Perpetual Growers Thread

Been busy lately. About to move soon. I'm thinking I might switch to a perpetual scrog. My WW is on the left and the Black Valley is on the right.

I did the scrog dwc and it was not fun . If you go that route do your self a favor and keep a pump inside to drain and a port for fill , I didn't and once that screen was full of budz it was a pain in the ass to fill and drain .i use a areo/dwc hybrid for vegg and they luv it , but then str8 dwc for flower .

I use a shop vac to drain, works good for me.
 
Trying to SOG with 1 litre coco hempy containers, 7cm*7cm and some more in height.

I have experience with 10 l coco hempys SCROGed.

Question is, hows my nutrients? Been using Canna Coco, can I continue with it? Just feed daily and use light feeding, same feeding, for every girl?
 
My next setup is going to be a hempy with an external rez. I want to get back to growing bigger plants with minimum work. With the rez outside the tent it'll stay cooler and changing it will be simple. I still plan on running a perpetual just in a way that I'm used to. I've grown single plants that have given me a lb, my previous setup drove me crazy!
I'm thinking I'll have a harvest every month this way but my numbers will at least be pretty much guaranteed this way.

Let me know how that trimming goes. I'll be moving sometime in the near future so after the plants I have going now are done I won't start anything until I'm in the new house.

Who said a dwc scrog would be a pain in the ass? You guys got me thinking I'm gunna grow a scrog instead of sog on they skywalker. I have the net attached to the top of the cooler so in theory I should be able to hinge it open to maintain and change the res. It's still dwc/aero but we will see how it goes.

In my experience, if I did a dwc scrog again I would make it to were I would not ever have to open the lid that was my only negative knock against it , were did you get your skywalker beans from ???

Attitude I bought a 5 pack of fem it's reserva privada. I'll post a pic later I'd feel bad chopping her up for clones so she's going in the screen tonite to veg for 2 weeks under my solarstorm. The screen is 42" x 22" I should only have to open the top to check ph and ppms. It's a cooler so it has a drain and I just pump in water after draining.
 
OK, this is part of the stand that my cans will sit on. I used 3/4in PVC tees so if I need to raise it I can just add what I need. Another board just like it but without the tees will go on top. (2nd pic) 3/4in drain holes in the bottom can. (3rd pic) 10 Gal. smart pot to keep the perlite from falling through the drain holes. 20 Gal. of perlite in the top can. The bottom can will have a 3/4in hole in it with a tube running back to the external rez. Can with the perlite will have a 1/2in tube from the rez with a drip ring around the plant being turned on about every 4 hours for about 20 minutes. That's a massive amount of space for one indoor plant!

I will for now on hang dry plants all as one , and manicure after a 10-14 day dry this was my first time doing it like this and it wasn't even as bad as I thought trimming all the dry leaves it was actually fast imo , and with this way my bud never smelled hay like and when I droped it into the jars was at 68% and smoke tasted better then ever smelled dank and burned really well for not even going though the cure yet . I always shyed away from drying whole plant due to the fact I thought it was going to be a pain to trim , but well worth it , off the eight plants I clocked in at just over a LB , and quite a bit of popcorn and fluffy buds to get a few grams or more of extract

That's the same reason I've never dried a untrimmed plant, I almost did it with my smaller ones this go round but I always chickened out. I'll grow a pair and try it soon.
