It never is nothing... especially when it is this long...lol...
im doing ebb n flo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there was a safe and simple way to have multiple strains in one 3x6 flowering tray
First thing you need to do is start using POTS... I use gallon pots for all my plants on EBB/FLOW...
You do not want roots all tangled together... you need to move the plants, so they need to be in POTS...
I have 4 strains intermixed in my trays... no problems at all, although some finish faster than others...
I let my pH wonder from 5.6 to 6.1.. but the target is 5.8...
I run a constant 1400 PPM from flower to harvest, and 100 PPM for the MOMS...
i have to be honest,im a noob and i jumped out the window because truth be told..economy got me fucckked up..
The economy has us all fucked up... now try snapping your leg in 7 to see how much that helps...
There is always someone worse than you... count your blessings...
I count mine... the dic was just telling me about a dude that fell 4 stories and landed on his head... broke his neck... at the hospital, they DROPPED HIM and he brome his spine and neck in a few more places...
Leg snapped in 7 ???? I am so lucky..!!!!
and i figured if im going to get things rollin then to go as big as my money can take me,
Remember... the police can take you places too...
Welcome.. I hope some of this makes sense....
Also,wanted to know,i have aPROX. 3.5 FEET BTWN TRAY AND HOOD LIGHT,whats the max height i can get on a single cola grow?
You can get it to grow as tall as you can have it without burning it...
I am not good with dimensioning as you proposed, but I say this...
If it is burning your plant... IT IS TOO CLOSE...
The right distance is the one that allows mega light without burning...
I went with air cooling and I have a couple of plants brushing against the glass... but they are not burning, so I ignore that they are 5 inches from the 600 HPS...
..my tallest plant is like 8" and my hydro store guy (who i think doesnt know shit) said to me that my plants maybe to close to the light because i called today and said i see the tips of leaves turning yellow and curling up.
If they are burnt... than that is what it is... burns..
But if you have a nute issue.. moving the plants 30 feet from the light will not cure it...
if my plants are to close to the light at this point then im truly al b. fuct because i cant go any higher nor can i lower plants for obvious reasons..
Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance...
What Can I Say?
i wanna learn everything there is about sog style growing..
There is no learning everything about anything...
if im buming you guys out because im a noob then i apologize,but im doing alot of research..
You are not burning me out... yet...
in fact...right here on this site in the FAQ's they have a topic called what levels should i maintain my hydro system ph blah,blah,blah..
They have a lot of good posts here, you are right....
What did you learn from that post?
Gotta link to it?
i followed that teqnique to the letter and i think i have nute lock now because plants are 20 days old and alot of bud sites but no new growth..
OK... stop thinking... that will kill your plants....
You need to correct your pH to 5.8 and your PPM to 1200 to 1400... maybe even 1000PPM to start...
anything else you do, will not help... do not buy any products...
Get your pH right and don't under/over feed....
im so worried because i read the strains im using that they should be ready in 50-60 days and 20 days has gone and i dont think im even gonna get 14 g pr plant let alone an ounce..
Another big mistake ... a common one too...
I grow because I love the plants...
I do not expect anything from them...
I love them and take care of them the best I can....
My goal is for them to survive...
At the end, if I gave them enough LOVE, they MAY show their appreciation by putting out some buds....
You should grow your plants for the love of it...
How much you get is up to them... and it is a GIFT... not an obligation they have...
Remember that and you will always have plentiful harvests
if any body can help me start from scratch i would appreciate it greatly..
OK now you are loosing me...
Start from scratch...
Get your plants in POTS...
Get your pH to 5.8
Get your PPM to 1200 to 1400...
What media are you using? straight hydroton? any RW? any RR? adjust your flood schedule accordingly...
Size your plants to the space you have...
Turn the light on 12 hours of the day... make sure the other 12 are completely dark....
What did I miss guys?
please my livelyhood is riding on my 1st grow ever (yes its that ruff)..
OH OH !!!
Sour point there.. at least with me...
Grow your own... better yet.. learn to grow your own...
Make money by working... if you can bring in some extra... great, but I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST YOUR PLAN....!!!!
Get a job dude.. I'm serious... it takes time and a very long learning curve to put on a commercial op... to see profits... you really have to know your shit...
like i said im so confused now through all my research mostly from FAQ's as far as once i got ebb n flow setup
I really hope my advice helped... especially the part where you shoulf get a job...
If you get a big ass comm op going and don't need to work... then quit...
But you are looking at 4 to 6 months before your rent is paid....
But then again who the fuck am I? and what the fuck do I know...?
P.S. ILL TRY TO GET BETTER PICS IN..WACK ASS CM. PHONE
Get some pots... adjust your shit... change your mind... and then get us some pics...
I am more than willing to help, but I will say this....
I am not nice, I will not spoon feed you, if you fuck up I will laugh...
If I see that 5 am talking but you are not listening, I will shut up... and stay quiet...
So if you want some help....
Let's see them changes....
Cheers..!!
and God helps us all....
