Garage grow

[Rusty Crutch]

I have a 15 litre reservoir with a 700L/H pump and an airator. Its warm enough here still not to need the water heater but I will have to use it in a few weeks as its already autumn.

Nice looking good! Pinch them bitches ! help alleviate that stretch ! +rep

 

[Rusty Crutch]

I'll pinch them now. I've been thinking about using Bonsai Bud on them too. When is the best time to pinch them? They went on 12/12 about 3-4 days ago, is it too late?

I just pinched all the plants except the mother who has far too many tips growing as it is. The juice was red this time, its usually clear. I made them bleed.

red juice thats werid i thought it was always clear

So did I. On a couple of plants the juice sprayed out when I cut it. None of the leaves or stem looks red or purple. Green all the way.

All the sap had dried so I hacked a limb off the mother. Sorry about the quality. I've lost the pc cable to the camera so I have to use either a cam corder or my phone.

[Rusty Crutch]

Thanks for the rep dude. I found another mantis today. Its been eating gnats like peanuts. Hopefully I can find a few more before winter when they die off.

I've pinched all but 1 of the plants today. I watched about 15 videos on you tube about supercropping so I pinched the main tip and some of the lower ones.

 

[Rusty Crutch]

The stems aren't really broken. I've just crushed the inner layer and twisted them over and around. I'm definitely going to get a few more air pumps next pay and set up some bubbles for the three homeless guys.

Nice grow man u got ur self a little jungle going on haha how many plants u growing?

 

[don2009]

hey are you using tap water or ro, distilled water ? I'm using tap water, wondering if that is bad. I have a air filter, IDK.

 

[Rusty Crutch]

I've got 9 at the moment but I'm going to thin the numbers down to 6 or 7. I use tap water on them, I usually age the water for a day first to get all the chlorine out of it. I try to keep the PH between 5.8 and 6.5 and my EC between 1000 and 1400. I flush them every 10 days or so depending on how dirty the water is.

 

[Rusty Crutch]

After a day most of the plants I pinched yesterday have fixed the wound and bent back towards the light. I'll pinch them all again in a few days. I think that the plants actually enjoyed it. I can't believe how quickly the plants repaired the damage.

Thanks bro Im on the same track as you. Are you using any co2 for the grow?

 

[Rusty Crutch]

No, not this time. To do it properly it costs thousands of dollars and a sealed room. My garage has a constant sea breeze blowing through it so I don't think its really an option. I had a friend who grew with CO2 in a trailer. He siliconed the windows shut and made it air-tight. It was an awesome setup, He'd ripped out all the inside and custom built the interior for growing. If I bought a closet for DWC I could try it though. It would be cool to see the difference between normal hydro and a CO2/DWC system.

I've got a house inspection tomorrow
so I've had to pack everything up.
Set up

Going

Gone

 

[Rusty Crutch]

It looks fully legit. Hopefully they come early so I can get them back under lights asap. I found the photo of the mother plant the day I found that she'd shot roots. No wonder I kept her.

Here is another pic I found of one of my old "friends" Greg. He was my house-mate's friend too. After I started Growing weed he started coming around to my house every fucking day. One of us would tell him that we need a quiet night to ourselves so he'd just knock on the other persons door and hang out in another part of the house. I had to tell him to fuck off eventually. Fuck freeloading friends.
