I’m not growing in RDWC anymore, it’s just a clay pellet media drip fed and recirculated. I should switch back but I have it set up this way and am too lazy to plumb everything back up.. I do still do them in collars sometimes, I just wait till they have a good handfull of roots.

You would start in a small collar, I place the tails in the slits, not the holes. You then take the big collars you have there, cut a hole shape the same size and just deep enough as the small neoprene puck so as once the seeds have grown tall enough and have a decent root system you can...

Ought to try starting them off just in the neoprene collars.. I have done it before with good result, had them sit in paper towel a bit longer so they had a nice long tail on them then popped them straight into neoprene collars and into the turbo clones.

Rooms coming along.. few more weeks yet I recon.. suppose I had better dial back the lights and co2 a bit soon. I fucked up my ec and made things too strong there for a bit as you can tell by the burnt edges. Don’t think it has upset them too much tho, mild stunting perhaps

What have you got your seedling in there?

Lovely, that sounds perfect

Anyone got any reading or video suggestions for story’s from old growers that grew big before everything became legal? Books, YouTube links, personal stories whatever..

Are you flipping from seed with these? Or close to it?

That looks neat as a pin! Well done!

Hey CP, was just having a read of this thread.. “ Fungus gnat experiment #569” thought the painters bags were an innovative idea.. think I’ll get some as a preventative measure for mine.. will also stop debris getting into my drain lines and blocking them.. win win

You going to take some more cuttings of the BHP before you flip them yeah? They are worth preserving I recon..

Sounds good to me bud.. 2 Scrogs on the go at the moment one organised and one not.

Just dim your light right down when you foliar feed, think cloudy overcast day for rain.. that way the light won’t be magnified through the droplets and burn spots on your leaves.. 1/2 and hour after feeding turn them back up.

Haha, I had just cleaned up in there.. it gets messy enough sometimes don’t you worry :blsmoke:

Pretty sure you can use whatever, probably cheaper from a gardening centre, just buffer it with some cal/mag before you use it.

Busy day today trying to wrangle the room I had much been ignoring into something useful.. dunno how it’ll go, I’ve been pretty rough and neglectful in there. The other room homeowner is going great!

Yeah man for sure, I wasn’t suggesting you should.. just that if I were to build another setup here I would probably go dwc. Autopilots sound like a great Idea. There is an Aussie bloke called “hoocho” on YouTube who does all sorts of budget systems for his outdoor hydro and he has his own auto...

Yeah everybody loves coco.. I’ve never tried it properly. Clay balls for now but if I could do it over I would probably go back and build a better rdwc system. I would much prefer to have no medium at all if I could manage it, aero is too finicky for my taste.. but rdwc.. aerated, nutrient rich...

Those are some impressive numbers

Please excuse me if this is a dumb question but I’m old and we didn’t have autos when I started. People tell me they are great and you can run the lights at 18/6 and they eat it up.. well, I’m looking at the comparison between a photo and an auto run side by side for the same amount of time and...
