Of course if you're comparing 5 gal hydro vs 5 gal dirt. However he has 2.5 gal hydro vs 5 gal dirt which he was using before. This is why I was saying he is in for a surprise when I think he will yield less in his hydro setup vs his dirt.
Your canopy should be even across. You have one main stem and everything else is lower. Those lower buds are not getting the same amount of light. Ideally indoor you want a even canopy so all parts of the canopy get even light and produce more buds
No one has 2.5 gallon buckets lol he has 3.5 gallon buckets. He uses what i use and my current setup is on par with my old 7 gallon dirt grows. The problem is being root bound. With hydro my roots still have room after being in the same 3.5 gallon bucket for 4 months. That could never happen in dirt. With that being said i bet i could still bang out a nice 3 footer in a small 2.5 gallon bucket
HIs lower plant stalks still get the exact same amount of light as long as they arnt shaded unless of course you are in a hot spot or directly under your light. By bending the stem over the plant redirects its energy or auxins to the lower growth to allow for an even conopy which will yield better then a xmas tree style grow
Here ya go .. I did most of this today took awhile but i got it all picture ready. This looked nothing like this 4 hours ago. No trellis and more green. I was gonna do a root picture but i forgot. I still can if anyone wants to see them. They were all just growing regular with lots of green. I filled a bit less then a regular kitchen size garbage can with lower leaves and branches. Also I bought a Camera so no more shitty cell phone pictures! Pretty Basic stuff. Now just wait 3 weeks and ill post the results up until then
Yeah I can't wait till next grow, this was a test run with the system. Never used ebb&flow. Always outdoor. So this is a very big change for me. I've watched so many videos, forums etc so I kinda have the basics... everything is going great just have to do some changes next time for better yields. Height control and lollipoping will pretty much clear my main issues. Plants are healthy, solid gorgeous green. Getting sooo icy, hairs are still wildly long and white. This is roughly 34 days flower, I say this because I forgot to write down the exact date I switch flower but I know what week I did it on so plus or minus a few days.
Agreed! I only take pics at night now because with those bright lights you can't see much but plush bushes. All three plants were random bag seeds for the trial run. All are definitely different kinds tho, from the looks.
Just the three base General Hydroponic Flora Series nutes,
Might be mentioned in future posts but you'll definitely wanna get them ballasts up off the floor, if you haven't already.
Good catch!!! Do that asap to avoid a very possable electrical fire. Just throw em on a crate or a bucket or something
