Been thinking like Crazy lately,(what else is new?)
And needed to make up my mind on a serious subject.
How many plants should I continue to grow??
Well, I thought hard about doing 8 bubbler plants in my flowering room next time around.
But, Already.. I have noticed that my bedroom sized flowering space is experiencing severe overcrowding.
And, as most experienced growers already know, Overcrowding
makes the yields far less.
Also, I wanna try to stay 100% legal(by what the so called law applies to) with my grows since Im a certified Caregiver.
Id reccomend growers to do all they can to grow a smaller number of plants, with or without Doctor's Paperwork.
And thats where hydro grown plants come in.
Id like a nice distance between my plants/buckets for greater yields,easier maintenance, and overall simplicity.
Because of the above reasons,
Ive decided to flower only 6 DWC Bubbler plants from here on out.
I will keep 6 Dwc Bubbler plants going in the Veg room, and 6 in the Flowering room.
A six pack grow!! Luv it!! KISS method (keep it simple stupid)
The electricity costs will be far less since Ill only be using my 1k light 12 hours a day for flowering, instead of 24 hours like before.(veg mode)
The 430 watt son agro will be lit up in Veg room only 18 hours a day.
And by the way, I see major improvements with the 18/6 time schedue.
The savings will be enormous!
Then every 55-57 days all I'll have to do is take the lids off the 3 1/2 gallon veg buckets, and snap em unto the 5 gallon flowering buckets and directly go into 12/12 without any veg time required.
If it all works out, Ill be harvesting at least 2+ lbs of the prime Dank every other month off of 6 plants..
Thats not too shabby, and the lower plant count makes me feel much safer.
Especially if I had to explain it to a judge, ya know.
Medical Certificates can help you out in case your busted.
But, They can still convict you.
Id rather have a low plant count, and a Doctors consent to grow, than nothing at all.
Im playing by the rules.
Conclusion, better being careful, and more beneficial to grow a lower number of plants.
I know rules are made to be broken, but this is NOT a game.
Yesterday, I gave my buddy the 7th bubbler bucket out of my veg room along with a pump and all the goodies, and finally shut off the bucket cloner with the flo's and air pump.
Got all the clones I'll need.
Anyways, thats how Im gonna do things around here.
No more soil experiments, only Bubbler Bucket Grows, from rooting a clone, all the way to harvest.
Iam really enjoying the dwc bucket method, and Iam staying away from them messy soil grows.
Never again!!
I encourage all soil growers to change out to Dwc buckets, and grow your plants like their on Steroids.
IMHO, Its the best way to grow out high quality Cannabis.
It grows so much faster, and the yields are supposed to be enormous.
We'll see!
So far, Im a firm believer. Its been a wonderful experience.
The way things look around here, I think this will be my highest yielding crop EVER!!
I think I got my setup dialed in now, and I like the way I have planned out this Operation.
It took me a while to figure out what cloning method works the best,
and spent countless hours of research of this that, and the other thing.
But, I finally found all my answers through trial and error, and hardcore research.
My mind feels so much more relaxed today, because I found out where all the pieces of this puzzle actually go.
I know what I want to do, and know exactly how to do it.
Knowledge is POWER!
Life is Good
Have a Magnificient Day!!!
.
, and document our progress. It should be interesting to start and finish, three different growers, using different nutes, but roughly the same lighting. Im deff in! I nominate CG to head up the thread since he is on here 92% of the day!
