I use FOFF soil for the first four weeks. So, dont need to add any nutes. I never tried using coco i heard it retains more salt so definitely flush her out after every few feedings in the later stage of growth.. I have had good results in normal potting soil running a 500ppm solution the first four weeks.
3zips dried with some cfls is some serious bud and some serious cfls. For me switching to hps from cfls tripled my results. Its not even fair to compare them in my opinion. I average 70g-100g per plant. i think the most i harvested at one time was about 260g under a 600w and 200w of cfls.
no ya I've heard they retain salts too, so I'll be flushing just pure pH'ed water every few feeds. On my next grow after I harvest these two plants I might do soil and see how it goes. But I gotta get some grows under my belt first cuz I'd like to go organic but I gotta get some grows under my belt. My big plant is in a bubbleponic system with GH flora trio nutes it's going really well and drinking the water like crazy. Exchanging my 250w out for a 400 I bought it a few weeks ago so I can still exchange and up grade. It'll be here next week!
Growing in coco will break you in right i think. If you do go to soil. Please for the love of god use promix or heat treat your own potting soil. I wish someone would have slapped me and told me that when i started. I just posted on a thread about bugs. Looking back i had some hard times with aphids and gnats. If youre growing inside with soil or coco even, u will have a problem at some point. So i stress the fact of heat treating soil before you bring it in or use promix or hydro.
35"-50" 5gal pots. Short answer. There are so many factors. I have had large plants and small ones under 12/12. Also had small and large ones vegging for 6 weeks. To me it seems like the size of the pot is more important when u want a larger plant. But it all depends on how the previous plant was grown. I think vegging promotes better overall health and potency and of course max's out the size. 12/12 is good for your average home grower you can grow really great and potent plants using 12/12 and save a butt load on electric costs. But if budzz are your business i would suggest to stick with vegging.
70g-100g per plant 4-5gal pots 600w hps 200w cfls.
nice

Ha ya that makes sense I wouldn't use soil from outside but I've heard good things about promix I actually have a buddy that is growing in promix and loves it so I'll probably go that route once I go soil. What's the big diff in guys growing in soil rather than coco or water? The naturalness of it?Sweet.
I increased food to 1550 ppms and still taking bat-worm cast teas as well. I am changing the name to High Roller Cush. This shit is bad ass.
I usually get those numbers the last 2 grows I have screwed things up & got less.I'm running 600w hps. Lucas formula.I was trying for four.
