a bunch of views but

[grow1]

i got a bunch of views of my question but no answers. can someone help me out. i usually use a constant drip but i'm trying ebb & flow this time.
the question is:
my plants will grow to be about 6 ft tall. they are in 5 gallon buckets in a 24 bucket setup under a 600w light, 4 x 4 x 4 rockwool cubes in clay pellets. how long should the plants be flooded and how long should they be drained during flowering

I don't have the answer to your question, but I believe that you have other things you should deal with first. How big is your space? You only have a single 600W? At 6' tall, the bottom 1/2 of the plants will not get nearly enough light. In addition, IMO, there is no way that a 600W will provide enough light to 24 buckets with plants that are 6' tall. Plants 6' tall will most likely demand at least 4 sq ft each (a 2 x 2 space). Even it you have the buckets packed as tightly as they will go, you would need 24 sq ft and then you would need to keep them about 3' tall or less. A 600W is good for a max of about 18 sq ft.

That space will need at least one 1000w lamp. 6 ft is a big plant, you could grow 3 ft. in half the time and still walk away with more bud in the end. Just my 2 cents, but I would start flowering them at 18 inches. I wish I could go back in time and do that because my plants are way to big now in my space and I only went to 18-24 inches when I flowered. They are now 4 ft and I think they have another foot to go. Problem is I only have about 6 inches to give them. See the dilema in growing big bushes.

you could grow 3 ft. in half the time and still walk away with more bud in the end (and less agrevation). Just my 2 cents, but I would start flowering them at 18 inches.(or smaller).

I used ebb and flo forever mostly use to veg now.... as far as how much water well depends on the strain and a few other things but for now start 15 min on 30 off. cant go wrong there it might be lil more water tho than the plants need. I would grow them out small maybe even start 12 12 after5 wks i dont go more than 12 inches with indicas i tend to let them veg a lil longer i know this sounds backwards but sativas will blow up in size so i bud them small. eitherway post specs on the room you have how many amps you have how big the space is ect and im sure you can get more info. the more details you tell us about your grow the more we can help you out.
