Grow Mediums How do you control size of a plant in a hydro setup ?

[KsjAuto]

Do you have any pics of your setup?? I'm really getting into the LST thing, seems more logical than letting them grow straight up!

This is only my 4. grow using LST and supercropping
So im not a expert, but can really se the benefit in small grow spaces / tents..

My tent is a dr40 with a 100w hps
Link to my setup (Hydro recirculation system) Idea came fromt the waterfarm/aquafarm/gemini.

Because of the limited space i have. My RES is outside the tent to give me more Headroom.
I just used what i had around the house at the time i made it. And did not like to have a waterpump in my res .

All my growjournals on this site is with this setup

Any questions just pm me
Peace

Hmmm... Never did h20. Always more of a dirt guy, but with that being said, I know A LOT about training and bonsai techniques. Defoliation, lst, and supercropping are all things I used. A scrog wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Even if you limit the roots by having a small, closed container the damn things still get big!
