Historically I used 40 gal res for m2 grow space with recirculating, replaced every week, and now I use half as much with DTW (40 gal res for 4 x m2 grow spaces filled 2 times a week (even if I used double the volume of solution it would then be the same as recirc). Again been doing this for a...

Looks pretty healthy but as padawan said, more light.

IF plant count doesn't matter sea of green decreases time to harvest significantly. ON small scale it is best, big scale too many damn clones. I do 1 or 2 plants per m2 in large grows because much less labor is involved (labor is usually highest expense in commercial) and time is valuable.

Its really not that critical, unless on commercial scale, just adjust to suit your needs. Always oversize fans and put on speed controllers if possible.

By visual inspection, do they look healthy? If so carry on, and if want to get fancy flush every 2-3 weeks. Just be aware your plants may have been using nutrients stored in the media and that would need to be replenished if completely flushed out. I actually use the rising EC over time in the...

Why wet weight? If that is a m2 grow area you could get a lb off that plant if that's what your asking, looks close

No, slower actually. IF you need speed at the cost of yield, high stress events in the last week of veg or first of flower, can get plants to finish a week or two earlier.

IF managed properly DTW uses the same or less gallons of nutrient solution than recirculating systems that are changed out every 7-10 days. Good luck; the recipe looks ok to me, I would add potassium silicate ( before adding part 1 and 2) less is more and adjust ph.

which is why I posted this cloning method showing that with basically nothing you can make a ton a product. used to have 3 120 unit ez cloners, but why? bet you'd think I was the bees knees if I showed you those pics of 3 filled ez cloners from 8 years ago; but since I used my brain to make...

actually ive been getting that for 3 years now

You're not very smart if you don't think its possible. Its not even close to max yields, probably about half. Some guys get 10+lb per plant. Pics coming if i get a break from living the high life; i have no reason to lie and doubt science, that would make me like you, something i will never...

Picture probably wouldn't help much here, though I will get around to posting some. I suggest Hydro DTW especially for a new grow; get a 300-800 gal stock tank from local farm supply store, drop in a big pump (1000+GPH) on timer, distribute with tubing to each plant. The key to high yields...

Castors! dont take an epic backyard like that and oof it by having to drag those pots around like a noob.

If you want max production get automated fertigation asap. Usually around a 4:1 ratio of flower to veg lighting. I get about 50lb per year with 8 plants (3 of them must be under 5") 8000watts of lighting, 1 room and 1 grow tent; no co2. In time I think I can get 60 or more. Sky's the limit is...

It doesnt matter if its 1 or 3 plants, it will end up as the same amount of biomass if the OP is doing it right. Meaning 1 or 3 plants will drink the same amount in that space under a 600 once its filled in. The res is small, it will be an issue regardless. For years I grew 6 plants per...
