I think the popularity of hydroton is due the the consumer friendly turn key packages that are now offered. I'm not dissing hydroton, but after a RW grow you can dry it out and compost it. I'm gonna dry mine out and run it through my chipper.

What the heck would I do with two 4x8 trays of Hydroton. Good lord. :shock:

You're really got me reconsidering my next grow. What are the draw backs of running two strains? Obviously the one of them will be a little happier than the other.
if you do run 2 strains. separate the 2. if you have 2 trays then do one on one tray and one on the other. if you only have 1 tray then separte them into 2 sides. dont do the stupid thing like i did on my last grow.... my yield suffered greatly.

I didnt say anything about filling the trays with it... watching a friend with 25 1gal containers filled with hydroton on 4x4 ebb and flo tables, works very well. there is no need to fill the rest of the tray with hydroton...

Five to 6 pounds. With some more tweaking up to 7 or 8 pounds. IMHO Lower the humidity a little, increase temps to 88 to 90, keep day and night temperature near the same (within 10 degrees max difference), increase CO2 to 2000 ppm, short frequent watering cycle, eliminate the fan blowing on the plants and use heat tubes (PVC pipes in the corners to blow cooler floor air that is higher in CO2 back up to above the plant canopy). Keep the light thermal out put as low as possible with strong cool air movement through the tubes and get the light as close as light thermal output will allow as long as they are high enough to evenly spraed the light over all the plants. As long as you have adequate calcium ppm the fan postion is not needed to strengthen the plants stems so it is really a debit. As is the fan will neccesitate that the humidity be as high as you suggest which in all actuallity just lowers transpiration. Doing away with the fan will allow for a slightly lower relative humidity and therefore will increase transpiration and respiration. It does very little good to supply supplemental CO2, high heat and good nutrient/water supply if you slow down the respiration with a high humidity. Once you get things running well lower your relative humidity just a small amount and see how much more nutrient water you go through. Lower t both the tempearture and the humidity for budding. Say 80 80 85 degrees and relative humidity of 40% and evem lower for the last tow eeks. Increased water uptake means increased tranpiration and respiration. Increased transpiration and respiration means more growth. However with incraesed water up take you also need to lower the EC. Just drop the relative humidity a few points (3 or 4) at a time until the plants show signs of inadequate water or until the plants quit taking up increased levels of water. With indica and afghani strains you will be quite surprised at the increased water/nutrient up take under maxed out conditions and lowered relative humidity. They are from a hot dry climate after all. While in their native lands they perform better when the get coastal winds bringing in increased CO2, the researchers found they respond to the increased CO2 brought by the winds not the increased humidity of the coastal winds. Winds in areas further away from the coast also provide the same benefits and thet are dry winds.

Don't do the thing with putting the tall plants around the edges and the shorter under the center of the light that is commonly done by a lot of growers using large wattage bulbs. Instead if your tray watering system will allow just raise the trays up that contain the short plants. It makes no sense to place the best growing plants out to the edges if they are the plants best responding to the conditions supplied. Movu ing them to the edges is pemnalizing them for growing better. Doesn't make sense. I digress.

At least 5 pounds, likely more than less.


OKAY I HOPE YOU LEARNED NOT TO ASK FOR ANYONES ADVICE ON ROLLITUP! The polls are all around the same answer thast funny as shit.. its looks like everyones taking a guess because they just want to ''act'' like they know what they are talkign about. SO a little advice, Dont take advice from these kids on this site... get a GROW BOOK. :weed: These people will take you in the wrong direction with your plants bro ..trust me I grow medically for a dispensary in LA .

Doesn't everyone grow for a dispensary in LA? :mrgreen:

how long do you got till harvest? im no expert but i think 3 seems like an under statement which is cool still, but it looks like it will streach more. They are amazing right now

Still, 3 is nothing to turn ur Nose up @.. Wats the plan for all that Sticky-Icky?
will be split amongst family. might take a little to the club see how it stacks up against the other strains they have.
It's all head smoke :bigjoint:
lol. ALOT of it is.:weed:

will be harvesting sometime after week 7. maybe week 8. not exactly sure yet. a few people have said that the last 2 weeks it swells alot and its a strain that can go upto 10 weeks. ill determine that when i get closer to harvest time after examing trichs.

couple pics i snapped tonight. enjoy.

I'm 30 days +/- on my grow. I'm considering something similar for my next. Can you clarify a few things for me

You have trimmed to grow just the main cola correct?

As of this photo on 12/25 how many days into flower were you?

Your total veg time?

I tried re-reading the thread and came up with what I think is a 45 day grow with 30 days of flower?

yes i have determined to grow just the main cola. as of the photo on 12/25 im 25 days into flower. my grow started on the 13th of november. and i switched on dec 1st to flower so there was 18 total days of veg. today is day 26 of flower. day 43 total i think. i have it all written down.i have to look in my journal.

love the set-up

i love to see hard work
thanks. i have worked real hard on this grow.

can u please post a pic on your clone step up....
ok no problem. ill post some later. its a really simple setup.

hey bob i havent changed my res since my last change. which i think was when i switched to flower. im trying to go the whole grow without changing it. they seem to be doing ok. it went up to 2.6 a couple of days ago. but i filled up with ph'd water and brought it back down to 2.1. they seem to be doing ok. if i see any sign of stress or nute deficiency i will change it.

We are basically on the same time line. I vegged for two weeks and topped, my plants at 30 days into flower are almost 3ft.

I'm wondering how your height is down that low. They look to be under 18". Maybe its the difference in strain. My avi photo is from a week ago.

I want to do this grow but am worried about height. If I grow them without topping they would be even taller than 3ft.

Thanks for those answers ;-)

probably due to strain. this is a indica strain that stays short and squat and branches alot. what type of strain are you growing?

I'm so happy I stumbled upon your thread! Ive Been contemplating this exact setup as my dream grow for a few months now, and this confirms my thoughts. I cant wait to get started! Awsome job:clap:!!! looking forward to seeing your results, and I bet you'll get at least 4 lbs:weed:. ++REP
