Ramble away dude. I'm reading it all. I'm going to have to drain to a rez or tub of some kind. One thing I didn't get in my basement was a drain. I kinda find myself loving the idea of the DWC, but feel I need to learn more. Mainly I gotta grow the balls to lay my plants out like that to train them! Lol I'm so nervous about cutting and trimming I know it's lame.. lol

I hear you! Once you do it a few times that’ll go away and you’ll start abusing them so that they produce and shape then how you want. Feels wrong at first but eventually it’s just second nature. These are my first manifolds and I’ve loved training them. Depending on how they yield this may be how I grow from now on.

It’s all in the manifold/mainlines that shit will need your stalks and stems. Oh another way is silica. But the whole idea of manifolds is to carry nute a through less plumbing.

Do you think you guys could either post or message me the basics of this? This is one area I need to get better. My friend from WA told me to get the plant reading and training down. Then look at spending and building from there. He thinks im a bit ahead of myself in just blowing a room out. It sounds like good advice. What say you guys?

Somewhat agree. somewhat disagree. Decent lights, proper PH water, airy soil (lot of perlite do roots can breathe and not get nasty) don’t overfeed and it’s pretty easy.

If I didn’t have this hydro going, I could not open tent for three days everything on timers and everything would be fine......

Don’t over complicate it is the best advice I could ever try to give a new grower.

Giving 8000 nutes and trying 8000 different things won’t make you a great grower fast. Find a basic technique, hone it in, and work off that.

you will do better going over to growweedeasy.com for learning the basics, but this is one of their mainline-style guides:
https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets

i also recommend Indica Institute on youtube - my first few grows i would watch the youtube video for the week i'm on just to kind of cement what needed done that week.

learn with photoperiod plants before diving too hard into autos - autos are much harder to read because everything is accelerated

Thank you boss! I've tried two different styles on my first grows. I just didn't know enough about growing to make a decision to do hyrdo or soil. So I tried both...
I like the hyrdo growth, and frost compared to soil. When I tried learning from a couple growers locally, they would keep getting butt hurt about me asking around and trying different things. It was like I had people coming to check and see if I was following their "book". I shut all that shit down and started out on my own. I don't have time for that kinda shit in my life. I just want to grow some plants and chill out. I would imagine alot of this would be easier done if I had someone in the room with me teaching, but I won't do it at the expense of my sanity and "chi". It goes against the code of being Dude.

Thanks Moabfighter.... You kind of summerized where I'm at. I'm a newbie that inherited a big space and don't quite have direction yet. Kinda paralyzed with options and overthinking... LOL
