@SpitXFire can you go a little more into the flova nova bloom doseages? And what can be expected from a 3x6 tray of 1 week vegged sfv's in 1 gallon bags of coco?
in this setup of yours would you be doing a 50/50 coco perlite mix?@Toaster79 major congrats bro.
@gardnguyahoy pondliner on the floor, as many watts of lights you can fit with room and ac restrictions. Flora nova bloom, tap water, 1 gal growbags, Coco perlite. Cram as many bags as possible, 1 week veg from rooted clone flip and stake. Youll smash it ezpz with quick down time btwn cycles. Ez like soil growth like hydro. Sea of green on steroids without worrying about rez needs. Works well with handwater with wand
7-8 ml per gallon, bottled lucas 1 part with humates. provided the lighting, just make sure your water isnt too hard. I think you should be easy able to smash 2 and reach 3-4 per tray, staking and quick flip seems necessary with OG's when you cram em, since they get viney. but should out put a good yield vs veg time compared to netting and trellis, since they stretch pretty good.. I'll tag ya in a system similar to one i used to use before I using longer veg times/netting/lower plant counts ( GG4 made me totally switch up my system, my Black domina, didnt veg nearly as fast and not nearly as big, so I used to cram em in like a motherfucka)@SpitXFire can you go a little more into the flova nova bloom doseages?

I actually use hydroton, i hate dealing with perlite, and perlite dust. But I used to run 50/50 if autofed, closer to 70/30 if hand watered, to retain substrate moisture betterin this setup of yours would you be doing a 50/50 coco perlite mix?
@suomynona how you liking the #43? had my eye on her for awhile, on the cusp of getting her...
I guess im just confused how it works. Say i have a 50 gallon tub of water for a res. Just plain water. So i add my nutes to the res. Is a low e.c. mean its time to add more. Do i just grow off the same nutes the whole time, do i flush and add new water and new nutes now and again? : Swhen your "saying feed through the res"; your speaking about applying nutes rather than the plumbing right?
Guess when I did the flood and drain I bought one of the pH/Temp/EC monitors (hanna), so I could always keep track. Each day I would adjust the EC, via either r/o or adding nutes (mixed with some water). Next I would adjust the pH. Never had to mess with temps. The pH tended to need messed with to a greater degree than the EC I suppose. You could just as easily test with meters too, not required for a monitor.
You can get a mechanical timer down to 15 minutes on some. Cheap digital timers often go to 1 minute; so a timer should be easy. If your doing rockwool though; I cannot suggest a time or interval as I've not dealt much with it.
edit: guess it was Flora nova bloom at the time too.
Oh ok.
Well you start with a res at XX EC. Relative to what stage your at and for your strain. Say you want to run an EC of 1.2; you start with your 50 gallon tub full (to running level) of this fresh nutrient mix. Same as if you were intending to feed that to plants. Instead, you pump that through your table and the plants will remove salts and water. As well there is water removed via evaporation. Depending on how much is lost from evap and how much your plant drinks; at the end of 24hrs you may need either water or more nutes. Whatever interval you would like to check at, but once a day is probably fine for EC. For me, I would adjust anytime it varied more than 0.1. I don't suppose you would have to keep it that tight, but if it get's too low; then your plants will begin to mobilize nutes from itself. More or less the intent is to keep the EC (and pH) stable in your res, so that the plants always get that; however whatever works without being a hassle there.
I imagine you'll get differing opinions on when to change the res; though personally I wouldn't go beyond 10-12 days. Some may say a week and some possibly as long as 3. In any case; after XX period of time you need to dump out the res as "waste" and re-start with new solution. So basically keep it all stable for 10 days then change it all out for new; repeat the process. For final flush, if you do that; many just swap out the res with plain water every couple of days until the EC doesn't rise.
