# of plants to res size

[latewood]

I use 1x 60.5 liter/16 gallon resevoir tub to 6 plants.
Bliss.

You talking about clones?; because It is not a good idea to advise a new grower to attempt a 6in1 tubgrow, and then the poor guy has a tangled mess to deal with...

Better off trying to do a simple healthy grow...learn how to deal with nutrients and ph/ppm meters and get a harvest:smokin: As opposed to getting in over your head...I think any experienced grower worth his "salt" would refrain from advising someone to grow 6 mmj plants from seed in 1 tub...c'mon, peace & Happy Holidays

[latewood]

OH yeah...I can guarantee you that 1 plant if female will outyield 6 in a tub...Even if they are all female...Every time!!! peace

hey god bud ,
latewood speaks truth , 1 per res.
i started out w/ a L&M 6 plnt. drip tub from ebay . i only did 3 of the 6 net pots . 1 choked the other 2 out to the point that the 2 smaller ones were useless , but the 1 dominant plant yielded approx. 13 oz. in a bloody 3in. netpot . i went to 5 gal. buckets 1 per bucket after that w/ insane results for a newbie in hydro .
peace

Hey latewood mate, i just wanted to point out that in my previous reply back there that i was never advising him/her to do what i do, i was simply stateing that thats what i use.
Cheers & merry christmas dude, :jointsmile:

money thrown away on mh for veg--------hps has more INTENSITY for per watt even though the spectrum could be better.

I've run side-by-side tests using hps and mh for veg.

This shot is NL#5 vegged under 1K watters-------you be the judge.

Happy holidays,

I had tp read this 2wice...I thought you were saying they were nop good...

right! Exactly. I have1-400w MH and 2-1000w MH agrosun (gold) I use and finish with 1000w hps (hortilux)
OK 1 pik of latest top cola...vegged w/400w then 1000w MH until 4th week of flower. I did change to hps to finish and I am glad. The buds grew long like finger with the MH and after changing to the horti...they went fat!
Not exdactly sure why you brought nthis up, but I agree. MH are not a waste. I have said many times. 1000 watts after all is 1000 watts

[latewood]

I forgot pik...And no not a stoner moment, givce me time to wrap one up...lol

right about MH=IMO Exactly. I have 1-400w MH and 2-1000w MH agrosun (gold) and finish with 1000w hps (hortilux)
OK 1 pik of latest top cola...grown with latewood's gh formula and lighting listed above...no Co2...

I chose this pik so you could compare size of plant in week 3f next to plant finishing, being flushed.:smokin:

strain:NYCD next to Sexy Orange Skunk

nice pics!

IMO, potheads that have only one area (light) to veg and flower don't need to "buy Into" the the light peddlers claims that mh is better than hps for veg.

my opinion is based upon my own observations using both and same results of my friends before cannabisworld and overgrow went down. Our weakest link to realize a plants maximum potential is light intensity (correct spectrum of course).

As you know, mh can be used for veg and flower and produce some killer smoke-----just not as much.

Thanks for the discussion,

Although not completed this is my basic beginner set. Still havent got the mylar up but thats next (sheesh there is a lot more to this than origionally planned) any way you were asking about how I am doing a self contained hydro drip system in one container well this is it.

On the left side of the res is where the water is pumped out of the res into the pipe system I made, the nutes will flow back into the res in the tube you see in the front. On the right side of the res I have a drain valve thats capped off but when opened will empty into the res sitting on the right. To empty the res take note of the shut off valve located on the left side of the feed system. I will use a hole punch to place the drippers accordingly. Then I put a pic of the nutes and other supplies I am using. Also take note of the inline probe casings I built for the two probes of my hanna meter that will be displyed 24/7.

Underneath the res this is what it looks like. I have a 200 GPH pump from the out of the pump I have a 4" hose that feeds into the in of a T connector. One side of the T feeds the main system then the other side of the T I have another T connected to it which leaves 2 more outs and those 2 outs feed up into the probes for my meter analysis.

Tell me what you think LW and others too

Merry Xmas Folks!

those drippers and pump. Just an airstone/s in the tub will do the trick----I've found that dissolved oxygen levels of over 5.0 ppm work very well.

a small pump is good to mix/refresh the nutes (mix and adjust nutes then pump in).

Like the bath tub------ready made drain and water supply.

ditch the mylar-----pita------best stuff I've found is "foylon", a shinny fabric that doesn't crinkle and easy to clean. (in pic the other sides are rolled up for access. Note the 2x4's in the corner of the canopy-----ready made attachment for trellising (bud management)-----keep it flat.
