almost 2 weeks into flowering. plants looking alright. one of them has a few leafs drying out on them, curling up. i think its too close to one of the fans. re arranged the plants see if that helps.
the hydroton on the soil is really helping keep the moisture in the soil. its been just under 2 weeks since flip and ive only fed them once. probably wont have to water again till friday. really seeing how much i was loosing to evaporation. and inturn waste less nutes and water less often.

as close as i can get.

still 3 mother plants lol. one in a newly made fabric bag 1/2 gallon. as u can see i setup an automatic aeration system. works great. comes on once every 36 hours.

all the clones are perky still as u can see. starting to see roots pop out of them now. few more days and it will be full blown roots.

heres some of the pots ive been making.

and heres my next round planned out for me. going to do a 25 plant sea of green in 1.3 gallon bags. the current 16 plant just isnt going to get the same effect i dont think. only 8 days into flowering but i can already tell im going to have tons of wasted space. no problem. next round 25!

so far ive made templates for 1,2,3,5,7,10,15 and 20 gallon bags. got the 25 pots u see done. and i got one of each of 1-20 made. gonna sell some on ebay i think. easy to make. each bag takes 5 mins to make

Tablet came today. Have to charge it for 8 hours. It's charged but I forgot my password and can't do anything till I get that right. Need to know password to change it it seems. I was running all over trying to get what I need for the oil. Can't find a heavy glass pitcher yet. Found one on thE bay I might order tonight. It's amazing, no where to be found. A sales lady asked if I was from the 60s. I found one for $60 with a Caps logo on it. But I'm not spending that much for a beer pitcher. Maybe I can buy one from Pizza Hut, I remember they were glass, 20 years ago. That's my trouble... too fukin old.

Yes it is, she's getting lovely too. You get that tablet yet?

Damn stumped, them girls are looking great! They seem to have stretched quite a bit. And them bags look like some top shelf stuff man, let me know when you sell them and I'll buy a couple. Probably a few 5 and 10 gallon ones. Maybe a 20 gallon for outdoors. Are those handles on them? Sweeeeeet

 

[Stumped]

Great stuff Stumped! And thanks to Peyton for pointing me over here.

I am assuming that TDs are at they hydro store too?

So what would I do to lower the temp in this small of a cabinet?

I will look for a longer air stone. Mine does seem a bit puny.

What do you mean plant 12 inches from the "flip"?

Thanks again!

they do sell tds and ph pens at the hydro shop. but be prepared. they cost 75$ to 100$+ some upto 500$. there tds meeters are no different then the cheap ones u buy on ebay( ive tested them against 5000$ hach probes and they give same reading after a year of use)
. but the ph pens hydro shops sell are much more reliable then the ebay ones. either way i think a liquid test kit is fine. unless you feel like spending the money then by all means. there nice to have lol

to lower the temp all u can do is add more exhaust, a second fan hole or a bigger one. get the hot air out faster. or hookup a air conditioner somehow. not sure how on that one lol

sorry slang terminology. lol flip means from when ya change your light schedule from veg(24-0 or 18-6) to 12-12. 12 hours light 12 hours darkness, to induce flowring.
you have a light timer right?

cheers man.

I think they switched to plastic a while back. Maybe it's just my area though. Can't wait to see if the app helps with your eyes. Fun on a bun!

 

[Stumped]

Email me peyton. Some reason I lost your email in the 50000 emails from here lol
I won't sell you anything.....

 

[Stumped]

You need a big glass jar Jim? Trying to think here. I'm sure Walmart got something in the cooking section.
We got a restraunt up here called a&w and they sell these massive glass rootbeer mugs. All glass too.

 

[PeytonManning]

I've got a couple of them giant beer glasses. Got a couple at wally world, and stole a few from sports bar. Can never have too many.

So is it a&w like the root beer, or is it a completely different place up there? We had one in Texas, but it was just burgers, dogs and root beer

 

[Stumped]

Yup same place. Lol sorry its a fast food joint. Thought it was canadian, maybe not. Yea they sell big 1000ml Muggs or 750ml I forget, there big though. I use mine when I make hash lol

 

[PeytonManning]

I used to eat there all the time cause it was on base. I still have trouble with the conversion rate, but I think ours are 32 ounce. How do you make hash with that? Seems like it would be hard to get to the bottom sometimes. I think I used a glass pie dish, but let it dry too much and it turned into a rock

 

[Stumped]

I use it for the second settle wait. After I drain the 5 g bucket with airline tubing.
Yea I'm guessing the t shirt u used to strain. Try to find some silk screen.

 

[Stumped]

My hash tutorial was incomplete lol. I'll have to finish it next time to show that last step lol

 

[PeytonManning]

I'll make sure and get the right supplies this time for it. I gotta stop half assing stuff when it comes to cannabis. Gotta bone up on freezer drying buds again, and hash making. And I gotta learn to make oil for cancer patient. Gonna be a busy man. If they ever legalize here I'll be a money making fool lol

 

[Stumped]

Halfass or doing your own thing? Exactly, nothing you've done is half ass, just working with what u got. I can't knock that I do the same thing.

Something like this for the ph and tds monitor?

Digital Ph Meter TDS Tester Aquarium Pool Hydroponic Water Monitor 0 9999 Ppm | eBay

Well hopefully I don't have to cut another hole in this thing but I will know when I test the temp.

Ah, ok. The flip. Got it. Yes, I do have a digital timer ready to go.

So when you said "Plant at 12 inch from flip will yield a 2 foot + plant"

You mean that a plant that is 12 inches at the flip will end up more than two feet tall? Unless it is topped or trained, I guess?

Don't worry I will get the lingo down eventually lol.

 

[PeytonManning]

Yeah, but it's my fault in a way. I could have waited a few days and got the supplies but wanted to do it that night. Same with cloning, I keep forgetting to get rockwool and then just jump in and do it wrong. Still learn a lot from my mistakes, but I gotta try to be a little less lazy. Baby steps, baby steps

Your making this easy lol. you seem to be absorbing info good.
Yes that's the exact 2 testers I own lol. Just buy some good calibration solution. Stuff that comes with it is junk and unstable. Ask for it at the hydro shop its not too expensive buffering solution its called.

Yea that's what I meant, whatever size the plant is when you switch the lights to 12/12 it would at least double in height. Unless u train it vertical. U got it man.
You may want to just do 12/12 from seed day 1. If u don't plan on cloning that is. The plant won't flower anyways for a month at least. A longer veg time won't bennifit you any as your using cfl and limited space. Its only going to get so much.

How many watts u got there anyways in lights?

U may not have to cut a new hole. Just cover the unused holes, block the light. How big were those net pots? 1.5 inch?

I shouldn't be using slang when trying to teach someone lol my bad.

 

[Stumped]

Peyton that's when I say, "well I know what not to do now lol" I got a list bigger of what don't work then what does lol.

Speaking clones, the clones I cut I really got nowheres to put them lol. Gonna chuck them in that dog kennel next week in the ground and do a late outdoor sog. I usually got till middle Oct till it gets too cold. Oct 20th they will be done if they can last that long hahhaha oh well. Just figured it out lol maybe not.

 

[PeytonManning]

Yeah I was wondering what was up with all them clones just sitting there. I need skills like that.
