Howdy icmaggers!! It's Khaleel here, back at it with a plain water, organic soil mix. just had a great couple runs using nothing but Maxibloom, a GH product that costs about $4 per cycle. (no shit lol check the KISS link/thread in my signature line for more details). anyway, now it is time for a water-only mix, all the way through. got this from a very good friend and pimp grower of growers I got to see this method in action on a much larger scale and it was absolutely beautiful. almost 2 lbs per 1000 watts. (!!)
1 cup kelp
1 bail sunshine #4 (substituting pro-mix, closest i can get to the sunshine)
1 cup bone meal
1 bag ocean forest
1 cup green sand
1 bag happy frog
1 cup bat guano(P)
2 bags wiggle worm
1 cup lime
i'm going to plant in the rubbermaid totes, 32 quarts i think somewhere close to 2 feet x 2 feet, corn row style - 6 rooted clones in each.
may as well show you what i'm workin with. two 1000 hps in bloom, a small squirell fan (maybe 200 cfm tops) pulling through a can filter.
the bloom room is about 10' long x 8 ' high x 6' wide. temps are a steady 70-75, at night low 60s sometimes mid-upper 50s.
in veg i have a 400 watt metal halide. babies are just in cups, well starting to show root stress cuz they are ready for tomorrows transplant and nutrients lol
clone setup is just a rubbermaid tote, 2 air stones, an air pump, and a submersible heater all from petsmart (intended for 10 gal fish tanks). i buy one of the Sunleaves Float and Grow styrofoam inserts, then use rapid rooter plugs or whatever your preference. works pretty well. water goes through a brita filter, and gotta make sure you change it once a week (i water out of it when i need to change it). just hang a 2 strip T5 over the top, plugged in to the same timer as veg (20/4).
