__DANNY__H__ Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Your hydro babies are looking good, 420SA. Really shows the power of water-soluble nutrients, lol. I've seen CO2 generators like that one before, greenkush; do you have any idea how much CO2 they generate in total (per bottle) or as a function of time? I imagine these biological processes are not going to be quite so efficient at delivering CO2 as just slow-releasing a bottle of the stuff.

So you can literally have has many as you like or just make one in 5mins.

420SA Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Quick update The organics got their compost tea on Sunday. Just a straight forward brew with ewc and molasses only. Started the brew on Friday night Almost time to flip the original 5 plants and get the newly potted clones into their own veg tent.

A little worried about whether those 20L pots will be enough for the organics to be honest, especially without any substantial feeding... but will see, perhaps I may have to get some Biobizz as backup. The hydros will be fine. Will be flipping to 12/12 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks dude. I'm still a bit nervous about the organics towards the latter stages. You're trying a similar recipe right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never grown hydro and will be attempting / building my first hydro setup in the coming weeks. All the hydro coolers i've looked around for cost in the region of around 9K...

I think you're under the impression that I'm growing in deep water culture which I'm not. Just growing in coco/perlite, top feed drain to waste. Never grown in DWC personally.

420SA Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Today is flower day #1 for the original flowering plants. They stay in the large tent and the clones have gone into a 80 x 80 tent to continue with their veg. Theyre under a LED floodlight temporarily until I get a 250w MH in there, probably tonight. Gave the organics a feed yesterday with coconut water. The other clones have rooted and gone into their pots. So here's the clones that have been added to the lineup: P.O #1 clone - in hydro P.O #2 clone - in hydro P.O #3 clone - organic B.K clone - organic A.S.D clone - organic Each plant has its clone in the opposite medium Here's the original plants pre switching to flower.

Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Shit dude not quite sure what the fack you just said there but I'm assuming you're asking if that's perlite? Yes it is. I use a normal flat bottomed plastic container for clones. I don't like to leave the clones sitting flat on the bottom so i "suspend" them on a layer of perlite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So suspending them on some perlite gives them the opportunity to root out the bottom of the block also I take it.

420SA Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Howzit guys. My first ever legal grow diary update Day 15 of flower I got home yesterday from a week's trip away. Was a little worried about the heat side of things seeing as there were 2 days where the temps hit 40 degrees this side. Was especially worried about the hydros... once the medium goes dry things go south rapidly. Luckily all was fine though. All the pots, including the organics, were very light but the plants weren't showing signs of under watering just yet. They were all watered and fed this morning. As expected, hydro is catching up to organic now and I'm pretty sure that the hydros will be ahead of the organics, in terms of growth, in a weeks time. That being said, the organics are still going great and I can't fault them at present. They've outgrown the size of their pots and that does worry me a little bit. As I have said before its a worry of mine. I'm just hoping the soil can power them through. The clones in the veg tent are coming along well. Will give an update on that when I have a chance tomorrow The organics looking good and healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420SA Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Day 28 of flower Been a crazy week here in Nelspruit. Had about 3 days of temps hitting 39 and all of a sudden a freezing cold day yesterday, with snow in some parts of Mpumalanga. Madness The plants are starting to bud nicely now, well most of them are at least. The P.O growing in hydro seems reluctant to get into the swing of flowering and is putting out minimal pistils. Far less than its organic counterparts. Something strange about that pheno but let's see. Otherwise I'm happy with the rest of the plants in the tent. The 2 organics are still looking healthy, they got another compost tea 2 nights ago. The sour diesel is putting on a lot of frost now and smelling magical. Already looks like a keeper. The Blue kush is looking alright, although not really putting out any trichs just yet. Going into week 5 now and I'm going to be sticking a 400w HPS in the tent as well now. Happy Friday guys. Hope you all have a good weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420SA Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Are you running an AC with those temps? Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk I'm not hey which is why you can see heat stress on the sour diesel if you look closely at the photo. I'm running the light from 18h00 to 06h00 which does help me get away with it but with the addition of the 400w things could change... It's the cost of running the AC that worries me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
