i checked out ur blog!! i liked it alot but it only addressees experienced growers and mostly deals with making hash. i found useful some of the tips on the bubble hash but i would like if it were more like articles making an encyclopedia for growing our love through your experiences.
ive been reading abit about the vegganics but u need the lovely freedom to grow, in order to do this. ive noticed lets say in stealth grows that being organic and using soil produces quite alot of unwanted waste. so i have been trying to figure out how to make a medium that will be reusable, organic above all, for continuous grows. and i would like to discuss this with u...
otherwise i would love to see you experiment in a number of ways through your blogs.
ive seen your open to discussion so my opinion is take some time to elaborate in a multitude.. i mean write for the new write for those who have started to experience and then for those who have experience... so u dont miss out on readers...
thanks for the feedback. you are so right. as for experimentation... i am working on perfecting the veganics, then back to true experiments. i pretty much consider dropping the poo to be an experiment of sorts.
As for waste... you can re-use your media, but this changes the properties every cycle. And any pests will be perpetuated via this re-use. Indoors, I prefer to start with a clean slate for my media. I plan on changing this in the future but first things first. UptheA said I need to cut out the confounding variables, and he is right.
I'm compiling an actual scientific grow journal right now. Posting it is too much work, so I'm waiting til the end. I'll give you the general layout for one days data, I guessed about the exact numbers because its dark and my journal is in the garden
:
11/12/2010
8am: 74 F, 65% RH
12am: 67 F, 45% RH (lights off from 10 am to 4 pm)
6pm: 72 F 65% RH
9:00pm: water. canopy temp actually 78 F. vertical growth = 18 cm, ***FIM-ed
5 gal RO/5 gal small boy -> 7.8 pH, 98 ppm, 63 F
X tbs molasses -> 6.7 pH, 120 ppm
X tbs widow -> 6.6 pH 140 ppm
4mL/gal vega -> 6.4 pH 280 ppm
1 mL/gal Ca/Mag -> 6.5 pH 300 ppm
1 mL/gal HN roots -> 6.6 pH 320 ppm
2ml pH down -> 6.4 pH 340 ppm
Bubbled for 25 minutes (because Venture Bros came on
)
10 gal = Plenty of water, almost time to transplant again. 1 gal mesh bottom -> 2gal mesh bottom. need to turn on 1 more light. possibly hook up air cooled action & switch from 8" to 6" fan. snow on the hills.
