Hi there guys. So I've been out the game for a few years. I've decided to move over to Spain where I've managed to secure a property with a nice, ventilated basement around 2.5x1.5 meters. The real question now, is where do I start? I have done many a grow, one I started to post on here but never really carried on posting (my bad) lol.
So I'm going to start from seed, nothing too big to start with. I was thinking of taking clones instead of doing the whole seen thing each time to maximize harvest. but when do I take clones from a seed started plant and then start flowering it and still get a decent harvest? I want to have my mothers and new clones ready as soon as the harvest is done. I have cloned before but those were taken from revegged plants that had already been harvested. They worked but I know there was still room for improvement and taking them before flowering.
After taking a clone off each for a mother, which method would be suggested for flowering? perhaps a couple more weeks of veg and then flower? I was thinking of perhaps FIMming and scrogging, both techniques i'm not too familiar with. I was a SOG and topping kind of guy but times change.
Other than that, I'm good when it comes to everything else. I usually average about 1.5oz per plant off 20 plants under 2x 600w lights from seed. I just know I've had a Beauty of a plant that grew over 4oz dry weight and if i had cloned that... JEEEEEESUS!!
Another question was on grow style. Ive done soil, aero and hydro. soil is my favorite but there is a lot of waste to get rid of at the end of each cycle. Aero was probably the best in that department coz i used minimal. Being the kind of person who likes to try new things, what would you suggest when it comes to Rockwool slabs and NFT? I've never tried it. is it any good? I've always had my doubts because of what seems like such limited rooting space and my plants always seem to fill the pot with its roots. SO what effect would it have on yield?
I feel like a newbie again! haha. I'm never too old to learn someting new though. feel free to post pic or vids of your grows, I could watch n look all day. no matter how amateur or professional, each grow is individual. We all started somewhere.
Peace, Love n Prosperity to all
