Autos v. Photos - A 5x5 No Rules Fight for Yield: A Jon & NickHardy Gig

This is my penultimate tent grow. 5 gallon pots in a real room with winches and stuff. 16 plants a room. That’s my thing.

Tents not so much.

That’s all harvest??!!!!
WHOA
So wtf did you try to beat me with a Solo cup grow? Good lord you’d have destroyed me with a regular grow.

And yeah I know you do rooms pretty much. Must be nice to have all that infrastructure lying around. Love the drying blue thingies.
 
Off Topic (but plant related)

Some of you guys may remember my prize Raven ZZ. This is my favorite house plant ever and quite the beast. I uppotted her to a 30 gallon container about two weeks ago. A pot I’d never choose, but Mom wanted it. This plant will get as big as the vessel it’s in. In the two weeks since uppotting, just look at the explosion of new growth that has happened!!

Mr Johnson, Mr Ben Johnson travelling with Armstrong - Lance. Please report to the testing department with your Raven ZZ.

The moment that light is fixed I’m upping the EC to 3. C’mon Bugbee. Beardy, lets do this! High EC snell!

Blue drying things are everywhere. Twenty Baht shop. (Dollar Store at the end of out road)

Oh I know, I don’t do them cuz I don’t like flat buds. But lots of people do, most just have the stacked round white one. That’s a setup. And quite the yield, do you know the number, and how many plants? Also on EC - realizing what a great measuring tool it is. Since my reservoirs are staying rock steady, I’m changing them based more on the EC (in ppm) than anything else. Once it falls below 1250 they get changed. These two res plants are pulling about 3” of water daily from their reservoirs, which idk but seems to me to be a ton of feeding. I knew the Apple Fritter would take over and get beastly, but the Gorilla Cookies is a nice surprise. For reference, the Cyco mix at this point is mixed at 1450 ppm, and in another week goes up to 1650 ppm. The Remo is a bit lower so I mix it proportionally hot to raise the ppm to that same level.

You are running the cyco high 😊 more power to you I'll be interested to see how it goes

Was the ec decided on what the Shedster recommended or did you go by past experience? CL🍀

Yeah? I thought I was intentionally being a bit conservative by letting them fall to 1250, but then again I always err on the high side, lol. I based my baselines on their chart, and when I mix a gallon to the letter the EC on my pen is identical to the (currently) 1450 prescribed and promised. I said I’d try the Cyco Platinum system by the book and so far I have on both Cyco plants. And they’re both beastly. So idk. I figure until they tell me otherwise I’m okay to stick with their program.

Thank CL - I’m basing it on their chart and what a gallon comes in at. More detailed answer to Absorber cuz I saw his first.

I originally started off at 1200ppm and it was either Kefka or Waistie that said 600ppm is better and I noticed my plants took up more nutrients instead of just the water as odd as that sounds but if I mixed reservoir to say 500ppm and by the next day the water level had dropped by 15 ltrs but ppm were close to the same ,but when I ran ppm at 1200 the level would drop and ppm would go up ,which was kinda telling me it was taking up more water .
But I definitely don't want to try and influence you at all keep doing your thing .
That's what is cool about this place seeing everyone's approach.
 
Twice a day feeding and warmth, gas and an EC of 2.6 will do that.
Just don't know how you get away with this. Especially with gas. These are the 1gal with perlite?

Are these fed daily?

In this 5x5 they’re 110oz - 0.75 gallons or 3 litres. About 25% perlite the rest coco peat.

Upstairs they’re 5 gallons, yes fed every day, normally for a about a week or two during mid/late flower fed twice a day to run off.

That peat stuff is sneaky... I might have to try it 🤣

I have 400 litres being delivered today/tomorrow a bit less than a single grow, we’ll use about 480-500L on this cycle. About £125/$160 so not too bad, comes with 10% perlite, myco and buffered.

What do you do with it when you are done with it that's a lot of full bins 🤣
 
Have I mentioned my light issue today?

<grumble grumble spit> “darn light company, shipping, customs delays” <grumble grumble spit> “damn commies” <spit> “chy-na” <grumble grumble - hughhch spit>

That’s all on that one. Raised 4 pots. Gosh they’re small. 80cm tops from the dirt. Like zero stretch.
