7 strains on the go at one time... your canopy will be all over the place hahahahahaa...

I have that problem too with both the different strains and different aged plants in the perpetual room... i just work backwards from the lights with them all starting off on top of buckets then smaller pots then the ground... its a total pain hence why trying to find 3 strains ... two for cash.. one for me...

 

[ae86 grower]

i like them even, just makes life easier on raiseing the light and setting the circ fan, hell of alot of extra work setting them on upturned pots etc, been there too chris, if your after a cash strain.... why not the big bud or something like it, volume would be the key there i would think,not grow out enough strains to really help you there, i kinda find one i like and stick too it..

best so far is the lemmon haze, even tho its long flowering son of a biatch.......

 

[ae86 grower]

breaking bad tonight..... wonder if dave is still following it on tv aswell, or if he`s gone to the dark side and watched online hahahaha if your out there dave hope all is well...

 

[splifchris]

Yeah... you know your self when you get past the initial learning stage and get those costly fuck ups out the way... basically where im at now... getting a pretty constant maxed out gram to watt ratio... most of the strains if tried over the last 12 months have been coming home on target... so thats why i gave the blue dream a go as its ment to be one of the higher yielders.... gonna give the lemon haze another go in the small room in 3 months time which will be just perfectly cured for xmas!!! Still think lemon diesel my fav all rounder for cashish making....

 

[ae86 grower]

oh for sure i`ll be going with the haze again and could be a good cash crop for the christmas, couldn`t sell myself, i`m a bit like golum when it comes to weed hahahahaha..

a haze tho for yeild???? are they the best bet? the blackjack from nirvana is a yeilder got almost three oz a plant under cfl when i grew it, under a hps it would be a heavey yeilder...

again i`ve never used one in practical terms but, i know the one in this lappy is silent and the thing is on from morn till night, never gets hot either...


man i`d be pissing myself if i had to keep the res sorted by eye, thats why i`m staying in soil, that and i`m too lazy....

The ph is not a problem anymore since i switched to flower and the sensi bloom A&B ph perfect, the ph stays at 5.8 never drifts too far so that stuff does a good job for no ph hassle, just really need a good ec meter and ill be sorted,

to be honest after growing in soil and especially coco this bucket is way way less work and really easy, i was making a bottle of food everyday for coco and getting ec and ph right and having to flush the plants every so oftan it was a nightmare compared to this hydro bucket. make a batch of food once a week and top it up when it drinks some and thats prity much it, so far so good i wont be going back to soil again anyway

you run a bubbler in it or airstone etc, not too up to date on hydro spec`s.. but did read i guide before (school project type) and they had it wick up the nutes no airstone..

The air stone and pump are not great as they make big bubbles and make alot of noise but these submersible pumps make alot of very small bubbles which oxygenate the water better and are prity much silent as they are inside the bucket and under water, no outside pump running!

i have a spare pump and airstone but i wont be using it unless my good pump fails

[ae86 grower]

have an airstone here from a aquarium, makes small bubbles and yours if you want it.. its a good one the dad had in his tank, gave it to me when the kids wanted a fishtank but they went off that idea when they got some gold fish so no need for the hot water tank..

Hey lads Starbucks was giving away free used coffee grinds for your garden would it be good for weed? Picked up a bag anyways just in case =)

 

[ae86 grower]

possibly dg, have read before about cold tea (without milk and sugar) working wonders for a droopy plant, and my dad has suggested it too, on a different subject, so i suppose there is a use for them somewhere, be intrested to see what the guys think...

Gonna do a bit of reading when I get home be good if theres benefits, and for free bags of it I like that price lol

 

[ae86 grower]

just from looking at the pic and reading the back of the pack, it looks like it would be great stuff for vegging plants, like i said i have read about the benifits of tea so its a do-able thing but weather anyones done it before i don`t know....


hows the weather up your way? pure shit day here windy and pissing down..

[ae86 grower]

i`d wait till you read up first, or add it bit by bit so as not too overload them...

Ah yeah I won't do anything till I find out

Thanks man but i bought two of the submersible pumps incase anything happens one of them and i have an aquarium and airstone like yours, the submersible pump doesnt really make bubbles in makes a very fine mist which makes alot of oxygen compared to the airstones,

dublingrower let me know how you get on with the coffee grinds cause i drink so much coffee with beans i grind everyday that i could have a bag everyweek for my garden outside

Will do mate been doing a bit of reading so far so good people saying it's great for plants high in nitrogen and it helps with ph level of soil also good for keeping away slugs and pests for outdoor use anyways, people being using it for years on there tomatos and other plants still reading...
