my 3 stages of flower

[oceangreen]

So upon reviewing this thread, I decided to roll w/ Nirvana's WW, Sensi Super Skunk, and a little Blue Dream as well for the B'day Promo. I'm not sure if these breeders were the best choice but hopefully I'll be able to keep you guys posted...if interested. LOL. You guys use a particular breeder more than another?

Nirvana is good. try Nirvana PPP.
SENSI WW, and BB(watch out for high ppms).. are real good too

Sorry for all the questions guys, but what do you all use IN ADDITION TO a chiller to regulate rez temps? What kind of thermostat turns pump on and off to the worts/coils? Or do you just set chiller at 68 degrees and let it run? Thx in advance.

I have mine set up on a timer that turns the chiller and pump on once a day for 2 hours which brings brings the temps down to 65. Not sure if I'm hurting my yield but I've never had any issues!

It is. It is. I really have just started getting serious with it and have 3 huge ones cutting this week and 6 going in next system. The buds are like golf balls and dense. Even the upper parts of the branches are much thicker than other strains.

did that come from me?

btw, super skunk is finally going into flower next week.

Well, if it is, thanks my friend

Not a bad idea I suppose to simply turn on chiller and pump once or more per day and lower temp slightly below target. Cheaper option anyways. Thanks.

Super, on another note, why do you suggest no Great White or Pondzyme the last phase of flowering?

Thanks everybody for helping w questions!

George i do believe that it did. Im really excited to see yield on these 3 i am chopping tomorrow, i was just looking at them and i will not be surprised to see 3.5-4 oz per. Still trying to find that strain that will give me 3 pounds every three weeks.

 

[superstoner1]

On that recipe i was using gw and that shit was expensive and i figured that the odds were in my favor the last three weeks of not having root issues. I do use pz in last change now.

Hey Superstoner, I've seen a bunch of your posts though I've never interacted with you personally, and you seem to know your stuff when it comes to aero. So my question is, will a 1056gph pump work for 64 sprayers? The manufacturer claims that the sprayers use only 10-15gph each, but I don't know whether to trust that? Moreover, do you think 64 sites (4x4 table/4 plants per sqft) is too much for a 1000watt? I was initially going to go with 49, but was inspired by another poster on this forum who has great results to go with 64, and trim all fan leaves after 3wk into flower. For the record, I will be going perpetual like you do. Here's a link to the sprayers I want to use http://www.lowes.com/pd_87864-1029-MLM-15_0__?productId=1103193

 

[superstoner1]

Do yourself a favor and get the red misters from berryhilldrip.com. 64 is a shitload in a 4x4 area. Half that should be good. I run 1 per plant. Make sure to use 3/4-1" as delivery manifold to keep pressure up.

 

[legaleyes13]

Well 64 will definitely be a little bit tight, but I will be lollipopping so it's not insanity... at least I hope it won't be. I've done 8'' apart before, but never 6''. Are those sprayers the ones that you use? If so, how often do they get clogged??

Are you saying you are going to run 64 plants per 4x4 feet????

Yes i run the red sprayers. I have never had one clog or if it did it never caused a problem. There is no.such thing as lollipopping that many plants in that small area. You will work your ass off for less yield, trust me.i went from 21 plants to 12 plants in same area with much more yield and much less work. I just never did get that cram as many as you can into a small area idea. All it gets you is small buds.

 

[superstoner1]

Ok guys that three pound barrier is going to be hit sometime soon. I just finished trimming and jarring an ak47 that was dead on 4oz minus a couple test buds. I may be very happy with the ww that were in the same system as they look to be a bit bigger.

 

[legaleyes13]

Like I said, I've done 8'' apart for sometime and it worked out fine, lollipopped just fine. Yes it's a little more work, but I'm generally fine with that. But now that I'm getting back into it I'm doing my due diligence. I respect your opinion and will take your advice and scale it back to 49... Have you ever tried that type of SOG? You mentioned scaling back from 21 to 12, but I don't know how big your area is...

 

[superstoner1]

I run three systems, each with 12 plants in a 6x10 room with 3000w.

I have never asked you this and am not sure why! If you had unlimited space and had 4 1000 watters, how would you set it up? I have it set up as follows per each 1000w!! Four rails with 5 plants per rail for a total of 20 plants per light with about a 5x5 footprint! I harvest tommorow and the next day with new ones going into flower Wed. Am planning on going down to 4 plants per rail for a total of 16 per 1000w! I'm pretty happy with yields but less plants would always be better!

Damn, that's 1 1/2 gpw!!!!!!! That's the same yields I'm getting, 1 pound per week, but I have 1000 more watts!!! Hell, if you get to that point you don't need to even bother with new strains

I would go an extra week on veg and knock the sites down to 3 per rail..

Ok, thanks. That makes sense.
