I'll be useing
2 thousand watt hps/mh systems
growing in 7 gallon containers(9 pots per light) useing a 75% soil 25%perlite mix

im wondering about useing soil vs vermiculite or somthing

otherwise I'll be useing advanced nutes senisi gro and blooom parts A&B
on half the crop nd iguana juice (also by advanced) on the other half crop
----------------------------------------------------------------------
considering ill be growing in 7 gallon containers ill mostlikey let the plants vegg upto 2 feet then trigger into flowering

do you think this is the best method?
or possibly 5 gallon containers and flower at 1 foot?
i dunno...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
as far as feeding ill be useing the advaced calculator to help

http://www.advancednutrients.com/nutcalc3public/

but from what i heard for feeding you only use the recomended weekly doseage once a week.... then leech with water
otherwise if going to feed twice a week you would cut the formula of nutrients in half, then feeding twice that week\
it can be very confusing

pro-mix is nice, and its usually one foot per gallon of soil, normally. if you want the yeild go for 7 gallons and flowering at 2 ft. just make sure you have enough vertical space. i normally like to LST to increase my yield a bit. the only food my plants get is grandmas mollasses unsulphered 1 tps per gallon h2o and the seaweed extract that comes along with the ultimate pro-mix organic. if i veg its only for two weeks. so they get no food while vegging, just water. peace and good luck.

LST= low stress training. tieing down the top of your plant. if you tie down the top of your plant normally the plants side branches will come up as the top did, basically turning your plant into a branchy bush rather than a single cola plant. some say it will increase your yield considering you will end up with more bud sites once LST'd. and it can help with vertical space issues within your area. imo i like it more than cutting my plants head off (topping) or breaking its neck (super cropping). ive done all three but LST has been my fav, but then again everyones different. peace.
