Hey guys, i wasn't sure where to post this, but whats a reliable and easy way to grow?
Im having an issue understanding here, because i think every method and medium has its issues, drawbacks, and definite benefits, and albeit work that goes with them...
Ive tried a few different things in my time growing, which isn't too long, but I've managed to pull of a few crops over the years using dirt, indoor and out door, and dwc buckets. Ive baby sat a friends grow, who was doing ebb and flow and actually made one of the most bad ass tray of cuts I've seen in person to date! Ive played around a bit with bio buckets in my garden now, and a little bit of coco.
Bio buckets was a dream system for me, i was under the impression it was almost plug and play, with some top offs here and there, yet it hasn't been anything like that for me, in fact its been super difficult to do anything! leaks, pump failure, over fert from the tap i was told to use, stunt from over water (i wasn't sure that was possible but someone is certain it happened), root rot(! using heisenbergs tea!) the system is really loud! and have yet to actually finish a flower due to all these issues.
i was anti soil due to it being dirt in my house, i felt the water was just better, no bugs or spores or anything crazy being brought from outside. but I'm open to the idea of coco, or even going full blown organic with something like sub cools super soil, but that seems like it has its issues as well... also flushing seems like a hugeee Bi*** so I'm hoping theres and easy way...like trays or something that control the flow of the drain.
I read all kinds of things about how wonderful rdwc is but i can't get it. I'm curious if its my climate/ geographic region? or some other sort of user error
But ideally I'm looking for a system that grows itself, with minimal work, and perpetual, at this point I'm believing it could be ebb and grow...? as I've seen good things, and like the fact that its not dwc, and still hydro... i get to keep the pumps i paid for and still use the feed lines/rez i built. or should i not be so attached to a few items and re work it? its tough as i don't want to quit if i could be so close to success with the bio buckets.
any one have any advice as to what i should go for? and/or willing to answer questions as i go along? it would be much appreciated as I'm having quite the difficult time growing, Murphy's law has been in full effect :/
im bordering between still going bio(like 10%) going simple hydro ebb and flow: one or two really large plants per bulb(45%) or coco or organic dirt around a bare vertical bulb with like 4 -5 plants per.... bringing a new one in each week or so making perpetual.... which sounds exiting as i could have any many strains at once, but I'm scared yield could be an issue. ii like the idea of trees, but am open to doing lots of cuts in trays if it effect...
I have two 600 cool tubes, a 400 watt cool tube, and i think space on the breaker for one more light :p i also have a 15000 or 1800 but a/c and am struggling to keep it warm atm =D but with tine adjustments of the inline fan i can make it much warmer so i basically have full weather control >=J oh in a 10X 12 bedroom
edit: i guess this cold have been in grow room design my bad
