Irish Boys Return Of The Inferno With The Spectra 180's

[colocowboy]

I hear the purps is some tasty sheezite!
Do you know whose it was? Several breeders are keeping those genes going including thseeds, bc bud depot, next gen, cali conn, reeferman, gage green, etc. Been thinking of that one personally. It's supposed to be some sticky grape tasting goodness.

Go purps! Everyone does blue dream so it's getting old. I'd like to see some purple hues under the leds! Congrats on the recent crop by the way, looks lovely!

to be honest i have no clue and sure the guys dose not either.lol. looks like fire i am just not the biggest fan of purple strains like grand daddy and stuff its all over here and got played out for me.lol

purps is the same over here every one has a purple strain or jack herer but not too much blue dream and the dream will yield allot more i am thinking from older purple strain grows.. but this purps strain sounds pretty good and might get it if i cant get something els.

i should have cloned the AfaGoo that shit is crazy fire.

 

[stoneyluv]

take a cutting of the afgooey now bro!!! you didn't chop the all yet right?

(yea, i still read your posts here to!hahaha)

 

[Jman305]

and more.lol

This shit right here, n****? This shit's called DEAF! You hit this twice... you can't hear SHIT! Awesome ass harvest, Irish! Killer green thumb, buddy.

Irish, second grow using ffof and have been watering with organic kelp and water at 6.5 ph. I will be watering with first nutes and wondering if you or anyone had any insite into what week of the ff regime I should jump into. They are clones and I have had them vegging for 4 weeks... Thanks and also, think I should add cal mag once a week - 1/2 of suggested amount ?

 

[Jman305]

thanks allot!!

i was thinking about 4 times a day, so every 3hrs in flower.

i am going to veg with a 20/4 light time so should i flood every 5hrs for 5x a day or is that too much for baby clones?

i will be 100% in hydroton

i will rinse the crap out of them..

check out these new air pots i got, i have no clue who makes them? but i think their going to rock for Hydro, very solid and will last forever.

If you're gonna ebb & grow, I'd really like to see what a light mover with these LED's could do. Maybe go up a step in wattage and only use two lights? One per row on a mover... Probably be some crazy crazyness!

Looks dank Irish nice job

lol. missed this post, wish i would have having a hell of a time finding new clones.

ive never used FF i really dont want to give bad advise, i would call them and ask.

i am either going to do flood and drain or a constent drip system? a really want to see what a few small pannel will do over the tray, but in the summer when its hot a light mover just might be in the works? i already have one

Looks dank Irish nice job

thanks buddy

 

[dontsmok]

hey dude are you from ireland? if yes.. please consider checking my blog(CHECK MY SIG) and see if the LED i am going to use are worth the try

thanks dude

Hey Irish,
I've been looking around at your plants and they all look exquisite. Good job! Well I was wondering if you would be giving out gram:watt:gallon(gallons of soil) ratio once your plants are dry? Anyhow, keep up the good work; your grows are always quite inspirational!
Sincerely,
ILove

i do not believe in grams per watt and feel its very unacurate and dont use it but i will post dry weight and anyone is welcome to use that system if they feel. its just not acurrate at all in my book too many things effect GPW. strain, CO2, temps, grow system, soil, hydro, strain, grower, nutes, environment just tons of things effect GPW.

i did not use soil but a peatmoss mix and each plant was in a 3gal pot

I've only ever seen a handful of consitent drips grows... I would think your rate of flow is the hardest part to dial in... making sure your drip hoses all drip the amount they say they do. That light mover would be a bomb thing to see. You think 2 of the 180 watt panels on a mover? or one 300 watt on one for a 4x4 tent with 4 plants?

Back on topic... really looking forward to that harvest weight. Any particular reason you used the 3 gal instead of the 5? Doesn't more root = more bud? Or is it not as necessary with these air pots due to root pruning?

P.S. I wanna go blind...

i got some flow adjusters for each drip line to adjust and even flow rate, lets hope it works?lol

last i heard GLH is only putting out 120w lights because he found out its best with his lights to run more smaller units instead of one big one and i agree with that. i like the smaller ones better because you get more foot print and less watts.

i went with 3gal pots and wish i would have done 2gal because the roots did not sir prune that much because i vegged so short. 1 gal per foot of plant. with air pots i think you want to run a size down for you get more air pruning.

awesome! that's really informative right three, irish. I was wondering? Are ebb & flo the same as a flood & drain? And whats the advantages/disadvantages between that and say something like bubbleponics? And ppm vs EC? Its my understanding that ppm effects EC but only if the soluable nutrient solution contains particles that conduct electricity. But does that mean that if your EC increses that you have also increased your ppm? And one last thing, is pH easier to maintain in soil, soiless, or hydro? I know theres no one "best" way to grow, but I would like to be able to dial in on as many aspects as possible. This seems like a lot of the front line growers read this so I figured here's a good a place as any to ask.

On a side note... how many more days you got left on the cure?

Mike promises to send me 130 (?) watt power supplies for my 180 V1's. Hopeful yet not optimistic it will fix the problems in the tent. I agree, in theory the lower watts may be better while keeping the footprint the same.

Hows the smoke man?

flood and drain is more of a tray or table and ebb and flow is the same thing but in buckets from what i understand? i brand new on hydro so dont know allot just stuff i have read in the past. PPM and EC is just a different conversion for different areas i believe?
ive heard PH is easier in soil because soil will buffer out things more but if a issue happens its easier to fix hydro because u can adjust the water and fix fast instead of adding lime and stuff to soil.

plants have not even cured still drying its a very slow dry witch i want and should take around 14 days so this Sat comming up maybe?

i know he sent a few out so he should send your out? i would keep on it bro the squeeky wheel gets the grease.

lower watts is the way for me thats for sure.

no smoke yet bro but cant wait looks crazy fire.

Flood and Drain aka Ebb & Flow are typically talking about tables. The bucket systems that flood the buckets are often referred to as Ebb & Grow. EC stands for Electrical Conductivity and is a measure of the salt content in the water basically. From that PPM is calculated, all meters are actually EC meters at their core. Anyways theres a few scales that all measure this. EC, PPM500, PPM700 and CF here's a chart showing how they all relate. And yeah PH is pretty ez to maintain with a table. I adjust every couple days in veg and hardly ever in flower, it stays very stable...but depends on your water, nute and ph up/down choice.

 

[Jman305]

thanks guys, that really helped a lot. what's the prefered EC for cannabis? I know it varies depending on strain genetics, but does anyone have a ball park they shoot for when they get a new strain? I mean, obviously listening to your plants is important in seeing how much they can handle. I saw a guy that had two different phenotypes of a plant and the ppm were about 150 difference. so... depending on the EC scale you use, thats pretty significant I would think?

 

[irishboy]

here is my new drip system. got the 6" halo drip rings that have 50 something holes. instead of spending $160 on a tray stand i went to the store and bought a 2'x4 table for $30.lol. everything ran real smooth. each ring has a flow adjuster to make the water even on all rings. here is some pics and also some of one of my buds thats not yet dry but getting their. i have 2x4" flat round air stones in the res with a 400GPH pump mixing the res and then the pump that runs the drippers, this system uses very little water also. have all 4 lights up.. the bad is my plants will be shorter since i lost head room but i wanted to start learning how to get shorter foot ball size buds
