Thinking about Re-vamping my shit, better insulation/drywall, stronger Air conditioner to combat the retarded ass heat, Think florida/texas = RETARDED. Not to mention dropping the soil and going to bubble buckets or some other type of hydroponic / airoponic system. I know I need to drop my temps from the 85-100 f all the time (most of the year) 1k hps, down to ideal 70's. Only have a 5k btu ac which i haven't ran all winter, which ill be turning back on soon. The soil is forgiving when it comes to temps. But not the yield / speed.
Now that you know about where i am mentally, I know very little about soil less growing. I know ph is 5.5-6.5 instead of 6-7, know very little about ppm, and have no clue which line up of fert's I will need to add to my water. I assume any brand of hydroponic solutions will work for weed, just at a lesser dose to start, and also that these "line ups" have all nutes needed by the plant available. If some of you ex soil growers want to chime in and give me some advice, please do. I could use it, My state should be becoming legal in November, and I have things in the works for what i would call "aggressive expansion". My plan is actually taking me outdoors, but I will need a tight knit indoor grow to propagate higher quality bud's and nurse clones / etc. Which I plan to be ran fully by mean's of soil-less mediums.
I've been winging it so long, I feel like I need to just get my shit together. I mean here i am, throwing random ass soils together, some used, some not, some other kinds. Random ferts, burning some plants, others not. Some of them do very well (probably luck) and others quite poor. Hell I still clone in a cup of water like a damn cave man. LOL
