Totemic Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 You asked for a log so this will be the one. I was planning on running another strain, but this clone just happened to be much older than the others, so less veg time. The other part for choosing this Jack, is because I know her very well, and if I can pull off a grow in that space with her, then any strain will do just fine. Temps go as high as 29 when its in the mid 30's outside, so that's perfect. Humidity ranges between 30% - 50%. The medium is coco/perlite ( about 80/20 ratio ), flushed and pre charged with CalMag, and running Hortishop's A+B + MKP. Current concentration is 300ppm with a 2-1-1 ratio ( 1ml/l - 0.5ml/l - 0.5ml/l ), pH'ed to 5.9. The scrog net is 45 x 60cm in size, divided into 117 blocks ( 9 x 13 ).

420SA Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Good to see that you can get that bulb nice and close to the canopy, that'll make the best out of that 250W. Great job on that mobile scrog net too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah smokey. I'll probably be tucking for the next 2 weeks, then flip. Let her stretch for the first week or 2, then tie her down flat on the net. She stretches for about 4 weeks and the colas need to be kept under 30 cm from net to glass. I tell you 420, I got the scrog idea from another very talented grower. Yeah, the 250 is working really well for the space, and the spread is almost perfect for that net size. It does help that the 250 can hover about 5cm above the canopy, since a 250 doesn't really penetrate well, and the sweet spot is at 14cm bulb distance.

Totemic Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hey everyone. 9 days later into veg, and here is a quick update. Her roots have settled now, and I probably have only about 2 weeks of veg left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420SA Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Coming along well Tote! How are you managing runoff drainage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabtzar Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Good work totemic, you will fill that whole screen. You have done it just right. Id estimate +-100g dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Coming along well Tote! How are you managing runoff drainage? Thanks. Well drainage isn't really an issue to me, since the whole scrog is portable. When it is watering time, the plant comes out of the cab, and the pot fits neatly into a 25l bucket. I water...it drains. This also lifts the plant up, and while she is draining I take the time to clean a bit under the net while comfortably sitting on the floor. Good work totemic, you will fill that whole screen. You have done it just right. Id estimate +-100g dry Yeah, the structure of the clone was just right I think. I think I'll definitely be yielding closer to the 150-200g mark. She is a big yielder, but I am limited in my vertical space to let her colas just go, so you might be right, and she could yield less because I need to control the height.

FUGIFA Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks great. What reflective material are you using for the cabinet? And where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks great. What reflective material are you using for the cabinet? And where did you get it? It's sisalation, and available in 30m rolls ,1.2m wide for about R600 at any builders warehouse or other hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Ok, so it's 2 weeks later, and I'm 10 days into 12/12. Her stretch is filling the net nicely. There is at least another week and a half to 2 weeks of her stretch left, so she will form the block that I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabtzar Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 She is looking good there Totemic. Filling out the screen and looking healthy. Clean her "legs". Women with sexy legs are top quality, Anything under the hood wont grow to full potential so I would clean it up so the tops can receive all the energy.

Totemic Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 shot. Yeah, I clean up in phases as the plant goes through the stretch phase, and by 3 weeks into 12/12 all is clear under the net. Finding that adding silicone to the diet right from the beginning in early veg has really helped the leaves build thick, waxy leaves.

Dabtzar Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is the first i'm hearing of this silicone. It seems to assist with Cal-Mag deficiency as well. Ill be trying this one. Have you used Bio-protect? since I have used it I don't get any unwanted pests on my ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemic Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I haven't used it. From your experience, how mild is it to use compared to bio pyrol for example, cause that stuff is just giving me headaches, and destroying perfectly healthy leaves more often than not.

Toby Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice Totemic, very similar to my intention. Im acquiring my gear still. Love the diy vented hood concept. Do you think by using a 15cm extraction fan on similar hood with a 400w hps and a diy carbon filter will suffice for a grow box of (1200mmX600mmX450mm) in a hydroponics environment? With the above in mind, I would like to maintain negative pressure by having the correct passive intake ports in the floor. Also temp and humidity control would be a big factor. Being ANALytical im trying to grow virtually, identifying potential pitfalls I might encounter along the way in my grow environment. Cost is always an issue so rather see what i need when i need as to buy as i need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxwell Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Silica is such a great additive, especially in early veg! I use the additive for hydro and foliar spray, but add diatomaceous to my soil for the Silica content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
