@420SA Are we going to have to wait for this madir to kla flowering before we get judged?

That's really sad man. The roots look fine so I don't think it was that.

How much space does the root ball take up in the bucket? Is your air pump sufficient?

Im calling root bound with little access to fresh o2. Let's see what others say. Sad man,

Hey bud, would love to see how she's doing

Hey, what light do you intend using in the tent?

So I cleaned up the Tortoni, banana Mac and Slurricane, flipped them yesterday under the qb. I am afraid I have left them get too big but I do have some space left if they really stretch, mainly worried about the slurricane.(Pics below)

I moved the remaining 3 moms to the smaller veg tent, and have 4 established clones going, but going to take more soon. (Pics to Follow)

My outdoor clones are all established and the roots are growing out the bottom of all of them so have some hard graff to do this coming week with the light hours moving pass the 12 hour mark, it's time to get my outdoor veg on! (Pics to follow)

Howdy,

Looking good but there are some things to tackle.

Nitrogen only source of fertiliser in the flowering phase is a general no no and is the reason why the buds are not fattening up and looking pointy. I also made this error when I tried organic and have now switched to fully synthetic and am happy with it. Are you using anything to provide a source of k?

You also need to get a Ph pen because after each watering and application of amendments the Ph will swing and can't be corrected from memory after a few weeks of this.

I recently went through having to replace a Ph pen and had one shipped to me from communica. Coza- found that to be the cheapest at that time.

I would try top dress with worm castings and then water throughly. Been having some great success with my outdoor tortoni they also they loose alot of water in this wind, the soil looks a little dry.

So I have been going clone crazy on these moms, got about 20 going at the moment and 4 established clones from my homemade protein tub cloner lol

2 weeks with a light 0.2 ec nute solution, then they go straight into moist coco and don't get water until they start basically dying/wilting.

I use 1.2x1.2 trays and if I have run off, I just drop a few sponges in the tray and remove after a few minutes. No need to raise the tray to drain and picking up the sponges isn't really hard work ^^ If you put a slight angle on the tray, one sponge per corner will do the trick. Just angle to where you can easy access.

 

Some details I should probably include

Ec is 1.3, Im following week 6 in the hortimix excel sheet, and the Tortoni gets 6l, the moms get 3l each and I also alternate between Ph 5.8 and 6.2 every other watering.

Watering is a chore because I have to remove each plant and water until they drain out, then put them back

A couple pics from 4th September


Tortoni is enjoying the 40l fabric pot, but she is too leafy and has alot of lower growth so,
I stripped her bare to see how she would handle it

Is it me or is she loosing her greenness?
I used Hortimix and noticed this loss even when the ec is on Point. Is your Ph always been around 5.8?

My remedy was to buy new hortimix because mine was from last years grow lol

Edit: Post #126 Shows her at top health and you were running 0.9ec? Might be too strong. Is anyone else running a Tortoni in dwc?

Yes hand watered. Exclusively used flora micro and bloom during flower. I want to try my hand at slow release dry nutes but also on the fence as i experienced how quick a deficiency can be corrected with salt nutes

I would try to pull some roots out the air stone, if it doesn't come out easily then don't rip it, but i find I can remove 10% root mass in dwc with no issues.

Thanks man.

2x 600w Lumii black ballasts
Mh lamps and Hps lamps
20L black plastic bags.
Normally i use 10l fabric pots but my yield was much larger with 20l bags

Edit. Lummi black dual spec hps lamps

Careful with avocado, mites just love them when they decompose.I use them in my worm bin and they bring in mites, you have to bury it completely- the worms love to multiply inside the avocado. Add some raw oats for protein and you should have an orgy in no time!

I have been experimenting with all sorts of so called organic products in my salts and coco grows and they do work and don't seemed to be bothered by salt nutes. That is one of my secrets but I guess it's out the bag now

On a more serious note, there are dwc systems that have an upper section to hold soil in order to achieve a hybrid synthetic /organic grow.

Comparing organic nutes to salt nutes is like comparing eating whole foods compared to a meal replacement. They both do the same thing but one can be taken more frequently to achieve better results(pure mass at flower) .

See you in 2022...Salutas!

There is a way. You can toggle it’s “power-on” state to either on or off, however I don’t know if it compares this to what it was programmed for at the time. It’s fine for fans, heaters etc because they don’t impact on a plant like light does.
One thing is for sure, the Sonoff will eventually continue with its schedule after a power fail and return, when a programmed or environmental state is reached.

Im so high I thought the same guy was talking to himself in this thread based on those profile pics :D

I'm in the same boat as you, tired of all the mess with drain to waste coco. I'm going to do 2 stacked 110l tote,(bottom section to catch and send water outside) with another smaller 50l outside the tent, as I only have 100x100 tent.
