Which Method Is Easiest..?

[killfrenzi]

I was wondering which method, in your experienced opinion is easiest? I am going to be starting a e new grow in mid March and was needing some input.

I will have 6 plants under a 600w HID light, Room: 7'x10'x5', Botanicare Nutes, and hoping to have another 600w HID before flower.

if you are talking method of growing then DWC by far the simplest.

I've never grown DWC but a well fortified, pre-nuted, and well buffered soil is dead simple. It is very forgiving. I don't even use my pH pen 90% of the time, just a fish tank kit to make sure I'm in range. I recommend FoxFarms Ocean Forest.

I agree that soil is much more forgiving. I love soil, but financially, hydro is cheaper. FFoF is the best and also the most expensive. I love the stuff.

I am going to go with a DWC setup. I have my 6, 5gal "Lowes" Bucket, along with "Lowes" 5gal Lids. I cut holes for 6" netted pots. A 20 gal storage tote as the res, and a All the fittings, gromets and tubing to hook it all together. An other advice on setup?

Sooo... I went to Lowes and bought 6, 5gal buckets w/ lids. Cut 6" holes in the lids for netted pots. Bought a 4 and 2 way air pump, tubing, 7, 3/4" rubber grommets, 6, 3/4" T- adapters, 2, L-adapters, 2, 3\4" valves. 1 drain, 1 fill. 1, 30gal storage tote as a Res. 15' of 3/4" Black tubing to connect all the buckets and res. together. And another 600w HID light kit.

Heres a pic of the buckets, not set up yet, just pieces, and a few of my DWC clone setup! Everything I have made, is pieced out from Lowes.. LOL

If you any questions, feel free to ask.

Enjoy!

I hate starting a new thread for a simple question, so I'll start it here and see what happens:

I just built my own cloner, as you can see in the last set of pics. I currently have them feeding for 15 mins every 4 hrs. I was wondering, what is a decent feeding schedule. I know its mostly trial and error and strains and blah, blah, blah... lol. But I am just wanting a quick reference as to what could be a decent schedule?

Timer Ideas:
On Time "Min." / Off Time "Hours"
45 / 8 ..?
15 / 4 ..?
15 / 2 ..?
30 / 6 ..?
60 / 12 ..?

Advice Plz & Thnkz..!?!
