Gator's Cage

Re: Gators' Cage

Kind of like how fortunate we all are that the planet is the right distance from the sun to establish the temperature that allows water to exist in its liquid phase

My fav is waters' anomalous decrease of density when frozen.
Fortunate... or Inevitable?

Both?

I had hoped that these were inevitable, my good fortune @38 days:

Re: Gators' Cage

In our real world of causes and effects, the bell curve of statistical probability rules.
When one has options, and selects only those likely to lead to plots on the happy slope, we call these probable outcomes 'good luck'.

Extra lights compromising my mighty-mouth egotistical boast of bare bulb performance may be contributing goodness.
Pricey additives are also new. Cocos is economical base fertilizer, but Shooting Powder is 50 cents per gallon mixed. Top Booster, and Bud XL may also be helping. I may never 'break down' these factors to determine which does what but... I can re-invent only so many wheels.

My photography presents only a sketch of the 'eye appeal' in the cage.
Buds are dense and give me concern over possible bud-rot. Two more weeks, if that.
This weekend, I'll pull the halves out for portraits and final fan-leaf pruning.
When lights are on, at least one cabinet door stands open for ventilation. The fan at the bottom runs always, blowing upwards.

either you got a mouse in your pocket, or you're using the word "we" in a broad general sense ;)

Can't wait to see more.

maybe adding a second fan down there would be good insurance
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Welcome to the cage, Mr Deep Water Culture. Your user name's too long to write.
My set-up starts with good geometry. I'm hoping this yield proves me right.
The CMH Retro is no secret. Plants love its' gorgeous white light.
H&G nutes and coco. Cooking High Cusine for a bite.

Many branches, swelling buds
My horse leads, coming up the stretch
Got a winning ticket, the cage is a thicket
Of Shark buds, tied on their sticks
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Hey Propa-G, the girls are looking lovely!

Got question: When you sprout seeds in coco, how long before you start adding nutes to the water?? I sprouted mine in coco with just plain water, but don't know when to start feeding them.

Thanks brotha!
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Coir supports like dirt. Hold and gives up water even better. Offers no nutrients of consequence on its' own. Feed it now and then leave it alone, in light for a few days. Natural germination happens in nutrient rich dirt.
Feed it half strength solution from the start. Flush it through with 10 to 30% excess every time. Once rapid growth is going on, fertigate every day.
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Sorry Gator, been away for a bit. The cage is looking great! Only a few weeks already. :wood: A quick question though, Why would you fear bud rot just because there running bigger around this time.
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Water transpires out of leaves not in, as some foliar feeders would have you miss-believing. Accumulations condensing on nearby leaf surfaces are what fungus (mold) likes. If the surfaces are 'buried' amid close-packed bud parts, trouble can find a home. Air-flow and low humidity are the answers. Chemical warfare sucks.
 
Re: Gators' Cage

Thanks for clearing that up. I guess it didn't occur to me that bud rot could exist during growth. Makes perfect sense though.
