600w Closet DINAFEM POWER KUSH

[jondamon]

lol, thats true. I think im gonna pay a visit to my hydro store tomorrow and speak with them. Im lucky to have one so close to me and the owner is awesome aswell. Ive just started 4 clones direct to 12/12 and they are in 3L Airpots - apparently these will sit in there nicely so I wont have to do any re-potting. Will see how it goes. I may sit this grow out and water by hand and then use Wilma for the next lot. At least then I will be able to do a proper comparison I suppose.

The system sure looks great though and thanks for the effort in your journal describing it the way you have done

No problem at all my man. I too have a local grow shop only 10mins drive away and i get freebies all the time.

When i ordered my BLOCKBUSTER from my grow shop they hadnt had anything like it in before and everyone who walked in and seen almost creamed in their pants lol.

My grow shop guy said you get what you pay for! And he is damn right! I also get freebies too. Had some PLANT MAGIC coco nutes for free (full 1 litre bottles) PLANT MAGIC HYDRO BLOOM (1litre bottles) and the PLANT MAGIC BLOOM BOOSTER just a pk1314 (500ml bottle)

Also had a 250ml bottle canna boost, and i never pay for any rockwool blocks that i need lol. I FUCKING LOVE LOCAL HYDRO SHOPS. My guys also have free samples from me i might add which always goes down well!!!!!

Yes i can confirm the 3 litre airpots DO fit into the WILMA 4 holes. I used to use AIRPOTS but gave all my pots to a good friend who now grows mothers for me, i had around 30x1litre airpots for clones and small plants. 6x3litre airpots, 5x6litre airpots, and on my last harvest i had 2 plants each in there own 15litre airpot.

What i like about the airpots is that you can put some small screws into the top of the pots, You know where you have the ring of un-holed plastic around the tops and use them with string to LST the fuck out of them lol.

Heres a pic of a sharksbreath that i LST'd to death after 11weeks of VEG lol.

Nice setup you got going on their my man ,

I wish i had the luxury to invest in a better setup , unfortunately i have to stick with micro growing for now and outdoor growing

You plants looks nice and frosty , looks like you could snowboard down em

Your gonna have some killa smoke their soon ...

Thanks bro.

I had this closet design in my head for almost a year. Wanted to hone my skills a little more before i invested heavily. Amazing what a little money and ALOT of reading can achieve lol.

Thanks for a good read and some inspiration too. I especially liked the comment whoever said it, " most ppl here just wanna see train-wrecks ,so they can bash the grower" - good comment, as i sorta noticed that too . Any way on a positive note you've given me some great ideas to try, as i am a new grower, it makes it easier to learn from ppl with your attitude. dude

Hey folks

I know i only do updates on mondays but i couldnt resist taking a darkness shot of the ladies yesterday in the hopes i would have time to upload them for you to see.

As you can see from the Whole room pics there is the yellowing from the pH problem i had early on in flowering, I think the pH dropped to low for Mg to be taken in by the plant. It hasnt gotten any worse so im not overly concerned with this.

Hope you enjoy,

New full update on Monday which is RES change day, Current EC1.4 pH5.7, Changing on Monday to EC1.2 just of the FLORES, RHIZO, ZYM, BOOST.

nice looking set up you have, i'm loving the scientific approach. are you happy with how the plants are going?, i recently grew some critical and haze autos from dinafem and from what i can gather they seem to be a really good seedbank, i will be looking to grow more from them in the future.

how long you gonna let these ladies go for?, looks like they are still growing to me.

To be fair i am pretty impressed with how these have grown. I picked DINAFEM due to the amount of coverage they get in SOFT SECRETS newspaper. THe Stretch on this strain was a little hard to deal with, There is one plant that unfortunately is not easy to get a pic of that has stayed quite compact and stocky with good ROCK HARD dense cola's, Luckily my Mother grower has a clone of this plant to keep it around. So in retrospect out of 4 beans that i popped there was a definate mother contender out of those 4 which is a pretty good percentage. 2 clear distinct phenotypes in these 4 beans, the tall, and the Compact. During Veg they all could have been clones of the other!

They are about to enter into WEEK7 of 12/12 on Monday, the POWER KUSH is supposed to be an 8weeks strain but i always plan for 10 weeks on 8 or 9 week strains and if they happen to take longer then they take longer. Im a personal grower so the time frame is less important to me and the final quality is EVERYTHING.


Next i plan on Growing some 2xCRITICAL+ and SWEET DEEP GRAPEFRUIT by DINAFEM along with the MOBY DICK from Greenhouse Seeds. The only problem i do foresee with this is that its 3 different strains in the same HYDRO system so i can only run as high as my weakest strain.

Looks to be a well thought out system you have put together JDmon. An inspiration to all newbie's and vet growers around the globe.

I intend to apply some of your techniques and plans to my own grow, soon, hope you don't mind.

Thanks for sharing your ladies with us.

Hey Folks

Well i am a day early on posting pics, the main reason for this is that it is my better half's birthday tomorrow so will not be online at all.


Anyway some nice shots for you of day 42 of flower.

I have taken some more pics of my biggest bud with the lighter next to it and the same kind of shot i took the other day with my forearm and hand in view. Also some pics of all the others. The compact stocky plant is the right hand side furthest from the doorway of the closet.

As tomorrow is what it is, i have also done a res change today as i mentioned in an earlier post. RES EC was set to 1.4 but over the last week has increased to 1.6, So i dumped the RES and filled back up with EC1.2 ph5.8, this was just the canna aqua flores 2ml per litre of A and B, Cannazym 2.5ml per litre, Canna Rhizotonic 0.5ml per litre, CannaBOOST 2ml per litre.


Enjoy the pics everyone.

Your girls look fantasitic!! I decided in the end to sit this one out with Wilma and sticking with just manually watering Will give it a go on my next one though. +rep

The airpots are REVOLUTIONARY, i loved the dense rootballs that were achieved using them, No root circling , air pruned roots which causes more feeder roots to develop which leads to an increase in nutrient uptake etc. A little hard to get used to watering them but a great design.

Dip them in a bucket of your nutrient mix for best saturation results mate, I dip my airpots, best way to get them watered IMO.

Those airpots look like they'd be great for a flood and drain system. I'm starting to design a two-tiered vertical ScrOG hydroponic system for a future vert system. It getting really popular but I've been wanting to do it for a while. Bare-bulb vert seems like the best system for getting the most out of your bulbs and maximizing yeild and efficiency.

my power kush just popped the surface, how many different phenos did you get? and what would u say was the most common? great looking grow, hope to have some massive colas on mine as well

The tray would have to drown the entire pot or at least most of it otherwise you would have plenty feeder roots towards the top that would starve of water, they would be great though..

As far as pheotypes go there was NO differences during veg, 2 clear pheno's once flowering, 2 stocky plants with modest amount of bud, and 2 stretchers with larger amounts of bigger bud than the stocky.
