Yes I do let the rez dry between waterings. I use Osmocote for nutes, just put it in while building the bucket and then just water with ph adjusted water with some cal/mag. So are you using Veg/Bloom for soft water? I used it on an outdoor plant for awhile last summer and I still had to add...

First off, when you say SOFT water do you mean that it has been through a water softener, or it just has a low mineral content coming out of the tap. If it's softened water then that is your problem. If not then I'm willing to bet you have cal deficiency, this will hinder the uptake of N. If...

@ Nizza - When using coco the rule of thumb is to fill the Rez with perlite, due to the weight of saturated coir in the rez on the roots. There isn't a need to cut the coco above the rez. I'm currently using a mix of equal amounts of coco coir, coco chunk, & perlite, from top to bottom 1st...

Thanks for the update, and best of luck with the hempy, they are pretty simple. If interested I posted an update HERE

Photos were on D-25 today is 4wks. For boosters I use Cha-Ching & KoolBloom dry. I was planning on running a base line grow with the new medium, just to see how it does. I can be THE worst enemy in the grow rm when I start playin' mad scientist. Shame you can't make the Cup. 1st time ever in...

Been quiet at the house today, lost cable, internet, & phone about 4hrs ago, and the power was out for 1 1/2 hrs during that period. Here's some shots from a few days back, day 25 the smart pots are sorely behind, at least a ft shorter than the hard buckets. Here's the Maui Thunder, just put...

@ Nizza the only draw back I can foresee is that you will end up with a very small rez. the bubble up is only about an 1 1/2" above the bottom and the little dome eats up about 1/2 that space. And if you can't water more than once a day you could have a problem when they really get kicking.

To me they are aging but ahead of schedule, the one in the back is heading to a lockout, (or is it just drooping during lights out) so it's either ph or cal/mag. Try adding some cal/mag just 4ml/gal to feed. If this is the prob U will see a change if not it's not enough to harm. If you could...

Haven't caught up with the thread, but you can use soil nutes, what do you have in mind?

Your tent be full now!!!!! It'll be bulging in 4wks.

Hey Moe, you've broke down quite a few prel/verm bottles, what have you seen in root mass in the upper 2" (5cm) of the medium? In the ones I've done I didn't see the heavy root mass start till around the 2" mark. And the roots got scarcer from there on up. Anyone else who has done some break...

No coincidence, IMO when growing in perlite the soil cap creates a better air / moisture environment within the perlite. Keep us posted as your grow proceeds.

All this talk of hash oil made me go out and do something about it. !!!!!!THIS IS AN OUTDOOR SPORT ONLY!!!!!! 1st of 3 piles of bud Can full 35 grams later. Ready to go :lol: 2 cans of vector, and a chilled pyrex pan (a chilled pan slows the butane boiling and reduces splatter) Cans...

If you are going to be going out in soil, then get a small pot like 3" or a disposable plastic cup and cut a couple of holes on the bottom edge, and transplant with the rockwool, don't try to take it out. And in the future if growing in soil just start them in soil, it's the easiest way to start...

There is only one grade of plastic pipe that is ok to use with butane, it's CPVC, it's the same plastic they use in the honey bee extractor. Copper is not a good choice either, it leaches certain metal compounds when exposed to butane. I'd only recommend stainless, brass, or glass, and the best...

Got warm here today also, rinsed out a winter's worth of perlite today. Almost got to 60 (15C)

I tried this mix so I could run the same medium from bottom of bucket to top, no perlite rez with coco top. The coco chunk is really neat shit and at $4/brick compared to $14 for the coir. I'm thinking of buying some of this...

I hear a lot of talk about altitude, has anyone here had any dealings with Herbies?

I'm going to interject, this is what seen. 1st a 5gal bucket is just too big to be efficient, especially with a larger rez. I've tried them and had a gallon soil core (big plant wanted 1/2lb) to start with and it took way too long to hit the rez and was way too much work, and didn't hit the...

@ greenwarrior321.......... When I look at your ill clones it's looks to me to be more of a rot than a def. So I'm thinking more of a fungus or bacteria. This is why I gave up on active hydro, after several grows my bubble lines and pumps were just transferring disease. If I were you I'd rip...
