Just wanted to share with you some things I have learned from this place and experience. I bought this fancy closet set up and started growing hydroponically, ebb and flow, with a 400w and 600w set up to perpetually keep 22 plants in stages, finishing 11 4.5 feet plants every 45 days. Everything was going beautifully until the first problem. I didn't know how to use a timer and instead of 12/12 I went from 18/6 to 24/7 and used all my space. Well..... I chopped them all in half and then did the 12/12 correctly, killing 6 of 11 plants in the process. So I have 5 plants flowering quite nicely. Now I am a quiet kind of fellow and I had a partner and a girlfriend. Nobody else in the free world knew that I was growing...... wrong...... long story short, broke up with girlfriend and 2 of her friends told me to move whatever I was doing because the ex and her new flame were planning to rob me. Sooooo..... I jerk out the not finished ones and dried them anyway...... not very good but gave ya a buzz crap. The young vegged ones I put outside. Mind you I had these hydroponic things in 6 inch Grodan cubes. I planted the cubes in dirt. They did ok. Some died, others didn't. It's September and they are budding but the yield would be really weak so I thought.... let's pull these weak a$$ plants inside and see if I can reveg for clones. I put them in the closet under 24/7 and lo and behold I just cut clones yesterday. I couldn't believe that they went from full bud back to veg and lots of new growth. We'll see if the stress causes Hermie or not. Anyhow, learned a lot from the experience and thought I'd share. Be careful out there Ladies and Gents!
