Mohican....doing it like a boss ha ha! :lol: Man that Malawi was just monsterous, truly awesome work man!

Do you find that the nutes react with the tubs though Mo? Id be too scared of chemical reactions if they were out in the rain..

Naw eastcoast I haven't been able to find a shop or place that sells them. Those plastic tubs with the handles are the closest that I could find to pots without holes. The states haven't caught up with the Aussie style of growing. Hopefully the shops or some place will start to carry these. Or maybe I should move to Aussie Land

Wassup Flowa has things going. You got anything growing right now. I was wondering how you add the nutes in your res. I recall reading somewhere you said you add silica first then additives then base. Is this correct or do you do it another way.

I don't think I can handle a 20 foot tree this year! I will probably cut a clone off and yank the mother. I need that spot for my food garden :)

hey flowa! I haven't been around for a while, have started reading this thread I'm only about 20 pages in! now that summers over and my outdoor stuff is gone and no holidays planned I've decided to set up an indoor for the winter! few questions for you mate. I am in the process of building a grow room and growing 2 plants in the same set up you run, pretty much follow your style to a T. The room I'm building is going to be 2.2 long 1.1 wide and 2.3 high , I want to run 2 plants next to each other with a 400 watt on top of each, I was going to use 27 litre buckets I brought a 80 litre res which i was going to use for both plants, (same strain) now I'm thinking of going 50 litre buckets. Will an 80 litre res be sufficient for 2 50 litre bucket? Also I only have a 1050 litre/hr pump do you think that will be big enough for both? and last of all, What do you think about growing 2 plants from the same res? this will be my first crack at hydro So will have a lot to learn! will no doubt be asking you ALOT of questions along the way! thanks a lot man you kill it

FlowaMasta's Long awaited Methodology on how to grow Massive LB plants in under 3 months! I use a hempy style setup with 2 x 50 litrepots, one inside the other. My inside pot houses a potsock, a layer of hydroton on the bottom and large holes to allow draining, then completely filled with 100% coarse perlite. This easily drains right through the medium and down past the bottom pot, returns back into the res to be recirculated. The plant will only take up as much food as needed, But still being aware of food strengths. Perlite is an inert medium semi/organic, meaning it was sourced from an organic matter, then mass heated to produce these tiny bubbly light rocks that hold the perfect amount of nutrients and moisture to grow MASSIVE PLANTS!!!
I flush once a week and replace with good fresh clean nutrient, and only top up with fresh water and carbs if needed during the weeks cycle.



I'm going to start with the Basics first off.
Nutrients!!
I use Cycoflower, not a picky personal preference, just pick a good known clean quality liquid nutrient to start with if new to growing.
I don't use all products from Cyco, as i follow my own strict feeding schedule unique to my style of growing.
Grow A+B, B1 Boost, Silica, Dr. Repair and Floralicious from general hydroponics, which is a humic acid in a strong concentrated form used at .25ml.



Now i have started this grow with a plant that has been growing under a special gro-lux set of tubes, and is now at around 10 weeks of age, but day 1 in the new throne. I usually would start with a clone of around 2 weeks of age as most of you have seen in previous grows. I am quite ahead, but don't let that fool you. In 2 weeks time there will be a rain-forest happening.... Hopefully ;)

New Tent and Ducting setup. Stable 22.4 degrees inside the tent :) Glooooorious.



Here is my watering system, extra hidden fan inside the air-cooler hood. My Feeding system is a Automatic pin timer feeding setup, which is very simple, effective and easy to setup. I use a 45 litre res, an airstone, and good air pump, a 1000 litre/hr pump with 13ml feedline, and 19ml return. I slow the feedline inside the res by starting it as a 19ml then go into a 13ml this has eliminated my splash during the start of feeding, but now i just bury my feed-ring under some perlite and hydroton.

Here she is :) The hydroton balls just hold the feed ring in place. You don't want that ring to come loose. You will empty your entire res in 1 feeding. THAT ends up on your floor. Try explaining that to the mrs.



If there are any questions regarding anything to do with my setup, strain or anything, feel free to pop a post in, don't be shy!
Nice I was using this method in the early 90s great set ups back then I was running a 50x50lt pot system with high success
