I made a batch of ss for around 350-400 bucks, it would probably be cheaper for anybody else lol...theres very little options for supplements this far north but its still 1 third of what I would pay with synthetics for that many rounds maybe less. One full recipe is enough to do 40 plants in 10 gallon pots.I made it on a big tarp in my backyard and let it sit for a month then I put it in big black garbage cans and put it in the greenhouse where its alot warmer, I ll be bringing the cans inside pretty soon, i ve been slacking there cause they aint light lol. So 5 gallons of SS then a thin layer of your base and base around the sides when you transplant.
This recipe is suposed to be water only from beginning to end, the tea's Im using are just microbial tea's all they do is boost the microherd into overdrive but they arent nessesary its just something im messing around with.
If you have a decent sized veg room and that big space was your personal grow(I wouldn't want one of your newb growers trying this) you could go full perpetual,3 zones in the flower room 3 weeks apart(assuming its a 9 week strain) so your harvesting lets say 8 plants every 3 weeks instead of 24 plants every 9 weeks, its less money more often and less trimming more often too.The trick is to do the same thing in the veg room, you will need a cloning station and 3 zones in the vegroom as well, 1 gallon pots in zone 1 for the first 3 weeks, 3 gallon pots in zone 2 with bigger lights for 3 weeks and 10 gallon pots in zone 3 for 3 weeks with your biggest veg lights, by the time they go into the flower room they are already trained and lollypopped so other than some mild defoliation and cleaning up of the spindely stuff that isnt going to make it to the canopy there will be no damage to the plants during flower. so it works out to 63 days veg 63 days flower, depending on how you train them your either going to end up with a 5 foot tall bush or 6 foot plants simillar to Subcools that have only been topped once or twice and have 4 huge colas, personally I like the slightly shorter bushes, they produce many many many more smaller nugs instead of 6-8 big colas with 7 grams of stalk in them. Bro you know how long ive been a hydro guy, this is soooooooo much easier, i used to spend hrs in the flower room making sure everything was just right, now I go down there empty the dehueys and lift every pot to see if the plant is thirsty, if it is I give it ro water, other than training thats it, im down there 20 min and im standing there scratching my head because there should be something else im forgetting lol...but there isnt, thats it bro. I swear to you that with this ss im getting the same growth rates as hydro and the plants are 100% healthier, theres not one damaged leaf on any of those plants, I havent flowered with ss yet so we shall see in a cpl months how the yields compare but either way this is ALOT easier bro, you should give it a try
