Maybe I'll switch to soil growing at home so I don't need to mix up hydroponic solutions. That
and i should grab a bigger reservoir so i can mix bigger solutions and actually get some runoff.

Or go hydro :). I spend 1 hour a week changing my rez and top off once in the middle with water and that's IT. I know your the natural guy and all, but if your just offloading it anyhow... Now if I could just figure out how to not have to wash hydroton and condition RW life would be real ez. Maybe you could do coco in smartpots in a flood table? idk RaiderFan did it with pretty good results...guess u could do organic hydro too but I think we all know what a bitch that is to get right.

I know, my neighbor runs an Ebb+Grow system. It just runs with no effort.

Only reason I don't like the idea of Ebb + Flo is the movement of salts from the bottom up.
I see so much potential for salt build ups. I am much more inclined to drip systems. Salts
are more readily washed away in drip, rather than possibly being elevated.

Organic hydro? What a mess, that's what coco is for. Idk, we'll see!

Build a bigass coco bed bro, thats what Ill be doing next time. Im gonna make like a 4 X 10 bed for both sides of my room and fill them with coco, have a drain for some runoff if you prefer in the bed. Was reading a few posts on the farm about Obsoul33t's coco smart beds that he's made. He will water like once or twice a week and says it cant be simpler. Just a thought, like I said that's what Ill be phasing me room into so I can like leave my house for more than a day lol. Everythings looking great man!

I will be moving in a 600Watt LED if I continue the grow, so I'll be doing another reconstruction.

A representative of a company came and gave us a unit to to test. Looks pretty nice.

So I should be up to 2400 Watts of light shortly.

I'll be moving in a 4x8 tray. With the new room design I should have enough room to store a reservoir
in the room and have an irrigation setup.

That setup you describe is similar to my buddy up in the FC, he is using 4x8 trays filled with coco. Similar watering schedule, once maybe twice a week. He got Smart-Pot to custom make him a huge Smart-Pot liner for each of his 4x8 trays. I haven't been able to take a tour, but I have seen pictures and hope to soon visit.

I can't believe I just noticed and found the house thread Shrub's!!! Well I am here now my friend:twisted: I was wondering why just today your house grow was never mentioned anymore! Finally looked at your sig (was actually the "safe access" which caught my eye???) Only got this far into reading before I had to write something:lol: So please my friend forgive my ol burnt out hippy ass!:eyesmoke:

Xi you ought to see it in person...definitely the clean lab aspect...biggest thing though is the plants are happy and cheerfully light bathing....just great positive energy you know? And lemme tell you my lil bud here Shrub's knows his shit and is an awesome dude. smart but not arrogant, laid back real and just must be the source of the pos energy witnessed in the growroom... And his weed is BAD FUCKING ASS!!! MAYBE HE CAN TELL YOU BUT I WAS SO BLOW'D I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT STRAINS WE SMOKED!!!

And Shrub's you tired of the "how come your lights are so high?" comments questions yet?? LOL...take care lil buddy ...gonna give u call sometimes soon

Ha, what up Lumi, yea bro, if I had a nickle for everytime somone told me my lights
are too far from my plants, not only would I have a shit load of nickles, but I would still
have a ton of weed every harvest..

You were smokin on the Chem Sour Diesel when you were visiting, voted as the Bud of The Month
for the month of January here in Boulder.

More pics soon, unfortunately, theyre not as healthy as when you stopped over. The warehouse has
taken over my life.

Shrubs, have you toyed with the idea of just doing a few larger container, organic soil-based plants with an added organic concentrate, so watering is limited? The warehouse you have is nothing short of spectacular, so I can imagine that coming home to take care of another garden is quite wearing. I was just reading the updates of both your warehouse journal and this thread and got to thinking...an organic soil could be awesome for you so you only have to check on things, and water like every 3-5 days, so you could focus on your crown jewel, the warehouse. I dunno, just trying to help ya out.

Thank you for your numerous posts and journals, they are both enlightening and inspiring. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to your next posts.

Thats exactly what I was mentioning a few posts ago. It would be so much easier.

I definitely appreciate the affirmation.

ok wow, very nice threads you have here, a real contribution to riu and the colorado mmj scene. :clap:

i am am also an ally to coco, mixing my coir 40/60 with coco husk chunks, with the coco husk chunks already prewashed and inoculated. often times i cut the coco w/ sunshine #4 if watering multiple times per day is desired. other times i use more soil base to water less frequently. 5 gallon pots are standard in my garden from the moment each cut has rooted, smart pots being preferred.

automated watering with drip tubing is the next step when it comes to watering larger set ups or above average plant numbers. (though i know a many who will never part with their watering wands.) can't wait to see what you come up with for the warehouse drip wise.

i didn't see the specs (sqft) listed for your home grow space? also curious if you make any of your own fertilizers or compost teas, at home or the shop?

keep it up, it's inspiring others!

Thanks!

I am having an impossible time moving away from hand watering. (I'm still doing it)

My home grow is in a spare office room of my condo. It's roughly 7'x8'x8'. I have a good amount of space
to work in front of the plants. I'm sure I lose a little light due to the size of the room but it's just so nice.

Alrighty, I'm back.

The room has been completely sterilized today. I picked up 20 White Fire OG Kush to work with for this round.
Not going to mess with a multiple strain setup right now. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a bag of perlite because
I'm running half of my crop in 100% CANNA coco and half in 2/3's coco 1/3 perlite. Seeing if the perlite will lower
my EC and allow me run it a little higher. Got some pics of the setup all cleaned up. New fans new pots new
everything this time around.

Sweet to see your back. Wish I had some fire genetics like that to work with, gettin a little sick of beans. Nothing like the reliability of a sick clone. I'll be tuned for another awesome show.
