Do you use tap water ? I wondered what is the quantity of nutrients needed to this kind of growing. I mean there are bottles of 1L, 3L, 5L, (32 ounces, 1gallon, 5 gallons). Which quantity is enough for this growth of approximately two months (right?) ? How do you regulate temperature of your room ? Do you use both intake and exhaust fans ? What are the sizes of fans ? thank you.

if cuttings are unavailable, do you think vertical would work with enough seeds germinated?
 
Sorry about my absence. I do not have any new pictures or vids for you guys, but I will answer a couple questions.

The plants are looking ok, and I am 1 week from harvest. I will provide pictures of the harvest. The system is ok, there are a couple of leaks. I will be using the sdr 35 pipes in the next room, and I would highly recommend getting and using them.

I am using RO water, but I think I will be going to tap water in the future. I am going to do a side by side comparison in two rooms. I think that RO water might be overkill for where I am. I use Ionic nutrients and I have a gallon of each grow, bloom, and boost. I have not gone through any of them yet and I am running two rooms. I would think that the value of a gallon makes it a better idea than a quart. I think that you would use more than a quart in one run, and the price of two quarts is close to the price of a gallon. My room is regulated by the central A/C. It is built in a bedroom and is not sealed. The temp in the room stays about 6 degrees F higher than my central A/C. So I just keep the house at 71 degrees. I also use a big 4 foot cool tube with a 500cfm fan attached.

you could use seeds, but you would want them to be feminized. also, it is better to use uniform cuttings. Take the extra month and grow some mothers.

ok thanks cuttings are overpriced where i am so that was a miss. Ill try seeds and take the mother approach second time round, also will you be able to take some pics of it right before harvest aswell would love to see the final look of your setup and produce
