The Fox Farm Soil + DWC Humbolt Perpetual

[IN33DW33D]

I link 3 buckets to a rubbermaid tub located outside of the grow room. I started off trying to imitate the waterfarm setup, like this.http://www.sunlightsupply.com/p-11691-water-farm-8-pack-kit.aspx

Load up on grommets, barbed connecters, black 1/2inch tubing and such.

check out my journals or albums for pics of my setup.
I never get over 500 ppm anymore.

Why not? He gets 1200 in veg sometimes and hits 2000 even in flower sometimes and he pulls 10oz a plant all the time.. crazy stuff..

I'll try keeping my stuff low as possible through the whole grow, you may have to yell at me if you stumble upon my journal more

It just works better feeding at lower levels. less root rot, more oxygen, less overfeeding, less money on nutes, more bud.

Do you think my PPMs on all my buckets are fine? I just put the base 3-part nutes in that's all.

The 10 are 2 weeks old (300 ppm)

the 5 are like 7 weeks old (380 ppm)

the 7 i just put into buckets a few days ago (under 200ppm)

the 2 i got from a buddy that had diff nutes at 1000ppm so i just put mine in at the same thing.. lol

Seen some brown on the bottom of some of the roots in the 10 buckets so maybe they need more oxygen.

Yup I did with bleach.

i would put no nutes in and see what they do just plain ph water check the ph daily to see what happens
then after a week change the water and give a light feeding and watch the new growth not the effected aera

I'm trying that with a few of my bad ones. Thanks for the tip.

The girls are getting bigger. Not so fast because I had some ph meter problems that been throwing me off. Here are a bunch of pics I took today.

Soil are doing good. Got about 16 in the bud room in soil and the soil veg room, another 10. Trying to get like 20 more ASAP.

Each bucket has it's own res. I have no idea what I'm going to do when these girls get huge LOL.

PPM

10 clones, 3 weeks old - 350 ppm
7 clones, 2 weeks old - 200ppm
5 clones, alot of weeks old - 400ppm

In the bud room

PPM on both those are 1000

 

[IN33DW33D]

Just a couple pics since yesterday. Growing good now.

Cloned 27 plants today too.

hey dude, just finished reading most of your thread -

the 10 clones at 3 weeks with 350ppm is about right

the 7 @ 2 weeks with 200ppm is too little, give them some more (300-350ppm)

the 5 at "a lot of weeks old" is not enough at all with 400ppm. My 3 1/2 - 4 weekers are at 420ppm (lol)

also I thought I saw where you were adding disproportionate amounts of bloom to gro nutes,

usually its about a 3gro 2micro 1-1.5 bloom ratio during veg - maybe this helps. but it looks like you got them dialed back in for the most part, a huge difference from page 8 to 12, lol.

gl nukka, i respect the hell out of you for going big, or going home. you just gotta have the balls to go all out, and if you're smart then you'll be around to reap what you sew.

PS> another T5 panel. or two wouldnt hurt for your veg room.

I got plans for 2 more T5 panels in the room, just haven't got them yet.

I upped the 7 to 300 like you said, and the (lol) alot of week old ones were low because ive been having problems with them and such. Everything is dialed back in and I think those are at 500 or 600.

I was having some dumb ass issues along with alot of slime issues so I been trying like 20 things a day, everything is going well now - besides the slime. I got some tea brewing for that.

Thanks for stopping by, I still got a 12x12 bud room and 10x11 bud room to fill one day.

Waa.. This whole grow has been a nightmare and I've finally found out why...

The set of nutrients I bought are BAD!

I got slime again past few days and I'm like WTF is going on.. Had so many problems with this grow it's unreal.

So I go over to my buddys house who told me to start using the humboldt line, and his crop looks the same as mine! I was like holy no shit..

We went over to the hydro shop and turns out there was like 4 different people who almost fucked up their grow from buying the same nutrients around the same time.. The hydro guy was a dick, didn't believe it until we opened a new bottle of his, dumped it in water... watched it look good.. then dumped our shit in some water.. and watched it turn into cloudy water.. then said oh sucks to be you.. fuck him..

I just said fuck it today, just going to worry about my damn problems tomorrow.. I got the tea brewin, be ready tomorrow so I hope that will fix my slime and find a way to get more nutrients....

 

[wapow1001]

i had slime issues and i bouught regenaroot by cx hydroponics and some wilt guard and havent seen slime since i am using jngle juice grow micro bloom check out my first dwc

 

[IN33DW33D]

Cut the soil room in half the other day. Will double the size once I get my plant numbers back up. I'm way down since my 2 month struggle.

Got hit hard from the slime again, hit it with tea before it got really bad, so just hoping for them all to come back now.

Some pics of the soils.. I don't use fox farm anymore either.
