I ghost on occasion ^_^ Just don't get very much, I keep coming back to help and encourage people. I'm bad at listening to the part of me that says screw that site.

I'm off of RIU again. I'll probably be back again :P

What do you say to people who get better taste with their hydro than you do with soil? Not saying I do, we don't know what each others product. Homebrewer for example uses Floralicious Bloom Plus to provide the essentials a plant needs to produce terpines giving a "15% increase in aroma" -...

"here i will let the proffessor explain it to you as you are having a hard time:" Post something condescending again and you are blocked. It isn't appreciated. Also, don't post another person's information without a source. Back to his information. Good read and information. What of it? You...

You are off to a much better start than I was when I did my first grow in Spring 2005 haha. I jumped into hydro so ignorant the current me can't believe the plant survived! It was a DWC grow, no pH testing, playing with GH nutrients like a mad scientist, 150W HPS haha. Truthfully this plant can...

For yield it's all factors. When your environment promotes healthy plants, you'll do a lot better than someone who throws massive PAR at their girls.

Ah I forgot, with my specific system. 11 harvests. Only a few changes from what I used not too long ago. New nutrients, reservoir size change, pot change. That's it.

Completely misread my post. The auxins in regard to topping the Uncle Ben way has nothing to do with cloning or cloning gel. His way of topping is used to get 4 cola's every time at the correct stage in veg. Any other time or cut from another point results in more diversity in results. Topping a...

I know intensity diminishes. Are you insinuating a 600W has the same PAR output at 1ft as a kW? If not I'm not sure what your point is.

I don't run mothers. I just take clones off the vegging plants. 2X3 tables I have 6 plants in using 2 gallon nursery pots. I used to use 1 but my damn root mass exploded out so much I upgraded. Also the weight of the plant was too much for them. Personally, with 24 plants I'd do no mothers...

With my set up 2+oz/plant no lsting or anything of the sort. Uncle Ben topping when grown from seed but never the clones, they don't have the same hormonal auxins that provide the same topping benefit.

I use kW lights, I am not worried about light penetration. Hence the arguement between us kWer's and the damn 600W club :P I will concur with the trimming every other week sucks but that is the best complaint you can have in growing haha. I do not mix different nutrients for weeks 1-6 in...

If interested I can get into muuuch more detail for you ^_^ Just decide on a style and you'll be set.

2 plant rotation every 2 weeks is what I do. Ebb/Flow. I take clones off plants a week before flowering. Clones are ready by the time the big vegging plants go to flowering. 8 week flowering. I use a bi monthly res change system. DIY flood tables from Lowes. 2'X3' tables cost $15 after tax. Much...

My first hydro grow. 3 plants. W gallon pots, 3 weeks veg. 6 oz finished. My first soil. 5 plants. 8 weeks veg. 3 gallon pots, 3.5oz finished. Conclusion, hydro is easier for me. I will only do soil outdoors with the great light in the sky. My tomatos seem to be fine, my cannabis show me I'm...

Hence why adding tap water to R/O water is cheaper and takes care of that ^_^ People will do much better not trying to grow in 0ppm R/O water.

Distilled seems excessive and expensive.

My way isn't convenient but using huge trash barrels for water storage and some 5 gallon paint buckets for cheap at home depot to carry water I only have to go once a week.

Before buying an R/O system look at the water waste amount and your water bill. The cost of the machine and cost of filter replacement constantly with so much use. I did. My 64 feet of ebb/flow trays cost me $18/month at the water dispenser that also has a double UV filtration. The R/O machine...

I use an R/O dispenser that costs 15cents per gallon next to my Sprouts. It comes out cheaper than owning my own R/O filter at home. My tap comes out at 585 so R/O water is a must. Just 80% R/O and 20% tap water saves me some money on water and the tap provides the Calcium/Magnesium/(+a lot of...
