Share your Ebb & Flow Flowering Nutrients and Watering Schedule

@ Tstat
I am curious as to why u decided to go with no veg? Some of ur plants might show problems because they haven't matured yet, in my expierance when u take that time from them (1 week to 4 wks depending on ur application.) In that veg is where all the lovely magic happens...... There gentetics are starting to be defined.... Veg. is there for a reason so I would suggest using it..... But it also depends on the grower. The real losey part is the yield, little to zilch. For all the work your going to do I don't see 27 plants producing more than a qp with no other possible problems included (nute burn, o2, lighting issues, bugs & temps).... I am not meaning to knock ur system so please don't take me wrong, I just don't want people to make my same mistakes, I have been doing ebb for a long time and it is very fun to experiment it just sucks because some expieraments are costly Good Luck and any other comments hit me up!

Tsat... just like Ohyeah said, the ability of your plants to grow buds and fend of disease, etc is directly related to their robustness and more specifically, the extent of their root structure. this can only be achieved through a sufficient veg time.

I am by now means a veteran MJ grower but I am a professional biologist and small business owner. As such, before venturing in to growing I did a LOT of research into various methods, veg times, and yields. In general, the longer the veg the higher the yield per plant. Period. In addition, this relationship is not exactly linear. Eg.. every week of veg doesn't equal another 1/2 ounce of dried bud. I see guys flip to fllower immediately and yield paltry results in a quick time frame and I also see people veg for 6 weeks and yield more than a pound per plant.

If you wanted to the yield to time factor, it seems that 4 weeks is about the right veg time but obviously this is way dependent on the strain. The real concern should be..what kind of canopy can my lights penetrate effectively. If you have stronger lights, veg a little longer. If you are only running 250's or something, decrease your veg time. The cost to flower is fairly fixed at 7-8 weeks of 18 hours a day. Decreasing the cost of running the lights during veg to zero, isn't really helping you out that much as proportionally, you could get a much higher return with a minimal amount of additional investment. (I hope this makes sense).

no veg at all though, that's not how cannabis evolved and you are not getting the most out of the plant.

Ok, I really have to get back to work now

FoxFarm nutes...I follow the weekly chart they have.( grow big, big bloom, Tiger bloom( go light on this one), open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching)
pump runs for 15 min. 6x a day.
top off res. with fresh RO wtr every morning.
so far all has been good

Interesting. I know some people do no veg and get results. These have grown to 3 or 4 inches with no veg already. Oh well, I'll have to see how it goes. I just don't have the space to veg 30 clones. Unless maybe I do it in phases, and put them in the flowering room once they are ready. This would be a perpetual type system, i guess. Maybe 12 at a time...

Im running a 8 gallon setup.. I have 16 plants.. using hydroton and flooding every 2 hrs for 15 minutes.. the water is distilled at 0 ppm then I add GH Flora Nova Grow 7-4-10 till its 250ppm. the lights are standard 4 ft floro from Walmart. I run a fan...the plants love it.. just remember to swap your water each week... the plants will thank you...

I have a aero cloner and 2, 2x4 trays in my veg room with 2 18 gallon reservoirs. The plants in there are in 2 gallon pots filled with hydroton, I flood them 8 times a day.

In my flowering room there is a 4x4 tray and a 4x6 tray running off the same 100 gallon res., alternating times. Also 8 times a day. And I transplant the plants into 5 gallon pots when I put them in there.
