FLO - by Dadio

Here are a few pics of my plants that I have flowering.
This FLO girl has been flowering for about 4 weeks , so 4 weeks to go. I took two rounds of clones from her before putting into 12/12 . As you can see ..... the base of the plant has almost filled up the entire 1 1/2 " hole in the center. This is in a 4" rockwool block on top of a 6" block.
The third pic is showing the roots . Massive roots happening.

I will still be using a 600W HPS, and Flood and Drain method. With just one plant , she is getting massive.


Major life happenings in my house that I won't go into . Just got sidetracked and lost focus with my growroom for a bit. Spider mites tried to kill everything. I was able to save one girl and this is her . Used her to clone a few and need her to flower. I bought this stuff from my hydro shop call AZAMAX . Awsome stuff. I used this every three days for two weeks. Now I use once a week to keep em gone.

While I have my current grow downsized ...... I am thinking of gutting the closet and remodeling. I would like to add another 600W HPS and another T5 light set to veg.
One T5 for cloning , one T5 for vegging , and two HPS lights so I can stagger the harvests every 4 weeks.

Man she looks like a sequoia up close. Nizzzze

Thats some crazy shit dadio.. Awesome

Great !! Dont mind me asking how long did you veg her?

thanks for the comments.

Okay , a little more info on this grow.
This little started out as a clone that overcame a few problems so I will call her a surviving runt.
She was vegged for about 8 weeks after recovery but I took two rounds of clones from her taking from the tops. She was a bushy 14" high when I put her into flower. Yesterday was the beginning of week 5. She is at 42" tall and about 30" wide. Major buds are happening. I also have some smaller plants ( 3 ) that I just added at week 4. They were only about 12" tall but we shall see what happens. Right now , I am using Botanicare CNS 17 to feed my girls. I have been giving this a try as it has all the base nutes a plant needs in one bottle. No mixing all kinds of bottles and having to measure. Then as for additives , I am adding Botanicare silica Blast and GH Liquid Kool Bloom. Thats it. Keeping it simple. With these 4 girls , this is the last time I will be stacking a 4" block on top of a 6" block . I am going to go back to using the bigger 6" blocks. these seem to be the perfect size blocks to grow a plant in.

Why the change in stacking the blocks. I was actually thinking of trying it. A couple people suggested it to me. so i'm curious if i should even bother. Hell, it was your journal that got me to do my first flood table. probably going back to it after my DWC grow is done.

If you have the time for vegging , then stacking a 4" cube on top of a 6" block is a great way to get more root mass . As you can see from the pic , roots go crazy.
As for MY cutting down on the 4" blocks , I'm just playing with the cabnet. Hell , I'm even thinking of trying the big 8" blocks some day soon. lol
If you do decide to stack the blocks , I do recommend that you water by hand from the top for a couple days. During flood cycle , just take a cup and scoop water to pour over the top. you want to make sure the roots are getting fed.
