It does look like some mad scientist lab for sure, I'm just doing an experimental run with the 300w LED since I got it for free and it cost my buddy 1k but he got a 600w one and he loves LED's. I have a 400w HPS and a 400w HD and Digital conversion ballast. Actually I have been thinking of doing soil eventually but I love hydro, so much to play with and it makes me feel like a scientist when i'm not fucking with computers and working at Dell.I think you could bro. You've obviously got enough ingenuity, your cabinet looks like a lab. I say ditch the LED and hydro bullshit and just go ALL NATURAL with some good ole HID's and soil. These plants have been doing it on their own for millions of years, they don't need fancy setups.
Been here since '08, most common thing I see: People over-think it.
dial in the EC
adjust that PH
& just sit back
but I work alot harder than that.
beautiful purple, well done! And for those that talked smack about how I trim it is no different than this you can try and dispute it just to do it if you want.fresh trim , round two later
I do the same with hydro. If you do hydro right it's a lot easier and much less fuss and mess to deal with. Thing with hydro is that you either do it mediocrily and keep pace with soil or you dial in your shit 110% and blow your soil brethren out of the water.I think you could bro.

After my beans pop I put them in riot roots and once they break ground I transplant them to net pots with hydroton. I use a recirculating deep water culture set up so it is constantly flowing water from one pot to another with a small but powerful pump. When the plants roots suck up enough water I just turn the pump on in the res and let it flow into the control pot until it is full enough. i also use h2o2 to keep it clean and hygrozyme for healthy roots. I pretty much got my skills down with this set up its not hard for me it was the first run that I got a little overwhelmed but I got the hang of it quick.I do the same with hydro.

A LOT of just general advice on this forum and others regarding hydro. One thing I've learned is that every system will have to be custom dialed in for the best results. Most notably when a different medium is used.
For example, the standard "water once every three hours" doesn't work for both rockwool cubes and hydroton. Two different animals with two totally different approaches.
Will u post some pics of the Chernobyl guwall?Think it has to be chimera
Damn, I take a break from this thread for one evening, and shit goes crazy. Jenks is starting fights, KaB is posting ass shots and screaming like a little girl........ HM is writhing articles, and chosen is being racist, lmfao.

i love the fact that everyone is growing everything, i like comparing notes. life is making me crazy gud! fucking so much bullshit everyday, whatever at least my plants are okits nice to see everybody growing so many different strains!
the tons of information about all this gear will be bomb.
shit if people didnt grow it , i wouldnt be seed starving for some of those "firestarters".
i have about 27 gallons of rockwool crutons... the one advantage is they go longer between waterings. a feature like that is a nice cushion if you aint around & shit breaks. another thing i like about rockwool is it give more grow (root) power over hydroton.
i consistently get bigger plants w/ the same rooting time given to clones & same size container with 90% crutons & 10% sure to grow hail.
its not much more "grow power" ... but every 3, 5, 8g more over all those cuts adds up !
hydroton = i love it , its my fav , & i'll take some less grams for less headache
my total feed time per 12 hour lights on is 5x @ 5 minutes each time.
shit would killa kill some rockwool fast.
what's yours? how high do you flood?
im a low flood guy.... make those roots work for their slut water love.

yes.
its killing fields.
leafy bitch aint it?
but she was a mom , subject to that nasty heat wave in my lab , & more.
im soooooooooooo happy to be back harvesting again.

ah. no jenks. trying to stay consistent & not be lazy, she gets 100% trimmed again.
2x total. rough trim like you see. hits the screen for a few days.
then, after it gets crispy, i go back in for a surgical strike.
I have a trim pro rotor works killerIf the buds are really airy like that big one next to to the diet dew then I do a loose cut but if they are tight buds i do a surgical as you would say tight cut. Thats why the pic of the top of the jar are a bit leafy because they were some airy loose ass big buds!
Oh by the way do you use trimming scissors, plain scissors, or an electric trimmer?
I've always wanted to see all of these trimmers in action. I don't mind dropping the coin. But I hate buying shit that doesn't work. I was talking to a friend from Cali a few months ago. The amount of loot he spent on trimmers last year was insane. He does his thing outdoor.I have a trim pro rotor works killer
