SOG growers wanted !!!

[GypsyBush]

you water them by hand eh?

 

[GypsyBush]

and I meant perpetual like this..

 

[Xare]

Ya they drink 1 cup of nutes each every other day.

I mix up 2 gallons of fresh nutes at a time in a pressure sprayer.

5 / 10 lucas formula - every other two feedings they get PH'ed water only.

I use the sprayer to fill up a pitcher and I pour the water in a 1 cup measure and give it to each plant.

Yea I see the benefit of that, its breaks up the monotony of the Trim JOB.

But I think I can trim my 25 clones in one sitting.

If I get 15-20 grams per thats about 1 pound and that is more then double my needs.

 

[GypsyBush]

I like harvesting...

and this way it's never far..

But it was just a thought...

You are doing a splendid job!!

 

[Xare]

How often do you ebb and flowers have to check on your rez to top it off / adjust the PH and PPM's ?

I flood and drain 6x a day.. zero at night..

I use an over-sized res.. so I do not need to top off...

I just change the res every 2 weeks...

and now that I am back to using my old nute and h2o2 my res is stable..

it's been 7 days at 5.8~6.0... I use a continuous meter, the probe just sits in the res all the time... and I just read the display...

I have left my op alone for almost 2 weeks when I had surgery... I was worried... but everything was just hunky dory when I finally got out of bed...

equiment failure makes a daily visit seem sensible...

 

[Xare]

I see an ebb and flow system in my future sometime. So I do read alot about that type of setup.

Orzz also suggested an oversized rez for stability and it seems longevity.


This hempy grow is my first time flowering with a real grow light. Ive been mostly an outdoor organic grower till this point.

Bump what GB said.
Except I use guardian MY and don't use h2o2.
I keep my rezs outside of the tents and keep the water temp at 70 F.
I also keep the rez light tight.

During the height of flowering I top off the rezs with filtered water every 3 days. Usually 10 - 15 gallons.
pH back down to 5.8.

and for me and those that don't use h2o2 Hygrozyme is a must.

My pH will vary if I don't do a good job of pre-treating and soaking whichever rw I am using. (I use both the small kubzz and grow cubes from 3 to 6 inches.)

how much can you yield minimum and maximum with 40 watts per sq ft with an SOG if i had no veg time just flowered 4 inch clones? how much would my main cola weigh dry? Ill be stuffing 4 plants per sq ft with little short lollipops

so many variables...

I can't answer that accurately...

prolly somewhere between 1/8 to 3/4 oz depending on the variables...

ok so after the clones have been rooting for 2 weeks in rockwool, when you transfer them to pots, how far up do you flood?

1/2 inch below bottom of the rockwool cube? Will that get the roots sufficiently wet?

Probably be a good idea to hand water for a few days to a week until the roots can knit down into the medium. Water around the cube, not the cube itself. After that you should be golden with your regular flood schedule.

Yup...just like Al approved...

here's how HE put it...

BRAVO!

Spot ON!!!

BUT, in my op, I do find that only a very few actually need hand watering...

When I put them in the pots and move them to flower (same day) I OVER-wet the cubes to about 50 grams.... which usually allows the plant to reach the flood without running out...

50 grams would be too wet for a fresh cutting, but not for a PROFUSELY rooted clone..

Cheers...

Awesome, thanks for the quick responses. Every time I think I've covered everything, something else pops up that I wouldn't know how to handle.

Trying to get everything sorted out on paper beforehand. 1 month before I start!

I got some pure F2 Brothers Grimm C99 seeds from ripz, that site has great prices, and free shipping w/ stealth packaging?! Absurd!

I don't know what other strains I want to start with, I have 2 predominantly sativa strains, does anyone know of some more even hybrids that are good for cloning? Thinking of going with Ice, I haven't seen too many people growing it on this site.

No worries mate... that's what we're all here for...

So you got some c99 eh?!?!

nice..

I'd hold off on any other strain purchases...

I pretty much want to kill everything I got and go strictly c99...

but I can't just get rid of 6 other awesome strains...

but c99 is the SHIT!!!

fast slut she is... mine looks almost done at 6 weeks... dense like and Indica, short like an indica, but way heady Sative high... heart racing and shit...

I'm not kidding you... and I am no kid... I've had my share of dank...

What a special high...

good luck with her... I fell completely in love...

 

[doktorgreenthumb420]

yea gypsy i want to try that c99 ........its that good huh

my BB from nirvana is doin well inmy new aero/nft (stinkbud) system

i might have asked before but where can you get those seeds from ?

 

[GypsyBush]

Old hippies...

but i hear someone is finally making some available again...

check...

Hahaha, I thought you were all about the Juicy Fruit

I just want to have a little variety, don't wanna get burnt out on the Cindy (although I bet that's hard to do)

 

[GypsyBush]

Juicy Fruit is TASTY...

No .. it's FUCKING TASTY...

But she's no Cindy...
