So after a year of pissing around and learning the hard way i finally got takin under a wing of a pro. One of those kinda guys that doesnt like the Internet . I have takin his recipe and modified it my strains that im growing. He has a vert trellis that he ties his plant to that are connected to the sides of his pots. They taper from 2ft -4ft at the top. They are 6ft high, he sets them up on a grid with a single 1000w between each grid of 4 plants.......vegs for 4 weeks and ends up on average of 3lbs a light and has got 3.5 on the best crop. Now ive seen this with my own 2 eyes. His major secret is the strain.........i have no idea what it is......he's been working with it 4 10years and knows it very very very well. He runs a very interesting feeding shd (i was a sceptic at first because it goes against everything ive read) He runs 25gal pots and after a week after trans planting the 5gals into the 25's he runs 20L of nutes water at600-700ppm in veg 700-800 pmm flower every 3 days. The pots are still fully saturated with water when the next feeding is applied. His theory is the fresh nutes water flushes every watering and leaves no salts ever and replenishes the oxy enriched water and pushes the old depleted water out the bottom of the pot. The grow room floor is raised and sloped to one end to drain the excess water. I run a 15 gal pot and use 200L's of water for 11plants each watering. (i made the mistake and changed up the recipe and added hydro ton at the bottom of the pots for better drainage) so i need to water every 2 days so the massive root ball doesnt dry up. I found out the hard way one day is a big deal. The only problem he has encountered with the system is root rot at the base of the staulk so he pushes the soil down the edges of the pots and only waters the edge of the pots. Im on my first grow with this system and it is amazing the amount difference in general health and vigor the plant display. Im still a green horn but i thought id share it with the very helpfull people on this site. Im sure ill hear the ( this is BS) comments but i dont care ill have pics in a while
