Spider Farmer And 8 Main Colas Experiment (Mainlining/Manifolding)

Day 20 of flower. Pictures update.

Ok see here we are 3 days later and some further developments. Ayahuasca Purple has crown and showing some purple pigmentation. Black Sugar is going to crown shortly and is starting to show so pink/magenta pigmentation.

Green crack and blueberry aren't far behind with some good flowering site development.

I think I have also identified a small static air pocket that has developed within my room enviroment. This has resulted in me moving the final plant ordering to assist in drying out one of the lesser dry mediums. This will also be rectified with the addition of an extra fan at floor level.

I have also do some light defoliating as the mid canopy density was too much and restricted air flow and light penetration.

CalMag will be cut out in the next few feeds as all plants would of crowned and no longer require addition Calmag. Any extra needs should also be covered by the addition of molasses.

This week's feed is EC 1.9 due to ever so slight tip burn at 2.0 EC, pH 5.5.

10ltr water
8ml CalMag
8ml Bud Candy
8ml Nirvana
8ml Bud Factor X
8ml Big Bud
4ml Rhino Skin
5ml Sensizyme
12ml Connissure Part A
12ml Connissure Part B
8 x 1ml Level Scoops Plagron Bat Gauno Powder
8ml Molasses

Each plant fed 2.5ltrs

I have also attached some pictures of the developments.

Picture update at day 27 of flower. Also all have pretty much crowned now or will by the next time they are fed. From this point I will discontinue calmag and more than likely bigbud. Bigbud will be replaced with over drive and the base A and B will be increased to about 2ml/LTR

What kind of oscillating fans are those bro

Wowzers!

That nutrient MENU you have there is never ending.

Total waste you know and a very costly habit.

Twice as much is not twice as good I say but in this case it's countless multiples.

Good luck.

I brought them off eBay. A company called secret jardon make them there a 20w ocsillating fan. They have a pole mount clip on them. Think they are also known as monkey fans. Did have to put a plug on them.

About the nutes I find it works for me. I've tried many different things over many years. I find it reliable, don't get any problems....... Good enough for me.

Some manifolding pictures I took for another thread. Thought I'd add them as they are relative and a few sneeky bud development shots. I did burn the tips of a couple slightly due to plants stretching to close to the light. Caught it as they burnt. Only superficial damage.

Picture up date at day 31. Some frosting starting to take place and good development on the buds.

Now full crowning has appeared my feeding scheme has changed slightly it now reads.

The ladies today under the 2x sf2000 in a 3x3 tent. They are filling out. Taking their sweet time but they are doing it lol.

If you dont mind me asking what dimmer setting did you use for each stage of growth and hanging heights?

Unfortunately I bought mine right before they came out with the ones with the dimmer switches so that's a bummer. But I got them going under just one of the lights from seed for about 2 weeks. From there I kicked the other one on for veg and had them at about 26" away from the plants. Very tight node spacing! The down side, I didn't veg them tall enough being that this was my first run with led lighting. I was worried about my light depth penetration. Next run I'll veg to about 16" tall before making my switch and see how that does for me. But with topping and lst they really bushed out under the lights. Like I said, tight node spacing which I'm definitely happy with. Next run I'll also be opening up the tent fully at 3'x4' with 3x sf2000 in it which will give me 50 watts per square foot. A little excessive but I don't think it will be with running co2 in there as well. Though, I don't know how often people run co2 with led lights. So I may be taking a gamble there. Let me know any questions or input you may have!

I run CO2 old skool style. I have 6 x 2 ltr bottles half filled with tepid water 2 cups of suagr and a packet of yeast. Changed or topped up ever 7-10 days.

Unless you're sealed you'll always be fighting your extraction. I run my extraction as low as I can accounting humidity and temperature. Hence why I have lots of old skool bottles. Second to this is why I run oscillating fans as CO2 is heavier than the surrounding air and good air movement inside is key to avoid CO2 hot spots at the bottom of the tent.

Seems to work well. I'd love to invest in automated CO2 generators just cash flow is always apparent.

Silentvirtue, are you running with led lights too?

Haha, it's my grow journal

Most of that was never needed and the plants would be the exact same regardless.

Budman111, there's more than one way to skin a cat. Why are you judging his method? Lol

Hate when I seen OP's wallet raped with those snakeoils but I suppose they're bought now and lesson soon will be learned.

I did use the standard rose for the first few weeks but quickly became a problem I now. I now have an old HT lead cap from car. It's rubber slips over the end of the spout and has a 90 bend on it. Controls flow rate better too.
