Starting my drip system

saltroc · Jan 20, 2008

Hello growers,

Just wanted to give you guys an update. I officailly started my drip today Woo Hoo. So that gave me a little more room in my veg now. I will bloom one more in 2 weeks. I am going to keep 2 or 3 for the moms. I also dont recommend amsterdammarijuana they ripped me off. So I put in a order of white satin with WWMS and it got to me in like 6 says so I was stoked, ill germinate 5 and keep 5 for later if I ever move. My soil plants are on day 32 of bloom, sorry pic is bad. Any replys are welcome.

Thanks
SALT

Hey what do you keep your PH at? Also what about your EC what do you like to keep that at?

saltroc · Jan 21, 2008

Hello,

Thanks for your question. I keep my PH between 5.8-6.0. That seems to be the sweet spot. As for my EC I dont even worrie about that, Ive never check it nor do I have the tools to check my EC. My grow seems to do fine without it.

Thanks
SALT

Hello Growers,

Just want to give you guys some pics and an update. So mad at myself this morning I set my clock for noon because my feeding is at 12:20, so that gives me time to check the PH. Well I over slept yikes I woke up in a panic at 1:30, so the damage was done. I go look at my plants and a couple of the dam leaves were curling down, I was so pissed off at myself. So I adjusted the PH and ran it for like 7 minutes. To my suprise the leaves eventually started to go back to normal, and now they only have a slight curl which should go away by next feeding. It just goes to show how sensitve these plants are, but also makes me love rockwool even more, had that been soil I think it would have been so much harder to fix it, because I wouldnt want to flush and drown the plant which is pretty easy to do in soil to fix the problem, and more damage could have been done before I could fix it. Rockwool I was able to fix the problem right away without drowning my plants, Im loving it more and more each day. Here are some pics of my plants 2 days of bloom. Also cloned 4 plants from the plants I had in veg, 3 of the 4 were from the top of the plants, had to do that or else my plants will take advantage of me and take up all my grow space. Well hope you enjoy. Any comments or question are welcome.

Thanks

Hello Growers,

Just another update. I thought that the leaf curling was due to watering it with the wrong PH. But the leaves are not recovering. The new growth seems fine its just couple of leaves that are curles like in the picture. Anyone have a suggestion? Here is the little soil and the big soil after 35 days of flowering.And also the sea of green in my veg room, Its getting crazy in there the fan leaves a huge. Any comments Questions are welcome.

Thanks

Hello,

I just wanted to show you guys a pick of the young one. Basically how I found this seed to the young one, is how I found the seed that I'm using in my current grow. I have a med license so I go to the dispenserys, well for good weed its like 75 dollars an 1/8th. So I found 1 seed in batch of sour apple. So I germinated it papertowel method, and is now in rockwool. I was lucky my first seed to be a female I hope this one will too.

Thanks

Hello Growers,

Just a update. Here is a pic of the plants they have been in bloom for 9 days and starting to see some hairs. Figured out it is a sativa plant. It has grown some inches since being in bloom. Here are the ones in veg they are looking great even after topping a few. And here is the little one, she is pretty skinny. Any questions comments feel free.

Thanks

your clones look really good. covering up the blocks is one of the best things to do when using rockwool.i i used those covers on the last batch of clones i cut. they rooted almost a week faster then the other 2 batches. they don't work too well with drippers tho, have to expose more to allow for the stake. hows that one flowering plant in soil?

Hello Growers,

A bit has happend since I last left you guys. So memeber my leaf curling? Well the next day of feeding it got worse so obvious something in the water, I was still using half veg nutes, water was PHed, but I was using 20+ plus drops to adjust my PH, so a lot of my leaves fried. So I went to the hydro store and got a higher concentration of PH down, This stuff will burn a hole in your hand lol. So now I have the plants at half bloom nutes and is recovering and not showing anymore leaf curling or frying and is in the second week of bloom and showing signs of flower. Also moved two more plants to bloom, I will be feeding them half veg nutes for a week then switch to half bloom. So now I got 3 plants still in veg gonna use 2 for cloning and flower one more eventually. Here is that one seed that we found in our sour apple tranplanted it to 4x4x3 cubes I like these alot better more stable versus the 3x3x4 Im using now. Here is the soil plants 45 days of bloom cant wait to try some look like a very good sativa. Which is what I like to :joint:

. Comments questions are welcome.

Thanks

Hello Growers,

Thanks o2hustler for your comments. I made some mistakes on the way myself lol. Here is an update on my grow. The plants to the left are recovering great, but have many worrier scares from the PH episode, is in the 15th day of flowering still feeding it half bloom nutes, will switch to full in a couple of days. The two plants on the right have been in bloom for 2 days and still feeding it half veg nutes will switch to half bloom nutes in 5 days. Here is the sour apple plant it is looking great hope it is a female. Any comment are welcome.

Thanks

Hello Growers,

Just wanted to give you guys an update. Here is sour apple 13 days of veg looking great. Moms in veg look healthy. Here is the pics of the plants in the 17th day of flowering and is starting to really fill in, I'm sure if I didnt mess up the plant and had to flush for a couple of days the buds would even be fatter. Not the prettyest plants but there budding and they are frosty that all I care about. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks

Hello Growers,

Just another update. The first two pics are my big soil plant, I couldnt get a great picture of the other small soil in bloom. They have been in bloom for like 51 days and I am starting to flushing with water. The next 2 pics are of the four plants I have in hydro. The two on the left have been in bloom for 19 days and switching to full strength bloom nutes. The two plants on the right have been in bloom for 6 days I am now switching them from half veg nutes, to half bloom nutes for a week.The next two pics you see are some close ups of the ones on the left flowering. The last two pics are of the veg room, had to cut the moms they were getting out of hand, and here is the sour apple looking great 15 days of veg. Hope you all like. Any comments are welcome.

Thanks
