Thanks man. .. I was expecting 14g per 2L so to get 22.4g is ...... AWESOME !!!!! ... I'm irish dancing I'm so friggin happy.
so that was the first 5 dryed and cured. .. I have many more to come that have been in a proper SOG. ... The next lot actually look bigger but I can't tell for sure if the buds will weigh as much since they have been grown much closer together.
I like to use the cups first to get a nice root system started, then when they are transplanted to the 2L they are almost ready to go into bloom (Approx 5 days). Plus the cup/s don't take as much room, if your veg area is small. Either way most of the root system ends up in the bottom anyways. Peace!I have been known to go from RW cube to 2L. ... IMO its a waste of time using the solo cups. .. .. for a 2L its probably best to transplant direct and bloom once the roots hit the res.
I stand corrected .. tbh. I really do feel its a preference thing, I expect most peeps will try both methods.
Always straight to 12/12.
Hi Guy's.
Just a quick drop-in to say that everything with my grow is just doing great. Even that Royal Cheese went like hot-cakes. I'm just finishing off some 'home improvements' so it's difficult for me to get online. just thought I would update on this GDP.
Took a pic before this went out the door. Its 3 and 3/4OZ. I actually pulled just over 4OZ from the 5 x 2L but smoked the Q last week. .. .. so about 22.4g per 2L. .....I'm super stoked with it.
What I forgot to mention when talking about clones -> cups or straight to 2Ls is I don't have a cloner built yet. If I did, I would be doing the exact same thing as you Moe. Let the roots grow long and the transplant into 2L from there.
It was'nt the 'perfect' run. I have found the nutrient 'sweetspot' with this GDP. I'm not sure if its my skill or the GDP genetics, I suspect its the later. Its very very dense bud so it weighs more than most.
possible that some pH or nute def. stress plus some inhospitable temperatures are to blame, or they were just dudes. either way, got PK1 and NorthernBerry going strong. They're super thirsty in the pics because they had just been watered and are starting to really drink quickly now that we're in full swing flowering. Tubes have been changed out so we're in a 3:1 "red" to "blue" light ratio. Cal-Mag has been added to the line-up to combat cal. deficiency (thanks for pointing it out Watt!, you were totally right and if my ass weren't so broke i woulda bought the cal-mag earlier!)

not sure if anyone has gotten back to you but if you're really paranoid about rootrot, watering with a light h2o2 solution tends to protect against it. Now, I'm no expert on rootrot, so you'd need to find the right ratios, and this is generally a fix recommended when rootrot has already been identified, not sure about it's use as a preventative measure. Other than not-overwatering, though, rootrot shouldn't be an issue in inert media that drains well and is properly aerated.
other quick fix is 5mL of liquid humic acid, bubbled for 2 hours! but vit. c also works! (humic gives the slightest P boost, instead of the slightest N boost)
I could see this going either way: it's been a while since I studied fluid dynamics but I'm pretty sure what draws the air through is the water moving down and through the medium, then out the hole...if you water across the top of the medium evenly, and the medium drains properly, it should draw air down through all the little crevices equally, as the water drains. whether the water drains from multiple locations or not, I'm just not sure whether that actually more evenly distributes the air, or just distributes the rate of flow more evenly (thereby reducing the force with which the air is pulled, via the diffusion through many holes, rather than all seeking to exit through the one hole)....not sure, just musing, and i'm sure it works well both ways....the air table idea nizz had i'd love to see, sounds pretty sweet even if it dries the medium a little quicker.
Bummer on the males, but that's the roll of the dice.
Thanks WattSaver.....I think I'll give it a whirl and cap the bucket...cheers
2 out of 6 is not bad, what strain are they?
"Early Wonder Skunk" auto-flowers ...I killed the 2 males today, so I have three hempy's in 2L pop bottles and one in a bucket....plus the old dirt dweller
