Nice! What medium are you doing? I've never really got into soil grows other than my 1st grow well for buds at least, I used to have a secret rooftop garden, I was growing everything with vermi-compost, it was amazing I had like 40 plants of every variety on my roof growing in milk crates, until my land lord told me the roof wasn't "structurally sound" but I haven't been able to stop composting. Just can't bring myself to throwing out good garbage. I was thinking of keeping a few mothers with it.

Thing is what works with one strain won't necessarily work for another. Some like Indica dominant stains may be able to handle higher nute levels. Some Sativa dominant stains may be able to handle higher temps. You gotta find a strain and stick to it cause there's always a learning curve when starting a new one.

Yea, waiting to setup flood and drain until nine more are ready to go in flower... I'm starting a 9 plant every two weeks. Anyone have any input on whether I should flood once every 2 3 days or just bottom feed with a half inch of water every couple days?

I've noticed that my mom is a heavy feeder and loves warmer days.
