Wtf is a nft?

 

Nutrient Film Technique. I had to look it up.

 

The plastic PVC pipe is a leak waiting to happen , been there and done that ..
The reason why I use large totes is because its a large amount water and I can make each tote 100% self contained .
My system doesn't have the normal problems that Most RDWC systems have .
Those problem are restricted root space .roots clogging up drain system , roots growing together ,
External leaks , and one sick plant making the rest of the plants sick .

Right now I have a weird plant problem , I have a white widow that wants to die everytime I give it nutrients .
If that plant would be in a common RDWC system where more then one plant is in the system that plant would die.
Because system is not connected to more then one plant I flushed the plant and brought it back to life .
My point is its nice to be able to take a plant out of the system without having a effect on the other plants .

My system works because I am growing larger indoor plants .

PS the Plastic 5 inch by 5 inch square plastic PVC fence posts works better then the round PVC pipe .
Look Up general Hydroponics AF 20 if you don't already know the system .

My plants in certain stages of growth can and will use up to 6 gallons of water per plant .
I am single and a big part of my life is traveling around.
If I used a smaller reservoir I couldn't leave the house for anything over 2 to 3 days tops .
Right now I don't have to attend to my plants but every 3 to 4 days .
I change the water in my totes every 10 days .
That is standard changing the water every 7 to 10 days .
Good luck

 

what is the reasoning behind vegging so long and growing tall plants just to cut the first two and a halve to three feet off the bottom of the plant. and i do understand the penetration of LEDS.

 

I was in the hospital for most of a 100 days straight .
It was the best I could do to save the plants .
Yes they are to tall . This time.
I have two 4x8 budding tents and one walk in veg closet
My favorite strain is a 10 to 12 week flowering cycle
So I dont have a issue rolling in a new plant into the budding tent that is already 3onths old.
I need to sharpen my trading skills

 

sorry you were in the hospital. to that point dude you did an awesome job!! if that ever happened to me i would have to shut the lights. props to your people who kept you going!!!
