that may be the case, I have a lot of other things going on, and I'm a tad stressed out right now. but like I said I'm not realy trying to compare methods, but rather just see how much faster the growth of a perfect hyrdo set up is compared to what I do, I know by the time I clone, and up pot 3 times most hydro guys are ready for flower when I'm just planting into the sip! I know this, but bc of my situation, and the ease and cheapness, I'm stuck with what I'm doing! unless I spends tons and tons to have fully automated systems and just stuff that may as well be a pipe dream!
I don't need fast growth bc of the way I'm doing things, I grow 1 plant and it covers a 4x4 space, well a lot more but each coveres a 4x4, by the time my girls are in a sip, and flowing cycle takes 64 days, it winds up being perfect! I was just Curious is all! but I'm poor, like very, I can't afford to run these test, I can't afford to go buy 30 bucks worth of nutrients right now! even if that's all I needed! I WA a just hoping to be able to compare has fast each grows through the middle of its life, to know how far off my method is, that's all man!
heres my latest baby, pic a Lil old
