Okay so following on from my flagging indoor-outdoor 2 plant DWC grow, I have 5 just rooted clones from the stronger plant. I plan on growing them in a closet in the garage, starting off under anything from 144W-500W+ of CFLs with the possibility if running a HID globe down the track.
I have a tub suitable for DWC, which I have grown in a few times now, along with airpump, netpots etc. I also have 2 pond pumps and some misters, a 8 outlet manifold, drippers. I don't really want to run a fake aero setup and don't have the cash for a proper system, and for the same reason I don't wanto run DWC; I have read that if going 12/12 from the start, you don't want your plants to be able to grow as quickly as these forms allow. Also, I want the system to be more of a set and forget (besides raising lights) and able to handle longer term power outages/fuck ups.
This makes me think maybe running hempy buckets with drip feeders? Or maybe just flowing nutrient without the drippers. I'd go a mix of 80/20 perlite/vermiculite and maybe use a recirculating 35L res.
The next question is to LST or ScrOG. It's a 60cmx150cm area, and 160cm tall, lined with panda film, with 2 passive intakes and one exhaust fan. Odour is dealt with externally by an evil ozone generator. With 12/12 from seed it seems to me that a ScrOG is not really necessary, and that an LST should yield good results. With a 10 week flower time, and say 2-3 weeks befor flowering starts, how much space would 4 Bubblegums fill in a ScrOG screen, and would they get too big to all fit in the 60x150cm space? I'll be happy if I get an oz a plant, that should last long enough to let me keep it perpetual if I don't smoke/share too much. Think I need HID to pull it off?
I'm having trouble with pics right now, but am overdue in my other journal so will try to get some ASAP.
