Well, my mother always said, "If it aint broke, dont fix it". I have my way of growing, and everyone else has their way. When it comes to my setup, Im a simple man. 125w fluoro germinating, 400w MH veg., 400w HPS flower. I go from 4" pots to final transplant into 4 gal. pots. I use 100% all organic ferts (i.e. FoxFarm Ocean Forrest Potting Soil, Earth Juice Grow & Bloom and a special Red Seabird Guano for a "bud booster") for my grows. Now, I get great results from my simple setup, but usually later in the grow (normally mid-flower), I run into pH probs which are fairly simple to fix. I would just like to get an idea on how you greenthumbs prefer to grow, whether it be hydro or soil, chem. or organic. Im thinking of changing my grow setup a little to get the best possible results that I can. I see that D.G. transplants, what, like three times? Plus, there are ppl out there that uses multiple combonations of ferts, with great success! Im not saying anyones is better, I just want to get an idea of what I can change to maximize results. Im a firm believer of quality over quanity, but like I said, just trying to get ideas. Thanks everyone who contributes!! Much luv to all!! L.V.

P.S.----As far as ferts go, what type of feeding cycle/shcedule do you use?

100% organic hydro is my method of choice.

Ebb & Flow tables a 2x2 in veg with a 250w mh above and 3x3 in flower with (2) 600w hps above. Alot of ventilation and air conditioning.

Oh yeah, nutes I use Pure Blend Pro from Botanicare and Top Max from Bio Bizz

I'm one messy fool with alot of dirt around, so I stick to water(mopping is easier for me)

Wow, F&SBBG!!! Thats some setup you got there! A little to big for me. Im thinking of investing in hydro. I was thinking of purchacing a "Water Farm" hydro system. Seems pretty easy. Anyone else?
