data? put the seed in some dirt and water it man... Your attention to detail is refreshing. Nice buds too!
Snype,
I know that this grow has already happened, but is it possible to see a pic of the ebb and flow drain setup?
So did you just keep pushing ppm/TDS til you found the sweat spot for the particular strain you were running? Logging the data along the way of course?
& you top off with the same nutrient strength til the complete change out of water, Correct?
Oh and is the system piping 1.5" / 2" / 3" ??? (Any particular reasoning behind the size, chosen?)
(I know a bit premature.)

I get more flavor than most people that i know who grow in soil. Hydro has a bad rep because most growers think you have to feed up to 2000 PPM and I only feed 700-900 PPM
respect x10...ive been telling people this for a decade..i strive for no burnt leaf tips at harvest..you can get herb that burns organic like in hydro if you can get to chop without burning tips..and even a slight burn will still taste great...i also never feed above 700ppm in rockwool , and thats with 5+ foot , 2 pound plants..rapid growth and yield in hydro comes more from a stable medium with a well balanced nutrient regimen than they do from being pushed..i dont think there is any scenario where a plant needs 1000ppms, regardless of its size..less is more
great thread and detail!..enjoyed the write up on drying, i do it very similar, hangers, paper bags ect...wet trimming also has a bad rep from people who allow it to dry out too fast ,leaving a harsh product, or bag it too wet without sweating it and giving it that wet sock smell..respect to snypette for being down for the cause, not many women can sit down for 36 hours and knock down a harvest solo, and do a such a good job
Are you running chillers Snype?

For $300 you can build a 6 bucket system if you have 1000 watt ballast and reflector. RDWC is not complicated at all when you know what rules to follow. Everything that you need is right here in this thread and in my RDWC Construction Tutorial. RDWC is easier than any other system in my opinion. There is nothing to think about in RDWC about how often to water compared to Ebb and Flow. As long as you listen to your meters, use chlorine, and have adequate air, RDWC is a breeze.Great thread. Very informative,Its my goal to go to RDWC.
For the people that will be using your VEG A system with the 5 inch net pots, do you just rest the net pot and roots in the 6 inch netpot/cover or do you cut the bottom of it out so the roots can hang free in the 5 gallon bucket?

Thanks boom!Love your work brother Snype
Ol Rezdog would be proud of your efforts with such a detailed grow log and awesome grow ethics in the garden
