Need a professional opinion before I invest in a system. Was thinking either Cap Monster ebb & gro 6 site system (5 gal buckets) or a bontacaire flood and drain table. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Lighting will be 1000w in air cooled reflector running in the secret jardin dr 150

You cant go wrong with HID lights. They are the most efficient way of converting electricity into available light. I would suggest buying a digital ballast (lumatek) as they are dimmable and can run multiple wattages. Also you can run a MH nd hps in these ballast. As for reflector get something...

You can pull them now you want a good cbd/thc ratio (unless your tryin to create some heavy hitters) You want most of your trichs to be cloudy to get the full effect, a clear trich is undeveloped. the latest you should pull them would be around 75% amber and that is the latest! Any longer and...

What is your humidity at? Put some pics up so we can see the problem I'm sure one of the more advanced growers know some techniques.

You wanna wait til most of your pistils have changed colors. Also your trichs factor in here, a more amber trich will produce a sedative high (what you want in your white widow) where a cloudy trich will produce more of a cerebral sativa high, a clear trich is not fully developed and should be...

If I use the hydro nutrients in the soil won't I get salt buildups? I was jus gonna get fox farms soil with there nutes.

What kind of yields did you get with dyna-gro? My local hydro shop sells that stuff but I've never checked it out

great setup! what strain are you growing?

How's the SOG workin for ya? Did your babies germinate? Remember they can take up to 2 weeks to germ so don't get discouraged.

Thanks for the input bro, nd btw nice grow! That hawaiian snow is lookin good! Did u add any cfl's? Cause ur son agro looks like it lacks in the blue spectrum a little,well it is a hps :P I heard the combination of MH nd hps at the same time through both cycles will make for some killer buds.

I'm still trying to understand the scrog method, I understand you use a screen or net and your buds go through it but what is the goal? And do you remove lower branching so your plant directs it's energy to the top colas.

Thanks hs, if you don't mind me asking what kind of ppm meter do you use? They seem to run at about 80$. Do they have cheaper ones that are just as accurate or should I invest in a good meter.

SOG is better for clones tho correct? I wanna start from seeds from start to finish then my second grow I will carefully choose my bonsai mother and root a ton of clones so I can use the SOG and not have to worry about sex. Plus seeds seem like they are to expensive to use in SOG, clones seem...

What kinda nutes would you suggest? I dont wanna go cheap but I don't wanna spend 200+ dollars on AN nutes when I can get the same yield from a different brand for much less money
