I will surely give them a try on my second order 4 sure. I hope to get the last things needed to start tomorrow. Al I need is the medium and some Ph tools. I am going to try FD's
method as close as possible. I have my rain water, a air pump, air stone, egg shells (ground/powdered) them today,
my light is a 125w and it says 6400k is this going to be ok in my tent ? I think I read in another post under the cfl growing that maybe I can use this for the whole grow. This is my very first grow of anything. I never even grew a tomato the only time I ever put a weed seed in the dirt was back in "78" and it stretched to about 8 in. and folded over
so all i want to do is follow FD"s method and keep it as simple as possible(just going to do one plant at a time) this first time just to get a feel for the process. do I need 2 different Ph readers (one for soil and one for water ? ) and one more question, not the last I am sure,
1 in the feedings it's a tsp of this and a tsp of that and then it's some of this and that mixed. I am sure I read that each one of those is per gallon of water correct ?
2 if I put a tsp of this or that in a gallon of water can I just mark that gallon jug with what mixture it is and keep it for the whole grow and do that with all the combinations ? I know I will end up with several gallons sitting around.
3 I will have the schedule so I can aerate and ph that particular gallon of water again a day or 2 before I use it again correct ?
4 and again please excuse my ignorance but I have to ask. when watering/feeding I can only imagine how light this medium is going to end up, but do you actually water it until a little water comes out the bottom of the pot ? Until I see it in action it just seems like I would be drowning them. but maybe it is so light that it will not take as much as I think it will to have water come out of the bottom.
And last but not least. I Thank FULL DUPLEX for taking the time to put all his experience from his trials and tribulations into a thread like he did. And the persons responsible for creating this coolest most bodacious site.Ya'll are saving people like me (FRIKKON CLUELESS) untold dollars and time and even making it sound so easy that after 39 years of smoking dank stem and seeds and sometimes just pure crap I might actually get some satisfaction and the high that I so seldom get. AS well as the great feeling of knowing that I did it. and this would not be possible without the site and the peeps in this site. Thanks a million and I hope to start a thread in the new grow section VERY soon.
