love the Avatar
I start everything under 1 3ft T5 HO, I think it's like 32 watts, and it's 6500k. and then down below I have a combo of 2ft 4 bulb 6500K T5HO fixture and a 125w 2700K CFL in a bitching sweet modified HID hood. I have a 4" inline fan pulling air through the room and a 12" fan blowing down from the rack above, and I have a air purifier circulating air in there now too. Germinating process is pretty similar, but I'm about to go back to party cups instead of 4" pots, I don't know why, but I swear to god I do better in them.
Lol, seems like growing ganja isn't like riding a bike. I can't slack off anywhere if I want my shit looking good. Makes me want to get back into hydroponics again.thats funny becuase im the opposite, i do great from seed and cant clone for the life of me lololi honestly dont kno what the fuck im doing wrong but all the clones iv taken have limped/leaned over and fail.
Happy Frog is a little hot even if cut 50%. I didn't have great success doing that, I did the same thing but I cut it with Sunshine Mix #4. But it did work. Believe it or not, best clone success was when I had a big ol' slab of rockwool boiler insulation, and would just cut hunks of that out, jam it tight in a party cup with no drainage holes, and poke a hole in it. This stuff was a little fluffier than horticulture grade rockwool but because of all the extra air the roots got it would take off like a bat out of hell.
I'm actually not having great success with the rapid rooters, I was using these super generic ones though, I can't remember who makes them, but I can get like a trashbag full of them for 30 bucks, fucking awesome. Pretty similar to the rapid rooters but they don't crumble apart as easily, and they are more round. I know a guy who has crazy success in an aerocloner with water that is not pH adjusted. It blows my mind, it doesn't work so well for me right now around here though, my water just shot up to 8.0! Constant temp has definitely been helping my success rate. The high pH water is the only downside to growing in winter around here, but now I get to use my heat mat on my clones and they take off in 9 days.
Would like to second that those plants were freakin' phenomenal. And everyone is talking about that PPP!! I think I need to get me some.
Looking way the fuck forward to this. It's going to be a very cool experiment, maybe next time you can fiddle fuck around with hydroponics in the tent.
That is exactly what is going on right now, hahaha. I have 1 more outdoor blue dream to go, and all my fall indoor set ups are just about at full juice, I just need a 1kw fixture for my main veg room. That and I'm going to go fuck the system with this here fake piss. Hasn't failed me yet. Ugh, the other day I tried to use it and the office was closed so I have to try today, but I had the squeeze cap on it, and it leaked like fake piss into my pocket all the way up the mountain as the liquid expanded, while my pocket put pressure on the bottle the entire time. Made me smell marginally pissy at my other doctors visit which was shitty, you really couldn't smell it though unless you had your hand jammed into my pocket.
More info than you asked for and I apologize if this is all something you already know and do, but a lot of growers fail to do this and it causes excessive stretching and smaller yields.
The first recommendation I would suggest is using something to adjust the height at which the pots sit. I also run perpetual so I can relate to your challenges (I run a lot of different strains). My plant containers are being raised and lowered consistently and my light not so much.An earlier flowering plant for instance, can be elevated to make the canopy even with the others in the flowering area. I have and do supercrop in flower, specifically during the stretch and I have notice no visible difference or negative effects on the plant. Just be careful, they're a bit brittle during the stretch because the new growth is pretty "green". I try not to do it, but when necessary I do it. Control and manage your plant canopy simultaneously with your plants' container height and the results will be a better yield and a better product!
My light barely moves, only slight changes based on what the canopy is doing overall... Think of your canopy as pieces to a puzzle that create a blanket of buds. Keep it as even as possible and you will be a happy grower
Go Tigers 2012, go Wings, and GO LIONS!
Go take a piss! My ass is coming in HOT today at 5.2, will check again tomorrow lol
Really though, I read that urine can range from 4.5 - 8 depending on diet.
