I prefer 3.75”-4” nets pots for my final pot so to speak...when you start to actually veg the plant, you will want it to be in a net pot & media such as hydroton for support. I wouldn’t recommend trying to veg or flower a plant without said support.

I’ve kept plants in my cloner for up to 6 months in the collars and they don’t develop the thick roots necessary for flower regardless of nutrient strength or light provided. It’s almost like they want the resistance they get from the media and net pot in order to develop the thick roots needed for a good flowering period.
 
Great thoughts Cronk! I thought maybe the stems would be to rigid for bending. This morning I checked and I am able to bend bud over, run string around its stem and connect to the other side of box. Gets me a couple more inches room and get light to bud area that was not getting real exposed. Kudos
 
This thread is unreal...

giving recirc a try for my 2nd run... hoping to iron out the kinks to use it for the dark harvest in August too!

This is 1st grow and I think I am close to harvest or at least a portion of the grow. What I thought were new pistils forming I believe is light stress from being to close to my LED light. Has anyone else experience this? I looked at trichomes and they are cloudy with quite a few amber. It is by my estimate only day 55-58 right now.
 
Ok..Ok. I checked those and now not so sure.:doubtful:

Thank you! Saved again by the forum! I added some pictures! Hard for me to get good ones in such a crammed space.
 
The roots are so long i am going to have to leave them in the 2 inch cups. i will cut a hole in the bottom of the 3.75 inch net cup big enough to fit the roots through but the 2 inch cup wont fall through. Then fill in with pellets. So thanks for the idea of cutting a whole in the 2 inch cup. It lead me to my solution. And i will be using it next time.
 
I am going to get general hydroponics nutrients. Does anyone know how long they last after opening? It is much cheaper to buy by the gallon. Thanks.
 
So I have been harvesting my 1st ever hydro grow. 1st grow in general. So far I have 18 grams of Tangerine Dream and 15 grams of Critical Purple. Not a huge amount but I have small grow area and its just cool growing your own flower. Still have quite good haul left as I am waiting for rest to finish because light penetration was an issue so bottom flowers were not done. So very nice to be using my own medicine now though a great feeling. Thanks to everyone here for the help!

Hello everyone,

Was wondering, are there any tables/diagrams/documentation around that give an indication for a target ppm/ec values for nutrient blended water for the various stages of growth?

Seems like something handy to have, compile an average target ppm/ec /week for reservoir water table for hydro systems to reference (and experiment) against.

as in after adding CalMag/FloraMicro/Gro/Bloom nutrients:
target ppm/ec for sprouting - xxx-yyy
target ppm/ec for first week - aaa-bbb
target ppm/ec for second week - ccc-ddd

and so on.

with what plain water ppm/ec did you start out with - your baseline ppm/ec from the water source ?

and comments with what extra's to add to adjust measured ppm/ec towards intended ppm/ec (up/down).

i'm going to start keeping a record of ppm (NaCl calibration) of plain & nuted water with DWC/Hydro/Recirculating – GH Flora Nutrient Trio DWC schedule [PDF] as reference.

I suppose relevant questions/data points would be:
observed happy (average) ppm/ec values for the plants - per week.
what you did with the water to get there.

thoughts? ideas?
 
Let's get nerdy...

Checkout my 1st grow thread and what is my VPD in my signature, would love to join you in tracking the data.

I'm running an aggressive 3040ppm (700scale) right now with some autos that are approaching their 50th day.

Let get some of your data into mydashboard if you dont mind logging data to a google spreadsheet!

I'd love to help you build this nutrient forecasting tool out. we could also tie yields to it to be able to see trends for specific yieldthresholds...💪🤘🤙🙏🍀🥦🌳📈📊
 
Could someone explain ppm/ec in general terms. I have no idea and have wanted to get a meter. How does it know the nutrient levels and all that stuff?
Explain like you were telling a kindergartener. lol
