1. ProMix Soil. (Home Depot $14 2cubic ft) Do not reuse dirt. 1 bag does just under 8, 3 gallon poly bags filling them to a couple inches from top.
2. Fertilome 20-20-20 every water during veg. (Hard to find, found an local garden center)
(1tsp per gallon) Fertilome 9-58-8 every water during flower except final 1 or 2 which will be plain water
3. 3 gallon poly grow bags (transplanted from 1/2 gallon pots... transplanted from cloning red party cups) (Provided by friend)
4. Grow bags sit in plastic sink tubs. (Walmart $1.97 a tub)
5. Water all plants 1 qt. slowly, then 2, then...until water starts to exit bottom, then stop. Check back a couple hours later if there is still water in the bottom, dump it. Do not reuse it.
Direct watering in circular ring about 1 inch from bag edge.
6. RO Water (Walmart $.37 per gallon)
7. Remove dead leaves and spilled soil completely from room. Major clean between each grow.
8. Loosen topsoil (aerate) with fingers or back scratcher before each water.
9. Cloning done with ProMix in Red party cups. Packing mote around edge of cup leaving mound in the middle. Cuttings done with 45 degree angle cut. Use razor blade to peel about 3/8 inch of stem skin off bottom...stick cutting stems is water mixture of the Fertilome 9-58-8 while getting them all ready. Take finger or pencil and punch inch deep hole in mound left in party cup. Sprinkle small bit! of Rootone hormone powder in hole and the spin wetted cutting stem in Rootone power, tapping off excess. Drop in hole in party cup mound and gently pack soil around. After all planted, take Fertilomed water used above and add it to spritz/spray bottle and wet soil of all cups concentrating on packed mote on edge...but everything gets wet. Place cups in plastic sink tub(s) (see above) which will lay on water resistant heating pad covered by black poly cloth. 2, T5 lights pretty much right on top of cuttings. Keep soil very moist without flooding cup.
To be continued....gotta crash....the above has produced some nice green, happy, dancing bushes with no issues and barely a blemish in my FG.
