OMG! tobacco, cool! I don't know that has ever really been discussed. tell us more...some good stuff going on in this thread =] thank you all for sharing
i'm growing some Mapacho (south american tobacco) and a mint mother for clones in a little 2x2 tent that wasn't being used, using 2 Luminus CMX22 3000K 90 @ 75W each
With a given TOTAL LED PPF output of 340.0 μmol/m^2/s in a given space of 0.371612 m^2.
Daily Light Integral (DLI) @ 1ft = 53 mol.
Totaling at 38 Watts/ft^2.
Total Power consumption = 150.0 Watts. Monthly power consumption = 73 kwh.
AVG PPFD @ 1.0ft = 915 μmol
here are a few pics from a week ago or so:
Sure thing!OMG! tobacco, cool! I don't know that has ever really been discussed. tell us more...
Are you running the same nutrient regimen as Stinkbud's?Sure thing!
I'm growing on a semi aeroponic system, following Stinkbud's guidelines, and a 55 gal reservoir.
The tobacco in the pictures is roughly 45 days old (from seed). I initially planed on just running the tobacco to test the effectiveness of stinkbud's design, since all of my previous grows have been on coco... but the tobacco (and everything else) grew so quickly and healthy that i might as well just let them finish and harvest. The fan leaves are bigger than my hands and i'm over 6' tall!
In case anybody is wondering i'm just using maxigro, a little cal mag here and there, recharge and ph up/down when necessary. I never go over 1.0 EC, and the PH stays pretty controled, and i've honestly haven't done a water change since i started the system a month ago. It's just too convenient.
To this point i've grown Chards, Basil, Lettuce, Spinach, Watercress, Mint, Tobacco hydroponically and under cobs and i couldn't be happier with the results. I'm going to post a few extra pics later on when i get home =]
Cheers!
Nope, just:Are you running the same nutrient regimen as Stinkbud's?
I don't see any specific instructions for hydroponic applications. you think 2.5m per gallon? I have a 110 gallon res, it takes about 3 days to go though it. you think i should do a partial fill of the res and run it for a day, or for a full 3 days?Both
It is the one product that has done what it states it will do to the point of making your jaw drop
Just follow the instructions here:

I foliar as directed or into the res on hydro at 2.5ml per gallon. One or two applications at res change and a foliar should have you back in business
I would think a partial res would be sufficient.I don't see any specific instructions for hydroponic applications. you think 2.5m per gallon? I have a 110 gallon res, it takes about 3 days to go though it. you think i should do a partial fill of the res and run it for a day, or for a full 3 days?
Yeah, its a cucumber that had a bad case of spider mites, strange they go after my cucs and leave other plants alone at the same time. I hit it hard with an oil spray and it killed most of the leaves. I have some new growth coming now. I took a clone off of it and have it isolated, gonna toss the plant outside to freeze I think, and any remaining spider mites!Tomatoes are actually hard to grow in any kind of scale, they are very susceptible to diseases and pests.
Probably why farmers use so much poison.
this mangled plant in the front is attracting insect with the smells it gives off.
I think the problem lies in the ‘if all else was equal’ thought as that will mean different things for everyone. My thoughts are if everything was dialed in and equal, simple clay balls in an aquaponics setup would be ideal and one of the most forgiving.so growth medium, removing money from the equation, would a 8x8x8 rockwool cube get the best growth of any medium if all else was equal?
aquaponics is a bit more then i want to do, lets say you had coco, soil, a big 8x8x8 rockwool cube and perilite. I will not talk clay balls because i DTW. what would you think would do the best for tomatoes?I think the problem lies in the ‘if all else was equal’ thought as that will mean different things for everyone.

I believe a mix of coco/perlite and the rock wool block would yield similar performance.aquaponics is a bit more then i want to do, lets say you had coco, soil, a big 8x8x8 rockwool cube and perilite. I will not talk clay balls because i DTW. what would you think would do the best for tomatoes?
these are all going to be in a 11 liter bato bucket, mostly because that is what i have for buckets
