2000w Purple Kush 106 Plant Ebb and Flow SOG

[DubsFan]

probably due to strain. this is a indica strain that stays short and squat and branches alot. what type of strain are you growing?

I was thining your was an indica. Mine is Dutch Passion White Widow. 60% sativa. She's a grower for sure.

My buddy has a G13 WW that is 60% indica and his are a few inches shorter than mine.

Has to be the strain.

Looks great dude.

I want to put three strains in my tray. My cloner buddy has DJ Short Grape Kush, my White Widow, then I might do some Green Crack. They are all hybrids so I'm thinking I'll be ok on plant height.

I was already thinking about 2 4x4's for my next set up.

I would love to do one strain like you are but I can't move that much weight of just one strain.

I told a fellow hydro grower about this set up you have. He calls it "Chandeliering."

clubs will take that much weight of one strain. especially if its top quality. they can move that in a few days. maybe less.

Like a chandelier. A center piece so to speak.

I agree the dispensaries would easily buy up 4lbs of one strain. My in with dispensaries is at the start up level. They all want many strains at the very start. After a 100k of tenant improvements they can't spring for 1-2p's of 30 strains. They want a qp or a half of each strain. As they grow so will I.

I'm a commercial real estate broker. I've helped more than one dispensary lease space. It's an easy in. I must be patient though.

hey bob i havent changed my res since my last change. which i think was when i switched to flower. im trying to go the whole grow without changing it. they seem to be doing ok. it went up to 2.6 a couple of days ago. but i filled up with ph'd water and brought it back down to 2.1. they seem to be doing ok. if i see any sign of stress or nute deficiency i will change it.

Firstly, Merry Christmas, kiddo.

Secondly, that's kinda funny - also noticed that my PPMs have been rising pretty good, but also haven't seen any deficiencies as of yet - like you, not changing it until I see a problem.

I haven't changed mine since ~November 7th, and don't plan on having to until I harvest and start my next crop.

BTW, plants are looking great

Subscribed. Very nice setup. You are definitely someone that I can learn from (currently have a 10K HPS setup).

Not to hijack this thread but one poster's comments about dispensaries only wanting 1/4-1/2 is kind of true.. and kind of not. But, in the SF Bay area there are at least a half a dozen ones that only buy over 1 lb blocks per strain. But most are full up now until sometime after the new year. After a year or so of going to them, one can get a decent size list of collectives to belong to and to take your extra medicine to.

Again, GREAT grow. Grats.

thanks. great to have you aboard. hopefully alot of people can learn something from my threads. and i know of a couple clubs in the bay that only take a lb or more. the ones in frisco will take qp's.

I cant help but be curious since im from a state that doesnt openly allow MM patients, you guys talk of selling weight to clubs or "dispensaries". I would imagine even being a patient that you cant freely walk around with lb's of weed. what is the regulation's set on in this aspect on patients or caregivers?

Yes you can walk in with Lbs of weed. Most clubs get up to ten or more vendors a day soliciting them.

i changed my res today. my EC kept jumping up way too high. when i checked it today it was upto 2.6. i was doing some research and i read that its good to change your res every 2 to 3 weeks because even though your ec might be ok the ladies might use more of one nutrient than the other and it will cause problems later on. there is no way for you to know exactly how much of any one thing there is in your nutrient soup so its just good to change it. dont know how true that is. but thats what i read. my leaves were also starting to yellow alot. and my last grow the leaves were dark green the whole way through. i dont know if its because i havent changed the res or what. my ec is now at 1.8 and PH is 5.5.

 

[don2009]

whats EC? I may don't know the slang or code

whats EC? I may don't know the slang or code

Electrical Conductivity (EC) is expressed in siemens per centimeter (s/cm) or milliseimens per centimeter(ms/cm). It can be determined with an inexpensive hand held meter. Nutrient ions have an electrical charge, a whole number, usually a positive or negative 1, 2, or 3. EC is a measurement of all those charges in the solution that conduct electricity. The greater the quantity of nutrient ions in a solution, the more electricity that will be conducted by that solution. A material has a conductance of one siemens if one ampere of electric current can pass through it per volt of electric potential. It is the reciprocal of the ohm, the standard unit of electrical resistance. A siemens is also called a mho (ohm backwards).

Thanks +rep
So too much nutri will cause lots of electical charge(ohm) I see cool. Thanks

independent cells have their own EC value as well not just the nutes , your media, and your water for example

 

[don2009]

Ok I was thinking hydro style with the nutes. Water also may carry EC, And other independent cell? Whats the cure for that?

Yeah, my EC keeps on trying to jump on me as well, but my plants are drinking mucho water right now - pH is still staying locked in at 5.8, although it's started to drift up .1 every couple of days.

Aware that plants use nutes in differing amounts, but truthfully, my plants are showing no ill effects at all - the ones on the perimeter are a fairly lush green still - the only plants having issues at all are the shorter ones which are ~8" from the light of my 1000W, so they're getting light-bleached pretty good (nothing I can really do about that, unfortunately).

As far as the nutes go, though, they seem to be fine - packing on weight (and stink).

What type of medium is your rockwool sitting on? Hydroton?

I'm pretty sure he has them on a coco mat.

yeah barron is right. i have them on a coco mat.
