So I recently met a grower in Canada who explained how he goes about his business. He claims to be running 2 x 120 pot aeroponic units with 5000w of CFL over each unit. Claims to plant clones, veg for 2 1/2 weeks then forces flower 3 1/2 weeks and yields around 10kg in 6 - 61/2 weeks total...

I'm growing in soil 30% perlite. Will be using organic nutes.

You ever thought of transplanting into bigger potts just to see if there is any noticeable difference? How were your yields?

They are photos and thanks for the advice. I guess I'll repot them if that's the consensus.

I have 6x3l fabric pots to plant my sprouted seeds into. Then I have my 6 16.5l fabric pots to replant them into once they have 3-4 branches. This was on the advice of the store owner. My question is what are the risks of simply planting in my big fabric pots from the start? Won't it enable...

For any other newbies out there I've found this, which is massively useful

Thanks for the info :)

I got these biobizz organic nutrients from my local grow store, he told me to go soil and organic and to top water while I figure things out before going for a more advanced setup. I just realised I have no grasp on nutrients, how and when to use each one. Anyone give me a primer?

Can I just buy a big bag of biobizz all mix to grow with? Does it need to be mixed with anything?

For a first grow would you say go with one plant or multiple? I like the idea of a single plant. However the extra veg time seems to make it pointless. Still after having bonsai for years I'd love a giant single plant to lollipop and scrog out all bushy.

120x120 is 3.9x3.9 so basically 4x4feet isnt it?

Thanks for a great explanation. So if the 6x3.5 gal would fill up the space faster you can then go from veg to flower quicker and fill out a similar size canopy. For example if a strain says it takes 9-10 weeks of flowering on the data sheet, you veg until you fill your scrog canopy which is...

I am struggling to work out the affect plant number, pot size etc have on total yield. Let's start with a hypothetical growing space of 120x120x200cm. Around 520 actual watts from the wall in a single LED. For example if I decided to get one giant 20 gallon airport and do a one plant scrog...
