well!!! you're stocked up for a while!

 

[GypsyBush]

Jesus Gypsy, ANOTHER grow room!!!!

I like your style. I'm so hung up on getting another 400 and you're talking about another 4 lamp room!!!

Calm down there boy...

I WISH!!! hahaha...

But the whole reason for going to trees is that I want to reduce the number of plants... and hopefully my paranoia too...

300+ just sounds so much worse than 3 or 4...

Plus I am bored with SOG...

IT WORKS!!!!

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE SOG...

But I am scared.. and trees have a bit more personality too...

Not to mention that I want to start playing with grafting...

Can you imagine ..???

9x11 room... 2400w... 7 strains.. 4 plants...

I can.. now let's see if I can pull this off without interrupting the rotation...

I still want to harvest at least every 2 weeks...

So the SOG will come down as it finishes... one light at a time...

Gonna have to re-structure the cloning situation too...

Prolly trade in my t5 for a HPS for veg... I like a bit of stretch... especially since I'm "single cola-ing" every branch... node spacing is irrelevant...

We'll see...

I'm stepping out of my sand box...

MBlaze thinks I should get at least a pound per 600 to start...

So that is not too far off my numbers... he just got 1.5lbs per light on his last grow...

So Yeah...

Not ANOTHER 4 lights... just another room...

4 extra lights would NOT appease my worries....

well!!! you're stocked up for a while!

Should be good...

You use the stuff?

Gypsy in your tribute to MBlaze[/quote

It's a tribute to POT...

MBlaze is my coach...

And THANKS! for posting your comments here...

I promise to do my best to respond to everyone...



I have considered it...

But it would mean a lot of extras expenses...

New coco (don't got none), new coco nutes, new pathogen control (h2o2 breaks coco down pretty fast)



What type of set up did you have with each?

Currently just two gallon pots with cann coco / perlite 75 - 25 %ish ...

My first shot at growing I went with a aero setup with two plants, I eventually dripped from the top as well and built up a powdery looking substance (mold?) just very lightly but it did leach onto the roots in the last two days. And as a personal shot I was always making a mess with the hydro no matter what.



Can you specify the reason?

The canna for me has been much easier and forgiving. It holds a consistant PH, its hard to over water, on the soil side it vegged better and has flowered twice as good as a soil plant Ive grown. Ive also enjoyed some straight OG kush grown in it and the smoke was the best ever.


So is MBlaze...



Worth a whole dollar in the right hands...

Thanks Bro!



What do you mean furious?

Like 6x a day for 15 minutes on a timer furious..? (I do that to all my plants)

Tru if you had a res you could just flood the bucket on a timer. But the other day I put the canna "coco" model nutes in a 5 gal res with a bubbler and it got real chalky and mudded out the bottom of the res so maybe you would have to drain to waist. I know they do make a hydroponic only type of nute that will probably work for the res flood setup. Also just thought of this... that tree is gonna have pounds of top heavy weight do you think the hydro will hold the roots stable?

Cheers Bro...

I know its kind of a shame for my little two grow experience to go poppin off at my mouth so Ill usually stick to my own journal around here and read about others projects goin on. But I do feel confident that coco is one of the best mediums to grow in. I have 4 clones dedicated to this right now as well. Im going to do a 18 gallon tub, and 3) 5 gallon buckets. Theres 13 gals of coco in a 50L bag. One bag is about 20 - 21 dollars. Im not sure what a hydrotron bag that size would cost but I think you have enough already. So if you do go with hyrotron, we will be able to have a slight comparison.


Oh yea and as for the H202, havent used it yet. But thats for all my grows. Canna has some youtube vids that may help you out with answering your questions there.


I also know a guy that reuses his canna for 3 - 4 grows and gets increased yeild each time until he swaps to new.

Your new grow room is gonna be sick man. I wish you trees and hope you dont mind I stick around.

Hi Lennard...

Welcome...

Can I ask you to try posting that again... but in a different format?

I'm not even sure who is saying what there... sorry.. I know I'm not that bright...

 

[GypsyBush]

I meant that dude...

Please post your comments... I do wanna hear what you have to say...

Just help a brother out... I'm pretty stoned man...

 

[GypsyBush]

So.. I have gone full circle...

Went from just a basic basic bloom nute...

To a complex Fox Farm schedule of Organics... and Solubles...

Then Humbolt... Bloom and Micro...

And now I am back to the very first nutrient regimen I had... which started in the AG, and didn't change until a few months go, when I could no longer find H2O2...

So here you go...

The stuff that I have had the best luck with so far...

Gypsy's ENTIRE collection of stuff that goes on the res...

...


suspense...

...

Drum roll...

...

 

[krakennkenji]

Wow, so you're really gonna phase out the SOG and go for just trees? Gonna be an adventure man! You'll pull it off though, no doubt.

Grafting? 4 plants, 7 strains? You just blew my mind dude!

And I still vote Cali, though BC is also awesome.

And on the topic of feeling more comfortable with a few trees as opposed to a shitload of lollies, I just found this on NORML: Possession of less than 25 plants is protected under the Alaska Constitution’s right to privacy (See Ravin v. Alaska). Possession of 25 or more marijuana plants is “Misconduct involving a controlled substance in the fourth degree” and is punishable by a fine of up to $50,000 or five years in prison.

 

[krakennkenji]

WOW! Seriously, just the bloom nutes and the H2O2? What about for feeding your mother plants?

 

[GypsyBush]

Yeah... I know where I live...

So you see the reason for my constant paranoia...

We'll see how it goes...

I'm a dumbass..

and I have never done anything like this before..

So we'll see...

I'll try one with one light and see how it goes...

But I have a fleeting feeling that this is going to be a GREAT GROW...

And yeah... what I want and what I am going to do are 2 different things...

I am going to do this like I learned SOG...

I'll just change my sig to "I found myself in a Forest"...

I am following MBlaze ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTEEN %

No outside anything.. not even from me...

If MBlaze does not approve I will not do it...

Just like it was with Al...

And we all know how that worked out...

So yeah.. stick around...

I'll be happy to pull 0.7 g/w on this one...

But ideally... I would like to match my high mark of 1.8 g/w on the SOG... of course..

Now I need to learn how to veg right... training and pruning are very important and can make or break your yields...

Well, I'm busy..

But I am around...

 

[GypsyBush]

Same brand's GROW JUICE...

[krakennkenji]

Yeah man we all gotta be paranoid. God forbid we smoke that mother-nature.

1.8 g/w sounds really good to me. How much is blaze getting per W off his trees?

 

[GypsyBush]

same...

he veges a little longer that I do even my moms...

But he starts his grow with 1 light, then 2 then 3 and 4..

So it's a wash really...

Same effective efficiency...

Nice huh?!

Just think...

He said this grow was ok...

Run these numbers real quick...

2400w 2 plants 17 pounds of wet bud...

I'll repeat so you don;t think I fucked up


2 plants...

17 punds of wet bud...

and that is not counting the third plant that I don't know the weight that was in the same room...

You're looking at about 5 to 6 pounds of dry bud from 3 plants.. pretty good...

 

[krakennkenji]

Fuck yeah nice!

And I really like your 1 nute method.

After reading through all kinds of crazy shit and getting carried away I've realized that in the end I'm all about keeping it simple. Less shit for me to fuck up... and less work, which is never a bad thing.

 

[GypsyBush]

yup yup...

BANG ON BRO!!!

s i m p l e is real nice...

 

[krakennkenji]

And I hope you don't mind me posting these on your thread.... just wanted to show you what the AK that I'll be visiting looks like.

Two of the pics are from the folks' front porch (one featuring their little jack russel terrier, who absolutely loves it up there) and one is from the road up to their place. Looking at them now has me excited

 

[drifter1978]

hey gypsy good luck on your tree grow, hope you can emulate mblaze with those giants of his.

its a shame you didnt get an a +b coco nute formula works really well.

and also did i get it right when i read your post about your water feeders come up thru the bottom of your pot?

i also run coco and i run my feeders around the top of my pot just have a T section to link hose from pump to a round feeder and then it drains right thru the whole mix.

check my link if i didnt explain it very well
just a suggestion

 

[GypsyBush]

Not at all Kenji..

This is our hang out...

and those are some beautiful shots!! nice dog too

Have GREAT TIME!!

 

[purpdaddy]

damn kenji that sum beautiful scenery and looks like a wonderful place to live.

 

[GypsyBush]

hey gypsy good luck on your tree grow, hope you can emulate mblaze with those giants of his.

Cheers Bro!!!

and welcome to our "lair"...

its a shame you didnt get an a +b coco nute formula works really well.

I've just heard of a lot of problems with coco and recirculating systems... I guess it deteriorates and may clog the pump, causing failure..

Plus I am very familiar with hydroton.. and I kinda like running an inorganic op...

and also did i get it right when i read your post about your water feeders come up thru the bottom of your pot?

I'm about to go make it now...

I am planning on feeding a hose through the bottom... and spiraling it up to the top...

holes all over the hose disperse the solution.. and there is a plug at the end...

pretty simple... really... and then it just drains back into the res through small holes in the bottom..

i also run coco and i run my feeders around the top of my pot just have a T section to link hose from pump to a round feeder and then it drains right thru the whole mix.

I can see that...

But I got this whole thing planned and got the big water pump to match it...

It will be a SQUIRT sistem..

check my link if i didnt explain it very well
just a suggestion

Bro.. I'm supposedly working on the op right now...

But I will check it out later...

Hope you stick around...

Cheers!!!
