bonsai turntable i bought off amazon for ten bucks.
makes watering, maintenance easier.
i used some leftover fiberglass electric fence stakes and stretch some 6x6 trellis in there somewhere.
plus my experiment is, i have this viparspectra xs1500 overhead pulling 150 watts, the xs1000 is pulling 120 and the mrhua all red ufo i think is around 90 watts(idk if it does anything or not).
was feeding gh trio but just switched to tiger bloom, worm juice and molasses for it’s next 4 weeks.
i’ll let u know next month what the yield is.
in solventless decarboxylated cannabis flower extract.
i’ll weigh the first cure flowers too.
if i were to chop this whole plant at once,
using the turntable and a stool, i wet trim the plant right in it’s pot, under these new lights that i love!
made trimming so much easier.
then i clip off the branches and hang for about three days before i snip the full flowers off into a ardent nova for decarboxylation.
the i cure in jars until 70-75rh and squash.
if anybody has an easier way for me to make solventless decarboxylated cannabis flower extract, i’m all ears.
i’m all about trichomes for the least amount of my energy and the power company.
i’ve found that for myself, to be acclimated to 1600mgs daily, consistency is the key.
i split the doses into 4/400mg and if one is a little bigger, look out, very uncomfortable and i’ve been doing well over a gram average now for 7 plus years.
it works!

Hey bud,
Where'd you get the Banana Kush? I grew it a couple times from a friend who had a cut. It was my favorite strain ever (i think). Super frosty and a great high.

ilgm.
i don't smoke, i just squash ardent nova decarboxylated non grounded up flowers, and melt that and suck it up into syringes and then capsules for swallowing.
i know if i stick my head in a banana kush tent flowering, i think because of the high levels of thc in my system, it's so mediciny smelling, i get a little nauseated.
suppose to be very high thc.
in my state, the only people that can use labs are dispensaries or growers, i think.
kinda bad for the consumer.

smoking strain, the lsd from ilgm is the sweetest, like perfume smelling strain ever.
i gave some properly cured joints to some friends that probably never smoked properly cured cannabis, and they raved about it.
i ordered some more just because i like the smell while growing and it's easy to grow.

These are of an old grow but this is what my vert looked like with two 600s in cooltubes, centered in a 5'x5'x7'H room. I want to go back to vert but for some reason haven't and I'm not sure why, hmmm....
I have two tents connected together right now with a lght rail inside and have been thinking about selling my RDWC to build two verticals inside the tents. I miss vertical grows.

This is a sick set up I love the reflectors? Is that metal or laminate? And some plants are on a Clear Shelf?? I love that never thought to use strong plastics for building in a nice grow room like yours for year round production in only a smallish area!
Great picks of your verticals too. I’m a new groomer and decided I had to top mine for neighbour reasons as it’s outdoors. But happy flowering as we speak 3 weeks in about to dose a nice PotashPlus with a very lite dose of Powerfeed (I’d use better nutes if I was more prepared this was the best I could get at time and knowledge) the Powerfeed is high in nitrogen’s blunt has a lot of great macros that the plant will or is used to eating or having in the Soil etc. had rain for 1 day and then wet from nearly dry.. was going to feed now over due but I read today rain before a feed or a day before is GOOD as the roots are cleared for maximum absorption? Just waiting for the sun to fall behind the back side of my plants and shade then I’ll feed.
I plan on using like 1.5ml Potash Plus In 1lt which is recommended water down or its 10-20ml for 10 litre first dose gave 1.5ml per 1lt and it was just enough or a litre to much just… as I noticed tiny signs of potassium burn or over feed with new and tiny leaves on buds and the bud hairs getting dark at their tips compared to before I fed it.
Anyway if you can help me in anyway I also will add Powerfeed BUT low dose of about 0.3-0.5ml in 1lt /per plant, which for reference the standard high dose is of power feed is30ml to 9lt or 3ml in 900ml. Which I gave most of veg dropped it as soon as saw budlets to half then 1/4 which and now it will be 1/10th or 1/7th of what it used to get on full doses. And don’t want to cull nitrogen all together as I know flowers need it and the PF has great macro nutes and seaweed and other sea life or bio whatever. And it has good potassium and Phosphorus which means I don’t have to give as much Potash Plus. Which is 2/14 P/K where Powerfeed is 14% / 1.7% / 7.8% NPK. So for my understanding what is the NPK ratio? Like is it 14/1.7/7.8 or do you correct the math so it’s a whole figure?

Sorry I know long post I’m just trying to figure things out on the go. Being first time.
