Hey man I read through and your system is nice and the plants looked great along with that product.
I was seeing that you are having a problem seperating the roots because the plants are in the same veg container. If you make it a habit to pull the plants up every now and then it will help with that problem. Roots shouldn't be too long in veg so it won't be a hassle.
Or if you want I'm not sure what your vegger looks like but if you go with a double stacked bin set up like a stink bud design and run some lp aero misters off the water pump it will keep the roots separated more and still provide water to the plants when there small. As the roots grow they go right into the water for a dwc/lp aero design. Plants grow great and its what I did for a while. Still do really.
good suggestion!..i think with the setup i have my vegger is the same tub i use for my areo cloner just intead of 35 net pots it only has 4 the roots tend to tangle right around the second or third week theyre in there. I never really thought of just pulling them up every few days to keep them from tangling im in there everyday anyways so i might as well add that to the list of things I go about doing...as for building a new system I actually plan to veg my plants in an actual 5 gal DWC bucket when i build the next room..my veg plants are just in a small room maybe like 15x6 its an unfinished bathroom in the basement..I plan to throw up a wall downstairs and section a new area off to create a second flowering room this way when I dont share a room with my ol man anymore he can take over both rooms and they will be already set up the right way for him..
the vegger right now sucks in two ways the roots tangle and they are not big enough to use the 5 gal bucket lid net pots so they are in 8 inch net pots that i transfer over to the bucket lid style..my "custom" bucket lids have the bottom cut out of them about an inch smaller than the 8 inch nets so they just sit right inside the lid pots and i can fill around it with hydroton
UPDATE***
so as of now all the plants with root damage are about 70-95% back to normal the two that didnt get it too bad are fine lil growth loss and stress stunting but they should recover just fine the other two that were damaged a lil more have finially perked back up and lost a lil more veg off them but willl make a full recovery by next week luckily they were the largest plants out of all of them and the littlest plants and slow growing GDP got an extra week to catch up..Ill get some pictures of the white fire seedlings in here to at some point
new "computer style" graff tag
420science jars 100% gaurenteed for life good buy these are the mediums and can hold half oz or more depending on how dense your nugs are it can hold a oz of my pre'98 since the buds are like rocks
my new barrel/scope the ol man got me for my 870..now i got a wingmaster 870 magnum with 28' barrel for goose/small game, a 18 inch rifled slug barrel with iron sights for pushing deer, and my new 24' fully rifeled slug barrel w scope soon to be sighted in at 200 yds to snipe the biggest buckets on the property lol which i didnt get a crack at with the gun yet..dumped a 5 pt i thought was a six earlier this year in bow at 30yrds and seen a few monsters at like 70-90yds during bow but no luck on the big boys next year tho I've found a better spot on the 1500 acre farm that butts up to the left side of my property that im going to hunt seeing that the new farm owner doesnt know the property lines at all and there are no markers so ill be pushing about 50-60 yards further off my property and will smoke a big boy opening day of bow season gaurenteed which id rather shoot a monster with my bow..its more of a true hunt than a 150yrd shot on a buck that took no skill in stealth or windage to get
heres the full room dropped the lights to be about 2.5-3 ft from the plants now since theyve been in there about a week and they have started to really grow quick
left side we got 2 unknown cc plants ill just call chemy since they seem to be a chemdawg cross and the two in the back l-r power kush and GDP
4 more GDP really bushing out!
right side up front left is the pre 98' bubba just kicking ass next to the GDPs is deff the best growing in the garden itll be neck and neck with the GDP for healthiest plant but probably yeild the best out of all of them due to the rediculously dense buds it produces
next two shots are the pre 98' bubba this plant has become a real keeper easy to grow flowers quick was ready around 55 days but i let it push to 9 weeks if i can keep the bud rot off her
the shared side these are the ol mans dirt plants which have been in soil about a month longer than mine have been in hydro itll be nice to show ppl a comparision run with the same strains next to each other in dirt and hydro..I took the GDP and power kush clones (along with the others at same time) from these plants when they were just big enough to cut clones and im talking 3-4 inch tall clones I think my GDP was only about 3 inches tall when i put it in the vegger a so these plants were about 2-3 weeks old when my clones were thrown in the areo 2 weeks in there then vegged in the veg room for about 3 weeks so id say those plants are almost 2 months old (veg time) and mine are about a month of veg ..really shows the immense growth rates of hydro and skilled growers id say another few runs and ill be running plants that look like yours nitro!
my daily gear lol
this is a sweet one hitter my ol lady got me for xmas its hand blown glass with copper on the outside never seen on like it and it was also a showcase peice from a local glass blower around my area..I love one hitters cuz i dont smoke a ton of weed I'm passed the point in my life where i need to be retarded all day everyday I just smoke enough to be stoned and ease my mind but still be very funtional in my day to day..but I lost my old one that i loved havent seen it in a few years and the ol lady really only likes to smoke joints so she got me a new better one for my day to day
heres the same strain only difference between the 2 is one was hydro one was dirt and the hydro plant went an extra week compared to the dirt
hydro snowdawg
dirt snowdawg
hope everyone had a good safe xmas i know michigan was crazy we got a terrible ice storm xmas eve and i was on the freeway for over 2 hours on a 35-40 min drive going a max speed of 25-55 at times and then yesterday it took me 3 hours to get a part for my plow from a store 30 min away lol ...youd think ppl in michigan would be used to the snow storms its like spring and summer come and ppl 100% forgot how to fucking drive i almost go into and accident b/c some guy felt the need to pull out of his drive infront of me and couldnt get traction and i couldnt stop luckily his little shit car grabbed earth and got out the way before my diesel 350 smashed his dumb ass lol...
Ill get some pics of the wifi as soon as i get my plow fixed gotta tear the pump out and replace it
OOOHHHHH!!!!!
