Nine plants from seed to harvest. Three different methods. Hydroponic drip recycle (with my own modifications), Coco in Smart Pot, Organic.
Hydro medium: coco w/perlite. Same with coco in Smart Pot. Soilless.
Organic...(won't do THIS again)...RO water ONLY, Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil amended with everything you'll find in the organics world...worms & bats & plankton...OH NO!!! Fox Farms trio nutes with hydroguard for roots. Don't get me wrong...the girls are EXTREMELY potent! Yields, labor, cost, bugs et al...NOT. But that's just me. I finished 2 Northern Lights (great for beginners) side by side; hydro drip/organic...the results are in...HYDRO/DRIP yield...6.5 oz of perfect bud. Organic yield...2.2 oz of absoluely stinky, potent shit. The quality difference is negligible...the HYDRO grow finished earlier, yielded shit loads more, and ALMOST tastes as good. Had Cal/Mag issues with organic due to RO water. Sorry Pops22. I tried.
All Auto. I'll probably die before I stray from autos.
Sooo...let me get another whiskey and get the show on the road...
