Welcome all to my newest grow, been in the game a while so I'm no noob but I still need your input, advice and pointers... as i like to say "one pair of hands gets the job done, many pairs of hands gets the job done well" So sit back skin one up and enjoy....
Here goes.....The Plan....Been growing for years, many of them are logged on here, done both varieties, soil and hydro but a few years ago a good friend of mine introduced me to coco, all I have to say is this stuff rules, all the benefits of both said methods but pretty much no cons, so what's not to like. If you haven't tried it, seriously do it, coco-ponics is the way forward.
As far as growing style is concerned I've tried quite a few but the fact I don't live where I grow limits my selection. Infact it pretty much narrows it down to one system.. The Wilma System. Great bit of kit that allows my girls to be fed automatically and I only check on it twice a week. A lot of people are sceptical and some closed minded people have said it can't be done or it will fail epically but I'll tell you this, 5 grows have come out perfect so I'll say it, I don't run to waist I recirculate the nutes. So the Wilma pumps the res up through the pots of coco and then the run off runs straight back into the res.. sounds nuts right?.
Just remember to put NFT spreader matt on the bottom of the pots to stop coco getting in the res.. So call it what you like it works and works well for me..
So here's the equipment List
-X3 Wilma big 4 systems.
X3 600w HIDs, MH - veg, HPS flower
2M x 2M x 2M Dark Room Tent.
250mm Air force 2 extraction fan.
315mm rhino pro filter with reducer to the 250mm Airforce 2.
Temp controlled fan speed controller
.X2 clip on fans
X1 16inch oscillation fan.
Canna coco, full canna coco nutrient range. + additional additives.
Electrics have been done to a very high standard, nothing illegal, not taking any risks
Added a 64amp breaker to the main board, then ran 10mm wiring to a 45amp contactor board with grasslin timer, the board can run 10 600s by timer and has X2 full time switches for fans, pumps etc.
Strain.. Rhino seeds Jack Herer fem. Currently got 1 jack fem in forth week of veg, also have a Power plant fem in first week of veg.
Plan is to veg until big enough to take enough clones to supply the systems and start a new mum, this mother will then be destroyed. This process will then continue time and time again.I am going to veg the cuttings until 10-12inch then flip. 3 weeks before harvest I will take new cuts ready to go in the day after the others come out.
Think thats it.. pics to come
