Hi RIU,
First of all, just want to thanks this community and all you growers out there.
I got almost every info for RIU. Whats the better thing is you guys here are very nice and willing to get a check or hand on my grow. still keep learning.
ok back to the topic
Here is want I am planning to do:
10x5x7 grow tent in the room
4 foot T5 for clones and early veg
600 Watt MH with air cool hood for mid and late Veg
2 or 3 600 Watt HPS with closed loop air cool hood for flower
GH maxibloom with KISS method, Koolbloom for extra bloom.
Sentinel GPS MEF-1 modular Ebb and Flow system
With portable A/C in the tent
My questions:
1. How many bucket do you think its best for 10 x 5 tent? I been growing in 4 x 4 tent with 5 Gal DWC bucket.
I go up to four buckets i think its fine. but seems the bucket its a little smaller then 5 gal( its 10liter I think) and i also want to shorter the veg time. Im thinking if I should go with 8 or 12 buckets? the setup will be 4 buckets by two row, or 4 buckets by three row. but more buckets means more nutes and more maintenance. How many beckets would you go, if this is your grow?
2. What training method do you guys recommend over this setup?
I was think go with more buckets, and I can go sort of SOG and fit them in the net, that way I can have my girl growing equally to received the light.
3. I found GH Maxibloom its much cheaper than liquid ones. I live all the way across pacific ocean. Cost me a lot of money for shipping. Has anyone here use GH Maxibloom in similar setup?
4. Should I let the small clones to the system? or I have them veg bigger then to the system?
5. I want to put res out of the tent. but its gonna be hot during summer. Im worried about the res. temperature can not be stable at the time. Dont know whats the temp in the room going to be when A/C its in the tent. As I will have a portable A/C in there, so I dont want to waste any room in the tent if it doenst need to
Much appreciated and happy grow
