I'm trying to pick nutrients for my next grow. I will be growing Kushberry, Kandy Kush, and Nirvana NL. Cost is a big factor in things, but staying organic with a hard to mess up nutrient is also prime.
Here's the basics of the grow:
Mothers:
up to 4 plants
400w Hortilux Bulb
400w Lumatek Balast
Hydrofarm Cooltube
Custom made drip system
Rockwool mini Cubes
6" Magnum Square pots
Mothers will be kept at 900ppm under Ionic Grow, plain tap water w/ added Hygrozime. They get sprayed weekly with a solution of Fossil Fuel, Nitrozyme and Thrive alive green (5-6 drops of each to 500ml distilled water, weak mix)
Clones:
Sunleaves Pioneer Jr IV 96w T5 6000k
Homebox XS
Trays, heating mats
Right now I will be taking clones in root riot cubes, with clonex gel in a humidome. Should be adiquate.
Flowering and Veg (not built):
Three Shelf Stadium, 6.5 x 6.5 x 6.5
2000w, Dual 1000w Sunmaster Warm Deluxe MH w/ C.A.P. Valueline Ballasts
Two C.A.P. 8" Inline Ducts
Can Filter 1000 38 Special
Sunshine Mix #4
36 Plants, 3 Gal Pots
Hydrologic Small Boy Filter (Zero Clorine!)
I'll be running 3-4 weeks of veg after the clones are well rooted. They will be transplanted into 1 gal pots and arainged around 1000w of light, 18 hours a day. Once they are root bound they will be transplanted into 3 gal pots and both bulbs will be turned on.
Now for nutes, I have some want to stay organic. However I'm looking for something easy to use. I will be delivering the nutes from a 50 gal trash can w/ a pump and watering wand, spraying each pot with the nutes.
Right now, I have calculated out the cost of nutes for the following lines, using their feeding charts.
Fox Farm: $145
Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom
+ Solubles (Open Sesame, Beasty Blooms, Cha Ching)
Botanicare: $150-160
