That's more what I was thinking when asking what your goal was. I may be forced to running only a couple of plants at a time so I'm looking at options right now including, dare I say it.....hydro!

Ok, why don't I just throw this question out there. If you are only able to have a maximum of 5 plants, including veging, at any given time, and you had 2 600s in two tents one meter square each, how would you do it?

This is what I've been chewing on lately.
I would do NFT 2 x gt205's 2 plants in each tray and 1 tray per tent and keep 1 vegging in dirt for my mother, this is what i plan on doing anyway with 3 per tray lol

what are NFT and GT205
The NFT GT205 Gro Tank is probably the most popular hydroponic system sold in the UK to date for the beginner. This is also a great size kit for those who have very little space for a system and it can easily support up to four medium sized plants, but two is generally better in this size system.

The NFT GT205 is an active hydroponics system that uses a pump to deliver your water and nutrients directly into the top tray of the system, where your plants roots lay. A shallow film of nutrient solution will cover the sloped top tray to feed your plant roots and then re-circulate back into main tank. The top tray of the system is moulded with channels to provide an even distribution of nutrient solution across all your plant roots, and a top tray cover is used to prevent any light penetrating the roots and destroying their growth.

Rockwool blocks are required for this system to grow and support your plants on the top tray of the system, roots will emerge from the blocks and spread into the fibre glass matting and across the top tray, with a regular supply of water and nutrients and access to loads of oxygen available to the roots, your plants will love it and grow extremely fast in this system.

Okay, I found a bad tutorial for oil, but this guy used a french coffee press for the filtering stage and that seems really smart to me. I'm off to Target lol.

I watched a YouTube vid...looks very promising actually

To do a re-veg do I have to just cut off the branches, or can I cut the trunk short and leave a few small leaves or branches at the bottom?

I got it wrong last time and ended up with 15 zips off 3 plants which is not bad considering i was fighting root rot for the last month, they hardly grew because of the rot lowering ph down to 3-4 everyday, i will be doing it again when i find another mother only draw back is i'll only be growing 2 strains @ a time instead of 4-6

Vegging

end result :)

I would go with 2X Vertical SCROGS and in Hydro; either drain to waste, or my preferred method (DWC) and I would 'top' multiple times and supercrop every bud worthy stem !! - That should do the trick :) - STELTHY :leaf:

Bill that looks to be a great camera!!
Stealthy , how long did u veg that thing??
What a monster. And how did u keep it so short?
I vegged her for 2.5 Months! Below I've added a LINK to the begining of this Grow, I've documented the whole thing but its a huge thread that includes my last grow too... I will add the LINK starting at the begining of my latest Grow "Royal-Haze" pictured above (Top)..

In this LINK I start by just finishing adding things to my Cab. then from that point on its all on the plant in question and lots and lots of pics, Please browse through and let me here your thoughts :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I am gonna check this out......

Is a flood tray as effective as other hydro techniques?

If you get it dialed in... I think so. (although I've never used them)
I have the flood tray and stuff already is why I ask.
I could buy buckets and make a dwc I suppose too for not much money...I just would have to understand better how it works.

Growing full on hydro is not as forgiving as soil or coco but if you practice and get it rite the yields can be huge

I can tell you have DWC works. You get a bucket or storage bin. Cut a few holes the size of net pots in the top. Put some plants in it. Get an air pump and some air stones for bubbles in the water. Add water and nutrients. Ph the water. And hold on for explosive growth.

I personally think it's the way to grow. I also think scrogs are the way as well. DWC Scrogs FTMFW!!!

I think it's a myth that hydro is 'less forgiving'. One bad measurement of nutes with soil and you are in big trouble. You never really know what's in your dirt, but you can always read a meter in hydro and KNOW you've got it sorted.

As for scrogs vs trees vs sogs vs idon'tknowwhat is a tough question though. Stelthy vegged for 2 1/2 months. I veg for maybe ten days so I save say 60 days per cycle. His plant might even outyield my 50, but my annual yield is probably greater because of faster turnaround. Of course, if you have two giant plants like that, on in veg, on if flower, that's an equine of an alternate hue.
