[GanjaGed]

Tent A

Seeds are cracked, hopefully be ready for rooters in a day or two


Tent B

PH went on a steady rise and PPM began up/down fluctuations so changed solution today

Total days since last change - 29

10gal RO

50ml Cal/Mag

36ml Micro

72 ml Bloom

4c H2O2

50ml Dyna-ZYME (Not part of plan but should be a good maintenance/prevention additive and since I have it on hand for Tent A )

I can tell you thought it out well GG , I find it very interesting the differences between hydro and dirt, my girls stay in one gallon pots for about 2weeks then 5 gallon hard pots and 10 gallon smart pots, do your roots grow out the bottom of the pots?thanks for explaining it all to me

[GanjaGed]

Seeds into paper towels today, same solution

Height is one consideration, esp. without doing a ScrOG.

Another is that in the E&F I'm watering from the bottom up and while LECA does wick to an extent it won't go all the way up a full 5 gal pot.

7" is the height of the tray walls and about double the the waterline which lets all but the top inch or so get moist and the roots can use the entire pot rather than wasting growth through a bunch of dry medium. I could add a drip system but that just adds maintenance that's not needed. I root in a Rapid Rooter then put an empty rooter down so about half of it is below the waterline and stack the rooted one on top of it. The wicking action keeps the seedling going perfectly. I water from the top once a day for about a week and let her go. The 1 and 2 gallon pots are already close enough the right height.

I'm not even positive yet that the pot size matters all that much but that's a test that will happen next grow. What I do know is that in Tent B the Northern Light in a 1 gallon pot is growing just fine and at least as far as size is bigger than the Wonder Woman plants in 2 gallon pots. Now some of that is strain related but that 1 NL could have filled the tent on it's own out of the 1 gallon pot.

Sounds like a plan to me, looking good Ganj. Yeah, hope you feel better.

[oldjarhead100]

how come you cut your pots down GG ? I figure its for a couple extra inches of height. Hope your feeling better

Hey guys, still having some issues, I'm hoping most are due to the recent switch in my med dosages and will calm down as I adjust again.

I've got some of those clips in my cart for my next order!

[D.A.A.S.69]

Thanks, I'm ordering some right now.thanks again OJH

[oldjarhead100]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 you get two 40 piece packs for about 6 bucks , I used 3 packs on 10 plants so I ordered more

[D.A.A.S.69]

Those look like some nice clips OJH, How do you order them ??

[oldjarhead100]

good morning GG this is a picture of those clips I told you about they work really well , I used them on both cloth and plastic pots, the bigger ones would fit on something about a inch wide the smaller ones about 1/2 to 5/8, Im going to order more today have a great day

[GanjaGed]

Got everything in today!

Spent the day washing and charging new LECA and finishing setting up Tent A. Only thing left is to set and secure the ScrOG, but that needs to wait until the plants are going so I have room to backfill and such easy after seedling stage.

[alltatup]

They look awesome, GGed!! Don't get swallowed by the jungle!!!!

[GanjaGed]

Been out of it for a few days, with a lot of "off-time" Such is life with this condition, lol.

Nutes, light, etc for the next grow should be here Friday, yay! Providing I can manage Tent A should be running sometime next week. Also got the stuff to do dry-ice sifting in this order so I should be trying that soon with the 4 jars of frozen trim I saved last harvest.

Tent B

added another 12ml ea Cal/Mag, Micro, Bloom. I've had zero burn/def this grow, the reservoir has run super smooth this way so I decided not to do a change over at this point. I'm going to let it run until it's ready for a top off then do a complete change.

It's a jungle in there, lol. I was not prepared for the Northern Light stretch at all and that just made a difficult situation worse. I'm a bit concerned that the yield is going to suffer a bit. I knew this was a possibility and it's already corrected for the next grow so I'm just gonna keep wrestling and clipping a little here and there. I think I'll be in a good situation to try some staged harvesting, taking the top and then the middle then the lower levels, I'll have to see how that develops.

A few pics:



Say hello to my little friend!
