That sounds like a plan now I know how to dunk the right way do you continue with the other plants in the 1 gal bucket or would I have to remix water drench for each plant or can I use left over and add a little to it to get back to the 4 cups and repeat process until I have dunked all 4 plants in one gallon pots
Mix a new batch for each and use the left over in your yard
Now that I understand Thank You, I can go ahead and use a 5gal. bucket then let it drain back in the bucket can I reuse the dunked in water for the next plant I know I would probably have to add between
As you can see...everyone has their own way....and none of them are wrong. You gotta take in the info and find what works best for you. In time it will all come together and you will know if something is working for you or you want to try another way and see how it feels.
I am going to try the dunking in a bucket like in the video link you shared Thank You for that. I am starting to see things come together I got a plan now so I am going to grow 4 plants in my tent I had to choose which strains to run, not enough room to run all the strains I have seeds for. So I have chosen the strains that will work best for me out of the seeds I have available. I will train using the quadlining technique maybe on future runs I will get the netting and try SCROGing. I will use the dunk method while in one gallon pots then wen ready transplant into the 7 gal. fabric pots. with 18/6 lighting while in veg then lower the lights and go to 12/12 for flipping and flowering. I will be doing the DBHBB kit for feeding the soil. I got the garden sparer for watering the 7 gal. pots. I hope the carbon filter will take care of the smell so my wife don't get bent out of shape if it does I am golden. Any way that is the plan for now.
Now I will need recommendations on how much to give and how often to dunk I am assuming that the plants will use more later in veg and less as seedlings so when do I start dunking and what do I do while still in seedling stage
Yup....you got a good mix and match of successful strategies there. Just don't let environmental issues get out of whack and things should be fine for a first run. I am willing to bet you will be making adjustments or "fine tuning" like @Gazoo was mentioning...cause it never seems to end. It's all fun.
For how often it is a simple answer....when they need it. I have four plants going right now and all four get drenched at different times. That time is when the pot is light in weight. Whether you use a scale and wait for that target number or you just lift it and feel the lightness. You want to follow the wet/dry cycle to force the roots to go searching for moisture and fill up that pot. The older they get the faster they will get light.
....listen to Gazoo*
Gazoo and Duggan are my go to guys on DBHBB but like you said I will take what others say in consideration ie. Quadlining Thank you. I also subscribe to Docs thread so I will be keeping a close eye on what's going on over there. I have also found a couple other members journals I am following but for keeping me straight I will check with Duggan and GazooFor how often it is a simple answer....when they need it.

How much?
That is another one where everyone's measurements and methods can vary. I think it is better to try and follow one persons guidance and take others into consideration. Too many cooks in the kitchen sort of thing.
*edit: Gazoo seems to have a good handle on Info
I have been under the wing of @Duggan for a while now, he's got a good track record of leading people to success. Lots of experience there, he's like the Robocop of cannabis
I have 10gal. pots I thought for the ratios to be right I needed 7gal. pots So if its OK to do 10gal. that is what pot I will use after the 1 gal. pots. I seen Duggans crop and Man he has some big ass plants and Hugh Buds covered in tricoms That's what level I hope to get to but I think that level will be a long way off for me but I plan to get there one day with Duggan and others help. I have picked up So much already I love to learn about growing and this is the BEST forum around because of the helpful members her on 420mag. Thank You for the help.I have been under the wing of @Duggan for a while now, he's got a good track record of leading people to success. Lots of experience there, he's like the Robocop of cannabis
First thing is 7 gallon pots are too small for Duggs. 10 gallon or bigger is advised, but remember his style is growing big yields. High quality and lots of it. So more soil for the roots to play in is recommended.
As for measurement goes it is really simple. Measure by gallon of water...10-15ml per gallon of RO water for all drenches + 2.5ml of tea with everything.
It is real simple.
Also....one kit can fill 4 10 gallon pots you still got time to upgrade
Your thoughts and ideas are Very helpful Gazoo Thank You , You guys Rock@Duggan is the guy He will keep you on track
Im still in the watching and learning phase
