SB, where can I get either 1. Goo feminized seeds (the yield and grapejuice smell in my room sounds nice!) and/or 2. AK47 feminized seeds?
You've mentioned both of these as great strains (i've already got blueberry growing
)

Hello group.
I've got the root tips of 2 of my plants beginning to sit in the water. Should I trim some off? Which ones? They're on day 20 from seed. T- HO 2ft 4 bulb, veg blend for nutes. I lifted them on the top of the pvc pipe to get them out of the water. The water level is just above the top of the water pump.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Happy Easter.
Yes - because 1.0 ms - measured with an EC meter is equal to 700 PPM (or whatever you calibrate to). So a reading of 3.4 on such a meter would be the same as 2380 PPM.
I just looked at the specs of the HI-991404 - and I think you may need the resolution of the 991405 - though I am not certain I am reading the specs correctly... the 05 is measuring in ms as I have been speaking (as does my Hanna), but the 04 model you refer to is different - I am not sure which one is the better choice for gardening. The 991405 goes to 20 ms which is the equivalent of 14,000 PPM!
Can anybody clarify the diff between the Hanna 991404 and the 991405?
You are the man! 27 oz off a Stink rack! Great job.My last harvest was 27oz. Right now I'm running 12 plants per unit vs. 14. (it's a legal thing). My biggest harvest from one plant has been 3oz.
I'm looking at 2-3oz per plant this next harvest. (except for the Diesel). So it looks like the next harvest will be at least 24oz. of the dankest bud you could ever imagine.
Right now I'm growing Purple Silver, Blueberry, Goo, Snowbud and NYC Diesel.
My next harvest will be even bigger. I'm running this strain called Goo that's a freak of nature. The colas are the size of my arm! Even the side buds are huge. Everything is covered in crystals, even the fan leaves! It smells just like grape juice.
Pot genetics is a lot like human genetics. Every strain is a little different. Within each strain you will also find different phenotypes. If you grew out a hundred seeds you would find a few plants that are stronger and healthier than the rest.
Out of those plants maybe one would have everything, taste, smell, high, etc...
There is only one Michael Jordan and there is only one Goo...
Imagine if you could clone a basketball team full of Michael Jordans.
I've medicated with Goo - had no idea it grew like that. I want to get my hands on some of that!

I built the cloner and veg unit & I'm getting a bit of a leak from the 2" holes yet the cups are snug and snap into place. I cant see how they would be leaking unless the pressure of the incoming water is possibly too great ???
They were made exactly to specifications, minus the pvc measurement errors in the directions (I added 1" to all pvc lengths to correct it), down to the identical pumps. 396gph eco's.
Should I..... A) add more nozzles, or B) try a smaller pump ? Other solution?
they were also leaking from the lids a bit but some weather stripping and a night with a filled duplicate container weighted on top of it fixed that issue.

Yo Jag - when are you moving to the veg unit? You may want to skip it and go straight to flower!
I lagged on all stages of my first two Stink batches - and am now paying the price with overgrown plants in flower. I had to cut roots to get em out of the veg units... works, but it's not fun! My wife is a good surgeon though, and all patients survived!
Grow on!

Just curious, I can't tell from the last photo in your recent post but are your pvc supports higher than you specified in the plans? Working with somewhat of a low ceiling and I was just trying to get an idea of typical growth from the rails up, light positioning, etc. Should be firing up the system in the next few days. Have a good Easter.
Perhaps lower the spray bars .5 to 1.0 inch?
Nice idea to put the weighted container on the lid for shaping.

oh shit SB made it into high times..Dont know if its been mentioned yet...but good job man
Ill be starting my set up soon. What fem strains would you recommend for your set upsh?
I was thinking about running some serious seed chronic for sure because of the weight but I still want some nice indicas or indica dominants for personal stash

Hey Jager
My seedlings are a few days behind yours. Mine are 18 days... I moved mine to the veger yesterday. My roots were in the water as well...
The move went well, I was worried about stress but today I can tell they are still growing.
Try moving them.

I put down a layer of heavy foil paper, then cut an X first and tore out the extra paper. Mine don't leak around the cups anymore.
I built the PVC exact to SB DIMs, even ran a 525 GPH pump for awhile. I stopped the lid from leaking with 2" - 20ml pipe wrap tape all around the edges. Excess towards the inside the rez.

I found this chart about the meters from Hanna. It looks like the difference is how the EC & TDS are measured. Temp & PH are the same.

The foil paper covers the entire lid of the cloner or veg unit. Then I make cut outs for the 2" net pots so there is a little foil paper under the lip of each net pot.
Mine leaked until I layed down the paper under the pots.

I think I'm going to move the 3 biggest plants (Hindu Kush) over to the MH/veg site tonight. I'm assuming it's alright to let the roots pile up on the bottom of the container? Anyone have any problems with the water draining through the roots, root rot, etc?
Hey, Lion, when you say "lagging" did you just let them veg too long? How long and what kind of lights did you use for seedling/veg? Thanks for the help.
Stink, is there a right way and a wrong way to handle/trim roots. I've heard you mention that the roots are pretty hearty, but I don't want to cause undo stress. Any tips on handling them? Since I only have 2 sets of 3 plants, I'm just going to transfers lids with the plants in them when I move them to Veg or flower.
Also, my biggest has 6 nodes and is 5" tall, Hindu Kush, Does that seem normal?

Just topped my plants for the first time....these plants are about 4 weeks into Veg (all from seed).
I clipped the very top of the stem, right above the most recent pair of branches
They went from "super vibrant and stiff" to "super drab" in about three hours...they feel really limp and weak now.
Does anyone know if they're going to recover? Is this normal?

Yes the rails are a lot taller. I'm also using two rails instead of one. So now there are a total of 8 full length rails instead of the normal 4.
I attached another Tee and ran the rail between them. It gives the plants more support.
The first rail i put at 12" and the second rail is at 32". Check out the photos.
