We'll have to compare Malawi in a few months. The Zamaldelica I've got going are the first ACE seed I've tried. Their list of sativa and sativa dom strains may force me to buy more seeds. The Bangi Haze really intrigues me for some reason.
Generally speaking, hempy's don't need to be watered daily unless the plant is actually drinking that much. I use 5 gallon buckets and during veg while under a 250w T-5 I water every 3-4 days. Once the HPS kicks on during flowering and increases the rate of respiration in the plant, I water every 2-3 days. At 4+ weeks flower, the plant requires almost daily waterings. In the last 2 weeks of flower watering begins daily to keep up with the plant's rate of respiration. I'm trying 100% perlite this grow due to vermiculite causing complications last grow, so we'll see if the rate of watering increases.
I have, but I most certainly don't use that number to determine how strong I mix my nutrients. I mix my nutrients based on how large the plant is and what stage of growth I'm in. The bigger the plant, the more nutrients she'll need to get the job done. Just don't over do it. And remember, most nutrient companies feeding charts are a complete joke. I hear about people running 1200PPM circulating hydro systems and I laugh. My PPM never breaches 400 and this is a link from my last grow during flower.
I definitely agree on the ppm thing, i ended up finding out that last grow my ppms were too high (300 on .5 scale) and that was causing my problems. The daily waterings allowed me to remove another variable and made narrowing things down easier. I ended up finishing it out at 220 ppms for the last 3 weeks and 100 for the last 3 days.
So I've just purchased a meter and started some seedlings off last night (1/4 strength nutes, fox farm) anyway. Exactly what is the water, feeding, flushing schedule. I know I don't feed till 30% run off every time, or every 2-3 days. This is my first go at passive hydroponics any feeding aDvice appreciated.
Do you feed your nutrient solution every morning? Never any plain RO/distilled water?Well, its been a while since I have posted anything in this Forum, so I thought I would show one of my recent Hempy Grows. This is Pineapple Express In a Coco/Perlite Mix (just running all perlite now) in 2 Gallon Food Grade Containers. 4 Plants yields me 1.5lbs. under 600 watts with 1000ppm of CO2 in a sealed room. I Feed Every Morning, and that's about it..

i'm not a fox farms nutrient guy, and have heard a lot of good and bad things (mostly bad). What are you using as your medium and do you have something different for reservoir? How big of a container do you have this in?

oh if love to post pics and all but a little nervous due to legalities for me. I'm guessing you guys use a disposable camera and upload pics (no digital footprint from your device?) anyway 1%vermiculite/3%perlite in 2 or 3 gal hempy buckets w/ a homemade scrogger. I've got seedlings under t5's in rock wool as the buckets await. I've also got same set up outdoors in a 5 gal bucket (Rome Tomatoes) More experience to be obtain flushing, feeding ect.... Honestly this hobbie is the breath of fresh air I need!!!! Thanks for the good inviting vibes. I guess my I need to know how to secure my anonymity then bring you into my green house (aka my wife's named it the $$pit) lol
Planning on the kind k5 750 led????
check out the led section and ask over there. i'm not sure who makes a similar Cree or Vero COB based lamp, but i'm sure they can point you in the right direction and maybe save you some money.
Thanks and that's a big 10-4
Nah, no throw away cameras. Just turn geotagging off if you take pictures with a digital camera or smart phone.
pictures? how often are you watering? what ec?
Every 3-4 days, try and get some later. Just feeding by the instructions on the jug.
