wow nice crop well done looking forward to the next one . thc joe
I figure im gonna veg at least a week, im gonna wait until the roots are swimming and the plant is about 3ft. im thinking about not filling the bottom tubs, and only top feed until the roots pop out, once they pop out the bottom add the bottom feed that way the roots chase the water instead of wicking from the 2inches of water in the top bucket
I like it! So top feed till roots hit the water, then hit the pump switch for botom feed and pack away the top feed.
Are you going to do Coco baskets?
The other benefit of just top feeding the first couple weeks is you can use a smaller reservoir, and save a little loot on nutrients. I wonder why dds recommends running the drippers the entire cycle though, any thoughts guys?

Please keep us posted on what you do so we can all learn. I would specifically like to see your bucket setup with pics as they are going into their buckets. In my experience roots like coco better than hydroton, so I would really like to see how you set up your buckets. I can provide pics of mine as well but its really just sticking either a 1 inch coco plug or a 1 inch rockwool plug into a 10 inch netpot
Also, have you considered the 10 in 5 gallon bucket netpot lids? Thanks for sharing :)
What do you guys think about putting the basket on a layer of hydroton and then burying the baskets with the hydroton? My thoughts are the roots can fully come out of the basket and not get air trimmed at all. This way i'll have roots coming out before I put them in the veg setup.
