PM's all cleared now,thanks

The roots grow and seek out water and nutes. With the rez at the bottom, they head that way and wick up any and all moisture stored in the rez. Yes the p'lite dries out but its only there for support of the root structure.

ah so , just having the water down there, the root can sense it and starts to head towards it your saying?

When the root reaches it, did u remove the water? or did u let it sit in the water?

Just let the roots do their thing. My plants got watered during flowering every morning. I knew when they were dry cuz I could see the rez was dry

cool. sorry im baked as fuck right now lol, just gonna make sure I understand this.

Roots search down towards the water, once they reach it, u just keep letting em go for it, even if the roots are sitting in the water? U just always filled that res and never really watered them directly? Just let em take what they needed from that water sittin at the bottom?
(lol sorry if im annoying u with all the questions, just wanna make sure I understand right)

LOL...no worries mate. Yes, I watered them when the rez was empty. The roots sucked it up and they were fine. The rez is not that big so they use it up quite quickly

great job boneman

Thanks Cam.....I need some + rep too. I am lagging way behind. Where's the love man?

LOL.....its all good bro. Glad to see you back posting again

Thanks to everyone that has given me +rep for this grow. It was soo soo easy, I'd give it to myself if I could. I'm still amazed.
Please leave your screen name so I know who rep'd me

thanks

I just repped you but forgot to leave my screen name. lol

Nice grow. BTW, if you really are from Minnesota, midwest hydroponics in St. Louis Park has the deal on huge sacks of perlite, 4 cubic feet for 20. Way cheaper than lowes/home depot. I assume you'll be doing hempy again soon!

Dooooood! The AK is fkn power bro..straight up power. I've only sampled an early harvest bud from the PPP and its some nice smooth hittin stuff. I still have about a week from the last harvest before its ready to smoke. I just got the inside moisture to wick thru.

Very nice harvest Boneman!



Do you think those hempys would work well with Light Warrior? That stuff's mostly perlite anyway but I'm thinking the extra peat in it might support more microbial activity???

Not sure about the light warrior ZTF.

I just smoked some AK after it sat sealed in my cure jar for the last few weeks. It's still lung expanding violent smoke, but so much nicer smelling and tasting after sitting in the cure jar for a while

wow... just read all this and my brain hurts! hempys are interesting to say the least..
fantastic job, i cant WAIT to get that serious AK.. seems to be a really hearty plant!

+rep on a great job and well documented grow!
