  • Just jump right in? You're a brave soul. Keep the timer with the 1hr on exactly in between 5.5hrs of darkness or they may start to flower. Good luck hope to see some updates from you before and after!

  • Works great with all plants in veg mode. The tent I have contain seedling to the oldest moms (5 months).
 
Update: Added another tray

I'm 3 trays away from having full capacity (8 trays, 64 plants). Adding in another light in two weeks. The DIY aero clone machine is still working on producing roots (I love that thing), this time only 7 are rooted nicely the rest needs more time.

Oldest tray gets 1200 PPM, and 800 for the new trays. The older ones are flowering nicely.

Hey, bro! I got hipped to ur journals recently, and I must say: Many, Many kudos to you, Sir. Your whole setup is awesome, and damn near my dream, as I start my very first grow. I've looked thru ur threads trying to find a starting point, to see how you came to you current method. I have a couple bags of coco fiber mixed with perm and verm, and I'm planning to start 6 plants from seed. Since I only have one light, but I'm dying to do hempy, I was thinking uf chopping the six plants down to 25-30 clones(completely killing the mothers), root the clones and dump them in hempys. I was thinking to follow 420fied's p/v mix once I get to the 2L stage, but I see you use the coco for that - any comparisons you can make between coco and p/m? Where can I go to see your setup from the ground up?
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me where I can get those bottle carriers? I've been all over the internet and I cant find anything like that anywhere. Thanks so much!!

  • Thanks guys. Just getting started.

  • Appreciate the kind words. I use coco coir because I couldn't find any perlite/vermiculite around where I live, and ordering online cost 2x more due to size and weight. So, I decided to use coco coir instead, there are plenty around here which I can picked up. That's what I did and been happy since. If you can get perlite/vermiculite get those since 420fied is using them and is proven to work. When I get more cash I'll run some p/v to see the differences myself. If you have both coco and p/v then try run 1/2 of your grow with each to see which is better in the end for you. The 2L tray is not necessary, but if you want some thrills get them behind gas stations most leave them out like trash. Have you thought about keeping some moms and have a perpetual grow? What to do with 1 million seeds? Spread them all over the world. DEA will have their hands full cutting them down keeping local growers and dispensaries (if they are still around) alone since they got bigger fish to fry. That's the plan who knows what I'll do in 10yrs.

  • That would be fun. Make it rain!

Given the fact that seeds only last 5-10 years even when frozen, what on earth are you gonna do with all those beans?
I noticed you trimmed a lot of the leaves on your smaller plants, what does that do to help the process?

Where do you get this fact? I just popped some 17 year old beans (non frozen) and had about 85% germination rate. Just keep them cool, dark and dry.

Here I go learning new things everyday. I swear I was under the impression that seeds are only viable for 2 years or so... :lot-o-toke:

I've been all over the net so much in the past few weeks that the info all starts to blur together. I can't tell you where I saw that, but I swore it was in the "how to grow" sticky thread on this site, but as I searched, I couldn't find that posted there - my bad. :nomo:

I love the way your setup looks, T-12. All those airpots and black crates with hempy's filled at the top with hydroton look really clean! I plan to model the looks of my setup after yours, as far as different sized spaces for different stages of growth and general aesthetic appeal. You and 420fied have been huge role-models for me. I'm still waiting for the seeds to start my first grow, but I'm already designing the next step, and I'll continue to modify as I learn more. I'm even searching norml for cultivation laws, to see if any neighboring states have laws that will make things easier on me if I move! What I've seen on this site has lit a fire in me that won't be put out anytime soon(no matter how many bowls I light with it lol)! I will work the perm/verm vs coco showdown into my grow, but I doubt my results will be very conclusive - I'll make tons of mistakes that have nothing to do with the media. I've heard coco attracts lots of fruit flies, do you take any measures to counter this?
PS. how can I change my name to SauronBlue? right now I have no caps :(
