Hey guys. I'm feeling more and more confident everyday to start my very first DWC hydro grow and was wondering if I get some last questions answered for me. I'm contemplating growing a sativa and indica at the same time to get two plants that affect me differently but I'm still unsure about some stuff so I'd appreciate any responses!
1. Are the root developments similar in sativa and indica plants? I know the height of the plant itself is but what about overall root length and development?
2. Whatever I'm flowering, I was thinking about making a DWC setup using a Rubbermaid container for 6 plants. Is there a general gallon size that would be just right for the root development of 6 plants without constricting them or inhibiting growth or flat out being bigger than what is needed.
3. Same thing with air stones. Is there a ratio or something that says if I have this big of a reservoir, I need this big of an airstone?
4. For this 6 plant DWC set up, is there a recommended HPS bulb? I've heard anywhere between 450W, 600W, and forth. I know more light doesn't hurt but I don't want to get the most expensive light on the market if it doesn't do anything more than a bulb wattage that is less and cheaper.
5. If I were to grow a sativa and an indica in the same DWC set up, how would I tie the sativa down so they both get equal amounts of light since of course the sativa will want to grow taller?
6. Sativas such as Kali Mist grow indoors. Approx. how tall do they get?
7. If for some reason I wanted to have 1 plant per DWC set up in like a little 2.5 gallon reservoir or something, what are the pros and cons of doing it that way as opposed to having 6 plants in a bigger DWC setup? Would I need a 20gallon pump for every single small reservoir or could I somehow hook them all up so just 1 pump is supplying the pumping for each container?
9. Is there a reputable store online that sells quality HPS lights including the ballasts and other hydro accessories for cheap?
8. Somewhat off the topic but what hell, thought I'd ask it anyway. What's the official smoke report of AK47? I've read some say it's more a cerebral high and some say it's more of a couch lock stone. Who's right? Does it maybe depend on how much you smoke? If it's more cerebral, do you think I could grow that and some northern lights since they would both give different effects yet grow similar in height, since I'm looking for a strain that will get me stoned and a strain that will get me high?
I understand there is a quite a lot of questions but the way I figure it is what I would try to get all my questions answered in one thread instead of clogging up the forum with multiple threads.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
