Hello all,
Ive been looking at this site for some time now, and feel that theres a lot of people here that now how to grow. Ive been growing for years now, but have come to the conclusion that I need help to increase my yields.
I have a perpetual setup. 600 watt HPS lights (batwing reflectors) for flowering, 400 watt MH for late vegging (3rd to 6th week after a clone gets roots) and fluorescent lights before that. I use soil, Miracle grow potting mix, which I mix with sand. I use two types of pots 2 gallon pots (the great majority) and 5 gallon pots. Under each light, I place between 6 and 15 pots, depending of the size I use.
I also have a aero setup, but I am only experimenting with it .. so far I have 3 grows in it, so I am not too concerned about this part.
For nutes, I use the entire line of Dutch Masters Gold. Before, I used the entire line of Advanced nutrients, but I changed that, since it was a lot more complicated . More expensive, too much time wasted on feeding (too many different additives) . And not a significant change in yield compared to dutch masters.
For feeding, I follow the instructions for a 2 gallon reservoir, and use a jug (2 gallon) per 600W light (6 o 15 plants), since that is what it takes to water them. This is where I feel I might be wrong; since my aero setup has 15 plants and a 12 gallon reservoir, so I end up giving them 4 to 6 times the amount of nutes that I give my soil plants. No one has ever answered me this part, and Ive called advanced nutrients and dutch masters.
My overall yield is 9 oz of dry bud per 600W light. I am pretty sure I can hit a pound per light, with the right help.
I have CO2 generators, which I dont use when I tried using them, my plants almost died. Also, the plants are inside rooms with 24/7 Air conditioning, to maintain a good temp.
My strain is a mix of big bud, Ice and another I cant remember . But I am in the process of changing everything to a single strain, northern lights.
