I just rebuilt my indoor grow two years ago. I am watching Muddy's grow with interest. Old conservative that I am I will wait to see the proof in the pudding before I rip mine out and rebuilfd it like Muddy's. I will keep a very close eye on Muddy. I did harvest 12 plants last week and got a little over 6 oz. Not that great but I do have another 80 to go ready in January. We SOG bubbly guys just have to settle for a lot less per plant but we got a lot of em.

I thought you were the liberal and I was the conservative? :buds:

A couple more questions, one is on net pots. Is it advisable, or even possible, to easily go from a smaller sized one in veg to a larger one for flowering? The UC system uses 8" net pots and I'm looking at a veg system that uses 3.75" ones.

Chillers, can they support multiple reservoirs? I'd rather buy a little bigger one that will support both the veg and flower systems, rather than smaller ones for both.

my experience with net pots... dont try it... once the roots lock in on a pot... kiss it goodbye... but i always worked with smaller ones 1.5 - 2in.. maybe largers wont have the same amount of this issues... but my guess is they will.

Ones that small for veg you might just take the smaller pot, put it into the larger pot and route some of the roots through the holes and then fill it with hydroton. Thats what I would do. I do that with coco all the time.

there ya go TMM! :gthumb: :tip:

:roflcry: transplanting... what a novel concept!

 

[Jackal]

Same thing crossed my mind TMM, just didnt know if it would constrict root growth.

I haven't seen it do any harm in the past personally. If you don't care you could always slice one side of the 3.5 pot to give it expansion room if that's a concern.
