I do F&D in lava rock/clay gravel. Anyone is welcome to visit my posts if they ever get the site working properly again. There aren't any threads.
WTF?????? IDK What he was taking bout I advise you to wait for Al he's the big dog! (He's been active on this thread) (Please guys on this thread ask profound questions to have Al come back for a reason.)My simple idea of from what you said and from what I scamed thru right quick I think to achive good yield at SOG you have to have multipul mothers that give out good thick, healthy,big leafs,mature,feed on time, ppm, ph, nutes correct and well takin care of (mothers)then you put them bitches in flower almost a zip per plant or really more. Clone them bitches at 9" And better. Look for an indica strain thats potent of course but that is the trick to the game is finding that nitch that pack buds easy to grow and get ya fucked up, its a course. Dont listen to me wait for Al. GOOD LUCK!ok so 288 if spaced u mean center to center 83.3 wpsf at lamp 350mm =13,79inch give take a mm or 2 given 63 watts at tops id not go ur route plants( really thats more dwc area due to larger root volume those systems create) will to large hinder air circulation cause localized humidy unmanageable problemsdue to over density ive ran 66 watts and found if cutting is small 3inches 6 days veg max those conditions will make them fast if all other factors are kept inline h202 decay is kept up ph nutes res top up checks twice daily no over fert problems/defs ur 150cm colas will get 75% less light at the bottems to tops and that given no leaves to hinder penatrtion ie wisby buds smaller palnts in this syle growing is best for maxium bract density giving u one huge cola 10-12" long higher quaitiy as well due to plants have greater stimuils to respond too ive found higher wpsf = max resien max desinity bestresults just my opinion

we will never know lollmfao. Maybe he knows what hes trying to say but is bad at putting it into words? Idk
just my 2 cents but u grow ur own moms n ur clonrs will b e strong i dont lik releying on clubs/friends to many give out clones from unhealthu stock ie PM, this simple mistake i was in a time crunch i did same thing as u and trust the grower of clones as my last grow i had to use sulfur tried all remides this worked best due to no rh spikes(folair spray cures)this sulfur saves my buds but cost me 50 pounds of hash making sweet leaf and pounds of product i had it but i cant smoke it tastes like hydralic fuild smells nasty so if any has better cure for PM ive tried rh 30 ,25'temps i cant go any higher in light intesity,milk sprays baking soda sprays im tring UV light with great sucess with killing PM as i run sealed rooms with uv lighing on all intakes to make sure no molds,fungi,viruses can get to my babies and i helped to breach my defences STUPID MISTAKE but i hear round these parts pk ,danby are PM spyies waiting to get ur babies under thier control this reson alone its worth urt ime to grow mom stock if u cant ie no room make deal with buddy he helps u u help him works for all iam waiting for my snow slyder PM resistent now only 3 weeks old/joker collection old school afgani crossed northern #1 heavy larthgenic/narcotic stone avge sog 20-25 grams per pole highest 33 grams sog method
like i said.... crack is a hell of a drugthis guy Al will know( i like techincal) what iam saying( im used to my own grows and i iam controll freak hence i grow hydro) iam new to givin simple instrution( iguess real simple is best here lol) only 18 year hydro vetern and dispencery supplier with me extra im medical card holder and when done my current hydro grow my pic n video (can that be posted here i havent found any) all who dont know will be come an instant fan ive been growing like the methods decribed here for 17 years and think its great there sites like this i want start a medical club (so i have no legal issuses) and hands on train pple art of hydro,aeroponics even soil if thats thier thing lol as i just started my pk hydro grow 2 weeks in on that one and 4 2 days on my large flowering room 20 by 10 60 watts per square foot 2 large ac for temp controll demidifeirs 8 lights (1000's all air cooled tubes but its top floor so ac is needed co2 1100ppm max 900 turn on general hydro nutes flora series i love its tweakablty (iam trying to crack 3.0/ GPW IVE HIT 2.6 on 6on-12off at thatback to back
using f-1 hybrids as the grow bout 20% faster haevier potent as hell basic light pyhsics an object twice as far waay from light (ie bottems of his 3 foot super buds )will get 8 times less light energy meaning ill keep it basic lol jk if using a 1000 at proper distance 24 inches from tops to bottem not even the 36 " hes asking bout at 24 75% light is lost due to photons lose energy exponentiolly3-1 per 12 inches but this guy Al so busy and hes already given u systems here and like myself has tried going larger on hydro table and found for extra veg time (even if just the 7-14 day u said u wanted)has found wieght drops due to veg time given (i mean 2 crops no veg say 50 day strain not incl cloning 100 day average no add in that month veg for both crops and uve done well big long 3footers but thier light airy and just not as good as ur capable of and u wasted a month flowering time to get less than steller results was what i was say
If you could spell at atleast a fourth grade level, your comments might hold a little more weight.sorry im little over UR head man and ur level of expertze but this is extremely accurate of light dissapation laws if u dont want to learn them the easy way be all means learn em the hard way buddy id send u my current grow pics when done so u can drool at what can be abtained when at this level i leave nothing unknown this i believe has led to my success as ull see in near future PEACE
Argh. You know, I haven't got any sort of checklist. Decades into this trip, I'm actually still quite uneasy about keeping any notes or records around. I run the checklist in my head, which is always dangerous for a stoned slacker. It's easy to forget, for example, when the last time was I dosed the tanks with H2O2 (fuck, I gotta do that tonight...).Al, could you please tell us what's your daily/weekly/bi-weekly checklist?
It could be good if you'll make some kind of tutorial how to conduct OP like yours. I mean what are you doing step by step when you enter the room and why in this specific order. It will probably stop continous questions about the same things. I won't deny that it will help me a lot, cos I'm fucking perfectionist and you're a master in my eyes in what you're actually doing. I've read every post in all of your threads but it's difficult to come back and find an specific answer in thicket of information.
It's around 2L each Flores A&B per flowering system tank change (4x 125L tanks), so 4L/month. Veg plants use about 250-300ml Vega per (~50L) tank, so 500-600ml/month.How much of Canna nutes do u use monthly for mothers and flowering plants, roughly?
I use potassium hydroxide based pH Up from Ye Olde Hydroe Shoppe.I can't remember what do you use as ph up?
Yep. Works fine with the mums as well as flowering plants.Do you use phosporic PH down for all stages of grow?
No. You'd be amazed at how little sulfur the 'burner' actually uses. I put about 50-60g of sulfur powder in it when I got it several years ago and have not had to put any more in. The 'burner' runs 2x15mins/day in lights off; you can smell it when it's running but it's not overpowering and the scent goes away almost immediately after the thing cools down. Suffice it to say it puts very little sulfur onto the plants. All it takes is a very faint mist on the leaves to make them inhospitable to powdery mildew, etc. There's never any sulfur scent or flavour on the buds.Haven't you noticed any bad smell or taste issues because of sulfur vap?
Hey Al why not feed when lights out?
Lots of folks have monkeyed around with photoperiods, for very little return, if not introducing problems (i.e. hermaphrodism in extreme cases). Cannabis plants flower best at 12h light/dark. Reducing the light period reduces the light energy available for photosynthesis. Increasing the light period to 14h would invite mixed veg/flowering growth habit, such as sparse buds on long stems.And I read somewhere that a guy was flowering 10 hours lights on 14 hours lights off, everyday what you think of that?
To get a plant that size requires that it be vegged for a 2-3 weeks. This requires that you maintain a separate vegging area for plants you later intend to flower. It'd have to be about half the size of the flowering room. A vegging period will also induce much taller plants than non-vegged plants by the time they're ready to harvest. Tall plants are not your friend in the flowering room because of the limited canopy penetration of artificial light. Even the mighty 1000HPS will only make nice, dense buds competently down to about 600-700mm down from the plant tips. This limited light penetration is the entire reason for the SoG method. Short plants have all of their flowering mass in the butter zone as regards light intensity.Also I seen another guy doing SOG but they make bigger plants maybe about 2 feet start flowering, I was thinking of that and have less plants, have about 4 big plants every 2 weeks in a SOG rotation, at 4oz per plant what you think of that Al?
The MLC-4X is simply a high power relay that allows you to control 4 lights using a single, light-duty timer. The timer need only be able to switch enough current to turn on the relay in the MLC-4X unit. All the lights connected to the unit come on at the same time when the timer energises the relay in the unit.Also I was referred to this MLC-4X for your lights, you can plug in 4000 watts to this, and it gives more amps to hold in a room or power IDK, Im not sure about this. If possible can you let me know your idea or google or check it out and see if this is something worth buying is it a good buy, I never heard anyone talking about this so IDK if its new or what. Just want your opinoin. Thanks for all you input.
