I have just got back from a friend who live's down south what a mind of infomation this guy was in the subbject of indoor gowing and the many ways you can do it we was both in agreement on one thing hydophonics give's the biggest yeild than soil.I know that there are gonna be some people who don't agree but we will leave that one for a later date even though it does lol.The way that he was growing at the time of my visit was unreal no dought some of you will know about this one?He was useing the fall pipes[drain pipe's] that are used in guttering he had about 30 of these all at a slight fall away from each other so that the water would run from top to bottom easy at the bottom the pipe just was there to catch the water that had fallen,Then he used a large piece of pump tubeing to take the water back to the start and the same progress went on for has long has he needed it too.He had marked the cubes about a foot apart.Putting a cube on the pipe making it a small pilot hole just big enougth to take a jigsaw the he cut out the 4ince cube pattern.When i looked there was no root mat down i suppose that you could puts some in but it did not seem to matter these plants looked realy good blueberry the fall of the pipe was not massive to look at they looked level it's the force of gravaty that pull the water through and the small fall heps.The tank at the bottom was like the old bins we used to have in the uk but he has a pump inside this tank just pumping fresh air around it he insisted that this makes a big differance it put plenty of oxegen into water stop it becomeing stagnent and he als checked the ph once a week he goes with 5.5 veg and 5.6/7 in flower.Has you have guessed by now the tub was on a seay about same height has last pipe.He had cut a small hole in the lid of the tub and siloconed around this on either side useing fish tank silocone.The tube then went straight back to the start and the cycle begain again. It wasn't a complicated grow and he was 100 percent god to those plants he has only ever had 1 bad grow and he still got 2 ounce per plant some produceing more the 2 was the least now he gets at least 4 ounce easy every grow fastest he has ever taken it down was 20 minutes when the landlord came around and the good thing was he said you are only left with pipes get the 6 ince ones make a small frame out of wood with a y shaped top and wrap ducktape around to make solid.He has 6 600hps lights over all of this.IMPORTANT don't full the cotainer full of water and nutes i like to change mine every week but some do it every 2 week this is my words not his he says once nutes are added has long has you keep an eye on ph everthings ok we will agree to dissagree on this one even though i'm right.great wat of growing with very litte effort i looked at his root system like i always do i'm drawn to them i grow hydro myself and always have lovely white roots so was his.Well worth ago this not called the doctor for nothing liveing in amsterdam for nearly 24 years realy help very clever and informative guy.east ma man.you can easy obtain the u bend corner's he put a small rim of silocon around each joint don't panic they still pull apart with a little force and a stanley knife.
