Never claimed it wasn't less efficient. It still waste more water and nutes than a recirculating system. I just don't care. To me, giving them fresh nutes every time allows more control over the root zone and pH. It also alleviates unbalanced nutrient ratios in a reservoir. I've thought about...

This is why drain to waste really isn't that wasteful. Once you realize that you can/should feed far less then what is often recommended the "waste" part isn't bad. Now if someone were to feed what the manufacturer recommends you would use up quite a few nutes. Same with the additives. Most...

@ttystikk is right. The glass alone is one thing but if you don't keep the glass clean your output suffers considerably more.

You lose something like 5% for every piece of glass the light passes through. And yes, the bulb counts as one also. So you now have 3 layers. If you have to air cool then you have to do what you have to do. Its not much of a loss but it does take away from bulb performance.

Why don't you read the bottle? I mean, you are pretty much getting a general census that AN sells a bunch of gimmick products to gullible people that fall for their claims. If you worship AN, and have already supposedly gotten noticeable results from it... why are you asking us how to use it?

Sounds like you answered your own question. They're only going to get bigger, especially after stretch. And its going to take a couple months to flower...

For one you temps are too high for that low a humidity. According to your pic its about 90 with a humidity of about 47ish. You need to be around the orange color. You need to drop your temps or get that humidity way up. At 90 you should have humidity around 80%. Your plants close up their...

I haven't used rockwool but a few times, those little starter plugs, didn't have much success with 'em and wasn't impressed. Rockwool takes to long to dry out, imo. Some have luck with it but I would use either coco, perlite or clay pebbles. Clay pebbles will require frequent cycle times, much...

Flood and drain is way more forgiving than DWC. You don't have to use air pumps, you can if you want but unnecessary. Water temps aren't near as important, so no water chillers. Reservoir changes are a piece of cake compared to most DWC systems. You have to start plants with a drip ring or other...

I think most everyone would prefer flood and drain over most other types of growing, if they gave it an honest shot. Its so easy and results are on par with ANY other system out there.

Since you upgraded your light and increased output by like 300%, you said you were at 150 watts, now you're at 450. If thats correct the plants having troubles may just need more food. More light means more work means more food consumption. They might be starting to cannibalize themselves do to...

I still top and crop them out a little but no, I don't get crazy with it and scrog them out. I've used scrog screens in the past and they are more of a pain, for me anyways. I like to be able to move the plants, or completely remove them all-together. When one herms out or gets mites I like to...

I have been thinking about giving a 100% perlite medium a chance. I'm thinking about putting something similar together, pretty much like a dutch bucket system in a flood table. Something I can feed faster than coco. Nice looking setup you got there. How often do you run your pump?

Yes, seperate res for each table. At least 20 gallons. I just use totes for resservoirs but I recommend buying actual flood tables.

6 plants on 3x3 tables. Like to veg for about a month but have also gone 12/12 from seed. Just think of it as automated watering, you can still veg small plants on flood tables in smaller pots, even solo cups, then pot them up as needed. I use a small trough flood table/rockwool gutter thing...

I've been growing off and on for quite a few years. I pretty much had to teach myself through shit loads of reading how to grow. Nobody I ever knew grew weed. Back then everybody would rather cook dope. I would say I have a moderate amount of experience but no expert. The way I grow I only yield...

Still running... 1/2 tsp/gal dyna gro 7-9-5 1/4 tsp/gal calimagic 1/4 tsp/gal pro tekt 1/8 tsp/gal kln pH down to around 5.8

I think the quality would benefit from from using the two together as this would allow much better spectrum. I don't know if you would see much of yield difference with only 2 400 watters and in that amount of space by using just HPS over both. I could be wrong. I am about to try out those new...

The guys at your hydro store can show you all you need to know, not much, about flood tables and they will have the right fittings, pumps, timers and hose/tubing you need. Flood and drain is bottum feed. Pump nutrient in, let it set for a few minutes, shut pump off, it all drains back to...

I would just use RO water and forget about it.
