ya that is another thing. (good point disposition84) If your goin big, your gonna have a truck load of rockwool to get rid of after a few rounds. I live in the sticks so i just bury or burn my growing waste. And what ever you use, cover the root zone from light. I have panda film over the top of...
Rockwool in a ebb/flow (flood/drain) set up will work, but you are going to have a harder time dialing in your watering times. Rockwool stays wet for a long time. its really easy to get stem rot if your not on top of it. Even if you start your cuttings in too big of a rockwool cube and then put...
well here is a couple pics from my most interesting harvest. The previously mentioned 4x4 tray with big bud that went all wrong. unfortunately the colas got so big and dense that they molded inside. AND the back side of the colas where there was no light looks like crap. really scraggly all...
I have a 4x4 flood tray filled with Hydroton. It is now time to clean it up so I can go another round. Is there a quick and easy way to clean the roots from the hydroton? at the moment its 1 handful at a time for me. but thats getting old. I have 4 bags worth to go through.
I have always taken clones from the young quick growing shoots, that is easy. but i'm getting rid of my moms and i want to get as many cuts as i can outta them. most of what is left have tough woody stems. My normal rootine is to soak the cuts in KLN and water solution for 10 min then dip it in...
well i have gotten used to the PH thing now. after the 4x4 flood table with the 40 gal rez, i decided to switch my 4x8 tray to ebb and flow aswell. got a 70gal rez. its the low profile botanicare one so i wont have the same prob as my 4x4 room. in there i have the barrel under the tray so it...
I have 2 rooms side by side. 1 4x8 tray w/ 2 600hps in dirt. they are 4 weeks out from harvest. and the other room is a 4x4 flood tray filled with hydroton and 1 600hps ebb and flow. they are only 1.5 weeks into flower.
I noticed a thrip problem in the dirt room, i thought i had them knocked...
Oh and if anyone is interested here are some pics of Quarkle and Big Bud in my dirt grow. the quarkle is a pretty lookin, really purple bud, but no where near the size of the Big Bud strain. the first one is Quarkle this is the big bud
thats the big bud in the background and the quarkle on the...
so here they are 22 days later, if any of you are following. they have been in flower for about a week and a half and i really hope they are done getting taller.i cant move my light up any more. As soon as i switched to CNS17 they went nuts. i also started adding humboldt nutrients Ginormous. I...
So here they are a week later. PH is balancing out nicely. i quit using the GH PH down and went with the advanced nutrients PH down. 3 bucks more but it lasts 5 times as long. Still having the canoeing problem with some of the leaves, but other than that they look ok for my first hydro
