This morning I happened to hear the pump kick on so I opened the tent to see how well everything was flowing and working. Lo and behold one of the torture clones was getting no juice. It wasn't dry and I've watched it pump both of them before, but not this morning. Soooo, took out the t and hooked em each straight to the bubbler. These poor little bastards don't stand a chance. Or, do they?? Muhahaha

T was too restrictive? Those have lots of life!

I have no idea. It has definitely been getting feed. It was definitely not dry this morning. I've watched it get feed. But, this morning, one did, one didn't, so I said screw it. Let's give em both the juice!!!!

Eta: I'm also running a 400gph pump so I think that falls into your "wimpy little pump" category.

I'm considering a 1/2hp pump for the veg tent. Running two lines to the manifold means I can only run a max of four plants.

do you pump directly into the pots or to a gravity feed reservoir? I like putting a “Y” or “T” on the end of them small water lines to help prevent buildup.

Pump pushes nutes through pvc pipes to the bubbler that then sends feed out in 8 directions to the multiple plants. 1/4" line goes directly to the pots. No drippers or emitters. I removed the t this morning from the 2 smaller pots.

Nice, one of these years I plan on upgrading from my chapin.

3 Chernobyls and 1 Meltdown popped up. Took too long until I put a heating mat down. Finding decent warmth the last few weeks was tough! Hopefully the other 2 meltdowns will pop now.

I bought another fluentpower pump! Little smaller than the one in flower. Should get the air burst in veg too.

Definitely,the frost on these plants are really amazing. I'll know soon enough, hoping really soon. Thanks @BobBitchen!!!

Bob's beans Meltdown 3 weeks into 12/12. Showing some frost, looking promising. My photography leaves little to be desired however.

one of my chernobyls did that. Usually I can get them to pry off but it was really stubborn so I let it be... and it decapitated itself lol

Muscling through lol. My beans aren't as fresh as some that are popping here, I got them in 2022. Maybe that has an effect on the shell over time. Less hingey

Could be, mine are a few years old too.

All of my chernobyl did that. Meltdown popped fine. Take some water in the tip of a straw and put a drop on it. Let it soak in, reapply a few times.It will soften the shell and it will slide right off
