So is pouring in a lot more solution than needed kind of like what rm3 describes as his make it rain technique? If your system is successful please share the results im interested in hearing about it.

This is all about keeping it simple. Dry nutrient salts just like the hydroponics it still is, Tupur in pots of increasing size, I'm not draining to waste, I'm recycling for a few weeks and then dumping for a fresh batch.

Once they're in their final 5 gallon bucket, they get some time to fill it in and grow up. Then for a few weeks before bloom, they go into a SIPS style tub, where the bottom is kept up to 6" deep in nutrient solution. They only get watered from the top occasionally.

None have been moved into bloom yet, but I'm guessing the occasional topfeed will certainly help and will be a good delivery system for teas, etc.

What happened to that magical nutrient profile you boys were concocting?

I was gonna use mine until it showed weakness, then work out what was missing. So far, there doesn't seem to be anything missing...

The guy who turned me on to Tupur gave me pH and EC ranges and I'm following them. My batch of veg girls look as healthy as any I've ever grown indoors, so I'm standing pat. Unless it's broken, I see little point in fixing it.

You should test this on a few veg clones/seedlings: Make a hole in the medium in your pot, 2" wide ans 3" deep. I use a piece of 2" plastic pipe. File the hole with worm castings. Plant directly into that. the nutrients and micro life accelerate root development. I have seeds sprout 12-36 hours before those planted in any other fashion. Clones root quicker also. Just keep the nutes light for a week to ten days. You may find this to be another, incremental improvement.

225W of CXB3590 3500K doesn't hurt, either!

And I've discover a use for rockwool....... bury nuclear waste in it, it never rots........... I stopped using it as it is a problem waste material, and it is an energy intensive to make.

I installed an 860W CDM Allstart lamp in my prebloom veg, to give it some more horsepower. At first I ran it on a mag but just a couple days ago I borrowed a lfsw ballast from a buddy and I just got that installed. I can't tell whether it's making that much more light than the mag did, but every little bit helps!

What are you using for pots?
