Are you gonna flush these ladies..if so when? the leaves are so dark green they must have loads of N in them
also...you mentioned you use the GH micro and bloom through both veg and flower( at an 8micro to 16bloom ratio i think you said right?)...but how do you know how much of each nute to add when you are between container flushes? I mean when you are just adding h20 and nutes daily to bring the ppm back to normal?
thanks

What I do is pretty simple. I don't give my girls a fresh batch of nutes until they've drank 12 gallons of fresh water, or until it's been 2 weeks, which ever comes first. Right now my girls are drinking about a gallon of water a day, so they get a fresh batch of nutes every 12 days. I don't think you'd let your nutes set for longer than 2 weeks without changing them out. So even if they haven't drank 12 gallons of fresh water in 2 weeks, I will change out my nutes then also....Some times I will wait as long as 16 days....Are you gonna flush these ladies..if so when? the leaves are so dark green they must have loads of N in them

Hope that helps ya out.

PS
I will definitely flush them 2 weeks prior to harvest.

Just to make sure you understand, I do NOT add nutes daily. Only fresh water.Are you gonna flush these ladies..if so when? the leaves are so dark green they must have loads of N in them

I mix up 12 gallons of water with the nutes. I use 8ml micro / gallon of water, and 16ml bloom / gallon of water.
Then I do like I said in the previous post. I wait for them to drink 12 gallons of water, or 2 weeks, which ever comes first, and then mix up a fresh batch for them again and start the cycle over.... I just wanted to clarify that I don't add nutes daily...

I never realized that fim'ing could cause a stunted growth issue, but it makes sense. I've never really understood how to do it quite right any way. How are you supposed to remove just a portion of the growing node instead of topping??? I don't quite get it. hahah.
Well you know me, I don't do shit! heheheh. I just let the girls grow grow grow. I might train a top down if it grows too fast, but that's about it... I'm glad I have a strain that likes to bush out the way mine does...
yeah too bad no pics of your other grows... I would have liked to see them!!!
Wow man that's great! I been at this over 5yrs. and it always gets you stoned, but I sdtunt them or screw up somehow. It's difficult to get an answer for a question. I use any extra to help hungry people in 3rd world countries. Sad to say I have it all, 3 600w, 2 1000w, 400w plus T-5 and flourecents. I have 2 movers, 3 tents, many trays of all sizes, cloners and more. I even considered going to Oaksterdam college, cause it's time for product. I have lots of room, and privacy. I just seldom get any replies to my Threads. Still this is the best site I found. I always had mites or thrips till I bought a hand held streamer, it does great!! Planning to build a GH Aeroflo2 this week. Any support would be very appreciated.
Merry Christmas, Everybody!!

Sorry to hear that you don't get any replies to your threads... Usually people here are happy and willing to help. It's a great community for the most part!Wow man that's great!

Anyways, I will be happy to help you in any way that I can, and I will answer your questions to the best of my abilities. I'm sure that you are selling yourself short. In 5 years of growing, i bet you've turned out some quality pot.
I have one request: Please do not type my screen name in messages to me on this thread (though you got it wrong, it's not "nutter" take another look. heheh). It makes it surfable via google or any other search engine and those links will point to the thread. Not every time, but some times.. I should have chosen a different user name here. I didn't think about it. And a few or my friends know me by this nick name. And even though they're my best buddies in the world (a couple of them I've know for over 25 years), I still do not let them know I grow. The number one rule, as we all know, is don't tell ANYONE! I know it's a hard rule to follow, we all do. But it's damn important. I doubt any one of my buddies will ever google my nick name, but you never know. So I now try to keep it out of messages.
take it easy and i look forward to hearing from you.

Hey snutter, nice work. I was doing a DWC for my first grow and had to end it unfortunately before I even switched to 12/12, the growth can be amazing. My question is how are you changing the water, do you use a pump, lift out the plant, was wondering cause my only issue with DWC was making changing the water more easy, perhaps the way I made my set up with 20 gal totes and net pots was more crude than what you did. Do you have the info on your set up like you gave to some folks earlier in the thread it would be helpful. Again very good job and nice thread.

really good question. after all this time, you're the first to ask.
Any ways, here's what I do:
I just lift the lids up from the top of my reservoirs and turn them sideways a little bit. It'll rest there no problem and leave a open area. I have a pump with about 20 feet of 1/2" tubing connected to it. I put the pump in to the reservoir and the other end to my drain and pump out the used up nutes. While this is going on I mix up my new batch of nutes. by the time I'm done mixing up my new nutes the reservoir is empty. I have another pump with about 5 feet of 1/2" tubing on it and I use it to pump in my new nutes (i use 2 pumps because I'm too lazy to switch the tubing, hahah). totally simple.
Thanks for asking.-S

Hello all,
Tonight I needed to transplant a clone. I couldn't put it in a big reservoir yet, so I had to build another 5 gallon res for it. I decided to take pics of the process and post here and in my other thread about building 5 gallon res fast and cheap. I did this one in about 10 minutes. The whole process to having the clone under lights was about 30 minutes. I wanted to point out one picture. I think it's number 6. Check out the bubble action going on in the nutrient solution. Bad ass!! that should quiet any doubters a bit. Also, all you can see for a light in the last picture is my 60W full spectrum light, but there is also a 400W metal halide higher up that you can't see in the pictures.
basically I took a 6 gallon kitty litter bucket, washed it out, drilled a hole in it, and then ran tubing inside (it's clear tubing and hard to see). I then connected a T to the end of that and made my usual circle (the black tubing). I drilled my usual 3 small holes in to it and secured it to the bottom of my reservoir using air line holders (seen in my first picture). The air pump I use is a 20 gallon aquarium pump I bought at petco for $9.99. Like I said before, it costs less than $15 to make a reservoir like this.
Hope you dig it. I will add pics of my plants either tomorrow or the next night. The buds are filling in nicely. I can't wait for them to start fillng in with true bud mass!!! Peace!

And by the way, I could grow that clone all the way through flower to harvest in this reservoir if i wanted. I won't do that because I'll have to add water more often than I do in my larger reservoirs. But, you can do it if any one out there is so inclined. no problem at all!!!

I use 8 inch pots with 2 inch flanges at the top of them so that they sit well on top of the lid of the reservoir. No chance of them falling through. The water level covers about a 1/2" of the bottom of the pot at the most (when filled to 12 gallons), probably a bit less. But once the plant has drank some water it will drop below the bottom of the pot. But this seems to work out perfect.
Thanks man! RIP Dimebag!
The strain is White Rhino. Thanks for stopping by guys (and gals if so..)
Hey S - is that 8" diameter? Ok so your water level is up quite high, good to know how your doing it. Did you sit the rockwool high in the net pot or deep into the hydroton? Just wondering cause most info says to have a decent amount of root length out of the water to just absorb the oxygen, seems your staying a little higher. Thanks S
