I finally depoted my roots from my 1st 4 ladies..




Surprised ta say the least.


All in the same type 3 gallon smart pots.. Grown together..


All have had all excess coco shaken off..


One is solid and large the other 3 have small solid cores and no roots beyond-none...


The soild one was BATF #2 and had no wick.
A gap formed mid tube atleast a inch wide about a inch down- no roots beyond this inch.


So what do I see here...


2013-04-10 14.30.48.jpg2013-04-10 14.29.49.png

Top feeding was the only reason BATF#2 made it.
No wick top feeding only will get ya lower yields with low volume pulse feeds.


Smart Pots work really well.. This is the best formed none bound root mass I have had yet... Soild yet growing and still drained well.. Healthy...


Now the wicks..


Knowing that plants have a reason to do whatever they do.
Be it grow small or tall - up or sideways and so on...


Im seeing that if the plant is given a soild path to the nutrients they desire.
Then they will only grow the roots needed ta build this path, even if given more medium they wont waste energy building un needed roots.


This exsplains why my GSC is taller than any other yet in a 1 gallon smart pot. (Good wick) and I would bet $ the roots are growing and being air proned.


Otherwise... She would get or already be root bound.


At least thats what I think I see...lol

I'm not a big fan of wick systems in coco, because unless you flush your pots regularly, what tends to happen is the nutrient solution is wicked up from the bottom, then dries out near the top, which leads to excessive salt build-up and toxicity. I learned this the hard way while trying to grow coco pots in a flood and drain system. It worked great for a while, but then the plants started to show signs of nutrient lock-out. The trick was to give them a good flush every few days - but this kinda defeated the purpose of the flood-and-drain system, and that's when I went to run-to-waste - which is the perfect system for coco in IMO.

It also looks like you're drying your bud in your flowering chamber. Try to dry and store it in a darker place if you can, as heat and light break down THC. I always put my plants in a dark, dry spot for 2-3 days before harvest to increase trichome production. It doesn't actually increase trichome production, but rather there is no light to break it down, so it increases through lack of attrition.

Great advice. . Though the PPK with jacks hydro eliminates these coco issues for the most part (almost fool proof)

I do dry in yhe tent with a false wall in place ya block light..
Heat is my main enemy yet the smells make it a must do..
Again.. Good advice...

Thanks for stopping in P.C.

Peace...

Just how many joints will a roller roll, before breaking apart ?

So far about 300 - Might last a 100 more - with a little help from ducktape...
