I would like to play a little game to give my 8 babies the love they deserve for surviving my 1st hydro run
Who can guess my yield?
Currently flushing answer will be revealed in about 3-4 weeks
Now the details
Strain - iced grapefruit
Tent - budbox pro xxl hl 1.5mx3mx2.2m
System - green man combi (dripper & RDWC)
Medium - from x stream to 100% hydroton
Lights - 4x kingbo 600w (240w) leds & 1x lumatek zeus pro 600w
Feed - RO water, dutch pro grow/bloom soft, vitalink cal mag, vitalink silicone max, dutch pro explode & silver bullet roots
In week 4 of veg I had root rot due to not knowing about sterile resmy plants looked like shiy ready to die but by feeding 5ppm of toilet bleach into the res then after 2 days removing the net pots and deep cleaning everything in the toilet with a brushmatik and washing up liquid my plants came back stronger than ever in total about 7 weeks veg including recovery time after this i got silver bullet roots which is cheap and worked amazingly the max PPM i went to in veg was 800
After cutting off infected roots hanging out of the mesh pot nee roots formed that were crystal white but barely hung out of the net pot (take this into account with your guess as the root mass wasnt nowhere near what it could be
Weeks 2-6 of flower I was using 1200ppm feed which for 150litres of RO water was a consistent 75ml explode 1000ml A+B 150ml silver bullet 15ml silicone
They were being fed by the DWC for 1 hour on 30mins off 1 hour on 30 mins off but the dropper was only running for 15 minutes every hour and a half then once in the middle of lights out
As you can see they are scrogged with a very densely populated pond net which i cut into 2 pieces originally it was lagging pretty bad but I used ratchet hangers around the poles threaded through the net to pull it tight and create an even canopy
They were only topped once
Last thing I think is worth mentioning is the amount of area used, they are not scrogged to cover the full 1.5 x 1.5 on each half of the tent here there are 4 under the kingbos covering 1m x 1m and 4 under the lumatek covering 1m x 1m the plants are all 40 inches tall and on average 55 inches wide with plenty of weight on the bottom and on the inside
240w x 4 = 960w of kingbos + 600w of lumatek zeus pro = 1560watts
Happy guessing
