Ok...so I felt left out of I was leaving you guys out. So here's a bit about me. I was growing hydro last year. I was a newbie, just moved to a new town, had a bunch of money, and there just happened to be a killer Hydroponic store in my new town. I previously attempted to grow...oh about 15 years ago. With no avail, buy I learned a few things. So ok I went shopping. I will list my hardware below I started using DWC. Killed my girls due to lethal levels of salt build up...I wasn't maintaining my reservoir as I should of. That was a hard lesson learned!! So grew another batch, and went a bit better, however they ended up dying. I found that with DWC its so hard to bring back my plants once they went down hill. I didn't like the DWC my third attempt went really well. I made my own ebb & flow / Drip system. Alot better. I feel that my girls didn't like their roots being constantly submerged in water. I mean this is just for me. I understand some of you have great results. I also understand I learned alot and I could succeed @ DWC now but really no desire. So I then moved again, not so much money...I have all the equipment for hydro grow but didn't have the money for Nutes. I use Dutch Masters gold series when growing hydro. I feel its an all around great product and you don't have to add crazy amounts of additives. But i didn't have the cash to get them. So I decided to go with soil to get going. I am so impressed with the results I'm getting with soil!
Ok this is what I am working with in a I haven't measured the room, but i'd say its about 20 x 20 but I am only using about a 5 x 5 area.
1 600 hps
1 400 mh
Light rail / mover ( I don't use the rail as to move the entire distance of the rail which is about 5 feet. I have it moving about the distance of a foot. I like to keep a constant light on my girl, rather than when the rail travels the entire distance of the room. It's more like a cloudy day than a sunshinny day.)
CO2 Boost
Oscillating fan
Veg closet
Using Fox farm however I am experimenting with different nutes my different sets of girls. When I say sets I mean, the new additions I add about every wo to three weeks for my SoG.
I'm going completely organic on some, my organic nute are:
Neptune's Harvest fish and seaweed 2-3-1
Neptune's Harvest seaweed (kelp) 0-0-1
Budswell Bad & seabird guano w/ worm castings 0-7-0
It's early so anything I missed I will get to later
I was lucky the other day, this new hydro shop open in my area and I been frequenting it. The guy gave me a free sample of Atami Bloombastic. Oh man...I used it and I totally see the effect. I will take some pictures on the four girls I used it on.
So thats my set up for the most part....
