GR's Fall '19 Coco Grow

[HayStack]

That's what I'm talking about. A grow that you put your entire heart and soul into. Most EXCELLENT!!!!!

 

[Old Salt]

Edit: Adding the rest of each strain so now it's 10 Triple Cheese and 9 Ayahuasca Purple, lost one of the seeds somewhere.

Water the carpet and watch it grow.

Day 53 12/12

Made a new tub of nute solution today.
595 ppm/1.19 EC Took Liquid KoolBloom out of the mix, increase Canna A 1ml/gal, Canna B 1mg/gal, and reduced Epsom 0.5/gal.

Oh it is day 53 not 44, forgot to change that.

Update: Day 58 12/12

Got back from a weekend away, all is good my assistant said that when he checked the drainage on Sat it was nil, so he did a 2 min manual watering. He came by yesterday after we returned and said he only got about a cup runoff from Friday nights cycles. Saturdays watering was low also.
So last night when the lights came and the first cycle ran all was good. I gave them an extra minute, and after the 4 cycles and the extra minute I got over 3 gallons runoff, so all seems to be good. Should be harvesting the Skunk early next week, then the BlueBerry later in the week and the G13 Haze sometime between 11/15 and 11/18.

I planted the seeds for the next run today, gave the 1.5 days in shot glass and 4 days in paper towels. All the Triple Cheese germed but so far only one of the Ayahuasca Purple is barely cracked open. Not sure what is up with the AP but giving them more time in the paper towels.

Should I decide to do a SCrog on my next grow this will be the frame, legs will change but this is the basic design. It is 42 inches across the frame.

 

[Old Salt]

That will be great if you can access it from all sides.

Nice I made mine few yrs back Out of. Pvc as well then drilled drywall screws 4inch apart for 4inch. Squares for the screen cool shape.

I am putting it on a Lazy Susan. I have the Lazy Susan that I used for the Barneys Farm LSD Monster Crop grow. Will just have to make the legs fit, but already have the design for it just need a couple of parts.
Plan on being able to move it in a 180 degrees arc, Have to cut the base that the plants will sit on and the frame will attach too.
Need to do a bunch of reading on SCrog's, how I will fill it, how many plants to use. I may do a 5 plant vertical SCrog if I do not do the horizontal SCrog.

Your flowers are looking nice and juicy

This was the one I built for my current grow, 4x3 or 12 sqft, this new one will be 42 inches across or 9 sqft.

You got it! Just thought I'd check.

I've got a large lazy susan on order for my one big plant grow.

 

[gr865]

Here is the one I used for the Monster Crop. I will be using the same unit only adding a larger top to hold more plants.

It looks like you can cut decent circles out of wood. If you find the lazy susan is too small, you can add fixed casters to the top, and use a circle below to keep it on track. Flipping it works too. I built a 40" diameter turntable using this method.

OS,
I can add a platform on the top of the cut circle to hold the plants, not sure I will need too do that though. The 3 to 4 plants may fit on the existing circle.
Also I have coasters on the bottom of the base that fit directly into the drain slots in the bottom of the catch tray. I can pull the entire plant stand forward to the front of the tent.

I do not think I will do this on the next run, may wait till next falls grow to use this method, thinking of going with a 5 plant vertical after this current grow using the two different strains I have started, Triple Cheese and Ayahuasca Purple. Both of these strains are high THC and good producers of Trichs, Hummmmmm, squishing!

I have a couple questions/thoughts when you get a second.

I want to increase my canopy area/yield without increasing my footprint. Vertical growing seems a good way to do that as I already scrog the full footprint of the tent. A 4*4 tent filled on 3 sides 3 ft tall would be ≈36sq ft, a massive increase over it's traditional 16sq ft. On paper. Not sure how that translates to real world growing though.

Do you actually get more canopy area on a vertical than scrogging the tent footprint? Or is it limited by the amount of light available? I thought you had mentioned similar yields between the two growing methods.

When you do verticals is it only three walls of the tent?
How long are your veg times?

Will send a response soon, have a hell of a cold and my eyes hurt just looking at the screen.
