in my sig 2nd round. I have 1 400 cmh up right now. I have a fan controller that should get here today so i can setup my 600 cfm fan it was to powerful at full speed so i will run it at 75% or 450 cfm then i will add my super 600 hps then the other 400 cmh. gonna try and get 32 plants under those 3 lights. then veg in my closet with 8-12 plants. THis grow has started but waiting for a few more clones to get in to fill my area.

at that size i would run 450 ppm make sure you have enough N. I use Dyna Gro FP and add Botanicare bloom later with molasses.

to be honest i dont really understand all the ppm stuff so i kinda just use the ml/L method problem i had was nute burn started so i flushed them out and restarted will a lower amount, then i realised my drippers had stopped working as efficiently so it all accumulated in me flushing them and starting the nutes again

Yeah I have a N toxicity on one of my other grows and I followed the instructions to the letter. I'm not the sceptical type so I trusted it. I have Also nute burned my other crop following the instructions so I diluted that too. Crafty swines. Lol
I'll stick with 1/4 for now unless plants show deff.

Damn. No cheesy clones for me. Gutted. Oh well. I'll have to make do with the ones I've got

i recommend feed/feed/feed/water till you have 1/2 gall runn off and also mist it good with the big lights off. then repeat. its not a real flush but it does rinse the salts out. then take the runnoff and water you other house plants/ garden outside. Roots are the key to happy plants. Why do you think most growers up size 4 times for bigger pots.

I'll give that a try. I did flush with 1/2 nutes and got a good 4l of run off so I'll see how it goes. I needed to bring the grow nutes down as it had completed the stretch in flower and was just waiting to switch to bloom. Another lesson learned

Today I have noticed that the yellowing of the lower leaves is continuing and it may be spreading. I've upped the nutes to half strength now as I'm sure there isn't enough in the newly cleaned/flushed coco. The incredible bulk plant is still showing tip burn so I'm pretty sure she's a sensitive plant so I may have to cut her if the burn gets worse. I'm starting to think this drip feed idea would be better suited to a room of clones from one strain.
Growth rate is ok. Slightly lower than 1" per day so I am putting that down to a lack of N. Hopefully it'll pickup when the 1/2 nutes gets thru

too much tech for my liking guys but the plants look well so results speak for themselves.i just like the old plain and simple i am more than capable of using this tech but for me and as was proved in an earlyer post to much reliance on mechanics although when i go bigger and i am when the times right i will defo b looking into the smartpots seen a guys setup [miccyj] and it looks awsome no pumps just gravity to keep everything flowing nicely but those girls r coming on great looking the biz....

Thanks mate. You're a qualified judge too. Yea I'm Intrigued by those pots too. May set that up for my next grow. The drippers we're put in so I don't have to worry about the pots at the rear of the room. I'm hoping they get so big I can't reach em lol. The drip system isn't without its own issue. Judging flow rate, salt buildup in the pipes and drippers, earlier timer failing and not realising until deficiency showed. It's a good idea in principle and once it is set right it should be awesome. Should. Lol

yep om i totally agree with u everything and i mean everything has a sweetspot and when u hit that spot well thats when everything falls into place nicely and u reap the benifits of ur hard work and determination.you should have a look at that thread i told u about dont no the link but if u search miccyj 6000 watt build and grow u will find it no probs.honestly mate its well worth a look his grow is nearly finished but his setup is one i hope to replicate in the near future.....

£19 for 11l single pots or £26 for 25L pots. Wow. To be honest I'm gonna go that route for my other grow room. Don't think I can get 9 though lol. Might start with 5 11L pots
