SKUNK TRAIN

[Rubberbubbler]

What's up fellow tokers, Just figured I would start my first grow log.
All 15 of the freebies sprouted nice and fast they are 10 days old now just transplanted them to the ebb & flow system using cal-mag plus,fox-farm nuts quarter strength. I am using a grow lab 120. I have 2 600 watt air cooled hoods.Also using a 4x12 inch phresh air carbon filter but I am going to pick up a 6x24 inch filter . I was a little busy over the Holiday as most were. so I procrastinated transplanting. They look a little water logged but should be OK.I have all 15 in the tray just going to weed through and find the males and save any females I can get. I have 15 more seeds on stand by so I hope eventually I get to try all 5. I am also going to collect pollen just in case I want to play mad scientist:weedpoke:.I will be updating often. Thanks for reading comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Count me in, this looks like a sweet 'lil project. :thumbsup: I'm dyin' to see what some of these crosses do.

[deleafer2220]

You can def count me in for this one..
great set-up and great genetics...
this looks like its going to be a very interesting log :thumbsup:
BEST OF LUCK :jointsmile:

[frostedwonder]

Pulling up a couch (I'm Big) and going to get comfy cause I picked up those freebies as well and can't wait to see what they can do. I have no room for them for now, so I will live thru your grow log! Happy Gardening!:giggity:

[killa12345]

Sweet Set Up.....A DR120, 2-600 and and ebb flow system....man i think you just named my dream set up.....i would have gone for the top with more holes like the 48 plant top but man you do have the rolls royce of setups over there....this should be one incredible run with all that lighting....i was thinking of putting a growzilla in my tent this year! This should be good! GOod Luck and im along for the ride....You definetly caught my attention! :thumbsup:

[redtails]

Oh I'll be checking in! Got only a Kushberry x skunk growing myself in soil under a 23w cfl(200w when there's a bit more growth) so I can't wait to see what that beast of a setup can do!

Oh, & is that 10 days growth on the last pics? Mine is same age (germ'd 12/17) but on it's fourth set of leaves...

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks for all the kind words and making me fell better about the setup abs plastic is expensive lol. The plants are definitely off to a slow start. It's been real cold lately. They looked a little water logged but starting to grow again.

[middieman440]

any new pics...im hopng to get a good indica pheno out of the ones i have..

[mainegrown]

im in.. i love this hydro deal..

[Rubberbubbler]

any new pics...im hopng to get a good indica pheno out of the ones i have..

I will post some pics in a few days still going a little slow. Roots are starting to emerge from the net baskets. Hoping things start pick up quickly.

[Rubberbubbler]

Whats up everybody, I hope everyone is having a good start in the new year.
I have changed the the nuts to half strength and they are starting to finally grow a little. Its been about 70 F A little on the cold side. I usually use cfls to veg but decided to use one 600 watt with a Eye Hortilux its supposed to have 17% more blue spectrum than a standard hps bulb. Its been a long while sense I started from seed. I usually just work with clones. So If anyone has any suggestions I am open to them.

[redtails]

Not bad, I like how they're all looking pretty indica-dom. Makes me happy, I don't have too much vertical room. How big are you planning on growing them before you flower? And are you going to take any clones or seed anything since they're a limited edition? I topped my kushberry yesterday and am rooting that as a clone, hopefully it's a female but even if not I think I'll save some pollen.

[Rubberbubbler]

I usually don't flower or take any clones until they are 2 months old. I will be saving pollen from what I can. I cant wait to see what comes out of all these strains. I am used to smoking unknown bag seed strains nothing to get excited over but not garbage.

[MonkeyBone]

Bagseed is what I got and i'm very impressed! Very tough strain, easy to grow, good high but not too "i'm so stone i can't even touch my head with my chin, oh, wait, got to remove that hockey mask first" kinda high. Great pine taste.

Do you have any idea how I can make my plant to taste like chocolate? Just a little hin of chocolate would be very nice!

You got all your gear going great! Can't wait to see them flowerin'!

:thumbsup:

[redtails]

Do you have any idea how I can make my plant to taste like chocolate? Just a little hin of chocolate would be very nice!
:thumbsup:

You can make the plant taste like things by adding a little extract to some water and watering the plant about half an hour to an hour before you harvest. Don't know if there's a chocolate extract but I've tried it successfully with lemon and orange...

[jakester]

You can make the plant taste like things by adding a little extract to some water and watering the plant about half an hour to an hour before you harvest. Don't know if there's a chocolate extract but I've tried it successfully with lemon and orange...I know this is getting off topic, great grow log by the way...;) but I always thought a coffee flavored MJ would be great. I wonder if you could just pour your morning pot leftovers in her pot the day of harvest? Would an extract work better? This is dumb, I am not going to actually do this...just curious.

...anyway, back to the grow.

[chefbeanstock]

Hey, we started our seeds on the exact same day! This is awesome, I've never had the opportunity to do this. I think it can be a good learning experience for me (I'm not sure how experienced you are). Good luck!!!

Learning experience it will be. I have never grown any of these strains before.

[Rubberbubbler]

Heirs some more pics. As soon as I can take some clones I am going to start to flower and see whats what. It will probably be in a couple weeks its going to get crowded parity quick.

[jakester]

Looking great, they love it in there.

[frostedwonder]

Now them are some yummy looking roots! Healthy looking for sure. I wish I was that handy with tools and design.

[Rubberbubbler]

I am going to post some more pics today or tomorrow. please let me know if I am posting to many or to often as I have been known to be picture crazy. :D

[redtails]

No such thing!

[Rubberbubbler]

I'm sorry I did not resize these. I am not very good with that sort of thing. They are high resolution pics. Nuts are still half strength I use a 30 gal res. I thinking about upping the nuts to full strength but not sure if I should just yet.
All the plants are doing OK except the La Conf not sure whats up. Any ideas?
This is my first time starting seeds in hydro. The pH has stabled off and according to the pH indicator drops its at 6.0

[attachment=o234988]
LA CONF

[attachment=o234989]
KANDY KUSH ONE LOVES IT

[attachment=o234990]

[frostedwonder]

Hey, nice growth so far. As far as what is wrong with the La Con it could just not like what your using. They probably need different things then each other would be my first guess. What color are the roots on that La C?

[Rubberbubbler]

The roots are very healthy bright White. 2 of the 3 look like that and the 3 looks fine. I was up all night the other night and discovered my timer for my blower was not shutting off it got down to 50 degrees for one night. I was moving some gear around and had to unplug the timer apparently l need to replace the backup battery. I am hoping that it just got to cold. I vent my lights using cold air from outside I put a hole in the ducting to help regulate the temp I do not push air out only in. This keeps my room 72 degrees during the day and it only gets down to 65 when the lights are out.

[frostedwonder]

What do you use for odor control or is that setup just for seedling-veg? I put my fan that is pushing air out of my cab on my light cycle to save on electricity but I forgot about back pressure and dampers so the smell kinda escapes my box. I am using a cold place so I had to play around with cycles and fans just to keep things warm without too much spike during a grow. I am sure I have slowed and shocked mine but at the price of learning yeah great.

[Rubberbubbler]

I use a phresh filter they are good for 2 years. No smell problems or negative presser in the room. I use a 6 to 4 inch reducer for the incoming air. I use 2 600 watters so buy the time the air exits the blower its about 68-70 degrees.
I can close the tent up and have no air pulled through at all and it will not go over 75. I want to try a little home made co2 contraption when I start flowering so this will be good that I can zip the tent up without heat build up.
I am saving up for the Hydro innovations ice box complete setup I should have it bye July. Heirs a pic of my home made blower it has 4 different speeds.

[attachment=o235019]

[deleafer2220]

I'm struggling with the LA Conf too.. One did not take and the other is a mutant seedling..

[Rubberbubbler]

1 of the 3 la conf is doing real good I don't know why they are starting to wrinkle but I am sure they will pull through.

[meglatron]

Linking it so far - I will keep an eye on this one :jointsmile:

[Rubberbubbler]

I added the other 600w to try and speed things up its to crowded I knew it was going to be to many I am about to take some clones and get them rooted. I have decided to not mess with any males right now. I have 15 more beans anyway. so I will wait for the clones to take root before I flip the switch. I am hoping to have 8 or 9 females but you get what you get.

[Rubberbubbler]

Has anyone cloned any of these strains? If so did you get them to stick? Have not try-ed yet just wondering.

[mainegrown]

shouldnt be too hard.. cloning is way overrated..

~MG a.k.a. le Maine développé

[Rubberbubbler]

cloning is not the problem. curtain strains are harder to clone than others just wondering if anyone else has made clones from these strains.

[redtails]

Successfully got the kushberry x skunk to clone pretty easily, only one I've grown so far.

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks for letting me know. I took some cuttings last night in attempt to get ride of a few from the tray its just plane out crowded.

30 days today
[attachment=o235586]

[redtails]

Growing like weeds huh? Hah

[Rubberbubbler]

Some stinky weeds. Never had plants in veg that smell so strong.

[mainegrown]

damn.. they stink in veg?? mine dont really smell till week 3-4 flower :( i want some of those stinky buds..
hope the grow goes good.. and you have plenty of space for them to grow into
~MG

[Rubberbubbler]

Still lots of room to grow if they would let me bend them but they are very stiff like a tree not flimsy what so ever. They are starting to grow up words a little probably because they are crowded. They are starting to take off sense I add the other 600w

[Rubberbubbler]

The La conf X skunk is making a comeback.

[attachment=o235713]

[deleafer2220]

Got a La Conf X Skunk in a hempy for little less then a week now everything normal will keep you updated ( Other never made it out the Peat Puck :( )

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks man, The other 2 are taking off. I noticed when I upped the nuts a little more it started to grow. I was almost ready to weed it out.

[mainegrown]

good to know its doing well..
hope there is no need..
to treat it as a weed:)

~MG a.k.a. le Maine développé

[Rubberbubbler]

Whats up everyone, Welcome to the 3x3 jungle lol. They are starting to let me bend them a little so I started with a few on the sides to get more light in the middle. The kushberry and sleestack cuttings have rooted still waiting on the rest to take root. The nuts drooped 150 ppm sense I changed the res 3 days ago. I goofed up on how much I raised the nuts Instead of going 200 ppm higher I went 400 ppm than last time. They seem to be taking well to the upped nuts Though. I am going to flip the switch Just worried about the clones not rooting its would be my luck I could always re-veg or try and take a few more clones of the ones that have not rooted as the branches are alot bigger than when I took the first cuttings.

[attachment=o236088]

[attachment=o236089]

[deleafer2220]

Glad to hear the other two taking off :thumbsup: My little one seems to like a fair amount of nutes with her meal too

[frostedwonder]

I could live in that jungle...I would change my name to something like Liger or Chupalacabra but I would survive and thrive....now where is my headband and crocs...I will check back later..

[Rubberbubbler]

Frost you can live in my jungle anytime. On one condition you have to bring some of those frosty meds you got going on lol. :stoned:

[danlboy]

Anxoiusly awaiting an update RB, this is the same setup I will be using (except DR100 and only 1 600 watt)

[Rubberbubbler]

Heirs a little update. So fare I have 2 Kandy kush x skunk females a kushberry x skunk female and a og 18 x skunk female. I am still waiting on the rest to show their sex. The Kandy kush is the the tallest one and of course its in the middle. I should have Known to put the kush crosses on the outsides of the table but I will manage once I can weed out some males and tie them down. I have had to raise the light every day for the past 3 days due to the Kandy kush stretching and hogging all the light.

[redtails]

Looking mighty healthy. How're the clones doing? I can partly see them in that one pic...

[Rubberbubbler]

The clones are doing real good. I have a few more In the doom that I took just in case. I am buying another grow lab this week along with a 400w switchable electronic ballast and a air cooled hood the same as my other 2 then in a couple of weeks I am going to get another ebb and flow with another net-well this will be my veg room. Then I will scrog the tray while the other girls are still flowering so My next grow should be real nice.

[attachment=o236906]

[redtails]

Sounds like a plan! The ones in the top right container in that pic look the closest to my kushberry in terms of leaf structure...am I right?

[Rubberbubbler]

The top right is actually la conf. The first container to the left is the kush berry They are looking a little rough at the moment Thats because the cfl fixture fell on them and cooked them Little so I cut some of it off about 5 days ago. They are growing now. Give it a few day's and Ill post another pic so we can compare. your plant is looking real nice. :thumbsup:

[redtails]

Thanks, she's my little clone that's probably going to continue 12/12. Sorry about the light, looks like it did a real number on that one! The mom is unfortunately going to be adopted by a friend and living with him after the 15th :(. She's all trimmed up and looking sexy, ready to give a dozen or so cuts at any given time...

[Rubberbubbler]

She sure is pretty. Sorry to heir you have to put her up for adoption.

[Rubberbubbler]

Ended up with 6 females 8 males and one of the og 18 x skunk just hasn't shown yet:wtf: I have 2 Kandy kush x skunk 2 kushberry x skunk 1 sleestack x skunk 1 og 18 x skunk and 0 La conf x skunk:( I picked up another grow lab
I also bought a 8 inch max fan with a 8 to 2 6 inch Y ducts and a 400 watt switchable next gen ballast with a another yield master ll air cooled hood. In a couple of weeks I am going to buy another 3x3 ebb and flow table and the grow well insert. Income tax is gone:( But have some new toys:D

[attachment=o237347]

[redtails]

Sorry bout the LA conf! I was worried with only 3 seeds of each what the ratio would be...

[Rubberbubbler]

I have 3 more la conf x skunk seeds left so hopefully I can get a female. I wont know though for about 2 more months.

[Rubberbubbler]

The og 18 x skunk is a female it just needed a little more light thats why it took so long for her to show. Now their are 7 females. Dam close to 50/50

[Rubberbubbler]

Its been only 4 days and they are exploding. If this keeps up I will have to start thinking outside the box lol.

[attachment=o237703]

[attachment=o237704]
This kushberry x skunk did this almost over night!

[middieman440]

are they stinky...

[Rubberbubbler]

They do smell like a skunk for sure. I think they took mostly after the skunk. Me and my wife were gone all day and came back and it smelled like a skunk got into the house literally. I don;t have my carbon filter hooked up but I am going to hook it up before they get to fare into flowering.

[Rubberbubbler]

Its been 20 days sense I flipped the switch. They are finally doing something. I have been using full strength fox farm nuts and open sesame soluble. I am Going to switch over to beastie bloomz for a week then its on to the cha ching. I never used this stuff before. I hope its good. The kandy kush x skunk is a beast.

Very nice. :thumbsup:

I'm curious to see if the Skunk-cross tones down the stretch of the Kandy Kush.

FWIW, I flipped a KK @ 24", it'll be finishing soon @ ~56".

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks! The kandy kush is not stretching as much as the og 18. They have doubled in size almost in the past 2 weeks.

Fell free to post a pic anyone for that mater I would love to get a peek at whats to come! This is my first cronic grow.

[jtsik330]

awesome grow RB!! I got a few sleestacks on the starting now. I'm just praying for a successful grow:)

[Rubberbubbler]

awesome grow RB!! I got a few sleestacks on the starting now. I'm just praying for a successful grow:)

Thanks for the kind words. I hope you are successfully in your grow:thumbsup:
The sllestack x skunk is a rather short and somewhat bushy plant. I do believe they would be a nice plant if I did not have the Kandy kush hogging all of the light.

[Rubberbubbler]

How many weeks into flowering will most plants stretch? I have always grown a unknown strain that really never stretched at all. They seem to be slowing down quit bait.

[redtails]

Yeah, I've usually seen them stop by 3 weeks into flower at the latest, usually within a week after you notice buds starting to form they are mostly done stretching for me.

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks. They seem to be coming to a stop.

[attachment=o238060]

[attachment=o238061]

[attachment=o238062]

[redtails]

Wow, that sure is quite a bit of stretch! You going to prune the bottoms at all?

[Rubberbubbler]

I did not plane on pruning the bottoms. The leaves at the bottom have not had much light for about a month but they all are doing good. I have never had such big plants should I prune? Will it effect my yield?

[stra8outtaWeed]

when your plants get too tight and not enough air can circulate through them...but they are looking really nice....in the first week of bloom i use bushmaster to control the "stretch"...also increases yield....one application is all it takes:jointsmile:

i hate when mine gets too tight because then the lower buds don't get that big and they pull energy from the plant keeping your tops from really swelling up....and in harvest it is a pain trimming the little tiny stuff....keep it up though you'll find the formula that works for you:thumbsup:

great lookin grow!:smokin:

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks Friend. The next batch will be better next grow using clones. I have a free sample of bush masters from the hydro store I will give it a shot next grow. I also have free samples of gravity and purple maxx. Has anybody ever used these products? I use fox farm solubles so I don't even think I could use them.

[stra8outtaWeed]

there is something on the label about using it in hydrponic application that isn't good....gravity is one of those products with mixed reviews..some luv it and i have heard of it messing crops up...read the directions on the Bushmaster....it says more is not better....i would start with about 2ml/gal and see how it does if they are continuing to stretch more than you like you can do a 2nd app within the first 2 weeks but once you find dosage that you like it only takes 1 application applyed within the first 2 weeks of flower...i like my plants vegged to size i like and i hit them with it on day 1 :thumbsup:

i use 3ml/gal of BM :jointsmile:

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks for the info.:thumbsup:

[Rubberbubbler]

Heir are a couple more pics. I had to shorten the table and the res. They were hugging the light when I woke up yesterday.

[attachment=o238274] [attachment=o238275]

[stra8outtaWeed]

you should have some nice nugz off that girl! :smokin:

[Rubberbubbler]

I can only hope. We will see what happens in the next 30 to 40 days.

[Rubberbubbler]

I forgot to post this one. This is the Kandy kush stalk. I had to remove the lid before it was to late. You can see were it was starting to grow around it.

[attachment=o238276]

[redtails]

Damn that's a nice thick stalk! Glad you caught it early enough, that would suck to go in there only to find the nutrient flow's been cut off because the stalk grew too thick for the lid. I'm really liking how the kushberry I have is doing, very tolerant of little stresses and the perfect hybrid for a christmas tree shape.

As for the trimming, I like to remove the bottom set or two of branches and a few other runty offshoots and have noticed that it doesn't really affect yield positively or negatively, like str8 said you will come upon your own style with a little experimentation.

How long are you going to veg the clones or are you turning them into mothers? I vegged mine for maybe 5 days after roots formed and she's about 20" tall right now with 10 nodes and her stretch is done. I think it would make a great SOG with some of that bushmaster...

[superskunk1]

Nice ladies you have there i will try to keep up with this log as im doing a skunk train of strains as well.

Hope everything goes well looks like you have everything under control

I have (seedsman seeds skunk mix 10 hybrids) as well as (3 sleestack x skunk) and (1 lemon skunk that is feminized)

Thanks. I am keeping the clones for mother plants. I usually take clones right before I start to flower and then make the new cuts into vegged plants for the next run so I usually do not have a mother plant but I think it would be a good idea to keep the clones I have as mother plants. I think I read some were that if you clone the clone that you cloned it will start to diminish the quality. I have no Idea if this is accurate but I do not want to chance it.
I am a little worried that if in the next run when I hit them with the bush masters it will effect the sleestack and the kushberry they both stretched the same and only half as much as the Kandy and og. I might just run the Kandy kush and og in one tent and sleestack and kushberry in the other. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I might just run the Kandy kush and og in one tent and sleestack and kushberry in the other. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.


If you have the spare room that sounds like a worthy shot, or one idea I just had would be to plant them in a stadium i.e. Kandy & og around the outside with the shorter sleestack & kb in the center?

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks. That could work out good it would be worth a try. The Kandy and og stretched about a foot and a half taller than the other to.

[stra8outtaWeed]

is this your first time growing the OG? she stretches big time...about 3 times the size from day 1 of flower.....i use Bushmaster to keep mine from hitting the ceiling...will also increase your yield! :thumbsup:

[Rubberbubbler]

This is my first time growing any know strain I have been growing a unknown bag seed That were ganeticly hermies. I hit them with dutch masters reverse.
This is all the stretch I am used to seeing.

I am not expecting much out of this kushberry
or the sleestack. Maybe next time.

[stra8outtaWeed]

looks nice...you may be doing some creative bending to keep those girls from pushing your light through the top of your tent! :jointsmile:

[Rubberbubbler]

If things get to out of control I can always take them out of the tent and hang the lights from the ceiling. Then I will be able to turn the table but I would rather try and keep them in the tent. I will see what happens then do whatever it takes to keep them going.

[Rubberbubbler]

This is the kushberry it wasn't like that yesterday. I don't know how I could have missed that but I think its cool.

[attachment=o238642]

[redtails]

Right on, you got some bud growing from the leaves!

[redtails]

Got some nice buds forming! I had to throw my clone outside to continue flowering due to giving away my setup, but at least the buds are still forming well outside right now...

[middieman440]

can we say YUMMMMMMMAYYYYYY!!!! i got all these as well but im only going to grow the og and la conf this yr..


but very good so i take it these are legit and somewhat stable???

They smell so good especially the og and the Kandy. I wish I would have got a female of the la conf but I have 3 More seeds so I will give it another shot. As for being legit I would guess so. Not sure never smoked any of the the strains they are crossed with. I never smelled anything like them. so I have high hopes. Thanks for stooping bye.

[Rubberbubbler]

Smells so good I want to take a bite than strap a nug to my nose. LOL.

you know you're a grower when....you enjoy the smell of skunk!:smokin:

nice and frosty!:thumbsup:

[Rubberbubbler]

They only smell like a skunk outside of the room but when you put your nose to the bud they are very sweet smelling. I figure I should be able to harvest between the 26th of march and the 8th of April.

Hey rubberbubbler
Wow awesome buds, I just saw your reply and haven't dropped by your log in a long time I never had the chance to reply back.

So to answer your question I haven't made a log yet but I have germinated all the seeds and will let you know when I get the chance to log it.

I do have a question for you, how much did the sleestack x skunk stretch during flowering?
I have one that is going through preflowering and it's a foot and a half.
Also how did it react to nutes compared to your other strains?
I had a bagseed and a sleestack growing next to eachother and the sleestack x skunk was eating up the nutes and seemed to want more.

Thanks

[Rubberbubbler]

The sleestack only got about 2 feet not much stretch at all for me. I only got one female of her though so you could end up with a different feno. As for nut uptake she is a heavy feeder I am currently using full strength fox farm nuts with the solubles. ppm is about 1400 and she showed no sings of nut burn.

I went to go snap a few pics before the lights came on and usually the light comes on right as I'm done flashing a few pics but I realized that it was a hour early because of daylight savings. Do you guys think I stressed them by flashing the camera about six times. I was only in the room for about 3 minutes. I am worried that they will stress on me and go hermi.:mad:

[redtails]

I don't think you'll have a problem if it was pretty close to lights on, but yes the flash does screw with the photoperiod.

Thanks I guess worse case I will have the mystery skunk train fem seeds:jointsmile: I was looking over the plants and noticed that the mutant kushberry started to through out nannies as well as my only sleestack plant.
The two plants were side by side and they were the smallest at about 2 feet so I think they were a little stressed from lack of light and to much N possibly.After the fox farm schedule changed to using tiger bloom in the mix It brought me up to 1400 ppm Im noticing a little nut burn so I am going to start cutting back on the nuts maybe to half strength. My plants drink 2 gallons of water a day and I only run a 20 gallon res so I have been changing the res about every 6th day. This is wear my plants usually start to look like shit. So I am trying not to screw this up This is my third run with the ebb and flow so I am still learning. any advice is much appreciated.

looking frosty there dude....im doing this cross and the og#18 cross im going to start them this week and will be putting them outdoors...nice bud shot though

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks. The og 18 smells and looks fantastic. I ended up with 2 differnt feno typs.

[Rubberbubbler]

I have a question. I was wondering I have clones under 24 hour light schedule that I am about to flower can I change the photo period of flowering so they flower at night instead of the day.

[stra8outtaWeed]

sure you can bro....the only thing to do is let them be dark for the extra time that lights would normall be on until you choose the new starting time...a little extra dark time will not hurt them if they have one really long "night"

i have done this before when switching from running lights on during the day to lights on at night:thumbsup:

great lookin nugs by the way:smokin:

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks man I have been racking my brain over this. I will post a update with pics later.

[middieman440]

anything new going yet with this grow!!

[DogtowN]

Thanks man I have been racking my brain over this. I will post a update with pics later.

I hope the "Skunk Train" hasn't derailed. :( Really interested in seeing how some of those crosses worked out!

[guitarman42]

Skunk Train has crasheded "cough"":rastasmoke::wtf::hippy::pimp::rasta::smokin:

[demoreal]

You have sweet growing style

The leaves of the plant look like my trainwreck clone. I am in California.

[bubadutep75]

nice grow tent setup, I would like to get one eventually but I am worried about temperature problems.

[HydroLife]

Hey Rubberbubbler,

I know this grow log is from a while ago, but I'm hoping that you get this question because I can't find help about this issue.

I am currently using flood tables with individual pots filled with hydroton and placing the pots on top of more hydroton. I am sick of using all of this hydroton!! I plan to switch to a system similar to yours. I ordered some Botanicare grow tray lids for my trays and I'm going to cut some holes for 5" net pots. This will drastically reduce my need for hydroton :)

My question is.. With the roots suspended/exposed like that, how often do you have to feed them? (how often do you flood your table, and for how long?) Are you using any sprayers in there or just a simple flood and drain?

Until I saw your grow log I planned to have the tray constantly flooded with a bunch of air stones in there to give the roots oxygen, like a SWC (shallow water culture). I thought the roots would dry out too fast without a medium in the tray, but it looks like you do periodic floods. This is great news! If you still check this log will you please share your ways with me??

Thanks!!

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks. the kandy kush had trainwreck gens

[Rubberbubbler]

I like the to use the 3x3 tables so I can use the netwell. Thats the wite plastic with the hols for the baskets. Look through my grow log and see the pic showing the roots. Its not alot of hydroton this also made the plants not tip over one the root stated to intertwined with each other. I flood my tables for times a day you need to to watch the roots to really Know how many times you should flood your tables to make sure the roots do not start to dry out. simple flood and drain is all I used but if you are makeing you own system you need to make sure the flood and drain fitting are at the proper hight so no need for spryers. Sorry it took me so long to respond Some things changed in my life very quikly and I had to pack it away but Know im back on the forums. I hope you have already figiuerd this out though good luck.
