Hi,

I've been growing for a few years. Recently, I decided to try a reverse drip irrigation system. The strains that im running are 1 x GG#4, 1 x Blue Dream, 2 x Ultimate, 1 x Chocolate mint OG, 1 x wedding galeto, 1 x Gorilla kzittlez. Im using 2 x 600w hps. Im using Remo nutes.

Week 2 flower:

I'm looking at putting air stones in each of my buckets. I'm not sure the size of pump ilas it will need to support my 8 bucket system. I have about 5 inches of water at the bottom of each bucket which is returning back to my res.

If anybody can help that'd be great. Thanks!

Cheers! I've always wanted to apply this to cannabis from my horticulture experience in dry places. Learned it in the desert in the middle east where it was born. Don't mind if I pull up a chair as I'm new to this plant in that respect? (lifetime utilizer, however).

Newb here with input, but experience trumps all. Would rather admit I don't know and why rather than misinform you:

What's your water pH level at though?

Hi Trew,

Pull up a chair i have abunch rolled :)

I like to keep my rez ph at 6.2 during flower. During veg i keep it at 5.8. I'm really happy so far with my results. I've grown now for about 15yrs but I've always used either promix or coco. Using the drip irrigation i've found to provide superior results over the other two methods especially during .

I'll take any advice as I'm new to this technique. :)

For my own records I thought I'd provide an update picture. Today was the first day I upped the strength of the nutrients. Thinking I have about another 4 weeks left to go.
