First of all I havent started my seeds yet and still waiting on my lights to get here but everything will be started in a week....
i currently have no hydro shops around me and perfered to shop in person so i bought everything while i went on vacation and brought it back i have only had one grow and it was a 5gallon net pot dwc grow with some very generic nutrients for my first grow and i had very little problems with my first grow other than i used all cfl bulbs and it took a little time but got roughly 40 grams out of my plant but this time now that i have 1 successful grow and understand more i have built my 50 gallon fishtank into a dwc that will basically hold 20-25 gallons of water and the tank is 4ft long 16''x18'' or so i have 4 air stone tubing and a 4 port air pump, clay pellets and 4'' cubes...i have upgraded my lights and have a 300 w led and a 180 w led put my old cfl 200-300w bulb...my grow tent is something i built and am going to be 21/2ftx5 ftx 4ft then i can add 3 ft to it if i want but how many plants can i grow and i also bought RX Greensolution part A&B grow and part A&B bloom some liquid seaweed and some flora bud concentrate anyways what is the mixture for this has anyone had any problems should i do a scrog grow this time i also ordered amnesia haze i havent yet started my grow but am going to start within the month just want to do plenty of research before i start. I also own a digital tds meter but have never used it?? and a digital ph meter that i do use any suggestions or anything would be helpful how many plants to plant in a 21/2 x 5 area

scrog is a good idea with amnesia haze. It stretches a whole bunch.Here is gonna be the problem.You will have to black out the tank,black spray pain on the outside. 2nd,in scrog once you start weaving your plants you tank will be stationary. You will need a way to empty and fill.I can't tell you much about lsd,shit,led,I only used them back 10 years ago. I see good results but i'm too chicken to switch from hps.

sounds good good to know that i need to black out the tank and thought about that was going to keep a portion of the tank empty so i could do a access panel....ive been looking into a scrog just i let the plant get to like 12'' and chop the top colas? and with 3-4 plants in a scrog will that fill a 2x4 area? id like to a decent size plant and am not afraid to have a long grow? should i be afraid of a scrog like just cut the top colas and a week later slowly bend the branches to the outer of the tent? or does it matter which way to go with the branches?

so i let then get like 16'' tall and cut the top down to where it splits( branches out then i run and tie off the branches? and weave then in and out or just run them threw the screen and tie them off?

4th node either top or I like to just supercrop,pretty much same as lst. I do both weave and tie,it helps support the weight of the buds.

good to know but when i chop the top i dont need to worry about killing it or anything?? yeah so i can let it get like 18'' or so max and then chop tall point then give it a day for stress then snap or lightly break the stems or pinch them then to weave or tie them off?

you can grow with those, led lights start allot of "discussions" around here,, lol,, since you already own them, i say grow with them,, at least they pay for themselves before you change out later if you so chose,, I am part of the DIY cob led crowd around here,, most of us started with Mars panels at one time

Let me know how it all works out. Hell like I said,I'm afraid of lsd,shit pcp,icp,dmt,ha wanna learn about led though.I am interested just a whole bunch of money for what I think I can do with hps......can we get some more abbreviations here?I get around 1.5 grams per watt on the big yeilders,not so much on others.Wish I could just grow under the sun,but,i'm in N.Y......not the city,upstate.
