FlowaMasta'a NEW Jack H x Skunk - 1 Plant 600HPS + UVB Monster Scrog!!!

[flowamasta]

Ach man, yer still a spring chicken, lol.....And as I always say, you are as young as the women you feel......




Well Mo, if I was born on the 29th of Feb I would be 10 this year, lol. And I agree, took me a few years to start to appreciate the many subtleties of a fine malt. I was more of a Sour Mash drinker in my younger days, but grew up to appreciate the real amber nectar. Been slurping The Balvenie of late and really really liking it (it's only a 12 yr, but top notch). My fave is the Glenlivet 18yr though....the lack of a bottle of that in my collection at this moment is worrying me! Not be long before I am in Duty Free again though.

lol u drinkers hehe 'jk' i myself can't find an alcohol nice enough to drink, so i just don't drink!

flowa dwc is deep water culture. its a basis for many types of hydro. ur hempys style is kinda similar...hit me up for more info im switching over to hybrid dwc system soon...

DST man i LOVE talking amber ichor! laphroaig happens to be my favorite, the peat used to fire the malt adds an AMAZING flavor complex to their whiskey. the glenlevit is always a fantastic bottle. ive actually been to that distillery. it was beautiful i LOVE Scotland!

 

[Gorbzzz]

Yeah Deep Water Culture. Mainly bubbleponics is what I was doing, I got root rot though and couldnt get rid of it, even with 50% h202. So im thinking about trying your hempy style looks alot more simple and less prone to root rot

Thanx man, still learning, and instead of googling it i thought it would be handy for others to know also cheers again

i think aslong as i keep my system clean and flush weekly, i shouldn't get root rot, perlite is very very clean, and i run it under a warm shower for ages before i transplant my clone, and wash it thoroughly..
also i feed every 2.5 hours , 15 minute intervals. if i feed less often i notice growth decreasing and leaves will wilt, it seems to like to be more wet than dry, especially during flowering, she will drink 10-15 litres a day in heavy flower.

I don't use any H202, nor do i use a zyme product. i actually only use base grow a+b + b1 boost, and dr. repair. going to basics for this plant, if i see something lacking i will add supplements.

10-15 litres

I'm pretty sure my babies are gone and will be going in the bin :\ Ill have to try get more beans from attitude then try hempy. I'd be happy for any advice you could give

 

[EROsain]

wow, how much do you feed every 2 . 5 hours ?

i'd be happy to help, i try to include everything i do in my threadm i'd be happy for you to follow along

wow, how much do you feed every 2 . 5 hours ?

i can't give an exact amount as it's all auto set on a pin timer, my pump will feed 1200 litres per hour, it's a little too powerful, so i submerge my feedring slightly under the perlite so it doesn't splash...when the pump is running it will stay on for 15 minutes, the whole nutrient solution will be run through the medium, there is also an airstone in the res to accommodate extra oxygen. It is recirculated through my system and the plant will use up the food as it needs to. the perlite won't latch onto the nutrients like soil, as to why regular feeding is necessary to keep the medium consistent, if it dries too much, salt will build up, find a happy medium that will drench the entire system thoroughly for the duration of the 15 minutes. the system will be completely recirculated and returned to the res inless than 5 minutes, that's how fast the perlite will drain. that time will increase as the roots get thicker and they will hold more water.
however, you don't want to leave the res pump on all the time. it needs that dry time for stability dry/wet/dry/wet it should never get fully dry though. after 2 hours the perlite will start to feel lighter, and feeding will be utmost important..

 

[Gorbzzz]

Have you ever done or thought about the perlite/vermiculite mix? To hold water for less feedings?

I have researched this, and no, vermiculite holds too much water, and would get gluggy....i think the key is something that drains efficiently and dries quickly, as that will allow it to hold more oxygen. water isnt the key factor water/air ratio is...

vermiculite is better in a smaller medium setup i would think, my pots are 50 litres, and that would never dry enough, nor drain fast enough, thanx man good thinking though
It doesn't matter how many times i have to feed, the important thing to remember is to keep consistency, the pump is all auto so it doesnt phase me how often it gets fed

dwc is deep water culture I believe.....

cheers D, i'm learning more about the system ive been using all along never really thought about it as, it's all i've been taught, if i learnt my own way, i would of had no hope, i would of used plain ol potting mix!!! i guess i was very lucky to get good teacher, he always brags to me ' taught by the best' and well, i can't complain that's for sure, i actually beat him with my last yield and he kindly asked for a sample, and i didnt hear back hehe

Flow do you brew a tea for your hempy grows?

Flow do you brew a tea for your hempy grows?

no, strictly synthetics, i do compost teas for outside clones i don't think organics would survive long in perlite, but i don't know anything about hydro organics, sorry man i do have a mate who does organic fish farm hydro, works quite well if you want a swimming pool in your bedroom lol

actually come to think of it organic tea may work, but the feeding process is way out of my depth man

I use Distilled Water, Great White, Earthworm Castings, Molasses and brew for 48 hours.

and that's why you get erbs like you do man, you are a pro in a whole different game...i admire your work, your plant reminds me of one of slanty's purps beautiful colours, and strong depth of contrast....I really love your erbs man, so you're an organic man, love your work man, i love all styles, one day i will learn from your thread and do an organic grow!!, i'm just doing what i've learnt, it suits me, and seems fit for what i need, having a limited time for growing ( inspections every 3 months...) i need to grow as fast and as much as i can for 1 plant

 

[F.M.I.L.Y]

I am no pro bro, but thanks for the kind words. I just use "X" Nutrients Baseline (Grow/Micro/Bloom). I only use the tea when I am doing DWC grows.
