new to dirt

[domokun]

hi,

long time aero/hydro grower and not im switching to dirt.. never done it before besides when i was a little kid growing in my closet


anyone have any suggestions for ammount of plants per light and in what size buckets to get 1.5p a light? or is that unrelastic in soil?

i dont want to do soil tables with a high clone ratio.. just buckets or grow bags

i have a controller with, ac/co2/dehumidifier + fogger so i can basicaly dial in the system to a perfect enviroment.. i was seeing 2.0 lbs per 1000watt with the aero setup in the room until some weird pythium that wont go away came into play...

I think that depends on how big you wanna grow em. I dunno if a pound a light is possible because of so many diff varialbes. ie: strains, room set-up, and your creativity.=)

the room will be 8x1000hps air cooled shades... the enviroment will be perfect...

im just looking for advice on how many plants per 1000watt and what size pots

no advice but an opinion: 9 per light in 5 gal containers. plenty of perlite. top twice. ample veg time to fill the 5 gal containers before flowering.

The environment does sound fantastic, especially those 8000 watts.

I have a little rule on pot size.....1 gal. pot= 1 ounce of bud...5 gal. = 5 ounces...ect.

If you are growing under a 1k light, 1.5lbs is easily obtainable.

I use as many 3 gallons as I can fit under the light, which is around 16-20. After vegging, the plants should be nice and full and ready to produce some weight.


Also, get worm castings. They are soil's best friend.

how do you think 6 per 1000watt in 5gallon pales? would do?
