I haven't herd of Flooming before. I will have to check it out. In my Flower room I have the roots suspended in the nutrient solution with a air stone.
This is a root ball at Harvest time.
I just wanted to show you what I have found that works best for me.
Yes, I did look at flooming.....Haha we try to do our best to give the ladies the best condition possible
Did you have time to look at the flooming?
From what I am reading is that fooming is moving water from the bottom to the top. Did I get that right? Here is what a air stone does in a 5 gallon bucket.
When the bubbles go up it moves the water as well.
Way over my head
To change the nutrients I just pull up on the lid and the plant and air stone goes into a bucket that has the new nutrients. I drain the old stuff out and clean out the bucket for the next time.
They look a lot better after the trim. They are looking great now!!. Now you know what not to do in the future. That is how life trains us. Either you learn from your mistakes or you keep doing them.Hi guys,
After 10 days of hanging down drying, I trimmed the second tutankhamon tonight. I didn't have the courage to start the blue dream.
I truly encourage dry trimming! Wish I had trim bag but it s too expensive. You just have to touch the leaves from the bottom to the top multiple times to see them fall so easily. The buds remain wetter so don't fall along with the leaves. It makes trimming so easier! Plus it makes it also easier to differentiate leaves from flowers
I have also finished the rockwool prep :
I have also cut small pieces of my coco mat. Goal is to cover the holes with them so that the seeds can be in the dark once planted. I could have put straight coco medium or soil on top but the advantage of the pieces of coco mat I cut is that they are so small and super light weight! So while blocking light to allow germination, the little babies will later be able to reach the light without having to fight to much gravity pressure while being in a well aerated and moist environment! The goal behind is also to prevent light from reaching the rockwool to avoid algae.
The coco pieces will fill the holes. There is a bit less than 1 inch between the top of the rockwool and the one of the cocomat. This should allow a good humidity for the first seedling days as the coco mat retain a lot of water (and oxygen as well).
Can t wait to start!
Next update will be blue dream trimmed and dry weight
I think your system is intriguing and can't wait till the new system is up and running with the girls
This marks the end of this journal
To sum it up :
Green crack : 60g
Tutankhamon #1 : 30g
Tutankhamon #2 : 40g
Blue dream : 96g
I didn't keep the smallest popcorn buds
When I start my next grow I ll make a new journal. I ll take time to put all the information about my pots and system but also all the links I had provided about lights, rockwool, flooming, etc... All in the first page. I also put as many pictures with little comments to avoid big posts with tons of words!
Thanks for your support guys!
I use a portable AC unit in my room when the temps get too warm. I use a 10,000 BTU unit and I have the exhaust go through the chimney. I chose a higher BTU than what is needed for a 10 by 10 room because I will have the AC run 24/7. I don't want the AC unit to over heat. I set it at 75 degrees and all is good.You got to make sure that the lights are covered or your plants will start to seed.
In fact in my previous grow my green crack made seeds. It was too hot in the grow space. I m thinking of buying an ac. I m looking for a cheap one
