I started this post for several reasons. First and foremost, i,m on my 4th grow now and i,m smart enough to know that i still know very little about growing the world class stuff that alot of you grow on the site. I'm looking for any comments good or bad. Or maybe some rep if you like what you see. I'm gonna be givin it out to anyone with with a real response good or bad. Everything i know i learned from RIU so i value all of your oppinions.
Got 11 pics for ya. And before you ask yes, thats a hoody im usin as a muffler on my fan. It works pretty well, there was alot of noise comin out of that thing. I have 2 600 watt mh/hps lights with some pretty cool reflectors that i found on ebay. The fan is a 166 cfm inline duct fan from Activair i believe in a 8'L x 5"D x 7' Tall panda filmed sealed room. I think my hydro is a cross between nft and ebb & flow. its like the 4"fencepost aeroponics design but i just have water running continuously. Get bigger fencepost or roundpipe because theres not enough room for roots. there matted tight and all the way across almost from one end to the other in one solid root mass. I had to cut through them with heavy scissors to remove males. And taproots have grown through the sides of the 3" netcups and are damming the channel the water was taking along the sides of the posts over the roots. Other than that it seems like a great system and it looks like it works. I'm lookin forward to any ideas or thoughts anyone has to make it better.
The only plant problems that i really have are some old stuff from takin nitrogen away too quick i think and some heat/dehydration on the tops. I'm pretty sure i included pics of everything im describing. There are 3 time periods in the tent. the tallest are origionals, the real bushy ones replaced males and a couple that died while i was out of town workin, and the smallest(my girlfriend calls (the 'lil happy plant) was just put in cuz i couldn't see killin it. Glad i didnt. Its a pretty little thing! They are all 21-28 days into 12/12. Im using cns17 trio along with cal-mag and floralicious plus(i swear by the stuff) my flowering is:
275ml ripe
75-100 ml cal-mag +
3 tbsp floralicious +
In veg i ppm'd around 700 and moved to 1000 after calyxes started to form. their drinking between 4 & 5 gallons of water a day i think and eating about 70 ppm over a 24 hour period. If that can really be measured accurately. I just ppm avery day as soon as the lights come on. There flushing through tonight and i will re-nute them tomarrow. I do two rez changes a week to keep ph and ppm stability in my 20 gallon rez with 4-4inch airstones and a 4 post airpump. i think the rez a little small for this size system. Oh, i included a pic of my mutant leaf i found a couple days ago. Anyone know anything about that? Like i said i more than welcome any comments questions or criticism so let her rip...Ill also be posting harvest pics and wet weights if u guys are interested....lemme know..appreciate it guys....
