    Mixing nutrients from salts

    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...

    runoff ppm's /EC

    Looks pretty healthy but as padawan said, more light.

    opinions on pot size?

    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.

    How Much Air Is Enough?

    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.

    runoff ppm's /EC

    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...

    1200grams-1600grams wet weight , possible ?

    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

    Switching lights to 11/13 thae few weeks of fower?

    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.

    Mixing nutrients from salts

    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.

    Hes a cloner

    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...

    New large grow.

    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...

    New large grow.

    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...

    Move to bigger pots or leave?

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

    New large grow.

    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...

    NFT 205 GT

    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...

    No, gold and palladium. Why? Id like that

    Move to bigger pots or leave?

    Bigger or you'll be watering all the time; plants that size are extremely hardy dont worry about stress. Just put mine in a 25 gallon on castors, i wouldn't be doing anything smaller than that for big plants. They generally double or triple in height during flower unless trained, some forethought

    NFT 205 GT

    Best ive smoked in a while was grown w/ rockwool in ntf; 2 of those systems should do fine in 1.2x1.2, change out res often though its small. Id put 3 plants in each drastically lowering veg time. 9oz from 400 watt is acceptable yields at .6 GPW but not a big harvest by any means. Ive pulled 1lb...

    Reservoir help

    Those brute cans work extremely well, I put them on castors, like my grow trays so everything moves. Also they are NSF certified plastic, which means something to me since I grow hydroponic vegetables as well. As for overfilling ive done it countless times but now I use a kitchen timer, or was...

    MaxiBloom every watering?

    use it every watering, if things start to look overfed flush with plain water, then resume feeding. 7g per gallon is the Lucas formula, ive used it on grows in the past from seed to flower; just that in RO, no calmag
