So I'm pretty sure I'm doin a 30 gal
If I have to keep renting to finish that's what I'm goin to do or whatever it takes...but now my next obstacle is water...I was going to use filtered tap once I figure out what's In the water

I'm trying to figure out what to do about my water, so you're on your own there. Lol

I may. If I quit running hydro, I won't have the water bill I do, and I can just keep the ro going. I really like running hydro too though. That's my water dilemma. I'm cheap. Lol

Shit, I'll show mine for $0.10. Lol

I started in hydro. Grows big plants, fast. There's many downsides to it, but once you get your system dialed in, it's pretty effortless. That being said, I prefer living soil. It's easier, and less stressful. Lol

I can't man lol I dont wanna force feed I want to do organics and let the biology take over and the plant feed it self....but another thing I thought I could do is run a couple earth boxes in the 3x3 but 2 earth boxes is only 1 cubic foot of soil...I'd have so much left over soil

I bought trays from the hydro shop first to make sure how many I could fit. Plastic pots take up less room it seems. And you know there's tall fabric pots that are skinnier than the regular ones?

In the plastic pots the 10 and 15 gal have the same base width and use the same 16" tray.

Amazon has some tall fabric 10s that have less than 14inch diameter allowing 4 but I still wouldn’t do it.

I have notes here from a run, seed started Dec 5th, went to two 7s with Scrog/super cropping. Harvested April 20 after 10 full flower weeks. Yield was 18 oz dry plus hash larf. Promix with nutes and minor amendments.

Could have improved a lot on that run too but it was decent. Easily could have been faster.

Anyway my style ain’t your style which is all good. I’d choose something quick tho especially with how you wanna roll. Regardless let us know how it goes. I’m wrong all the time and old enough to not mind haha.

check your city water departments web page, they’ll have a report with listed contaminants and their levels. If you have well water then you might just wanna run it through an ro filter if you’re near agricultural or industrial areas.

Well partly I chosen to do one big pot and one saucer because I felt like it might of been cheaper instead of buying 4 pots+ saucers...but I know I could flip faster but I'm wondering about yield 1big plant vs. 2-4 plants with a shorter veg time

I did if they have chloramines instead of chlorine do they have to list that....they use chlorine but that means they probably wouldn't use the chloramine

I prefer bigger plants since I think it's less work. But it does take longer to veg. I'm not in a hurry though. I'm not running out anytime soon.
