Bamboo!don’t want my main stem to split!
Well done, sir!How I droughted in an top feed, recirculating hydroponic system, with a 100% hydroton medium.
The first part is to select a branch/cola, that you can consistently take a photo of, from the same exact perspective each time. To accomplish this, I simply marked a spot on my scrog Frame (made with PVC), and the angle of the phone.
When I would sit my phone on the Frame, and point it at the chosen branch/cola, I had consistent photos of the same perspective of the selected branch/cola.
If you look at that cola, you can see it's isolated, and has nothing to rest against (wich would skew the measurements).
Next take the picture.
Download an app called Image Meter (I got it from playstore).
Open the photo within the app.
Measure from the branch to where the petiole attaches to the leaf.
You can zoom in, from within the app to click each point for the measurement for the Leaf Wilt Angle (LWA).
Be sure to remember exactly where you clicked for those three points, remember consistency is key!
Your first measurement should be done right shortly after a fertigation, so that the leaf is in its most turgid/rigid state.
Then stop the feed/fertigation going to that plant.
Continue to take photos using the above method until you have gotten to almost a 50% reduction in the LWA, or 50% of you turgid state. We want to get close, but not surpass 50% change of LWA (to my understanding).
I've attached a 2nd photo here showing the continued drought with the LWA changes.
Then resume fertigation.
Here's a bit of a gif I made showing it. The camera I had setup for the gif got moved at one point, but you can clearly see the plant wilting.
And that's it folks! Thanks to Maritimer for walking me through my first drought and his patience with everything that happened. The full read is here in my journal.
Honestly, I'd just cut off a chunk, maybe an inch or two, stick it in a blender and then add to the water. It will foam up and act as a surficant, helping to wet your medium. The aloe has lots of nutrients in it as well that the plants will love.Glad I seen this post, how much aloe per gallon would you suggest?
You're going to have to stay tuned to this thread, but the consensus is yes, but we haven't worked out the method yet.Imsorry if this has been asked already and i wont lie i have not read this entire thred but could this be done using coco/ perelite?
Yes.Imsorry if this has been asked already and i wont lie i have not read this entire thred but could this be done using coco/ perelite?
I think im going to have to try this myself. And once i start cloning in the future ill try a side by side ( one with and one without) in the future.Yes.
You might try a Tbsp or two per gallon of fresh ground (put in blender) yucca/aloe. With a little water added it should form a paste or liquid upon blending the fresh plant. I use a liquid retail product and it calls for a tbsp per gallon. I any case plants love yucca.Glad I seen this post, how much aloe per gallon would you suggest?
You will only do that once.I think im going to have to try this myself. And once i start cloning in the future ill try a side by side ( one with and one without) in the future.
Hi greenjeans, is it possible you cut it early? Thc builds steeply in the last weeks. If we cut them before the build up they smoke weak. Just one avenue it could be.Wow - I dream of trichs like that!!!!
Here's a weird question - my crop was weak this year so....Is it the quality of the trichs, amount of trichs or if not strong does using more get you the same high??? Is it quality, quantity or amount used??
Wicked... Nice plants bro. Haven't heard from you in a while hope you doing okay.Ok Here I am at 8 days ! Feeding tonight it is starting to list to one side and don’t want my main stem to split! “Or do I another post “ HaHa I just feel it’s time and I’ll learn as I go. Luv this place Thanks Krissi for starting this
Crazy right! But that's why I guess this process didn't scare me away so much to begin with and thanks Stink. Still need to do my updates today and check on @Maritimer s thread, so behind!Nice buds Krissi.
I'm always amazed how fast the leaves bounce back when watered. If not crisp they come back.
Hello there! I believe someone else mentioned a similar theory here some pages back. It sounds reasonable as far as I am concerned yet we don't have anything definitve yetEvelyn Woodhead
Tighter growth rings in trees do make better boards... much better actually.
Plugging the hole in hempy and adding extra water could suffocate the roots?
I grow coco in cloth... could spraying the outside of the bag be enough to supplement the shortage of water during the drought period? if so nutes or no nutes?
AbsolutelyI have a question about the 11 day vs dry soil talk. If the goal is to wait for LWA to reach -50%, but let's say it only reaches -40%; there should still be adequate increase in trichomes, etc right?
In other words, if you cut droughting short a little bit, it just means you did not capitalize on it's full potential?
I'm sure...I've also done it later as well...Also, what if you drought later in flower than week 7. How about week 8, if it's possible. Can't it be like a flush, but without actually flushing?
