Hi everyone, i'm designing a closet-sized DWC + Hempys Buckets system. There will be 3 plants in a 1.5'x1.5'x3.5' closet. One in DWC, she will be a feminized high yelder bitch (PPP). The other two will stay in 2 1lt sized Hempys filled with hydroton only. The first has to get big and yeld a lot, the others will be regular freebies only intended to yeld as much as their ma in cola gets and have the only purpose to give me the occassion to try other strains and flavors.
The closet will contain only CFLs:
TOP: 1x 125wagro CFL (8000 lumen) + 2x 23w 1900 lm CFL
MID-TOP: 4x 23w CFL
MID-LOW: 4x 23w CFL
Total 325w, 27000 lumen.
Now, i won't be using any air pump, only flooding with a 140gal/h water pump which sprinkles water on the bottom of the 3.5" netpot filled with water.
The res is 8 gal filled with 6 gals of liquid, so water will circulate 20+ times/h.
The sprinkle is keeping the bottom of the net pot gently watered. It touches a few hydroton pieces and the Rockwool at the center is always moist.
I'll only use 5.8~ ph'ed tap water and GH flora (micro, grow, bloom) nuts. I'll veg until the main plant's height is approx less than 2/3 of the available height, then bloom.
I plan on changing the res water every 10/15 days and keep the lid open a lil to air the insidie everyday.
Now, questions time:
1 - Is 140 gal/h ok?
2 - Is the sprinkle on the botton of the cup enough to germinate the pre-cracked seeds?
3 - Will the 1lt bucket keep the plants from becoming huge? I really want an 1/2 oz each and i want em skinny, maybe with a good top cola only, space is an issue here. But if they die isn't a problem, the main plant's max healt/yeld is the main goal.
4 - Is a 2" roockwool ok? Will it support a 26" adult plant?
5 - Is a PPM meter really needed? I can't afford it right now and want to start asap.
6 - I plan on doing oil and Cakes, are plants grew with GH's chemical nutes edible? Will a 2 weeks flush solve the problem?
7 - Are the lights (27000 lm) enough?
Thanks in advance, pics will follow.
