So come to find out, using botanicare kind there is no need to add cal-mag to ro water. Kind base had enhanced calcium and the bloom has enhanced magnesium. So my dumb ass has been adding way to much cal-mag and ruining the process. Making my plants get too much nitrogen and locking out my calcium. This is what I get for switching nutrients and not doing the correct research. Lesson learned. Now that I figured this out, I do have to say the botanicare kind is a very clean product to run in this system and HPA systems. Now I can finally perfect what I have been struggling with for the last few months. It’s embarrassing actually but is what it is. I’m happy to have figured out the problem

Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet.

I'll take you through my process from start to harvest.

What is different about my system vs. others?

1) 3 separate Aero/NFT flower systems allow me to run a 9 week flower cycle. This allows the buds to fully ripen and also allows me to run strains with more Sativa in them.

2) I use 100% organic nutrients for the sweetest tasting bud you can ever imagine.

3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.

4) My system is all Aeroponic/Hydroponic or Aero/NFT. Each system uses the same sprayers and pumps. No medium is used. Basically the plants grow in air.

5) I have a 100% success rate with my cloner. By far the easiest way to take cuttings.

6) I always leach and then flush for at least 2 weeks for buds that burn and taste clean.

7) I run a three part cycle. The plants stay 3 weeks in the cloner, then 3 weeks in the veg system and then the move to flower for the last 9 weeks.

Anyone can do this! If you can read a number you will have the same success as I do. Everything is measured and it is as easy as baking a cake.

If you follow my instructions you too can harvest a pound every 3 weeks.

So here we go...

In rdwc my ppms are 400-500 in veg and 1000 tops in flower. I know the kelp in the liquid karma helps alot when it comes to high ppms but my plants grow just fine with low ppms as long as my environment stays dialed in.

Kelp for less liquid kelp extract is a good cheaper substitute for liquid karma. I have used it with advanced nutrients connoisseur and current culture nutrient line with 0 issues
Every 6ml per gallon will add 40ppms to your mix

I built my first hydro systems way back based on this thread. I haven't grown in this type of system in a long time, but if you follow the cyclical, staggered grow schedule, you will pull that much or more depending on your space and lights. This thread is legendary. I'm sure there are hundreds of growers that built stuff based on this thread and had great success.

Peace :peace:

I've used a variation of the Roughneck tubs a few times and had good success with them. I have two White Widow Autos in one now just about 3-4 weeks from harvest. Mine work well and are easy to service. MY WW#1 is 35" tall and covers about 10 sq ft canopy. WW#2 isonly 20" tallandcovers about 1 sq ft! Different phenos.

Here's the thing bro... The original article was posted in 2008 from stuff I was doing in 2006. For example, the things we are learning about beneficial bacteria wasn't really known about 10 years ago. I mean we knew about it but you couldn't go down to your local store and buy it and we didn't have a clue about how to use them even if we could. Growing techniques change daily. Success still depends on one core element, genetics.

By far the most important thing is genetics. Genetics is 99% of your success. You can take a clone of OG Kush SFV and grow it in store bought soil with off the shelf nutes and it will be amazing! There are guys around here getting 2lbs. per light using soil and winning awards doing it! Now of course you still need basic knowledge but my point is growing weed is easy if you don't make it hard. One of the things I've learned over the last 10 years if what may be easy for one guy, may be impossible for another. It took me awhile to admit it but I'm a realist not superman.

I've gotten to the point that I tell people if you want to grow with Aero you need to get a chiller for your water. Why? Because chances are if you don't, you'll end up with root rot. In fact if I was still hard core aero I'd be running a sterile res and keep it clear. Then flush the fuck out of it for two weeks. I know guys that do it that way and the bud taste fine. Not as much flavor as organic but great bag appeal, smell, high... Aeroponics is for the guys that drive fast cars. But we all know you don't need a Porsche to get groceries.

The way I've been teaching people the last couple of years is to start them off using soil with Botanicare nutrients. After a few successful grows they either stay with soil or move on to Coco. You don't have issues with coco like you do with aero. The coco acts like air conditioning for your roots so they always stay nice and cool. You can run bennies with coco and never have to worry about root rot. Growth rates are as good if not better than aero. My next grow article will use coco fiber...

Remember...The article is titled "Harvest a pound every three weeks". You should expect techniques and knowledge would change over time. Especially if the original poster (me) refused to stagnate. I'm never going to stop learning and trying new things.

Someday I will hand you guys the most important thing I've ever done in my life. Someday I will hand you the genetics I'm working on right now. I've been working on this for what seems like my whole life. All I can say right now is HOLY SHIT!

Plant in the dirt, water, and it should grow.
