Ok so here are all my question lol. ScrOGing, how long do i veg and flower for, how high should the screen be from the pots.
Done well, SCRoG is truly an art form. It can be a bit tricky knowing how long to veg in SCRoG, but you can presume that the plants will continue some veg growth (though tapering off and increasing flowering habit) for at least 4 weeks into 12/12. A common error in SCRoG is vegging too long and the plants grow too large for their screen. In my SCRoG attempts in days past, I only vegged them for about a week before flipping to 12/12.
Because of the fiddliness of SCRoG, I switched to SoG and eliminated vegging of plants I was later going to flower altogether. This allowed me to run a perpetual harvest arrangement as I no longer needed my flowering space for vegging.
My mother, for lighting should i leave in on all 24 hours or 18/6, and how long should she live for.
I run my mums under 24/7 400 HPS. I replace mums about every 8 weeks, more or less, with a clone taken from one of them.
Now my nutrients when i was at my local hydroponics store everyone swore at nutrient additive called "dark energy" was a must, you opinions on this product.
Sounds like the usual 'magic sauce,' where what's in it is a great big secret. Magic sauces are most often nothing more than profit makers with a high water content. Unless a maker is going to tell you exactly what's in their magic sauce, it's snake oil. Canna's PK-13-14 is a good example of an additive that is not a magic sauce, perhaps an 'open source' magic sauce, if you will, where there's at least some replicatable botanical science happening with it.
now i remember reading some where about leaving your tap water out to dissolve the chorine in it, how long do i leave it out for.
Chlorine in tapwater won't hurt plants. Don't worry about it.
Last question can i prepare my Nutrients before hand and store them till i use them, like in a 1 gallon jug, my nutrients are organic if that matters. alright thats it thanks in advance to all responders.
Not a good idea. Mix up your nutes immediately before you intend to use them. Multipart nute mixes are multipart, usually not because the maker wants to sell you extra plastic bottles but most likely because the chems necessary to provide all macro & micronutrients may interact/react with others, meaning a mixed tank of nutrients has a use-by date.
Also forgot to ask if any one uses hydrogen peroxide in the DWC
Using Hydrogen Peroxide in your Hydroponics Growing System
H2O2 breaks down organic molecules, including organic nutes. If you add H2O2 to mixed nutes and it foams & bubbles, you can make a guess that the nutes are not compatible with H2O2. Consult your organic nute maker for the last word with regards to compatibility with H2O2. Nutrients made from chemicals such as ammonium nitrate are already in a form assimilatable by plants and can't be broken down further by H2O2's oxidation action.
I dose my tanks with 50% grade H2O2 @ 1ml/L every 3-4 days.
