PW's First Attempt At Aeroponics & PS1000 LED

[Pat999]

That's just a seedling bro, sick!!!! I heard they mess with studs over there too..... even before the first nanners pop up!

They even take the old revegged ones, flippen hell man....when the youngens get on it, even the old flappers do it for them

 

[Planter420]

Lol plants are crazy

 

[Apbeast87]

Where do you grab Dinafam?

 

[Pennywise]

Bonza is place for Dinafem, Kathy is around 15 nodes so watch you're step! Ill get a root pic today after work and post it.

 

[Planter420]

Seriously!? I'm gonna have to start checking breeder packets..... these 15 noders look like 21 noders these days....

I can't remember the last root pic I've seen from you lol I'm very interested to see that too.... 15 nodes or not let's see what's under that skirt!

 

[VexGrows]

Hahaha..too funny. You guys are too much. Lol

Must check under the skirt before taking it home....hermies....

 

[Pennywise]

Just checked all 4 plants for trichs and Kathy and Patty both have about 15% amber, ill start their flush tonite and Evie and suzy will start probably in a week.

She responded unbelievably to the backbuilding she plumped up damned good .

Is backbuilding the new vital procedure?

 

[Planter420]

Sweeeeeet you're almost there!

 

[Scrogdawg]

Is backbuilding the new vital procedure?

Backbuilding is gaining ground as a worthwhile technique. Although not vital is does stop vertical growth and enhances swelling and density of your buds. I've used it successfully on two grows now and it's been my experience that it works better with indica dominant plants as compared to sativa dominant plants. I should add that I have only tried it on one strain of sativas so others may say different and I couldn't argue. My opinion is that you gain about 10% on bud size using the backbuilding technique.

 

[Pennywise]

The size increase isnt huge but the increase in quality is noticable.

 

[Muzzybuds]

Thanks for the info chaps.

So ot actually increases quality!!! That pretty much makes it vital! I thought it was only a yield boosting technique. When is the best time to start it? Sorry i could google it but i would rather hear it from you guys .

 

[DobeWan]

What's the ideal timing for backbuilding?

 

[Apbeast87]

Halfway through flower is what I've heard

Week 7 day3
Changed nutes in all 4 buckets tonite

The babies are growing very fast in the dewey cloner.

My new Labyrinth twins ate doing well

My sog tote is leaking, i used aquarium sealer twice now and its leaked. My next day off ill go to the hardware store and find something a little more suitable. Flex shot maybe?

Men those labs have took off ...

 

[Pennywise]

The dewey cloner is awesome for early veg!

 

[Pennywise]

Ok i cleaned the buckets for the Dinachem and the pineapple chunk. They got plain non ph'd water so the flush for those 2 starts tonite. Both are around 10%-20% amber. Heres Kathy before i put her back in the tent.

The root mass is so thick i cant remove the mister heads without cutting roots! Lol

Whoa.. looks like those dewey misters have a lot of work to do lol... wow those roots man!

Anytime after they hit the halfway point, by that time the buds have naturally slowed down their vertical flower growth so snip 3 pistils and a tiny bit of green from the tip of the bud so the auxins ( growth hormone) is redirected to the lower parts of the flower causing them to increase girth.

Its been more manual labor involved than with top feed or ebb & flow but im liking the results. Ill come up with a recirc set up once this grow is finished then ill start 2 plants to begin the perpetual grow. The recirc should take a lot of the work out of it.
