Dr O’whee, thank you for the videos, most kind of you. So it sounds like the Duck has some quack in it, I am going down the Hindu Kush / Afghani Autos road this year so I am planning on F/Duck next time around. I am thinking of maybe coming over to Ireland this year to see whats what after Brexit (my grandparents are from the Old Sod and therefore eligible for an Irish Passport) Here is some far out reading for you.

Jimbo, I have been stuck in bed for the last six days. It is very worrisome regarding overfeeding my male plant. It would be devastating if my experiment turns into a bag of tits. I hope you are well my friend and bathing in luck. Jack ---

I decided to split my indoor grow into a new thread for 2019 as the whole 2018 thread was becoming very disjointed and confusing. The grow plan is evolving but on track. > [@Outdoor Grower TRYING Indoor Winter Grow 2019](https://ilgmforum.com/t/outdoor-grower-trying-indoor-winter-grow-2019/27458): > > Summary October 2018 to 25 January 2019 October 2018 I’m located in a remote part of rural Ireland. Sometimes/oftentimes… you have to go with what’s available and within budget. I’m fully aware of the light spectrum, grow tent, heat, humidity and nutrient issues.

I’m not growing auto’s this year. But if I was, I’d choose Passive DWC using the Kratky method for the grow. Two reasons. Very low maintenance and once the nutrients and PH are set no adjustments are required because the PH remains stable throughout the grow. This is what “I” would do. Invest in a good sized reservoir tank (15 quid from Homebase) ![trunk](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/3X/f/9/f9125228198b6c02887603a9276873b0245af7e5.jpeg) 145 litre with 4 heavy duty wheels. Cutout 5 holes in the lid for securing net pots. Buy hydroponic veg and bloom, calmag and silicon additives. Ph meter, Ph up+down mix Get 5 x 2-litre plastic bottles and make Kratky pots. How my hypothetical grow 😉 would work: Germinate and grow seedlings in soil until 3 or 4 real leaves show. Prepare the Kratky pots with the weakest solution of veg nutrients and transfer the seedling. Gradually increase the veg solution until week 4 or 5 or strong signs of flowering. Move the plants to the main tank filled halfway to a third with a 3/4 strength bloom solution, calmag and silicon. 2 weeks before cropping. Syphon out the tank, fill and syphon and fill with clean water. I would expect a most bountiful crop. Jim, that’s what I would do. Very best of luck with your soil grow. ---

Gro Pro certainly has a good marketing team. My Dad used to use a small upsidedown pot in the bottom of his tomato pots way back in the '60s. As a young lad, I can remember helping him fill the pots. He did it to get better drainage. Spend your money on fabric air pots. ---
