I use coco because it's so much easier than soil. I've got the way I do it dialed in. Lights on a timer, exhaust fan runs 24/7, blumats for watering. I go days sometimes without even looking at my plants. I like automation. Gives me more time to enjoy other things.

With coco and blumats I just use the same growing medium and nutrients for every grow. I set it and forget it. That's all the plants need from me. I give them a place to live, nutrients and light. They do the rest.

Nice set up.

once you go good genetics from shit you'll understand why its the most important thing in the grow room

Joking. I have five of the shit/skunk strains. Shit X Shit/Skunk is just one of them.

First I learned that a 70 watt hps was not going to be adequate.

My first ever grow i gave nutrients every water period. Dumb move. Also let my plants rootbound tell mid flowering which killed my yeild. My recent current grow space may be a issue but ill manage

I thought that was preferred. If it was too much nutrients it would be better to jusy dilute it and still feed every watering? One mistake I made was trying to use the dosages on the bottle. Now I slowly work up to half strength.

Not me i went full on strength and the fact that i let them get root bound i could see through my buds many little holes and it was a indica dominant strain i was growing. Now i give my plants a nice healthy does of nutrients. Then give water for 1-2 weeks depending if im useing a grow feed or a bloom feed and how much. Most generally every time you give nutrients it's good for 2 weeks. Every day will indeed cause salt build up in the roots so it's good to run pure clean water in between to keep clean roots

I was doing fine when i was doing half strength on nutrients. Went to full strength and got nutrient burn. Recovered well. I think.
