The Capn's Simple Hydroponics Cook Off - Goal: 1lb Indoors - Journal

[TheCapn]

>>>its awful fast enough for my videos its my HD space is like at two gigs

s1ing, if you would delete some porn off that thing you would have room for more videos.

S1ing is correct, there are articles about the nectar and the tea in there.

s1ing, that is one nice jar o candy. Is that what you're handing out for Halloween? If so, I'm coming by your house two or three times in different costumes.

 

[s1ingblade]

Don't forget tomorrow morning is update time, only three more till its done w/weights and pics from the harvest.
For me that is not sure how much more time than me cap'n is going to need. Maybe ill time it just right to close out at the same time and well know the results at same time?
Have a smokin day all im out of here cause its time for my 8 year old kid to be spoiled with a birthday party/ slumber party, wish I had some edibles haha

 

[Skybound]

Edibles would be a fun way to help willing parents enjoy trick or treating on Halloween. The kids get their candy, and the parents get their too on the low low.

OK so I'll update tonight and sleep in a little Sunday morning.
So we should be in approx. 40 days since flip. Give or take a day.
My entry plant is DinaFems Critical +
here is the description from tudes site
Dinafem Seeds Critical + is a fantastic Indica plant which is an award winning strain that recieved the Highlife Glass of Barcelona. Dinafem Seeds Critical + is a high yielder that packs a powerful yet fruity skunk scent with a delicious taste. Indoor cultivators will need to take care and employ heavy ventilation due to the strong, skunky fragance it exudes while growing. Critical + is a high yield producer with a powerful, fruity skunk aroma, saddled with a delicious taste. Critical + cultivates indoors but beware it has a very strong, skunky fragrance while growing. Critical + is a very potent smoke, mentally & physically, with a high yield and harvests in early October. Critical + has a flowering time pf 45-50 days. Critical + is a very potent smoke both mentally and physically.
So I had an issue where the first five days I had light and timer issues. So maybe I can hope for two more weeks but Im not so sure. I will keep an eye on the trics but I know its still too soon, Im waiting on white hairs to start drying out. As of right now 100% of the hairs are white.
I've been feeding her Advanced Nutrients 2 Part Bloom plus basic additives. She was switched a week ago from Big Bud to Overdrive and I feel like it's making a difference. Its hard to tell cause at this stage of the plants life it should be sweeling up like it is. All I can say is the AN isn't hurting the plant that I can tell. She gets a Heisenberg Style Compost Tea once a week at least sometimes 2. SO Bloom A & B, B52, Overdrive, Bud Candy and CA MG for a total PPM in the solution of 1000. My well water is luckily real nice and tastes good at 86 ppms.
I dont even bother checking or adjusting the solutions PH on the plants with AN.
Just so you all know all my other plants in veg and one in flower are on GNs 3 Part Flora Series Plus the Flora-Bloom, now these plants solution is adjusted and my target is 6.0.
What else the entry plant is in a 5 gal equiv. AirPot and all RW Grow Cubes, the plant gets watered 6 times a night for three mins each time thru a 12" Hydro Halo that has a 1/2" inlet.
27 Gallon Tuff Tote for a reservoir, it usually is kept at 15 gallons. I top off once a day with 1-2 gals of fresh water with whatever it needs to adjust into the range I want.
OK so lets see some pics right?
If anyone has any questions, comments or winning lotto numbers feel free to chime in.

WOO HOO! A worthy contender indeed. Good looking lady there.

 

[AfricanGrower]

DAMN, if its not the OverDrive, then it just might these genetics based on the description. She is really starting to swell, as I can see the major differences since last update

 

[s1ingblade]

That's a good topping for sure.

VERY NICE, s1ing. I can tell it's grown, just since the last picture you took. It will really fill in now that you've opened it up.

And those pics of the comparison from dirt to rockwool are amazing.

Are the drip rings managing to get good water to the center of the pot?

Good luck tomorrow buddy!

I've changed the way I top and Im almost sure Im Fiming now. Ill get another set of pic to see. I am getting the top to activate the closest three or four tips, at least thats what I call it, Mc might chime in and give me a clue?
as for the center of the plant getting watered the critical + would've done better if it had more even watering. I have another plant in a bigger airpot and the ring works better cause its more centered, oh well I was warned,
Thanks Cap!

So does anyone want to make a prediction at my final weights? Dry of course.
I have NO idea as this is my first time growing an indoor plant this big. I'm used to growing nine plants under the same light, most of the time i come in right around a pound, give or take, no gas.
If I net a full one or close to it i will consider it a double success. First success was meeting the cap'n
Thanks skipper

 

[s1ingblade]

Last night when the room came on I was pleased to see a difference since Saturday, there swelling nice. Im curious if its in the nutes, genes or both. I'll know more once I finish the same cut in the GH three part flora with only the blend and weekly Heisenberg tea. I'm hoping for very similar results, if I can get em I'll keep using the recipe if not I'll buy more b52 and use the rest of the two part base nutrients i still have in those huge 23 L jugs

 

[SWvoodoo]

I think it is safe to say you are breaking the pound barrier. warp speed Capn!

 

[s1ingblade]

I'll gladly take that! Thanks voodoo

Yeah take it to warp speed cap

 

[AfricanGrower]

That 4x4 net is full. My official guess is 17zips. Thanks for doing your share, sling.

 

[s1ingblade]

Anytime Sir

[shottafire]

I would say 500 plus g bo's.

 

[AfricanGrower]

"WE NEED WEED" ahahaha

 

[SWvoodoo]

It juss canna do it Capn she doesn't have the flower! ok im done with the trek stuff now. lol.

 

[TheCapn]

I'm doing a good weed deed as well. About two more weeks to go.

PPM at 1000. I'm dropping florablend, and silica now.

Now I'm only using GH bloom, micro, a splash of grow, and 2ml/gal kool bloom.

 

[s1ingblade]

Kool bloom? Powdered or liquid?

Cap'ns got a sandwhich of buds between those screens

 

[s1ingblade]

I hope ya'll will forgive me I was all caught up racing the timer this morning getting the reservoirs changed and or topped off and by the time I was done the lights went out and I didnt get a current pic so no Sunday morning pic update, so sorry.
I can tell you they have swelled up even more so next week when I get some pics you ought to see a difference thats noticeable.
