I weigh them closely..... soil still ends up the winner with me.... though I think I will continue to work with Coco, I think eventually coco will pull ahead of the soil once I have gotten it dialed in....... kind of too easy, know what I mean? Im not on my toes enough with it yet,

Hey man, just checking into this thread again, as I (inadvertently) have basically copied your entire setup.

We already had the 4x4 tent , 1000HPS, and Sentinel in common, and now I've switched up my plan from buckets and have a Botanicare 4x4 tray in there to run E&F.

Ironically enough, I'm also a disciple of Lucas (I swear, I'm not your stalker ).

However, I'm gonna put about 25-30 plants per tray in 2 gallon pots with hydroton, as opposed to rockwool (only difference I can really see).

Anyhow, if you're still checking this thread, had a couple of questions for you - #1, do you have an RO filter? Also, how often did you change out your res? Did you do every couple of weeks or did you just top off for the whole grow like Lucas does? How large was/is your res? Did you use the 0-8-16 of Flora or the 6ml of Floranova?

Sorry if these questions were already covered in your thread - I read the whole thing a few weeks ago but don't recall if you answered these questions.

Thanks for your time, and not to scare you or anything, but my next setup is also going to be a 4x8 tent with two 4x4 tables.

Weird, huh?

LOL!!! i dont mind at all if you copy my entire grow. as long as it comes out good im happy for you. Im currently setting up my new grow. 4x8 sunhut with 2 4x4 trays. everything else will be the same. ill post the link when i start a new thread. at first i was going to use 2 res's but now i am just going to stick with one. and just have the timers alternating. so when one is on the other is off and have the next one start about 15 min after the other one so the nutrient solution has fully drained back into the res. I figure that way i will use half as much nutes and save some $$$. im kinda tight on funds right now so im trying to save as much as i can. I know ill have to top my res off every single day but thats not a big deal to me.

After my first grow i have decided to go with 53 PK in each tray. I know if i put 64 PK in each tray they would be FAR to crowded and i would end up having problems. i figure ill get ATLEAST 15g off each one. so the total will be somewhere around 1590g or MORE.

To answer your questions. #1 i do NOT have an RO filter.and #2 i changed my res every 2 weeks. I did not continue to top off like lucas does. I ACCIDENTALY didnt change my res one time for more than 2 weeks and when i checked the EC i found it to be a little high. So i would definately advise you to change it every 2 weeks. Better safe than sorry...

The res i use is a 38gal res. I just 8ml/gal of Floramicro and 16ml/gal of Florabloom. I started adding advanced nutrients Big Bud after about the 2nd to 3rd week at half the recommended stregth or so.

Also, if your only going to use 25-30 plants i would definately NOT lollipop them and I would also use some sort of netting like a scrog to support the lower branches because they will definately need it. Good luck with your grow.

Thanks much man; tried to give you some rep but evidently I must spread it around first.

I've got an RO filter coming, so I think I'm gonna try to go to whole flowering without changing the rez - if I decide it needs it, I'll change it, but trying to hold off - I have a 50 gallon rez, FYI.

I'm going to try out Floranova instead of Flora.

And I'm going to top all 25-30 plants for two main colas which will be staked with bamboo sticks, and will certainly be trimming off the lower branches.

Anyways, thanks so much for your help, it's quite appreciated - I'll give you some rep when the system lets me.

P.S. - didn't copy your grow, decided what I was going to do and then found your grow - that being said, maybe great minds do think alike

P.P.S. - take a look at my setup in my sig if you get a chance - everything's setup but the RO filter.
