Here here now thats something to think about. A well put respone there!
I dont how many people know a lot about athena products or that exotic genetics uses this line of nutrients. They grow in one gallon containers drain to waste and can really push the plants and there talking like 2lbs a unit.!?!

Yeah thank you for the insight Bob. I’m organic but amending with nutrients as I go like you mentioned. So 5 gallon would be ok is my takeaway…

Lol man i originally was going hydro 7yrs ago. And my boy at the hydro shop talked me right into soil and alllllll the crap with it. I even bought the first bucket set up from him that day along with alllllll that crap! Pots soils nutrients and that bucket kit sat for 4 yrs! I finally used it it worked…it was shitty really but it works. I made my own and im on like my 3rd hydro grow and i keep missing the timing on the plants. Im going the flip immediately next run. No vegging at all! And trellis them faster?? This hydro is crazy fun and outta control.

How long you been vegging? To keep small I go like 2 weeks max . Especially if I’m using the nft troughs. I let them go month and a half veg this time while waiting on the cloner and they are over 60”. I have about an inch of light adjustment and only have about 8 inches canopy to the light. Had to dim it down.

I’ve never run them 12/12. I used to talk to couple guys on ilgm that would get 6 footer. More than likely light adjustment.lol

Hence why you’re better off in a 3gal, saving 40% medium. If not living soil.

This right here. When you dump out the root ball, you’ll see medium unused.

Yeah but the 5 gallon one is already starting to show some red hairs all over the buds. The 3 gallon is just starting to flower more it hasnt even started the red hairs. Usually they fatten after some of the hairs turn reddish. But there both totally different cultivars also. I need to do a side by side comparison with 2 clones. The hash passion mother i used when i made the strain thats in the 3 gallon. Is just a Big Bud producer either way. Thats why i selected it for breeding. The 5 gal is a white caviar F4
