Ase's Perpetual Fun With Coco

[gr0w]

I'll likely have recirculating going by next summer. I will likely be stopping by to ask a couple questions from ya when the times comes. I like drain to waste because I have the time for it but life is getting busier and I need to have it setup by then.

Hey ase,
Have been tuned in and made a few comments on your journal. Thought I'd share my setup. I have a busy work life and wanted to make a setup with coco that I could be away from without maintenance.

This is my drain to waste setup. Barely need to touch it for a whole week other than to do my daily checks on the pH in the reservoir.

Top feed is on a 20 second timer with a 450gph pump in a 17galon reservoir that pumps nutrients to the buckets that have flow valves to control each plant evenly.
Run off is drained into an old ebb and flow system and then just have it all drain into a separate container using gravity. I then just empty the container once a week.
Plan on making a journal on the system later on as I feel a lot of the coco growers can appreciate the time and effort that went into the system.

That is one of the cleanest looking setups I've seen on here. I'd need to get a larger tent then my 4x4's to pull that off but that wouldn't be an issue. Whenever you get around to making that journal make sure to drop the link in mine so others can learn off of how you did it. I've got a couple setups bookmarked that I really liked and I'm sure I will do a combo of them all. Seems like that's what I always end up doing. Looking forward to seeing that journal.

Yup, that's a real nice set up for sure .

Awesome. The more the merrier. Hopefully it doesn't end up being 50 pages of boring for you but I think I did alright keeping it fun and interesting. I do know I was repetitive at times.

Glad to have you here, enjoy your stay!

 

[Black Thumbs]

Cheers mate,been very informative so far and great looking plants.Another hour or so and I'll be caught up

Yea Ase i had a couple of grows drain to waste before i went with the top feed setup. My Ghost train haze grow was coco drain to waste.

Hi PW. I'm wondering if you have a journal for the ghost train haze? I'm planning to grow these babies next and I'm using full Coco. I'd like be to read it in preparation? Thanks and no worries if you don't! .

I didn't do a journal with the gth, check out Bedroom Farmers early journals. He did coco with drain to waste and a top feed system both

 

[newty]

Thanks! Will do.

The Purple Envy looks amazing, I need to try this plant!

Congratulations on your second POTM win Ase! Very well deserved!

Congrats on a well deserved win Ase!! Like I said before, I don't grow in coco, but I love watching you do your thing in it!! Mad skillz!

 

[Asesino85]

Thanks! Will do.

Bedroom Farmer is a very knowledgeable and innovative person. I've let him post in some of my old threads about his automated watering system that he built. We've had quite a few discussions on theories and he is an experimenter kind of like I am. I Highly recommend reading his stuff as well.

Ase. Love the info. Awesome thread. Ill be lurkin and learnin

Thanks Illizm! Fun to be able to teach now instead of just learn. I really like to research things. It was my favorite part of school. I am still always learning and searching for ways to get better. Hopefully continuing to pass down the things I learn along the way! Lurk or be talkative but if you have any questions be sure to ask. Welcome aboard!

Congrats on a well deserved win Ase!! Like I said before, I don't grow in coco, but I love watching you do your thing in it!! Mad skillz!

Much appreciated Van Stank. Was a fun month to win. There was some good stuff in that one. September is my birthday month and favorite month of the year due to the weather and how gorgeous everything is in Fall.

Flower Day 33 - Veg Day 21

The veg tent is going to start moving quick soon. All of the girls have roots showing at the bottom of the pot. All of them have recovered from the topping at about the same rate. The next few days will really tell where they are at in recovery. Will be letting them all just grow for a while. 3 weeks from seed and I'm happy with where they are all at.

I was able to finally get a decent picture of the Lost Coast OG. She's getting frosty and stacking well for her small size.

The Purple Kush seems to be drinking just a tad bit more than the Purple Envy. I give her just a little bit more water at my 2nd feeding at night. Still stacking well and white hairs everywhere. Starting to see a little frost now but not a ton. All three plants are getting the same feeding so we will see how it finishes. I'm okay with it to focus on stacking for now

Last but not least, the Purple Envy. I'm really hoping to talk Sherry into some more as my freebies for September Plant of the Month. I have two more seeds of it and the next one I will clone but you can never have enough seeds of it. Also I am finally going to get some gorilla glue photo seeds and I'm stoked about it. Anyways, the frost is amazing on this girl. Yes the picture is with a flash on but it still shows where the frost is and there is a lot. She looks really healthy and at halfway in flower I am stoked.

I think you know which is my favourite in those pics. LOL! i can't wait for you to smoke her. I'm pretty confident it will shock you. Just don't pussy out and smoke less than you normally do because you are forewarned. Let her run 70 - 75 days 12/12

 

[Pennywise]

May have to start a purple envy sooner than i had planned, now see what you've done?! Hahaha!

Wow!! I'm in love with all the

I have an odd feeling that it will have similar effects to the Ayahuasca Purple I had. It wasn't like anything me or my buddies have ever smoked. Makes you feel crazy.

I always smoke the same size bowls in my bong. Maybe I won't smoke it as often because it's powerful but I guarantee it'll be the same size as always. Can't wait actually. I like the hard hitters.
