Sounds like you have a pretty good setup going. That's a lot of plants for such a small space. One thing to keep in mind is that, since you plan to use 1 gallon pots to save on space, you have to make sure they won't outgrow those pots mid flowering. That being said, and keeping in mind that...
I have used 951 GPH pumps for every 4 out of 12 buckets since the day I started, and I was always pleased with the results. Since I got rid of all the grow tents and expanded my grow space, I didn't really give it much thought to upgrade the air pumps after increasing the number of buckets. But...
The God's Gift is noticeably bigger all the way around. I can't really conclude anything, except for the fact that smaller air pumps should not be used for so many buckets, because my experiment was based on two different strains.
so, during this last grow I had, I did a little experimenting with different size air pumps. 6 SFV OG Kush were put on a 951 GPH air pump and 6 God's gift were put on a 1744 GPH pump. Now I realize that these are two different strains but they are relatives of each other, and I started them...
Yes, that's right. 13 supplements and the 3 part base. I bought the base nutes by the 4L jugs and the rest by the liter. The price of Bud Factor X was the worst. And even after all that, I could never get it dialed in. I did 4 whole grows with that bundle before deciding that maybe I should...
I forgot to answer this part...
Yes I even dialed it all back from 1/2 to 1/4 strength. Still kept getting claw like leaves. But then I used way more nutrients than just the three-part after getting the hang of it. I got to a point where I was using the entire Grandmaster series. It just got to...
I totally agree with you on taking clones. Especially since the root rot seems to keep reappearing, despite your efforts.
I loved the pH Perfect technology, and it is AN's strongest point. I used the 3-part base confidently as a beginner. I was even a little skeptical at first. But after a few...
First, my comment was merely an opinion. I have absolutely nothing against those who use LED. I have seen what they can do as well as their results but, to me, I trust MH/HPS more. That being said, I do not think HIDs are better than LED. Its true, LED runs cooler and is more energy efficient...
Actually the lux meter costed me about $35 from eBay, and it's a very good one. Dr. Meter brand. It has definitely helped me keep things growing as evenly as possible. 25000-40000 lux is the veg window I like. 60000-75000 for flowering. But I do have to bend those rules some too. for instance...
