Kitty's Commercial Grow Op-Bigger & Better Every Day!

You said you have a 4x8 flood tray and I see you have some plants in buckets, some in solo cups and some others in solo cups inside plastic bins. is this some sort of rotation you have going and how do the buckets and solo cups get water? Are there holes in the bottoms and/or sides of the cups and buckets and what about the ones in the plastic bins?

1.) Seeds in Paper Towels -or - Clones clipped

2.) (96w T5) Root them all in RapidRooters. When roots form:

3.) (400w T5) Transfer to party cups with a little Hydroton for a few more days

4.) (1000w MH) Transfer into 1 gallon buckets until they are 10-12" tall

5.) (1000w HPS) Flower 8 weeks and chop em!

There are holes in the bottoms of the cups, and they flood and fill in the tray just like the buckets. I give everything in veg Week 1 nutrients (450ppm) regardless of their true age.

I water them once daily, that's all, and foliar feed them 2-3x a day.

The party cups also work very well next to a clone dome.........

Hydroton is very forgiving for transplanting younglings, I've never seen them have any stress from it. Its not like they have gigantic root balls at a week old anyway.......

That sounds pretty simple. I too use the rapid rooters to clone in. I think we have the same T5 light too. Mine is a Sun Blaze, it's 2'x4' with 8-54 watt bulbs. I was transplanting the clones into an aeroponics unit, but i think I like your idea of the flood tray better. Much easier to transplant into the buckets. You run 450ppm the entire veg cycle?

If ever you have time I would like to know the break down of your feeding schedule from start to finish. Not necessarily what nutes you use, but the ppm you run throughout the grow and how many times you feed through out the entire cycle? Thank you.

Aye... maybe I should've checked the date of the post. sorry.
I'm more interested in the room construction than the plants though, if I can be honest.

Yep! Same light.


Feed schedule is Humboldt 3-Part Conventional 8 Week. Its on their website somewhere @ humboldtnutrients.com. They dont specify ppm, but somewherre in this thread is pictures of my feed chart and you'll see it markered in at the top each week of the target ppm.

I do keep 450ppm the entire veg cycle. When bumping it up 100ppm each week in veg works, it doesnt help when you want to keep a same reservoir. I never really saw a huge benefit from increasing weekly ppm for veg. In bloom for sure, the ppm matters greatly. Cant get too high or too low, gotta follow the charts.

nice to hear that observation, and this of course if your doing a SOG kind of grow.. and also of course all nutrients come with different charts, i like the way mine is set up, makes sense to me for the most part.

and you can kiss it all good by if you keep on drug dealing. you're getting cocky posting up those mushrooms. there's good reason you're one of the larger growers on here, the rest aren't dumb enough to show them.

there is no retirement for drug dealers, remember that

Waaaaaaaaaaaaah, my pussy hurts. Blow me. Nice 3 posts here. My grow is extremely small in comparison to a lot. Its just larger than most that are on RIU. Enjoy your (brief) stay on RIU.

I dont have much knowledge in this area..... For now I'll just be picking good mothers to keep, and then eventually pollinate a bit and breed however that is done. I for sure would love to learn and create my own female seeds, I dont like clones so much because of the mother space and more nutrients etc, but they do make for the best even canopy. We'll see what to do soon for now just not too sure.........

Cheers

Kitty,

Nice thread & grow

You could increase the yield of some of those bigger plants if you drill a few holes in the buckets then train a few of those outside limbs by pulling them down & away from the center stem

Good luck on the rest of your grow

T

well, feminized seed arent nothing to get your hands on.
just choose your strain youd like to do it to,(as many as you want)
and i use a spray that stress's the your plant leaste and you dont have to grow your plant 5 weeks longers.
lol. but a female plant produces male parts.(you know the na nas) but these "na nas" lol
contain female traits. so a female bananna pollinate a female cylax. = fem seeds.
we do it all the time. just honestly prepare to lose that plant due to stress.
even if kept to the minnumum. so you should pic a strain from the start and dedicate it to that.
but make it worth it cause it will be. but dont think it as easy as stress a female.
i call it "stressin in style" lol its fun when it works.
but sometimes you get a clutch of hermis, with leave a shit load of unhappy patients.
Hope i encourge you to do so.
id love everyone to start breeding. get the good seeds out and about. get the world growing pot. good pot

Thanks dude! If you had a link or could write a step-by-step that'd be fantastic. I have tons of space, so losing an extra plant is fine. I'd probably pick one of the nicer ones in veg and try this out. Also, what would the spray actually be? Water mixed with.................................................. And on the hermie note, if I lose the plant to stress, I'm happy as long as it gives seeds. I'd throw it away after including any bud on it ---- errr make hash with probably.

Your name says it all 420buzzkill HATER!!!! Get a life and STOP worrying about others!!! She's a big girl and is well aware of any consequences she may face. Shit, We all are. SO go to the "I need a DAD" thread and worry about some one who needs it.
