Under 1000w ushio
It depends on your style of growing and your height restriction. If you're running 36 plants under that 1000, 16 inches tall is about perfect. I run fewer plants and grow them bigger so I'd think 11 inches moving into flower is too short for me. If you're running aero, 11inches going into flower means your plants will be 4 ft tall in a matter of weeks. Basically, it all depends.

viridi... depending on the strain... I flip a few different strains at 12" I run a very similar setup to HB and same nute lines, at 12" going into flower they typically finish about 3' tall. with 16 plants under a 1k light, even a raptor you are going to overcrowd, your best bet is to cut back the bottom 50-75% of each plant and force as much energy to the top as you can as the under branches will yield little or nothing in that crowded room.

Sorry for jumping in, this is HB's thread but just wanted to share my opinion due to doing similar as viridi a long time back. DG is a great product hands down.

I'm so damn jealous of you. (Thai x Colombian Gold) x (c99 x Romulan) sounds like a phenomenal strain. Bred by a friend? Where'd you find this beast? I hope my plants come back half as beautiful as this.
It's bred by a guy named Classic and you can find that cross along with many others at SeedDepot: http://www.seeddepot.nl/cannabis-seeds/classic-seeds.html

I've not smoked the cross yet but will definitely be updating my journal with a smoke report of the different ladies I have (https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/566752-classic-seeds-grow-journal.html).

So about 7 ml's of nutes per gallon during veg to play with and 15 ml's during flowering? With RO water would this keep my ppm's around 200 for veg, and 400 for flower?

So a 45 sec flood with low ppm water, correct? Then back to normal strength nutes afterwards, right?
I use a hose and run tap water through the tops of the blocks to leach salts.

That's way too much plant food per gallon. For 'dirt', I'd recommend the 'maintence' dosage listed on the bottles themselves.

Thanks again hb and + rep. I hate to keep bothering you with questions. I am at 4 week of flower and I am getting brown tips with yellow leaves and some of the leaves have brown spots on them. I have looked on several forums but keep reading several different things such as mg def, over nute ect. What do you think this could be? Flora nova bloom at 700ppm was at 800/830ppm on .5 scale, 5.8ph checked daily. Ph stays very stable, ph checked with Hanna Meter. 3 two min floods in 4in rock wool. There are yellow leaves all over some plants more than others all ak 47 from clone. And all plants have very minimal to small brown tips. Some have more yellow leaves with brown tips and brown spots and leaf curl turning crispy.

You're probably not flooding long enough and you're probably overfeeding them. It could be many things though.

Hi, I know this is a old thread but I need to know something I cant find on the forum... The exact recipe for the DynaGro Grow and Bloom as well as the florablend and floralicious mls per gallon.
What i did get so far is: EX veg = 0.7 and Bloom =1.0 to 1.2.
Veg: Grow 5-10ml per gallon
Bloom: 1ml grow, 7ml bloom, and 5ml protec K per gallon,

What about the florablend and floralicious? How much and when?

I am blind (I use a screen reading program that makes searching tedious and time consuming) and spent a couple of hours reading this thread and looking around the site but I just cant find this info... I may have just missed it but please post it here for me. :) I would really appreaceate the help!!!

You've got the important info in bold there, just mix it up and figure out how many mls it takes to get to those numbers. I don't know the numbers off the top of my head. I should add that I do like protekt in veg too.

I use floralicious plus as directed on the bottle but only use it in flower.


i need a link for the cheapest 6" block in bulk??.. bcuzz, or cutilene paragro?? any suggestion?
I like the b'cuzz blocks over grodan. The grodans are more dense, they'll hold water for longer and in some environments that's good but it mine it encourages the algae/gnats/mold cycle.
 
Hey HB. Awesome comparisons you run. I like how unbiased you are

Anyway, I was wondering. Once you have a clone rooted, do you put that clone directly into the 6 inch block or do you have a another step in there somewhere before going to the final block? Also, IF you do go straight into the 6 inch block OR if somebody were to take a clone and put it into a 6 inch block, do you/would you flood the tray less in early veg due to the rockwool holding a good amount of moisture compared to other mediums?

Also, when you ever need to add PH down or PH up to the rez do you just put alittle in STRAIGHT?, or do you dilute it in water and then add it in?

Thanks alot buddy. I wish there were more of them like you on here...

I try to go straight into the blocks once the clone has rooted. I'll also flood less times during the day since the plant isn't drinking a lot of water at those early stages.

Also, when you ever need to add PH down or PH up to the rez do you just put alittle in STRAIGHT?, or do you dilute it in water and then add it in?
I add it straight at a few mls at a time and the only times it's really needed is during a res change. Even though my mix lands at 5.7, I'll 'pH up' that to 5.8-5.9.

Sup Homebrewer,

Major thanks on recommending Dyna Nuts, I don't plan to switch over to anything else endless I am doing organic outdoor. Major success using Dyna in ebb and flo. My concern is do you need to PH in flushing using ro water? (I currently do ph it in flushing, I only ad hygrozyme and H2O2 to get the resvoir and equip cleaned or try to!) I'm sure answer is here somewhere, but I have read you thread twice and wrote down many notes, spent last hour trying to look for answer. Anyhow, If you can provide to some valuable info as to why or why not.. Thanks in advance.
