    Strains-
    White russian autos
    Ultra lemon haze
    Blueberry
    White widow


    Limit - 25

    The Setup-
    - Mars Hydro 4x4x7 tent for veg and clones/moms

    - Two Mars Hydro pro 2 epistar 160
    .. Working on building a led light.. Pics soon

    - Two 6 inch vortex inline fans with backdraft dampers
    - Fan speed controllers
    - a direct to outside exhaust fan with damper and controller
    - all fans are on day night temp controllers that turn on if the tent or room heat up
    - 30 pint royal sovereign dehumidifier
    Hanging from tent
    - 20 lb co2 tank and titan electric regulator with analog ppm controller
    - window is plywood plastic and sealed.
    - door.. plastic and a tarp zipper.


    The Grow
    - two small 2x4 plastic ebb and. Flow tablesand 100litre Reservoir

    Plants were started in rapid rloters. And went to 4 inch Rockwell blocks then plastic pots with a hydroton perlite 50/50mix
    There will be Drip stakes going in the pots on Tuesday, well water 200ppm plus 600 base veg nutes for now

    This was a bad idea looking back.
    The rw and hydroton dry out differently so that's causing a little problems

    The Temps have been around 24c/50rh in the day

    12c and 50rh at night

    Any suggestions or help or bullshit welcome

    Thank you :)

  2. And I'm on well water at about 200ppm
     
  3. Little bit of yellowing on the lower leaf of the Blueberry mom. Thinking it's calcium. I'm on well water at 200ppm so something probably getting locked out.

    R. O. Water system soon..

  4. Update.

    I took one tent down. And IL do the flowering in the sealed bedroom.

    All my autos are on a table under flower mode on the leds and got their first dose of flower nutes

    The mothers are still in the tent

    Pics later :)
     
  5. little bit more yellowing .

    ive been going light with the nutrient schedule but the medium im using ( 50/50 mix of clay balls and perlite) is very airy and needs nutrient drip pretty often so ive been going light on the nutes.

    today i went up to almost 1000 with a tsp of calmag this time to see how that goes on well water. im switching to reverse osmosis when the package comes in teusday.

  10. After their first whole day on drip systems (every 2 hrs (not the first 2 or last 3) for 15 min), the plants are looking happy.

    Checked the pH and ppm of the reservoirs last night:
    Fl: 7.6 and 900 - We added a weak dose of nutes to bring the ppm up a bit and the pH back down
    Ve: 8.2 and 700 - added water and pH down

  13. Did a lot of trial and error but it's working good now

    I should have left the 4inch cubes on the table instead of putting them in buckets of clay balls and perlite

    Got hoses running to the side of the cubes into the pots..

    Got both tables on one res, gone sterile now I add two ml per 5gal of the pool shock mix I made 1gram per gallon of hth pool shock 65%caL hypo

    Got rid of the voodoo juice it's basic for now until I learn more about sterile res.

    Jungle juice advanced nutrients bloom a/b

    Calmag 2tsp/gal

    Still on well water 150-200ppm. Waiting on stealth ro 150gpd to come in the mail

    Go the screens setup over the plants.

    Separated the white russian autos and the ultra lemon haze autos s they have different flowing time the Russians are a few weeks ahead

    I added a res heater at 65 f. Is this OK?

    Is it OK to use surfactants with chlorine?

    What other additives are OK to use with chlorine sterile rez??

    There is a hole in the ceiling that leads to a vent outside so when my closet exhaust fan kicks in, it draws fresh cool outside air. Though a filter. Fan is on day night heat sensor

  14. Plant update. The switch to sterile has been great. Just realized I'm using calmag organic so I bought a/n sensi-cal just for hydroponic not organic so it won't gum up my res and hoses

    Buds on white russian auto are popping nicely.

    The ultra lemon haze is more sativa and supposedly a few extra weeks but I lead see some hairs so that's good

    The Blueberry, white widow and green crack moms are all standing straight up loving the tent. And it's providing a little extra humidity even with the door open

    Autos and moms are all on the same 18/6

  19. How many days does it usually take to go from a cut clone to harvest?
     
  20. I just have the one tent and my lights are on a 12x12 cycle. I'm considering another, smaller, tent for clones. What is the light cycle you keep on your clones?
