stelthy, Next time you do a setup like this can you please take pics and show a step by step on how your doing it. That looks just lovely.
Hi dude I have :) :) I added a LINK a few pages back... I'll add it again :) !! I'll post the LINK to where I start the latest grow (pic above) :) Its still an active thread so feel free to leave comments on it etc..



https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/320402-stelthys-600w-hps-project-new-51.html



The above LINK is at pretty much starting point of my latest "Royale-Haze Grow", and it 'IS' pretty much a step by step walk through with pics... In fact if you go further back and start from page 1, I show everything from the moment I took over the Cab. When it originally belonged to my Mrs! She lost a bet and I swapped wardrobes with her :) .. (she was cool about it though!!) and from that point on..


"EVERYTHING IS STEP BY STEP WITH PICS !!!"



Its a huge thread and will take you a good few joints to get through, but 99% of people have enjoyed my thread - and the lengthy read :) :) :) and I have added as much detail as possible..

I really hope a few of you DO decided to at least flick through my thread, alot of hard work and dedication is in there :) - STELTHY :leaf:

I was already having a look at that. I`d like to know more on the topping part and the training.



























Sorry for so many pics..... They say "pictures are better than a thousand words"..... The above pics show how I trained her,and if ya'll read through my thread it will tell you at what height I 'Topped' etc etc.. As far as 'Topping' goes... Every couple of weeks I just pinched the tops of every available new set of leaves no matter whether they were at the top, middle or bottom of the stem/s

Then I'd wait another couple of weeks and do the same again.... and again.... and again :) :) all the while tucking the new growth under the screen, until the screen was 3/4 full then I flipped the lighting to 12/12 and continued to tuck 'the-stretch' under the rest of the screen...

Then the canopy was a bit un-even.. So! .... I 'super-cropped' only the tallest stems and then LST'd them to get the whole canopy level...


And thats pretty much it :) and about a week or so ago I swapped the 250W MH/HPS over for my new 400W DigiLux Dual Spec lamp and continued to run the (Blue Spec) Cfl's (Side lighting) and my UV-B bar lamp for THC gains !!


'Of course I do go into more detail on all the above aspect's/pics but I have already added more than a few pics and you all already have a LINK I posted up if ya wanna find out more etc' :)



Hope ya don't mind I added so many pics?! - STELTHY :leaf:

ok, all jokes aside I would say it is a very good genetic trait.

Hairs on plants are used for many different things, as well as the trichomes with glandular heads, hairs are used for protection, to retain moisture, among other things. Heres a usefull little list of Hairy terms....

ciliate: fringed with hairs on the margin
clavate: club-shaped (big at one end)
downy: with very short, weak, soft hairs
echinate: with stout, blunt prickles
ensiform: sword-shaped
glabrous: without hairs
hirsute: with rough hairs
hirtellous: like hirsute but with smaller or more diffuse hairs
hispid: with stiff, bristly hairs
hispidulous: like hispid but with smaller or more diffuse hairs
hoary: closely covered with a white or whitish hairiness
indumentum: a heavy covering or hairiness
lanuginose: woolly or cottony
lanulose: wooly with very short hairs
mucro: a short and abruptly sharp or spiny tip
mucronate: ending with a mucro
pilose: shaggy with soft hairs
plumose: feathery, like the pappus hairs of some composites

You forgot to add:

helmety: moist strands bent at odd angles and pointing all akimbo as if it had never taken a shower or heard of shampoo

Amazing list, D :-)
I had a busy couple of days getting my computer/growbox room better situated for space, and am pretty beat.
But, some good news is that I'll be able to buy my Akai MPK61 midi keyboard on December 8th, so am very stoked about that!
I will, soon there after, be bothering the 600 with my trite musical frivolities via the wonders of youtube, so prepare accordingly.
;-)

Back is really sore from over doing things yesterday, so I'm off to sleep early (2:51am here).
I hope everyone's Tuesday is a good one!
Peace

Took a little drive to my new hydro shop yesterday and finally broke down and bought some bat guano which brings me to this question. I see the directions on the bag call for a feeding once a week. For those who use guano, do you go with a once a week feeding and is it ok to throw the guano directly into water or does it need to be contained in some kind of mesh stocking and hung in the bucket to keep the guano out of the water?

Hey bass here is a bubble cloner that's basically a DWC in a 3 gallon bucket. All you need is a bucket, preferably a 5 gallon one. A good air stone fastened to the bottom with some marine grade silicone. Scuff the bottom of the bucket and stone for good adhesion. You don't want it to come loose because it won't lay flat. You can get some tubing a barbed elbow and a grommet from Lowes if you want a water level indicator. As you can see I got a few 2" holes drilled out for my neoprene inserts that holds my cuttings in place. Just replace that with (depending what size you want to work with) a 4 to 6 inch hole for a net pot. Then you place the net pot in the hole you cut out and fill with hydroton. Then fill your bucket with water so it's about an inch just below the net pot. The bubbles from the air stone will pop on the surface of the water to keep your hydroton constantly moist.

If you prefer to use a tote it works the same way. Just remember you'll want to use a couple of air stones. More bubbles equals happy roots.

I use to grow DWC in 5 gallon buckets and I loved the results but it just got to time consuming for me. You have to check pH levels every day and adjust accordingly. Also you'll have to change your res every 7 to 10 days and watch you PPM levels.

Anyway I hope this gives you some idea how deep water culture works.

i just make a litre bottle up of 42g guano 1 ltr water and shake it up and dose it out in 50ml portions into the feed im feeding. I only tend to use it if they plants are just starting to bud or if they look like they need extra N.

Here's a couple of pics of the cheesus i cut last night before the rot took any more




You can see part of the 1 cola has been savaged, not sure of what to do with the mouldy bud, either make oil or butter what you guys think?
