So in a 4x4 you could only fit that one girl? Woah she must be big I have a 8x6 so maybe I'll be able to do two? I want them huge. I'm here till the end I've enjoyed reading your journal and have learned a little of dwc in looking into making my own diy dwc
dwc is very easy to make I've built a few including the drippers that work off an aquarium air pump instead of using an electric pump I grew tomatoes in them over the summer
You are the Queen of soil, and it shows with your beast of a girl! What I meant was that for someone who has previous experience in hydro, soil would be a bit disappointing growth wise!! And from my own terrible experience lolLMAO you just wait, good soil can be grrrreat!haha
the nutrients I'll use to finish this off is made by the people that make roots organics
soil to me is hard as it requires a lot of knowledge it's too easy to mix stuff take a couple readings ,adjust if necessary and feed that's just me thoughYou are the Queen of soil, and it shows with your beast of a girl! What I meant was that for someone who has previous experience in hydro, soil would be a bit disappointing growth wise!! And from my own terrible experience lol
Also, I'm sorry for calling you the Queen of Soil after thinking about that title, it doesn't sound nice! LOL
"Pleasure to meet you Ma'am, and what are you the Queen of?"
"Soil, muck, dirt and that. I'm Queen of Soil innit." (Spits on floor with a fag in one hand and a can of lager in other)
LMAO love itYou are the Queen of soil, and it shows with your beast of a girl! What I meant was that for someone who has previous experience in hydro, soil would be a bit disappointing growth wise!! And from my own terrible experience lol

Not sure how to get the "innit" part in there though, it's essential!!
I couldn't let you get away with stating it that absolutely though, gotta defend my critters. they do a good job too haha 
Coming along beautifullly, she is!!!
I have a friend that grows in soil & I give him clones so usually I can compare what we grow & as you've said I'll out yield him but his grown in the soil has better flavor & smellComing along beautifullly, she is!!!
Haha yeah the Blue Dream, I've begun gearing up my worm compost for that one
Yeah I agree mate, I think you would be great in soil though with the amount of time and effort you put into your grows, but like you say it is just too easy to change the environment in a hydro set up. But it is a balance of quality vs quantity, hydro will always yield more but the quality won't be as good as soil grown bud.
Ahhh thats an excellent idea! That would suit you down to the ground, a job that you would really enjoy and it would flexible for you as well, you should definitely look further into this!LMAO love it
Actually, yesterday I was talking with a friend about starting a bike-driven-mini-gardening service -- haha I could use Queen of Soils as the name
Of course you're right, even with the most loaded of soils you won't get that incredible growth DWC gives you
I do wonder what happens to the plant's exudate system (plant-microbe communication for nutrients) when it's in DWC ( direct feeding)... does the plant realize there are no microorganisms to talk to and stop making the exudates?
The water does get icky, doesn't it.... so maybe plants always put out exudates, and then just take what they get, be it what they ordered or the ppm you gave them
Mmmmmm Blue Dream, I might have to pop one now with how my terrible vegging skills are going! She might be ready to flip by Christmas lolComing along beautifullly, she is!!!
Haha yeah the Blue Dream, I've begun gearing up my worm compost for that one
Everything is looking sweet like Tropicana mate, can't wait to see those buds!
I'm in awe at how perfect she is. How far do you need to keep the LED away?
the manufacturer says 24-36 in. away I keep it 24-22 in. away gotta remember 36 in. is just shy of 1 meter if I get the light closer than 20 in. the leaves start warping & acting weird so far I like this light ( which really means the plant likes it) harvest will tell the whole story I fed @1000 ppm of 50% soul synthetics & 50% gh 3 part nutrients I've so far seen no advantage to feeding above 1000 ppm. after over feeding in my first grow I'm a bit paranoid of fucking something up as things are going smooth so I'm not gonna push my luck I've been feeding at about ph.6.0+- but today dropped to 5.7 my ph doesn't much change in 7-10 days
She smiled and nodded benignly.
LMAO!!!! Ah now I need to start this business just so we can use those!!! Absolutely ace haha!Ahhh thats an excellent idea! That would suit you down to the ground, a job that you would really enjoy and it would flexible for you as well, you should definitely look further into this!
I can only come up with slogans.
"If you hate the idea of gardening, bin it. I'll do it cos I'm the Queen of Soil innit!"
"Does the thought of gardening make your head boil? Fear not for I am the Queen of Soil!!"
"Look at the fucking state of your garden, pay me and i'll sort it out you scruffy cunt"
I think the last one may need a little work
I've got a lot of the bud sites I hope they bulk up the led seems to speed things up compared to hps by about a week we will see
