Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Shut off my sprayers in the rails to do some maintenance yesterday..forgot to turn them back on. :dunce: Been about 24hrs and they still look ok..they just had a little droop to them which is what tipped me off. Plugged it in to run continuous for 15 mins to get everything good and wet then back on the timer..see what happens. Good to know they can take a bump in the road..:wall:
 
Little update. Although my couple auto flower plants are healthy, I'm a bit disappointed with the size. Really liking the Royal Queen seeds, my Pineapple Kush & Blue Cheese. Wondering if I should be switching that pineapple kush over to the rails and start flowering.

Been checking out your setup as well as Al B. Fuct's. Love sativa strains which are great for my climate near the equator and I've gotten quite a bit of feedback to run it indoors instead.
Is the setup so that everthing is in 1 room with lights 24/7? Was thinking about multiple rooms to split up but then running an ac in multiple rooms will send red flags everywhere.

Do you think trimming off the lower parts to focus on the top cola gets better yields or the removal reduces the absorption rate?
Is there a reason to allow clones to veg rather than flower immediately?
Will natural air freshners like potpourri, vinegar or candle warmers be able to cover the flowering smell?
I have an apartment to myself but my biggest concerns are whether my neighbours below me sniff it out or my electric bill gets me flagged.
 
Can I use general hydroponic nutrients in a aero system simular to the one originally built on this thread, if so can I run the lucas formula? also how do the ppms differ from dwc. Should they be more concintrated or less, or same ? ? ? Thanks

Use a carbon filter inside a negatively pressurized room(I suggest using a grow tent) and only allow 'clean' air to be vented outside. Also, you may want to include a negative ion generator.

Best thing to do is listen to iriesmiley and get a carbon filter. Even the iPower ones on Amazon are good enough for a smaller grow you can get pretty cheap fans there too be safe don't skimp on smell protection man.

If you have little white dots or little roots starting then you are good. Some strains take a long time to pop roots but yours seems a little excessive. I don't put anything in the water. The water up here runs under 200 PPM and that is mostly calcium. Down in California my water was 900 PPM! Who knows what the fuck was in it. Straight tap water almost killed all my plants! I had to use an RO machine just to get clean water. Something to think about.

Watch out for root rot. If your roots look grey and transparent instead of opaque and white then you have root rot. If that's the case you want to ditch everything and start over. Make sure you bleach everything really well before you bring in a clean batch. Once you get the process wired you will have clones coming out your ass.

Hi Stink, I've tried everything just as you said but I am having no success. I use tab water with distilled water, run my pump 24/7 with airstone. My clones are taking a month to root and having less than 50% success rate. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have them under 2 tubes of t5 about 2ft away. Please help.

Pumps should run 1 min on 4 min off, or close. what's the solution ec and temps?

I run tap water, ph 5.8, about 400 ppm, temp 75..

Is that your air temps or water temps. When rooting you don't have to ph your water. Your water may getting warm when you run your cloner at 24/7. I have good success running them at 4 mins off 1 minute on and I put frozen water bottles for safety because I don't have a chiller. If they are kush genetics they will take a little longer to root. Also are you cutting your cuts at a 45 degree with a clean blade?

Try shooting for 5.4 ph for rooting, once I dropped my ph to that range things seemed to speed up. I've read the slightly more acidic solution is beneficial to cloning for a couple different reasons. 2 of the ones that stuck with me are that bacteria don't like that lower range as much and the more acidic solution promotes tissue scarring which is where roots shoot from..I haven't done much research into either but i can see it being possible. Once i had 75% roots i started shooting for 5.8 again.

Res should be 68-72, ideally, mine go up to 75-77 sometimes if i don't ice them. I've been running hydroguard the last couple weeks which seems to help keeping the bad shit i was initially dealing with when the res's got warm at bay.

I did try 1 min on and 4 off timer too. My water temp goes up to 76. Yes, I am cutting with a clean blade and at 45 degree. I was trying to clone the pure og genetics. I'm so confused. I tried and followed everything.

Ok, I will try 5.4 ph. I have it ph at 5.8. My temp is pretty high so I'll try to put ice bottles in.
 
Just keep trying some OG's can be a bitch to clone I've had OG's take 21 days + in dirt to root. My suggestion would be to take more cuttings, if the leaves have fallen off that's not good. Take twice as many cuttings as you need, persoanlly I take 4x. and choose the best looking clones when rooted the rest get tossed.

I'd start fresh and find some sort of humidity dome to trap it in, whether that be a ziplock or plastic tub. If the leaves are falling off it would seem like the cuttings are too dry above the cloner, that's my 2 cents anyways.

This is how ya do it, nothing homemade and it's right on point. 1lb? A plant try 3
