Gonna make ya switch to subsoil, 20oz styrofoam cups n one of these NFT systems! Ha ha
I know how ya love them cups! But my colas are just as big in a 20oz cup as most peeps 5 gallon buckets n everyone thinks they are super tasty. I use maybe 1/3 nuts as most n flush a ton though.
I yeild over 2 grams per watt continously bro n I don't got a million bulbs danglin vert all over. Anyone can grow dank like that. No co2 either stuffs bad for the environment n fresh air is free.
I built my first hydro over 15 years ago n reverse engineered it from a Israeli tomato farm. I just miniaturized it. For years I used nutrients from walmart I tweaked n adjusted with crap from the pet store. Simple is always better for stoners I'll be damned if I need a million different formulas to grow with....Whos making these mixes up anyhow? hmnn lets smoke there meds frist why don't we. I taste soap! lol
Hear something funny about 17 years ago I got mites first time bad n hit up my bro Marc Emery for a solution....he reccomended totally destruction n restarting! Damn nowadays everyone knows about
neem oil n mites are just part of the game anywhere warm. I got the idea for neem from organic grape farmers originally.
IMO hydro is overkill for veg n moms though. Who needs 5-6 inches a day really. I get healthier more compact growth passive hydro n trays then bloom about a foot tall when the roots hit bottom.
Bad news.
Talked to bro the Ras completely wiped his show out. He tried evrything not super toxic he could find. Bombed cleaned n started all over dude. Now he don't mess with anyones plants but his. I took cuts my new plants n trashed them last night super paranoid of these monsters I never seen RAs but they didn't have roots for shit when I transplanted them either....quaratined them though outside.
Sorry Bro.
Peace
