Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

yeah they wilt like 6hrs after being cut, and kinda stay soft for a week, the 1st cuttings are standing on their own with roots (3 now out of 7) but all the new cuttings are droopy

They should not droop at all. Low humidity may be too extreme for the babies. You may have not choice but to dome them.

Is your room too hot? I keep my cloner/veg room at normal room temp, 70-75 degrees.
 
Hey stink -
I have a bunch of seedlings in the aerocloner and I must say they are growing like crrrrraaaaaazzzzyyy. Do you have any estimates for at what point you can start adding nutes? I know you don't add any until they are in the veg unit right? Do you think you can add nutes at 2w? 10d? I have the feeding schedule for botanicare nutes and it looks like you are giving the veg unit the week 3 dosage - is this correct?

It's like this... you can start adding nutes as soon as you see roots.

But only if all the clones have roots. If they don't have roots and you start giving them nutes they take longer to root.

If you don't give them nutes, you force them to grow roots to get some. Does that make sense?

I don't add any nutes because I always have cuttings at different stages going. Also the Clonex I use has nutrients for the cuttings.

If I did have all my cuttings showing roots then for sure I would add nutes. If your cuttings have healthy roots and they still have another 10+ days in the cloner, then go ahead and add some nutes. I'd say 1000-1500 PPM would be fine.

If the leaves look healthy after a week then take it up to 2000 PPM. First sign of your PPM being too hot is tip burn. If you see tip burn take it back down 200-300 PPM.

It takes a while to dial in a strain. If you run 10 strains like me you can never have it perfect for all the strains.

I feel like a plant politician. No matter what I run my PPM at, some of the plants are going to complain!:cuss:
 
Well I threw some cuttings in with my seedlings and while the seedlings are growing like crazy I have yet to see any roots on my cuttings. They've been in for ~5 days. When you said earlier that you take a 2-4" cutting is that the length that is protruding from the bottom of the neoprene collar? I'm thinking that I might have taken my cuttings too short. Some of the cutting leaves are starting to turn yellow from the tip and I'm pretty certain they are using up the nitrogen that was stored in them.


Thanks,
DP

how many plants do you harvest each harvest within the 30 day period to produce a pound? and how tall are the plants? are you doing an sog grow? Also how big is your flowering room and how much light are ur ppants under? I am having trouble finding the optimum amnt of light to supply to my babies and would be extremely happy to get an lb every 30 days!

-Thanks!
 
Hey Stinkbud, could you give me some rough measurements on that little NFT system you built? I'm prepping my flower room now so I'm trying to figure out how I can get 3 of those bad boys in there!:bigjoint:

the closet itself stays about 76 ish, but under the t5 it is in the 80's with the dome. do you think that i should rise the t5 a lil, rite now its 6in off the tops of the cuttings.

did i miss something when did stink build a nft? I thought all of his units were aero. either way he has posted plans and tuts on the cloner and the veg units, go back a few pages
 
anyone else running into an issue with the pH climbing in the aerocloner? I measured the pH today and it was up at 7.7. Some of my young seedlings have the leaves starting to twist and turn at the edges and I'm hoping this is just a pH problem. They have no nutes yet and it's not a heat issue so I'm pretty certain that it's pH.

I'd just like to hear some other opinions on this.

Thanks, DP
 
hey stink, have you experimented with different on/off times of your sprayers? if so, what were the results? also, in your own opinion do u feel your aero/nft setup provides the best final result in regards to yield compared to ebb and flow? what made you do the aero/nft route anyways? THANKS for all the great info! Keep up the GREAT work!
 
Ok, pardon my slip, It was a mini NFT/aero flowering unit! I was just looking for the specifics on that particular system that he built from spare parts! I already have the cloner/veg systems and have followed this thread from the begining.:blsmoke:

Hey aero bros...im building!!!!

heres my new flower room,, its 8x8x8, i am gonna run 4 600 watt hps cool tubes, (starting with one)
and an exhaust up and out through the attic, and a passive intake on the lower wall inside.

anyone have any suggestions on where to run the duct for the lights?
Thers 2 windows on either side of the foom that i could run duct to,, is that necessary? or just suck air from the outside room?

That Looks awesome! I think you would be fine pulling air from the room outside for your lights, I'm also thinking of going with the 600's definetly gives you some more flexibility.

You may have some funk growing in your water. Change the water and add some Hygrozyme. It will take care of any funky stuff you may have growing in the water.

You have a timer right? Without a timer the water temps will get too hot.

Your room is looking great! Going with the 600W and adding more later is a good idea. You can have a lot more effective light spread. I would be way better off with 4-600Ws than I am with my 2-1000Ws.

I would pull the air from outside your room. It will help keep the smell down a little. Plus those fans sound like a 747 taking off when they are running!

I've never had to use a carbon filter before but the Skunk I'm running is stinking up the whole house! I may have to break down and run a filter.
