Also, are the plant all female, ie were they grown from clones or feminized seeds?

It may lead to problems controlling pH levels.

If you have a veg room, you could veg 20 plants every month, top and prune the lower branches of the best 16 plants before switching to flowering cycle (leaving the best 4 or 6 good branches for colas in one foot square). You could have a harvest of 16 plants every month.

Veg 36 to 40 plants for a month, and keep the best 32 plants (16 per tray), top and prune the lower branches of each plant before flowering, leaving 2 or 4 branches on each plant. That way you will have as many colas as you do have now (with your existing grow). One plant per square foot. For a...

An airstone in each pod/bucket is neccessary. The bubbles from the air stone/curtain churns up the nutrient (keeping nutrients moving in the pod or rez) keeping the solution well mixed. Also the bubbles bursting on the surface of the nutrient solution mists the roots that aren't submerged in the...

Bad idea to have your water running through copper pipping. You can purchase nutrients for hard water. If you are having problems with the young plants, just use the RO and distilled water for them.

I agree that an AG is a total waste of time and money. But i cant see RIU making a sub forum for it as it is still a hydroponic system. People here who grow in them keep saying, 'so what, i'm growing in it and whats it got do with anyone else'. Well it has alot to do with everyone else who...

No. Presoak them before you need to use them.

not much info = not much yield

Good idea, seeing as you cant give yourself a rep+, i'll do it for you ;-)

To get 2270 grams from a 600w lamp is asking for the impossible.

Stevenson, i think if you get 600 grams (1g a watt) from your setup, you should be happy. I don't want to put a dampner on things, but first time growers usually expect .5g per watt, and if they achieve more, then it's a bonus. You will lead yourself into disappointment if you expect even close...

There are a few commercial growers here, but most of them mightn't want to attract too much attention.
