yeah what i don't like about that site is that it's in the UK and it's frequently kinda slow then again, riu is frequently down

icmag has more og shit because icmag came on the scene right as og & CW got taken down... overgrow still the best weed site i ever been on... of course maybe that's just cuz i was a noob then

Glad to see you still have some girls around!
How old are they ya think?

Wow they did have a fairly wide book selection huh?

 

[Voidling]

Those were the cuts I took right before giving you the moms

 

[Theowl]

Oh cool. Lose any?

 

[Voidling]

Yeah a lot never rooted. Not sure if those roots well survive in coco now. Also not sure I can get them threaded through a net pot to keep hydroponic

 

[Senseimilla]

Lookin good there you are braver than I am...

 

[Voidling]

Braver how? It was unintentional left too long in the bubble cloner

 

[Voidling]

The black egg is a power head. I expected it to be chicken egg size, ended up huge.

Braver how? It was unintentional left too long in the bubble cloner

Ah didn't realize unintentional... but I just meant with the hydro in general... soil gives me a buffer against my own laziness hydro can be a lot less forgiving

 

[Theowl]

Does anyone ever root prune in hydro?
Could be a solution...

 

[Senseimilla]

Never heard of it... I would guess it would survive going into coco if given plenty of tlc... you could then take more cuts for your hydro setup. Coco would definitely be less of a ph shift than going to soil... but i have gone from a pretty developed bubbler root mass (not near that big) into soil without losing the plant. TIP: Maximum dose of superthrive when watered in to her new home if you put her in coco... it makes a big difference for me for transplant stress.... i usually see none if i water in with superthrive and the roots stretch right on into their new home quickly.

Thanks sensei. I'll give it a try.

Debating on hydroton or coco in the pots for shallow water culture.

Need to pick up paint to black out the lid. Not sure if regular spray paint will work. Might need to go with the special plastic spray paint and sand paper it first.

 

[Senseimilla]

I dunno... hydroton seems like it would be better for water culture... but I don't know shit about it

 

[Theowl]

They make a plastic spray paint primer, no sanding required!

Hydroton does seem better, just for lack of stuff falling in the water.

 

[Voidling]

Looks like I could of done 10 pots if I'd gone with bubbles and only 7 with power head

 

[Theowl]

Well, that's better than none

But sucks that it took up that much space.. Any way you could center it, and add another cup?

 

[Voidling]

Was afraid of roots getting in the impeller if out was too close to a plant.

I used a 2 3/4 in hole saw for 3 in cups. Home depot didn't have 2 7/8 I've seen people recommend.

While drilling the lid a had several spots that sent out cracks. One broke out a large chunk. I took a high temp soldering iron and melted the stuff back together. I think it'll be strong enough. I then painted it white top and bottom with the spray paint for plastic. I'll give it some time to cure but I'm so excited I want to just throw it all together now. I'm going to drop seeds in water tonight.

I cut 5 of the 8 holes with no problem. Number 6 broke out. Number 8 broke out a smaller piece.

6.5 - 7 gallons of water for the swc. Will run it with straight water first weekish. Then will start topping off with a jug of certs mixed full strength from then on.

Got the noids earlier when there was a sheriff sitting a block away back in my country neighborhood. Haven't seen a cop out here in years
