Dstroy's NEW grow journal

Longtime lurker here, show looks on POINT!

Building out COBs here myself, so I was super pumped to see your results so far.

I was looking to build a LPA setup, but seeing this, I might make the jump to HPA.

Around how much would you say was the cost of just the HPA irrigation(if I can call it that) for one tent? I know you're running SCROG buckets, but was curious if the manifold + emitters would change the cost significantly for something like a 4x4 table SOG.

Keep up the good work! :clap:

Thanks man, thanks for stopping by.

Just the table, plumbing and solenoids for one tent with nothing else? IDK, I'd play it safe and say less than $400. Table would be the most expensive part. Solenoids are about $20 each. You can find food safe fittings for cheap.

There's a whole lot of control equipment, pumps, accumulators, res, monitoring etc. not included in my estimate.

A table would be the best option to run a SOG, I run 3 nozzles per solenoid but I bet you could get away with 5 per. A benefit is that you can prop up one end slightly to make it easy to collect the runoff instead of having to suck it out like I do.

Honestly, I'm still a new grower. And I have never grown any other way so I don't have anything to compare my results to. Last run with the shitty blueberry I pulled about 600g (1.07gpw) out of the tent when it was dry. With time, and luck I'll find a strain that really does the business.

Fuckin love the almost daily pics.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Thanks for stopping by.
 
Looking forward to seeing how this run goes!

Most people would be ecstatic to pull 1 GPW, granted I haven't seen many starting out with COBs and LED.

Cheers

Edit: Are you still doing 30 seconds mist per 180, or did I misread that earlier?

Feed times are 2-4 seconds every 180 seconds

Day 30 of flowering for the grape ape

There’s a cut of the mutant humble pie that hasn’t sexed yet in the bottom right in a solo cup with phed tap water. Hope it’s a lady cause it’s stinky.

Ga#1 is clearly winning in the flower tent and I have already transplanted both prospective ga#1 moms into their “1 gallon” pots. I left one ga#2 in a 6x6x5 pot to get a ballpark idea on how long they can be kept in one without too much fuss on my part.

Pics of when the plants are all the way awake, ga#1 is the front left half of the scrog diagonally.

Much more resin production thus far as compared to the blueberry I ran last.

Hoping these get super fat and smoke well since the structure is very desirable for scrogging. Easily managed with just a few minutes a day of routine care.
