Hey guys, hope y’all having a great day over there. 
It took me a while to get into growing and even posting about it, but I’ve been nonstop at it for the last 18 months, and I’m currently in the beginning of my 6th run. So yeah, not the most seasoned grower. 
My first run was soil with minerals and I wasn’t really happy about it. I tried to do too much at the same time and while I got to a decent result for a first time, I decided that it wasn’t what I wanted to learn.
I hesitated a lot to go for an organics soil grow, but in the end, I found a really KISS hydro method which has its minus and is a bit less popular nowadays, but I run a classic flood table with hydroton. Sometimes in pots, sometimes the whole table covered with a panda film, I’m not exactly sure which works best. This run, I’m running a mix of 6inch netpot and some similarly sized squared pot/heavy duty netpot.
I used a lots of infos from here, rollitup and a few books. I usually flood every 3-4 hours in veg and every 2 hours in flowering, when the lights are on. I used TA Dual Part, the EU equivalent of General Hydroponics. No supplements. I dont flood for long cuz my tray doesn’t have much depth. Max 5 mins for the thirsty strains.
My reservoir is about 23.5 gal, I add a bit of h2o2 every few days to keep it somewhat clean. I aim to change the rez every 7-10 days this run, to really see if there is a difference. I was busy with life with my last run and I changed it only a few times, about every 3-4 weeks.
Before I did everything in one tent, but I recently added a few really small tents to be able to germinate there and I also aim to give a try at bonsai moms to feed my SoG method with clones for the next runs.
Cuz yeah, I wanted to do as little training as possible and I run at the moment usually between 27-35 plants for 1 square meter with a lumatek ats 300w pro. So I start from seeds for now, but I hope to be able to start from clones from the next one.
This current run :
32x Clearwater Genetics Karma Sour Diesel x Guava
Germinating slowly under 32c+ as it was an heat wave here…
interesting thing going on there
It was my first time using an aerocloner. Holy shit, they just works…
First time using an aerocloner. I was a few days away with my family.
8-26: moving from their germ tent to the main grow tent. This time with pots.
Some are definitely more vigorous than others. Ill keep that in mind and save clones from about 10 of them in week 1-2 of flower, which should begin in the next few days. I wait for them to recover from the new environment.
Final update from this morning
Have a nice day guys, Ill try to post frequent updates! Stay safe!
Im waiting a few more days to increase the EC and make sure the plants are acclimated to their new setup.
Bonus- a few pics from previous runs:
Ice Cream Cake x Lemon Cherry Gelato (Universally Seeded)
Sinful / KY Jealousy from Ziplock Seeds - my 4th run
