I have 3 mediums to try. Promix HP-CC, Promix HP-M, and B'cuzz Hydromix HP.What mediums are you testing? Cuz I've been using Advanced Sunshine #4 for 3 or 4 months and experimenting.
It would actually be better to cut out that 3 gallon. I go clone to solo cup...to 1 gallon then finish in a 5....to allow quicker drying in between waterings when the plant is young to create more oxygen to speed up root growth.Hi you guys,
I'm not new to growing but new to soilless medium. I've done some looking around for info on how much soil to use but it's never specific... I'm looking for gallons per square foot for growing indoors. For instance if someone was using nine 5 gallon pots in a 4x4 that would be 45 gallons/16ft = 2.8 gallons per foot, but I come up with different figures looking at different people's grows.
I'm also used to doing ebb/flow so I don't know a lot on the effect of a plant being root bound. Is the goal to have enough media so the plant never get's root bound, or just enough that it get's root bound in the final weeks of flowering?
If I start rooted clones in 3 gallon pots for a 1-2 week veg and transplant to 5 gallon pots going into 12/12 would that be a good plan? The footprint will vary between 15"x15" and 17"x17" per plant, so for the sake of argument assume all my plants will get 16"x16" grow space. I could start in 1 gallon pots, transplant to 3 and then 5, but I'd like to cut out the first pot if possible.
So that's basically three questions, if anyone can help that would be great.
Thanks!
40% seems like too much to me. It sounds like a plan...i hope you have good luck. I've found that straight up soilless is hard for me to keep the perfect nutrient levels in. I've started blending mine 50/50 with Fox Farm Ocean Forest and so far, they look good.I have 3 mediums to try. Promix HP-CC, Promix HP-M, and B'cuzz Hydromix HP.
I'm going to try using between 1.5 and 2 gallons of mix in the 3 gallon pots and transfer from there to the 5 gallons.
The feeding method the guy at the grow store recommended was feed/water/feed/water...
Feed = drain to waste 40% of solution as the flush so if the plants need 1 gallon of solution to reach capacity I should water with about 1.5 gallons.
Seems wasteful... I'm thinking about PHing plain water and adding that first then using the nutrient solution to flush and replace the water. Does that sound like a good plan?
