Smaller pots is good. I had a 15 gal container and when it was time to move it for flower, it took three people and it almost couldnt fit through the door.

Yea I'm guessing by the time these girls are done vegging it would be risky to pull them out just cause of how much foliage there will be, don't wanna go snapping branches again :/

Thinking 7s are the golden zone for next round!
 
If you decide to run coco you'd even be golden with 3's or 5's. can't go wrong with a 7 though - enough soil to brace to impact, definitely worth the wiggle room.

hey big, do you know if your tent is big enough to put all the 10gals on collector trays?

I havem on garbage can lids right now which are pretty good, I'm thinking I should be able to water to run off and shop vac the excess out of the side of the lid, and then just pull moira out each watering :S

I'm gunna look into a 4x4 flood tray and see how much that would run me, then I could just put that in, tilt the whole thing towards the door and then just water with a pump and watering wand like Gee suggested, seems like the simplest method to save my back, I already have a shop vac for run off! I like DD s remote watering system too, but I already need a pump so I'm thinking less stuff to buy the better :S

Still day dreaming lol

I bet I could grow monsters in 5 gallons doing a 3 or 4 times a day feeding in coco :3

As long as I'm running 8 week strains I think a 5 would be fine! Any longer and I'd want a 7 just cause these roots are going wild already :S

If I go coco I'll probably come up with an automated system of sorts too, really want an ebb and flow table with coco, idk why but that style has always made me excited lol I could get 2 flood trays and hand water the 4x4 n set up an ebb n flow in the 6x4 when i get it!

Jeeze I'm gunna need to open another round of funding up XD investors, investors where are you? XD

Plan is to use the 4x4 as a veg tent and then flower in the 6x4 so I can harvest consistently every 8 to 10 weeks, so I'm trying to plan with that future in mind lol
 
Oh I was gonna say, I have my 10gal on a round collector tray - I honestly just let it sit in the runoff, it usually evaporates completely in just a few hours but I don't know how that would go using chemical ferts

I was wondering about that myself, I have perlite on the bottom so there is a separation between the organic matter and the plastic so it should help prevent mold from trapped moisture etc. How much are you giving Chloe each watering? A gallon? Promix holds a lot of water too so I might have to do 2 gallons per watering per pot to get run off :S

Definitely gunna run smaller pots and go through less nutes next run!
 
Yeah I water 1gal daily, soil doesn't really hold much moisture though - tons of perlite in Roots Organic.
 
I use that long funnel to water too on my other plant. Just point the end where I want to water and pour. I'm very interested in a flood type grow also. Shouldn't be tough in the tub....

It's funny how this hobby grabs you by the bank account and always wants improvements on our part hahaha. Too much fun

Yea it's a slightly different grow I guess!

Jeeze my mind is just spinning with options lol I think it's time to start looking for the basics and going from there!

I'm gunna go to my hydro shop and see if they can set me up with 4x4 flood tables and see if I can find a pump for my nutes and maybe a hose system-that'll be my starting point for today, depending on what I find I'll start drawing up plans based on all these ideas n start putting the pieces together!

I'll probably keep it simple in the 4x4 n just do hand watering with the wand in a tilted flood table, but I'll have to see what I find today! I'll also be looking for hydroton or something to top my soil with!

Thanks for getting me thinking everyone, this is great .

Lol ya I was all

"I can do a simple soil grow! I'll start by spending decent money on equipment and then do everything the old school easy way-plant a seed in dirt, water it and watch it grow!"

. becomes a performance sport very quick XD I'm glad no one else cares about how much money I put on my credit card XD . if I disappear it was Visa! XD

Hoping once I get a good system figured out the costs start dropping :/ gunna have to find a way to recoup some losses ;P
 
You'll get it all figured out, recouping your losses and them some so long as your one and only focus is to grow mindblowing mmj! ;)
I have faith in ya big

Flood table sounds like the easiest way to go. I've been meaning to get one myself. Think they're around $100 at the hydro shop close here
