[unity]

My new grow space is finished , so I going out on a limb here and share the first grow in it

I guess the method would be a NFT method 'run to waste'

The Space:
3x3x7
Completely controlled environment AC/Chiller/Co2
600W digi

The method:
Drip to Waste
House & Garden Van de Zwann Program (Aqua Flakes)

The Clones:
1x Bubba Kush
1x LA Confidential
2x AK47

The Environment:
Temp: 75-78 degrees
Res: 70 degrees
Co2: 1075 maintained
The grow cab is completely sealed but I extract for 15 min. every 3 hours

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff here, just hit me up and I'll fill it in

Thanks mate, I hope it's going to work the way I planed I've done 2 grows before, each time my environment went to shits as the plants got bigger. So here it is my miniature controlled environment, it's good practice for the 'big' room we all dream about,lol

I already had my first infestation, well technically it was not my infestation, since the bugs came with the clones from the dispensary No big deal though, treated the roots with Zone first (cause I had it) and then some bug specific stuff that I got from the hydro store (my bud took the bottle last night, sorry I forgot the name)

ya it is good practice LOL . Bugs suck!

Veg: Day 6 from clone under 600W HPS

Well, not much happening yet I topped them twice already. The last 2 days they have started to pick up momentum

They are on a 18/6 schedule (my bud does always 24/0 during veg, but I like to give them a little dark time, gotta be good for the soul)

Temps during lights on are 81 degrees, during lights off I set the ac 4 degrees lower. Again probably not necessary, but I would expect it to be colder at night then day, so I figure the plants would expect that as well)

Co2 is maintained at 1150ppm

Humidity is between 55% to 70% (Good for now, but I may have to rig my de-humidifier during mid to late flower)

The bug infestation has been dealt with (The Bubba Kush must have had 100-200 bugs in the root zone )

I do have to say that the AK 47 and Bubba clones were in rather sad shape when I got them, but have made a nice recovery since last week. You can still see the nute def. form when I got them (yellowing lower leafs on bubba & rust spots on AK47)

I think I'll veg one more week that I'll flip them.

Coments are welcome

Thanks mate , what is your set-up like? What are you growing?
It is not as simple as I thought to create a sealed environment, I but I think I'm there now

I had to bring in my CAP PPM3 counter in for repair, but they ended up replacing it. I wonder if others are having problems with this counter/controller? My buds is doing weird stuff too, hmm?!
Either way they took care of it in under 15 min. I was rather impressed with them!

Well, I thought my bug problem was gone, but I was wrong! The little fuckers are back
Here is a pic! The seem to be only in the root zone.
I flooded the buckets with Spinosad along with a folia application.
If you guys know what bug it is let me know!

Thanks

 

[unity]

Did some research, the bug is called a 'root aphid'.
Imidicloprid is the active ingredient that will knock them out. I think Spinosad works along the same lines, not sure though. I flooded my buckets for now, and will do so again in 5 days. I also treated my buckets and leafs. If it doesn't work I'll get me something with Imidicloprid in it.

Nice set-up Snoop!! Do you mind me asking what brand co2 counter / controller a you using, I have a ppm3 that sucks balls
It does a good job counting, but freezes all the time, that can cause a bad fuck up in a sealed room.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Taknit! I wish there was more plant, but it'll get there
I don't know how the bubba kush is going to re-bound from the aphid infestation, but the leafs look kind a weird, and it's already staring to fall behind.

I switched to 12/12, my 2 AK47 have reached 12 " and I do not want a jungle in there
My Bubba Kush is lagging behind, but I do not care, I have a mother, and if it does not recover form the Aphids I will pull it, and do a B. Kush grow next tim. I would still have the LA Conf. and 2x AK47 in my 3x3 space, should be more then enough

wowza i really like the setup, i know bugs can get outta hand i was dealing with spidermites that came with the clones from the dispensary and then right after had some of those root gnats, whatever they're called. can't wait to see what happens you should have some Dank!
