Wow Canna, things are progressing so fast in there! You are going to harvest before me! I am very impressed with how things are going. We need to re-think ProfessaCanna, and consider MasterCanna, MC for short ;)

I can't wait to see the pots you make. I am very happy with the fabric pots, and am finding they dry out much more evenly. They are just a bit tricky to water, I am liking Lester's method of watering a little, then watering the rest. I was quite surprised how hard it is to find 'how much' water to give. I found something Johh705 had posted a while back, and he said 8-10 Liters for 7 gal, so I did the equivalent for a 5 gal (~5.6L) and I think that was still a bit much, despite that I went with the 8 rather than the 10 for my math. Maybe when the soil is more established this would be the right amount.:

I've taken to watering my fabric pots from the bottom. I set them in a tub where the liquid goes about halfway up the side of the pot and let them sit there for around fifteen minutes. The I lift them out and let them drain on top of an inverted milk crate. The next day I water from the top a little bit. I did that this weekend with a batch of tea. The plants really seem to love it!

On a side note, it's now been almost four weeks since the big girls have had any food out of a bottle. It's all been tea and top dress.

Wow!! Btw, thx for putting the date in there...easier for cloudier minds like me to keep track down the road. Oh, and your clones are looking lovely.

Thanks Jam! I am really happy with how things are turning out so far. Okay....I'm ecstatic:yahoo:
Are you going to start a journal sometime soon, or maybe on your next grow if you are too far into one right now?
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

It actually has more to do with a camera...I borrowed a digital camera from one of my son's friends about two years ago when I moved over here. Any hoots, I actually took a few shots of one of my first few "indoor" grows (on here somewhere btw & under flouros solo none the less, ;)from the same bag seed I still have going from the "weird" way I reproduced them here and there. Any hoots, lol, I took offense at something the kid said and gave the camera back before I could use it for what I really had intended. Funny thing is, when you said I could put some pics up, I told my son to ask her if I could borrow it again...my B-days the day after T-giving I think this year so I figure she'll either loan it to me or he'll feel guilty & get me one for my birthday. Either way, I'll send a couple pictures your way sooner or later, lol.

ps-worse case scenerio one of the young'ins should get me a new cell phone for X-mas right? :D

That watering method just plain makes sense. Does this help to sort of flush them at the same time? Thank you!

It's a super good way to flush with just water. I assume that when I do it with tea, it also does a minor flush of the charged ions that make up salts. Everything moves from higher concentration to lower concentration in a watery environment. Charged ions diffuse out into the tea bath at a slower rate than into a water bath, but they are still being diluted even with a tea dunking.

That's what I was thinking, only not quite as scientifically presented as you are so astute at. LOL Based on how green and lovely your plants are, it certainly is a proven method!

Hey Rain! Missed you around yesterday. Hope you had a great weekend!
Yes, thank you...I think they are doing well too. :) The one you mentioned in the lower corner is the scrawny, gangly one that I've mentioned. She's been kind of really thin leaved from the get go. I will keep a watch, maybe lighten up the nutes just for her on next feed? She's flowering though, that's a positive sign. LOL

Had a great weekend, very busy but fun. Believe it or not my buddy saw a great white shark while we were surfing!! Some other people had said something about a half hour before also. There is also a video of one at the exact same spot only a couple weeks ago. This one was less than 10 feet, but still scary.

I took a bunch of pics, but the ones of the plants I was considering did not really turn out :( If you get bored cruise through my gallery. I put in a bunch just to get some feedback from ya, being an expert and all. Oh pics of Cannafan and Adonia up too.

I really like that method gets water to the entire medium, but doesn't that leach out the goodness out of the soil? I suppose if you are giving teas and what not, it keeps the EC where you want it. I like the idea of giving a thorough watering every so often for sure. And like Canna said, your plants are picture perfect, so that is hard to argue with!

Hey Mr. Photographer! I am no "expert", lol. And there isn't much in the way of help you need from me by the looks of those most recent gallery pictures. WOW! I left a note on your thread.

If I saw a shark of ANY kind in the water....I think I would have a heart attack right then and there. I would be an easy meal for sure. LOL

Dang! My humidity in the grow room was at 70% this morning! I have the dehumidifier going now, but I wonder what's up with that high number all of a sudden?
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

It's caused from an introduction to more heat in a cold climate. If you wanna get the humidity down fast add more fans point up not on the plants and run that dehumidifier. This is what we do in construction

Ahhhh.... or course! Well I guess the positive on that is that there is definitely heat getting to the basement now. LOL
The dehumidifier is taking care of it promptly, it's already down to 55%
Thanks for keeping my head clear. LOL

No apologies necessary Olagan! It's kind of overwhelming you first get on this site as to how to do things, I've been there myself. LOL
Let us know here when you get your journal up, I will pop over for sure. ;-)
 
re: Cannafan's Perpetual Grow White Widow-Master Kush Reveg and More! CFL's/LED/HPS

Okay, an "as I progress" question...
when should I (or shouldn't I?) defoliate the leaves under the scrog? I remember KJC saying something about the timing on another thread, but I'll be danged if I can find it now. :-(
Thanks all!

I usually do a little at a time so as not to shock the plants...check out bassmans thread...if you haven't already...excellent info on defol

LOL...yeah you won't be disappointed...he is a defol expert IMO...granted you are just cleaning under your scrog but I'm pretty sure he covers that... like 21 days and 45 or something like that ...when I scrog I do a little at a time on a regular basis ...but I'm no expert
