The Irish Growers Thread!

I understand the principle well enough,just would need to understand how long to run the pump and when,i.e, 4 times a day for 20 mins or 6 times for 10.
The only other concern would be in the winter from October until Jan or feb,the power is guaranteed to go a few times especially around Christmas so timing would be important,apart from that all I need to do is make a table and buy some sort of res.
The system I have is basically a glorified hempy bucket so it's not overly complicated.

yeah I understand that, you don't have to pump much at the beginning but you want a constant oxygen source if your roots will be always submerged in water but once they get big you will want to, with ebb and flow, flood the plants 3 -4 times a day. if you have the roots always submerged in water you just need an air stone and make sure you ppms and ph are good.

The 710 looks like a grinder?

 

[mdjenks]

Looks good and nice and compact.
What size net pots would I need for the 12" pots with my system?

I get 4x4x4 rockwool which fits perfectly in the pots which come with the set up except the rockwool and I put a layer a of hydroton at the bottom but that is just personal preference so the roots can come out of the bottom of the rockwool with out it being flat on the pots.

not sure what you would need sense it is homemade but it shouldn't be hard to firgure out you irish dudes are pretty crafty!

flip the 710 upside down and it spells oil which that little container is used for concentrates about 2-4 grams like oil or earwax or hash.

I wouldn't have figured out the 710 but it sounds cool.

I have an air pump as well.

I didn't figure it out either my pops bought me the same one and he had to tell me but my friend figured it out in about a minute.

Is MMJ legal in Texas?

 

[mdjenks]

Is MMJ legal in Texas?

no not at all but in austin the police over look it because it is so liberal and there is a lot of pot smoking going on with all the music venues and all the music festivals as well as art festivals etc. its like they took a city out of california and dropped it in texas. Austin is filled with musicians, artists, poets, and many other art related stuff. the austin motto is "keep austin weird"

I guess if they cracked down on it the festivals might go elsewhere thus hurting the local economy so glad to see common sense being used, the cops know that the majority of people having a smoke,a beer and listening to a band are not out to cause trouble.

look at this fake order I put in on the tude with the july promo 51 beans for $119:

 

[fr3d12]

I spent 92 euro including shipping of 20 and will get 27 seeds I think,I went for the fem options with the freebies.
I ordered white widow,critical,speed haze and the doctor.
All relatively cheap but I tried to get more bang for my buck.

 

[fr3d12]

Meant to ask md where or how did you get the discount?
Was it a giftcard you got?

 

[mdjenks]

@fr3d: just put in "420" for the discount code, it always works


white widow and critical are some great strains, haven't had the others but I'm sure they are great. If I made a real order I would have went with fems as well. just looked at speed haze and looks like a great sativa and the doctor has some great indica lineage for sure you should have a nice run for sure.

 

[fr3d12]

Haha I should have asked on Thursday, I googled it and that didn't come up.
I'll know next time.

 

[DublinGrower83]

@dublingrower: you should be getting a gift this week hope it works out for you in the best way possible and nice job on your current run and I am glad I was wrong about the ladies being males or herms!

Fair play mate looking forward to the next adventure I'm sure I'll be hounding everyone with Qs lol, still on sack watch none as yet thank god!
