This will be my 2nd grow. I was taught by someone that ended up my friend but that man is so busy with all his projects and life that he hasn't even had the time in about 1 year to help me going thru the whole process step by step. But here he goes I'm going to break down how my set up from: ez cloner --> 50's / 4 inch rock wool cubes --> then place the 4 inch cube into a 5 gallon smart pot 2 part coco 1 part perlite. In a 4x4 tent on a tray that drains out 1000 watt and air is blowing everywhere and is getting fresh and exhaust and i will not be running co2. And ac is connected if needed. I just wanted to know will that work the CUBE on top of the coco pot maybe like 2 inches deep in it or one just to get it a snug in there.

but the real reason im here is the feeding part. How often? When to flush? like weekly flushes how often to water? those are the things i need to know. I know about checking run offs and stuff like that. Phing ppms humidity all that good stuff now i need to get the feeding down and then i can move on to learning more stuff theres so much to learn im going nuts :P so if you guys can help me in any way or give me tips that would be awesome. I hope this thread builds up maybe others can benefit from this post or maybe theres one already. Ok i gota go work now but i see roots on my girls on the ez cloner so im going to have to jump start this sooooon. I have all my foods for them ladies too its just how to feed them ;( im new bare with me thanks for your time have a good one!:mrgreen: :confused:

ii grow in a similar fashion just a bit bigger and on flood tables. If your growing from clone start feeding right away at about 1/2 strenght then up it to full power over a couple weeks. I'm able to floob mine 2-3 times a day you could probably do once a day.flushing is an option i flush once mid flower and then the final week thats it. good luck hope that gives you enough to get started

I was planning on hand watering a tray full of medium now. Instead of smart pots. I'm using 4x4 trays and filling it all the way with coco/perlite. instead of 4 ima use 3 inche rockwool now then transfer them into the bed of coco in the 4x4. and one 1000 per 4x4 ima have about 20-26 tables. Should pull about 1.5-2+ per light with the feeding and stuff this guy has taught me. Cause my other grows i got 2 with no AC and no CO2 lol so a noobie grower can do it. I just half assed it and didnt listen to well :P Thanks for the info mrduke. Ill try to update this into a blog or something or start a new grow but stuffs already been going so and i dont have a camera to take pictures :P

you check run off in everything. As i was taught. Check p.h. and ppm. If ppm's are to high then add water to rez or flush till it reads what u want. If its to low bump up stuff 1ml + or more per gal or whatever size your mixing in. I hope this helps I aint a pro and i dont know if this is 100% good info im giving u but its what i was taught. Someone correct me if im wrong :)
