Hey flowa, as per fucking usual, im loving the updates and the Amsterdam is looking sexy
Just got a couple of questions i was hoping you could answer...
- I've got 2 seedlings that are about a 8 days old. How long would you recommend keeping them in a small planter (like yours above) before moving them to the hempy bucket to vegg?
- I'm gonna experiment this round with a setup like yours... Would you recommend 2x 30l buckets running of a single 80L res?
Any advice would be much appreciated.... cheers
Hey echelon, Thanx for the compliments!
first off i'd keep little clones growing no longer than 8-10 weeks providing you regularly check the roots making sure there is no rot, and this can only be maintained with regular and consistent waterings. I try not to let the roots go through the separator dish inside the pot so the roots don't sit in any stagnant water. I water every day and grow them slowly providing only the minimal amount of food about every 3rd or weekly feed. As i use perlite this will and does dry out fast, so i add some extra hydroton to the mix and this keeps it wet for atleast 1 day in hot weather. I also submerge 80% of the rockwool cube to keep it nice and wet. At this point tracer root are fine to play with and are more resistant to fungus and you grow more tracer roots with more water. Less water = the fluffy root hairs you may know of which is the condition coming from optimum medium conditioning. Tracer roots are like the tap root coming from a seedling, they are waiting to be placed in their medium and will grow slowly and surely, but ONLY under the right circumstances.
I say 8-10 weeks as i'm only using a 13 watt fluro with those 2 clones you seen in the previous pic u showed of mine i grew them with 2 gro-lux tubes a 3000k and 5000k both suited for a good balance. of energy for growth. They won't grow your plant entirely. they are JUST enough for 2 small plants for that time in my opinion. I kept the tubes close as possible to maintain shallow bushy growth while implementing LST and a single top snip at about week 5.
2 pots with 1 res doesn't make enough sense to me, I would use 2 res's while having the 2 joined by another hose so they stay at an even level, but a feed pump in each res traveling to a different plant. If you have 1 res, my theory tells me and from many visual experiences from mates i have seen 2 plants with 1 res always seems to have 1 plant much stronger, unless the root system is in the same res, 1 is going to feed differently. When calculating nutrients this is always based on 1 plant,
unless you are using a tub for aeorponics, or the roots from ALL plants are in the same container.
Not saying you can't but seen the results too many times to think coincidence.
My thoughts exactly ! LoL but sooo worth it later
yes, yes.... i'm not looking forward to that part, but its soon! i'm stinking out my block to the max. + I'm sick of sleeping in the backyard lol The tents fine, but my king size mattress is hard to beat.
Hey Flowa, I'm looking to try and make some bubble hash out of my kief this time and im wondering what size bags you use? I can get a 5 pack of different sizes but unsure if i have to use them all or just one size...i know you've explained it in this thread but i cant find the post..
I bought a 4 bag kit, and make killa hash
I got the 20, 73, 120 and the 220 for the first wash bag, and the 73 micron gives A grade full melt with the taste that only a grower could love.... and gets to
You won't find a better way to make hash, its a superior way beats dry ice by a mile.
Amsterdam gold!! day 20 flowering.
and while raining today buds were mere inches from the ground.
