Hi All,
This would be my first actual tent set up and I'd say big grow lol. I've done two single plant soil grows and I felt that I was ready to hop onto something bigger and easier to maintain. I did some research and decided to go with the Ebb & Flow set up . Tent size is 4x4x7'7 running 1000w in a air cooled hood, I know.. it's a bit much and will get hot =\ but that's what I have so far lol. Here's a list of what I have, I have everything assembled but just waiting on the actual 4x4 flood table to come in.
I'm looking to run the 9x Hugo Blocks with GG4 clones from a local dispensary. Would it be okay to follow the Fox Farm feed chart ? I will give half suggested amount of nutes just to see if every things okay.
For now I will need to use Tap Water since I dont have a budget for the R/O Filter system yet.
Now I just need to figure out how many times to flood the tray. How high to flood it to etc etc. From what I've read its 2x a day for 15mins when veg and 3x for flower? Of course there will be revisions to this. I think I'll need to hand water the first few weeks to get the roots situated into the Hugo blocks as well. Before I do that I know I need to soak the blocks for 24hrs in pH'd water.
I'm also confused on how I would flush with just water if the 45gallon reservoir is filled with nutrient water. Or is this completely unnecessary since it's hydro? That the rock wool does not have any kind of nutes so the plant would need to be fed daily with nutes? When I was running the soil grow, I'd go 1 day nute & 1 day water .
Is there a guide or step by step on how the feeding system works? I also see alot of growers using the small lava rocks? or the one's that look like orange eggs lol. Is that necessary or can I just run the Hugo Blocks on the tray itself? I've also read about cocomats and stuff but not sure if all that is needed. I'm aiming for 1-2 Ps a harvest, I know it will be hard or maybe impossible but we will see.
Any suggestions on how long to veg/flower for, how far to keep light away from the plant, if I should run the ballast at 100% , 75%, or 50% on the veg stage. I'm assuming I will go 100% when I flip 12/12 .
I tried my best to research but still not understanding 100% . Once I have everything set up , I will make a diary on here if that's allowed.
Thank you all!
