I've been feeding them just PH'water so far,are they still abit too small for weak nutes? They have all got quite good roots on them already.

I only have one harvest under my belt atm and it was low tech/getto. First time around I ran "Michigan Made Mix" soil with "Papa's Perfect Poo" at flowering once a week, I used AzaMax once a week at 5ml per gallon and only watered with machine bought R/O water that I never pH'ed. Using a used 1000w HPS from when the 7 dieing clones where given to me. Used the 3 best looking ones after 4 weeks and flowered. I managed to pull 2.5-3oz per plant with the 3 Blue Cheese (had a Grate Wight Shark that I was not happy with and chopped early) in a room that sat between 77F and 83F cuz I and a broke joke and couldn't cool that 1000w lol. I now have 2 rooms set up and they are better on the temps, I can also now check the humidity. One room is a 9x10 bedroom with 400w MH (veg room), the other is a 10x10 bedroom with the 1000w HPS and a 4" vent fan (the used reflector I had the first time was not vented, and is now on the 400w).

Ok enough back story time for the questions. I am trying to sink my teeth into hydro and just like with my fish tanks I love the DIY part of things. I found a flood and drain set-up that I really liked and started to build it but have a few questions that I can't seem to get answers for. (pics to follow)

First off, the system is small and uses 2L soda bottles as pots. The pump floods the bottles that are filled with medium and overflows back into the tank. I am now starting to wonder if the bottles are now large enough for a cannabis plant and would love someone to chime in.

Secondly, I have a pump on hand that I bought and use to do water changes on my large fish tank. To save a few bucks (and time cuz again I'm broke lol) I planed to use it and get a new one for my water changes later. Now I feel it mite be too strong for the small system I am using. The system useses 6 2L bottles and I will only have around 6g in it (have not finished if to test how much will be in it) and the pump runs 396gph. I could pick up one that runs 186gph for $15 but that's money i don't have atm. So is the 396 too strong? I hope the pics help explain the system even if its not done.

(Sorry no pics cuz I'm a noob I guess. Looking for a link to show it off.)

I'm using 1x 5ft(The 3 Channel Wide Ones) NFT Trays and will be starting out using Critical Autos for the first time in a couple of weeks when my WW x BB is finished(not Autos)

I've read that Critical Autos are a very good yielder but keep reading conflicting post/threads Etc on the size that Autos grow......

My Question is, How many do I put on per Tray????

I was thinking of 9 on one Tray.....but as I say I have no idea how big/small these will grow?? and don't want to come unstuck

I am now convinced this works as a universal feed schedule for both indica and sativa variety's.

Schedule based on water with a starting ec of 0.
All measures based on ml/10l
24h a day extraction 22-24 Celsius during lights on.
15-18 Celsius lights off.
If anyone is growing out these ranges i cannot guarantee this schedule will work for you.

Veg

Week 1- Ec 0.3 Grow 3ml - micro 3ml - bloom 3ml.
Week 2- Ec 0.3 Grow 3ml - micro 3ml - bloom 3ml.
Week 3- Ec 0.7 Grow 5ml - micro 5ml - bloom 5ml.
Week 4- Ec 0.7 Grow 5ml - micro 5ml - bloom 5ml.

Longer than 4 weeks veg.
Week x- Ec 1.0 Grow 10ml - micro 10ml - bloom 10ml. Stay at this schedule for all extra weeks veg.

Flower

Week 1- Ec 1.0 grow 15ml - micro 10ml - bloom 5ml.
Week 2- Ec 1.0 grow 15ml - micro 10ml - bloom 5ml.
Week 3- Ec 1.2 grow 5ml - micro 10ml - bloom 15ml.
Week 4- Ec 1.2 grow 5ml - micro 10ml - bloom 15ml.
Week 5- Ec 1.4 grow 10ml - micro 15ml - bloom 25ml. Longer than 8 week flower use this up to last 2 weeks then continue week 7.
Week 6- Ec 1.4 grow 10ml - micro 15ml - bloom 25ml.
Week 7- Ec 1.2 grow 5ml - micro 10ml - bloom 15ml.
Week 8- Ec 1.0 grow 3ml - micro 6ml - bloom 9ml.
Flush.
If for any reason you have stressed your plants go back down to one ec. After plants have resumed normal growth continue per instructed.

I know ther is going to be controversy about this. But what i'm giving you is a universal schedule that works. Plants will be healthy vibrent green with no nutrient burn.
