honestly, if your new to the organics game i will give you advice. start small. talk to chris about getting some bags. or maybe a sample bag to try it out first. The process this guy goes through is absolutely insane, not even mentioning the mass amounts of products he uses. See its actually easy to use one or the other when it comes to guanos and rock dust but he puts every kind you can imagine in so no matter what genetics you have, the plant will pull the proper amount of nutrients it needs to survive/thrive. Some genetics like different kinds of guanos. I have been organic for quite sometime and i have never in my life seen such vigorous growth, insane soft texture, like theres freakin alloe vera in the leaf itsself. Every time i top the lower branch holding the soon to be 2 tops gets twice as thick, and so forth and so on. i have 20 tops on one plant right now and its in a one gallon pot over a foot and half tall and is just a fuckin monster looking thickness everywhere. With one bag you can easily do two 5 gallon pots. thats what ive come to realize. With normal genetics you can get an easy six zips per container. at least. The bags are 30 some bucks. to not have to pay for any nurtients at all and just water. Its one hell of a deal. So i would go for 2 plants instead of one in a scrog net. depending on the genetics, i can point u in the right direction for that too. I very honestly hate plasma lighting. theres maybe one company that is decent. and the only LEDS that are trully worth it on the market that ive seen are lush lighting and the brand with mothership as one of their models. But both brands are an easy 1000 bucks for the equivilent of a 1000 watt. If you truly have the money i would suggest lush lighting. If you can get a hps, and your only doing 2 plants. you truly only need one 600. With certain techniques you can get 3/4 gram to one gram a watt. so you can do the math on that. If you cant even go that route, and money is an issue then i suggest getting as many t5's you can get, mass spectrum, 3,000 and 6500k. that will give you red and blue spectrum, you wont get 3/4 gram a watt but you wont pull much electric either. The best of both worlds is really lush lighting. ive seen insane shit with their product from trusted people in the field that feed their families with this. But its 700 to 1200 dpending on the model. If your just adding water and no additives, then your flushing the entire time. its just the R.O water and CaMg. Stop the CaMg 2 weeks before harvest and continue with water. I feed my super coco and soil microbes though. and vitamins, and sugars, enzymes, humic acid. This is not necessary by any means. But, i am very experienced and i am not looking for the 22%, i am looking for the 29 and above %. But if your using Reverse Osmosis water which you really really shuold, then there is no ph'ing. you just add the CaMg ( i suggest general organics because its 0-0-0 and sugar based) If you want to spend money on ANY OTHER PRODUCT and i swear by this. This will turn any pile of shit dirt into something amazing, so when you combine this with chris's super coco. You are completely unstoppable. Its called OG TEA company. its kyle kushman veganic microbe line. I highly suggest if you were to buy anything at all, it would be the super coco and combine it with the "veganic special sauce", "pure" and "webstar" it allows you to feed microbes to your plants every single watering. The microbes are what eat up the food in the soil/coco and then they feed it to the plants. So chris;s super coco combined with a fucking factory of hungry ass microbes will leave you with the stankiest, stickiest, medicine you have ever had the pleasure of cutting down or showing to your friends. You can even use the "pure" which is a beneficial bacteria and use it during the entire flush and it eats the fuuuuuuccck out of everything that is left including built up salts (if you were synthetic) and gives you a tremendously insane fade. After all of this is said and done i would not recommend you re amending your super coco after all of this because your still young in organics. I would honestly say if this is SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY something you want to do, cuz trust me, if u fuck up, u fuck up everything. i mean everything, any clones u were takin care of for weeks or months, u put in the re amended soil and its not right, u could burn them, kill them, starve them, or god forbid bring pest into your grow room. Reamending soil to continuously use it is purposeful in the sense that your building a microbe army, but its constant work, constant matentience, dont get me wrong, it can be the most rewarding soil or coco you would ever have 3 years down the road, but, thats if you dont mess anything up along the way. Read a book by the rev called true living organics. It actually does give you his soil recipe in the book, but u have to spike with dry nutrients during each transplant and add all kinds of nutrients throughout the entire grow. its not like chris's coco formula where everything is locked in and used when needed. The rev shows you how to build soil but its not for the beginner if you want that absolute super dank. Ive done it all, made every soil u can imagine. I stopped making my own to use Chris super coco. That is all i have to say about that.
[email protected] is chris email. Tell him you talked to justin from cali on roll it up and he explained what he could, just say whatever you have on your mind, Hes a real down to earth cool guy. it may take a few days for him to get back because he is busy, but i would definitely email him.
