Diggs99 First grow, Lets talk about it!

[H.A.F.]

The new room is 3x4. Might be better but the 3' width still limits you.

 

[diggs99]

Sucks about your supply issues. I use Amazon too much, but just found a hydro store near my new house (a few cities over) that I haven't had time to check out yet.

I have no interest in anything other than soil, just my preference, and I am leaning towards 3 gallon pots max in the future, just because they are so easy to deal with. Less water/nutes to deal with, a flush doesn't require an hour of watering and 6-10 gallons, a full pot weighs less than 20lbs,etc.

That, and I now have room to grow plenty if needed. With the 5 gallon pots, 2 plants crowded the small closet. Your 4x4's are perfectly sized for 4 plants in 5 gallons. My 3x3 will fit them, but the plants are never happy so the 3 gallon and more plants, is easier. If this thing with the 4-cylinder manifolds works, I could have 8 plants going comfortably all the time. At lights on this evening I am switching the plants over and switching the rooms. The smaller veg room just makes sense. I re-rigged my lights to gain another foot so it should be good unless I get a giraffe.

Ya I use amazon lots aswell

I've bought 3 bags of ffof so far , all for 17.99

Hydro show says he can get it brought in but at this time it's for 60.00 a bag

Amazon wants 80.00 shipped

So coco it is. I must say, I like the idea of watering and feeding everyday, the results seem to speak for themselves, guys are doing well in coco it seems.

I have nothing but good things to say about ffof and my soil grows, but I can't pay 60.00 a bag just for soil, that's absurd lol

Haven't stopped by in a while and I must say things are looking KILLER Diggs! Your on the home stretch. Good job your a natural.

 

[Nutzach91]

Ya and 60.00 bucks for a bag of soil is insane I think it's like 17 or 20 at the grow store near me.

I did the "prime" thing just for the free shipping. Not sure how Trudeau has that working for the great white north.

 

[diggs99]

Ya im not too sure, havent looked into the prime at all

 

[diggs99]

These pics are taken hours apart, manifold got cleaned up during that time

these space cookies are resilient little bitches

 

[H.A.F.]

I do that too I love doing LST and really stretching them out, then taking a pic a few hours later.

Ya i enjoy it and also fun to see just how fast they can bounce back

Not sure the Canadian version if there is one, but it's about $100 for a year and includes free 2-day shipping on "most" stuff. But everything else shows up quick unless it's from China. You get to watch movies and stuff too.

 

[H.A.F.]

It's cool because it sells weed related items to places where it's otherwise hard to find, or expensive like you are talking about. For example, there might be several places that all sell FFOF on amazon. The prices may all be different, but some may be "prime" eligible and have their stuff strategically placed for 2-day shipping. Others that don't do that might charge less but you have to wait a week. It's worth it in the end, especially if you are rural.

 

[H.A.F.]

It is really good for if you need some BS disposable piece of equipment like an oscillating fan or a humidifier. You can get stuff really cheap, and know that f it doesn't work you can return it, but if it doesn't last long you didn't spend much.

 

[diggs99]

Day 55

I can't help myself. I'm a picture whore


My staking game needs serious work lol, shes more lopsided this morning than she was yesterday, needless to say, i didnt do a very god job with the support

@Renfro idea of string across upper bars and tying them up might be my best option.

I will be having a trellis or tomatoe cages on the next run

 

[Gollyboy]

Looking good haven't been on for a while u won't be to long now

Thanks man, ya they still swelling up nicely, few more spots beginning the fade to amber, another week or so for sure, maybe, hopefully, i dunno lol

 

[Gollyboy]

I don't know what to do with mine weather to the down again then leave them grow straight up or just leave them grow up now and flip on the height I want them to flip

If i had my time back i would have left my ties on until harvest. It helps the plant keep from closing in on itself.

 

[Gollyboy]

My ties are still on haven taken them off I was thinking of just moving them up a node or 2

I am going to do a @Dyna-Gro nute plant with their sample-pack for the contest. And when I mentioned this in the contest page the guy (or girl?) said they would toss me an extra sample-size bottle of a nute (I forget which one it was) that I would be most likely to run out of if I needed it.

Did you already get your sample pack?
