Grandberry Soda: Pheno Hunt Part 2

[BedroomFarmer]

They have some round caps that seem to fit 1gal pots and up that look really nice. I think Dutch is using them. The floraflex so far seem very stable in ph and the water looks clear. I have to check how it is in there, haven't added any enzymes yet

Was just looking at their 8” 8 pot kit. How big are your pots?

 

[BedroomFarmer]

I'm in the 6" pots .5gal, the 8" are about 1gal. Its hard to find actual grows with them but from what they repost in ig, people grow some big monsters in them

 

[Pennywise]

I think I’d go with the 8” and grow bigger plants.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

I havent seen the results out of the 8" yet but definitely should make some monsters. the 8" ones were big and took more space then I liked. I returned them for the 6" and I can fit a lot for a clone sog which is my preference when not pheno hunting

 

[Pennywise]

6” on an auto water and coco system could grow some big plants.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Oh yeah, from what I've seen should use less coco per pot and still make some big ones

 

[Pennywise]

You can fit a lot of 6” pots in a 4 x 8. Lol

I've been debating going over to a floraflex system since you mentioned them. I was considering the floor and drip units first but I think I may try the round matrix.

 

[Pennywise]

It’s not super expensive either.

Man, that would be a ton of plants. I think 19 was the Max I could fit in a 2x4. So like 38 plants maybe. Would be impressive

Dutch uses the round matrix and seems to like them. I like what they offer, definitely put a lot of thought into it. The manifold they offer unscrews and you can put on a garden hose which Is very convenient

 

[Pennywise]

I’ll go that route soon enough

Ok so I'm at 3g a gal with florarlex bloom and full strength silica and cal/mag. Looks like they are finally happy with the feed rate and are doing good.

So far the nutrients are extremely stable, I adjusted once initially last fill and didnt ph again until refill after letting the rez fully empty.

Another thing is they are very clean, last fill up I didnt use any enzyme and the slime was very minimal, the rez was clean.

Rez before refill, didnt even need to be cleaned before refilling. Just added slf100. Never seen my rez look like this after more then a few days ever.

The nutrients in the water ends up being clear and I see no signs of settling.

The second pic is after my micro pump stired the mix around for a few minutes.

Here they are today about to go into flower

The Floraflex nutes are holding up well so far.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

So far so good, my first impression is this would probably excel in DWC and Aero as it doesn't really create slime buildup and it fully dissolves in water so should help with clogging and stuff. I love how this stuff is in my rez. Itw clean its stable it great but for my moms and grows with Sunshine/ pro mix I'll stay with Megqcrop. I really like megacrop and it's easier to use as you only need 1 measurement. for hand watering no worries

 

[Pennywise]

Always good to have a back up though.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

For sure! Gotta order some more soon. Also picked up some sunshine mix but it was at home depot outside and looked old. Hopefully no pests

 

[Pennywise]

Look at it closely with a loupe maybe.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

I'll give that a shot, if I see something I'll have to put it in the oven or put some sand on too and bottom.
