I was simply saying that YOU were correct, feed nutes till you get minor runoff and I only check ph if there is a problemThank you Riddleme! But what did you mean by the runoff being correct? Are you looking for ph, color? I have always done the 2-3 times to make it rain, but only use about the same water as pot size for nutes. I don't check runoff for ph, and its always slight brown in color. Kinda like a nasty lookin beer!
I have heard that the yield is less with CMH but that the quality is better, but this is also one of the reasons for the infrared experiment cause I believe heat is what makes the difference, I could be wrong, but we will see???Can't wait Riddleme, this is where things start to get interesting!!
Hey, I was reading where a fellow did a grow with 250 HPS, and 250 CMH, just for flower I think. Said he pulled bout 20% more from the HPS grow. I will hit him up with some questions for specifics, though I thought this would interest you.
I flush everytime I water and I ph it to 5.8 (similar to the ph of rain) hence my method is called making it rain it is detailed in my calling all noob growers thread (sig link)Hey riddleme I am subbed most definitely..I am still reading this thread on the fourth page so far ...what is this "make it rain people keep talking about"
Hmm that is interesting, I am doing something like that - Every 4 to 5 days I am watering the pot size in PH'd water and then the following day water the pot size in PH water w/nutes....then wait 4-5 days (whichever day they dry out first) and repeat..Treating each plant individualy based on needs but that is basically the rotation I got going right now...some are more thirsty/hungry then others especially cause I got about 10 different strains right now :0 - I will have to dig it up in your 100+ page thread thanksI flush everytime I water and I ph it to 5.8 (similar to the ph of rain) hence my method is called making it rain it is detailed in my calling all noob growers thread (sig link)
just so everyone knows I am not feeding nutes at this stage (there are plenty in the soil for the first several weeks)looks good riddle! does it matter if the nutes come before the rain, or should the rain come first? i know after the 2nd round it wont matter anymore, nust curious if there was a ryhme to the reason!!
welcome, glad it is helping youThanks for sharing your knowledge and research with the community, I have been following your threads and learned alot. Im along for the ride.
has been a week since the 1st one was put in dirt (which is when I start my count)
you will see that they loved getting rained on (soil is almost dry, one more day) they are starting on the 3rd node and 2nd node is growing it's 3 fingers also the internodal spacing is less than 1/2 inch
they are still on 16/8 and the light is still at 32 inches
#4 is still playing catch up (has not had it rain yet) but is doing great
ROTFLMFAO! And you need to get some foil on the walls for the light!!yeah I wanted to be a smartass and type "Do you think they look too small for thier age" I love those post where they are in a window sill in MG soil getting watered everyday and it ask is there a problem?
No I want to wrap the little stems with tin foil in the shape of little satilite dishes so they can suck the photons right out of the airROTFLMFAO! And you need to get some foil on the walls for the light!!
Namaste'
pretty good idea, dont let any newbs steal it from you and make the next cannibis cultivation success!!No I want to wrap the little stems with tin foil in the shape of little satilite dishes so they can suck the photons right out of the air
I read one this morniong that said!yeah I wanted to be a smartass and type "Do you think they look too small for thier age" I love those post where they are in a window sill in MG soil getting watered everyday and it ask is there a problem?
I pointed her to riddles noob thread and told her to start there and then read everything in his sig link. Then I told her it looked like she was not gonna make it before winter.I saw that one and wondered where you would start to even answer that one. Pollinating or cloning seemed like quite a plan for an outdoor Canadian crop to me.
