Prohibition Is Over And It's Time To Grow: Budget LED 750 Watts RDWC

[Jamers]

All good man as far as water temps it might b a little cool. I can’t say for sure but I get a great result between 66 and 69. R you using any root treatment H202,Z9 or r you using that hydro sparkle?I only use that hydro sparkle with my clones because it’s a little more gentle then H202. . I use the H2O2 to keep the roots clean in my system’s. I like it because it’s 29% food grade and at 120 bucks for 20L it lasts forever. I can use it no problem because my temps r always cool. If I had warmer temps I would run Z9. The hydro sparkle and Z9 are very expensive compared to H202. Outside of running it in my mix’s I also clean everything with it res,buckets,clay pebbles,flood and drain table everything get cleaned with the stuff.

After a little thought maybe the heads you have at you house would b best (I believe). I would like to stay away from black pipe as I know copper and pex. Thx man.

just a quick note on roots, this is what I used to use and always had great results. Cant seem to find it anymore oh well. H202 I know works also .

And yea I have a mixing res outside my room with a feed line and a ball valve. I actually just picked up this float valve today. I’ll be installing it in my pump res and feeding it from the mixing res for those long weekends away in cwood lol

edited to add i think i am gonna get another one of those float valves with a water line fitting for the mix res so i stop flooding my basement when filling up the res and forgetting about it hahahah

Over to the grow room. Plant today are alive ha. That’s about all I can say ha Ph is 5.8 ec is 1.0. New growth looks okay, so hopefully they pull around soon.

This forum is pretty amazing. The support i have received on here is above and beyond what i would have expected. Hopefully one day i can help others or maybe someone learns something in here along the way

Lol I use to get Dutch Master years ago when I had a few friends in Hamilton grow circuit. Happys Hydroponics carried it years ago I don’t know if they still do. A lot of memories when I seen that bottle. Great shit.
I have that same float valve and I was going to put it on my res but because I need Cal/mag with my RO water I’m going to add it to my holding/ mixing tank(Brute Rubber maid). I have over filled this more then a few times lmao. Now I keep it beside the floor drain lmao.

Ha ha Yea exactly, I’ll have my mixing res with a float valve to fill it from the filter and then 1/2 bulkhead at the bottom of mixing res with tubing running down to another float valve in my main res where my recirculating pump lives. So I just have to keep the mixing res water topped off with cal mag and should be gud.

 

[Jamers]

Installed some webcams in my grow space so I can watch my plants die from work lmao.

for sure like @KCCO 77 said I should have been top feeding for the last week. I hadn’t transplanted clones before and didn’t put them deep enough in their net pots. Even tho had the water high enough that the bottom of the pots were submerged they still didn’t get enough water up top. Been top feeding them the last few days which seems to be keeping them alive. Finally see some new roots poking out the side of the nets lesson learned.

Oh man I won’t tell you how many times I talk to my wife and myself about getting a few of these bad boys. I’m definitely not good with tec but your setup has me drooling. Between the fire sprinkler and environmental controller and now the cams oh man.

Lol nice love next day delivery. I will look into them. Let’s hope those little ladies pick up now. How long r going to veg them??

 

[Jamers]

Yea hoping they do but emotionally prepared for the worst lol. I need a harvest pretty badly so i wasn't going to veg them for very long. Maybe 3 or 4 weeks from now, depending on if they get back on track.
Ec dropped from 1.0 to 0.9 and ph keeps rising which according to my chart means they are hungry. Will do a res change soon and bump the nutes up i think.

Nice job on the tinkering. Your inspiring me to get my external setup setup. When it gets cold and I’m trapped inside I will get my shit together lmao. Give those ladies a few days to stabilize and adjust to the new food and they should start growing good. Did they come from a trusted source??

Oh hell no not trusted lol. I was a bit desperate and got them off a nice person but total stranger on reddit’s local nugswap page.
Good call on leaving them alone for a few days, they have had enough stress.

Lmao wow that’s crazy shit. I didn’t even know such websites existed. I hope they work out and r female. You may want to look at growing a mom when you find a strain you love. Moms for the most part r real easy and you can keep them tiny and neglect the hell out of them. I mean I would gladly cut some clones for you but I don’t have the selection of a seed bank.

Something i forgot to add the to journal because i was juggling work and this grow was that the tiny bit of mold on the runt i had transplanted ended up almost killing it so i pulled it on tuesday. this was when i discovered i had not put any of the clones deep enough in their net pots. Anyways i put one of the clones i had still sitting neglected in my bubble cloner right at the bottom of the net pot and put about half as many pebbles on top. today the roots look like this

this plant also didnt see any of the bloom nutes and hasn't showed any of the spots or dying leaves. Still not great as it was badly neglected but it will probably end up being okay. here is the plant
