Well i got my crates done now i just gotta fertilize my clones and get them off and running, I'm scared though lol i hope i don't kill my future mother...
Is this your first attempt at cloning?Well i got my crates done now i just gotta fertilize my clones and get them off and running, I'm scared though lol i hope i don't kill my future mother...
I'm not worried, U got this!!! Just make sure to feed according to what your plants are telling you. Start light nutes and when they ask for more, adjust as needed. Looking like your just about ready. Just need the ladies the get some growth on them. I would recommend after this show to build a pvc frame (wood tends to soak up water (get spongy) and can cause mold, or so i've heard). Also buy some plastic snow fencing or similar, rather than metal chicken wire. Aside from that it looks great!! I'm no expert in the materials for a ScroG screen, just read different peoples opinions. Those materials would also be lighter and could be more managable to move around n such.Well i got my crates done now i just gotta fertilize my clones and get them off and running, I'm scared though lol i hope i don't kill my future mother...
Wattsaver was giving it away the whole time..."who was that masked man".....nobody was even questioning the new "stranger"......OK ... I just got a message from one of our regulars about this new stranger account 'World.Of.Hempy'.
... To set minds at rest, It was 'I' who set up the account. ... That way its linked to our community thread.
Sorry, I thought we all new this.
I love that chick on the bag.....it's gotta be good!Can't wait to try my CoCo Hempys.
Dude in the shop had 3 brands. This one looked the best to my untrained eye.
Atami - CoCo Substrate
I think a coat of white won't really reflect that much light or heat, if any. All the commercially available DWC setups are black anyhow. ... You're going to have a canopy of green over them when they get a decent size.Sprayed the buckets today with a wood/plastic mat black paint, should i do another layer of black then white? or is 1 layer plenty.
Edit: i plan on doing a layer of white either way to reflect heat/light

Yeah, A busty chick on a bag of anything will increase sales by 50%, even if she is a cartoon.I love that chick on the bag.....it's gotta be good!
Rather do white anyway since i already got the cans of it.. wouldnt hurt rightI think a coat of white won't really reflect that much light or heat, if any. All the commercially available DWC setups are black anyhow. ... You're going to have a canopy of green over them when they get a decent size.
I would just give a few coats of black myself. You can test how light-proof they are by shining a flashlight inside.

It might be OK. It might be over-engineering the thing.Could i use this on the inside of the pot to reduce any blockage? The only thing im concerned about with the hempy pot is blockage of the perlite... Wutcha think?

So the idea is a 1inch hole 2 inches up correct? and a mesh screen on the inside... im okay with over engineering something to reduce any problems.It might be OK. It might be over-engineering the thing.
Ive not experienced blocked Hempy's.... but then again, Ive not done Hempys larger than 2L.
I have cloned before and the clones have already taken root i reveged some clippings from my first harvest, they are sitting in solo hempy cups right now waiting for nutes as i said i am just a bit fearful about fucking them up and chloramine possibly being in my water so i am procrastinating about giving them nutes.Is this your first attempt at cloning?
Whats the plan?
Ive thought about using pvc to build the frames out of, the main reason i didn't go with it is because i wanted the crates to be very structurally sound since i will be pulling them out and rotating them pretty often, every few days to once a week i will rotate them so that each of the plants gets its day in the sun, i also wondered if the wood would promote mold growth but i have covered the area most likely to have water spilled on it in plastic, i guess we will just have to wait and see it would be nice to have lighter weight crates but as i said I'm just not sure the pvc would be strong enough to be picked up by the top of the frame regularly.I'm not worried, U got this!!!

10l pure perlite mate, had a change of heart and have well flushed through them with h202 bath hopefully they will recover, just a thought it could have been the rainwater i was using from the water butt, have switched to tap water now,.Usually I associate root-rot with DWC systems, I think you may just have been unlucky.
I forget, what substrate and bucket size are you using Welsh?
No Need. I run Cups, 2 Liters, 1 Gallon and 3 Gallons and never have a blockage problem. If I think I might, I simply poke it with a Toothpick and all is good again. My holes are anywhere from 1/8" (Styrofoam cups) 1/4" to 1/2" and do not use a Screen. For the first couple of watering's you will have a little perlite make a run for it, but after that, its pretty smooth sailing.So the idea is a 1inch hole 2 inches up correct? and a mesh screen on the inside... im okay with over engineering something to reduce any problems.
Hey moebius can we post pictures of our grow in the link to your hempy thread a long with the links?
