Earl, I'm thinking of using House of Swan Aqua Flakes and the rest of their products. I didn't get the aqua flakes yet, but will! As you can see my new grow space is under construction while I'm finishing a grow

Hey Earl, my system dose not fit within your exact specs but it would be interesting to compare. You might already be familiar with my system.

I would start the seed in a paper towel and transfer to a Jiffy Cube when it pops. Into the cloner with straight water until I have nice roots(7/10 days). 160 Watt Fls.

Then off to the Veg. system. 250 Watt MH. Dual container Aeroponic system. PH 5.8 for the whole grow.

Botanicare Nutrients:
126ML Cal-Mag Plus
180ML Liquid Karma
540ML Pure Bend Pro Bloom
1000>2000 PPM during veg

After a total of 6 weeks they would go into my Aero/NFT system under 2000W HPS lights. I'll run 2900 PPM for six weeks and then taper off to 2400 PPM for week 6/7. I would start my flush on week 8 and flush with Clearex for 24 hours and then straight water until the plants finish (9 weeks?).

Any ideas on the finish time of this strain Earl?

I'll be running CO2 by then also.

It would be interesting to see what my system could produce. I am a professional photographer so the photos would be good. I am also a legal patient/provider here in Oregon with 14 years experience growing.

This is one of the best ideas I have ever heard of in my life. Kudos to Earl for thinking it up. This is the kind of stuff that could really change people's perspective on what works best.

Any chance you could run a plant in soil too Earl? I think it would be interesting to compare the difference in growth rates.

One more thing Earl. Please be super careful!!!!! No one wants to see you end up in jail over this.

No one is going to use Canna?

I'm new to growing, only have one harvest under my belt. This is a great thread because the most confusing thing for me was my nutrient combinations.

I'm getting ready for the next round and I had planned on using a full Canna system this round...but after reading this post, I'm curious why no one is mentioning Canna. Something I should know?

Has anyone ever tried "Super Nutrients"?

Hey Earl,
Is it not too late to join?

I will be using 400Mh for Veg

Either 400hps or 600hps for flowering.

As far as the nutes, which ones still have not been done?
I will buy which ever still need to be tested that have not been selected by others, or some nutes that sum 1 else is using so we can have a doulble grow control.

Let me know what nutes u think i should get.
I have done 2 dwc grows last year and had good results.

I will post pics later,
plz tell me what nutes u think i should use.
