[The White Snoop]

Looks nice..So its SWC?

:thumbsup:

[BlackBliss]

It is a complete Recirculating SWC/Flood & Drain System. :)

[bud breath420]

Nice lookin setup there bud how much did that set you back? Ive been thinkin of trying hydro for a while now.. just never wanted to put money to it until now.. Anyway if you were closer to me mate id get you some clones, when you do get something in their its gonna be awesome.. good luck on the clones!!

[BlackBliss]

Thanks man, much appreciated, btw i hope your right.....actually i have enough confidence to say this grow will go better than any ive done before :)
peace dude!

Hey dude how are you doing?

On the next round dude switch it to a top feed drip system over a flood & drain. You have the making there so why not grow fast and big with it dude.

Nice construction too btw.

Something to think about.
If you have the room you can place another c-13 type of cab next to this one to hold the res. It would give you more top room in the grow cab and help to keep the water cooler not having it in the same area as your light.

[CaliJay]

Love your work bro. It is obvious this venture will be successful as you definitly don't mind putting in the required work.
What area are you in? Genetics could come your wat if you are in the right area.
Peace-J

Hey bro, yeah this is the latest beast......uummm it is top feed but instead of drip, im gonna have it on a on and off timer, most likely 6-8 transitions a day, also in the bottom of the pot baskets i added about 2cm worth of rockwool to retain a little bit of moisture for the couple of hours of break inbetween each feed (water)
Basically the solutions get pumped up the little black pipe from the resevoir tub, then along the little black pipes attached to the 2 big white ones, then when the black pipes meet the pot baskets i have put little slow releasing sprayer's.....one in each pot basket......solution then drains down threw the pebbles (air stones) then threw the 2cm of rockwool, then into the inside of the big white tubes,....then flows to a 1.5" drainage tube i put in the middle of the big white tubes but at the bottom so the water (solutions) can drain back out straight into the res....only to be pumped back up again........the only way the solutions in this tub are going down is if the plants drink it, and if i have to top it up, then i know they are drinking :)
I can't wait man, been tryin my hardest to get cloones, but everyone wants to much for em ya know.....so im germinating my own....ill keep ya's all posted!
Thanks for ya help Zan my man
talk soon buddy.

[Zandor]

Ah....I get it now, you sleep with your plants....:D

[BlackBliss]

Most deffinately sir :D :thumbsup:

[BlackBliss]

high guys, im still waiting on those beans to hurry up and grow bigger tap roots before i plant them in small 1" rockwool cubes till they sprout, then ill be planting (burrying) the rockwool cubes into the baskets pots and cover the cubes with the pebbles.......leaving only the little sprouts to do their work.............hopefully this process will take place within the next 24-48 hrs.....keep ya stoner's posted k
btw here is a picture of the finished production of my new set up.......and my new hydroponic fan........i have better exhaust now, allowing me to possibly goto 600watt now instead of the 400watter.
Peace Out & Happy Tokes Guys n' Girls.
Mr Bliss. :thumbsup:

[Inspector420]

Hey man just an observation...

That carpet is nasty bro... It wouldnt hurt to clean the room before you start growing. After all there will be some humidity in there, and there are probably some type of critters in that carpet fo sho.

But other than that I cant wait to see your results, cool setup...

[misk]

lol fuk the carpet

nice setup man, disapointed u didnt go for the drip :(
woulda been a kuta system!

nice clean setup tho :)
will be good to see how it goes

[latewood]

Like the set-up...

BTW...Some where above I thought you mentioned that this wasn't a drip system.?.? You are doing drip. drip is supplying nutrients from the top via irrigation lines/driplines. then it goes throught he hydroton filled netpot...just like you describe. Then drains and recirculates.

So you have a 4"pvc recirculating drip system. Did I miss something?

Oh yeah...You better put some type of porous block in the drains...So that the roots don't follow the path down...It happens...If you can.

Nice system though. it'll work, can't wait to see performance???

Peace

High latewood mate.....ummmm the Fat white pvc tubeing is infact 6" and the plastic pot baskets are 4", all is good though :thumbsup:
Also bro, I use a 1000LPH (Litres Per Hour) pump, which is pumping that much water pressure out of the six sites theres no way that could even be considered drip??? Irrigation > yes, Drip > no.
The pressure actually makes mine spray like a hose turned on full blast.....a drip in my eyes is considered a slow releasing water supply system, not fast water pressured system.
anyway i hope it goes smoothly as i know you guys do too...... :)
Not long now till the babies sprout, then im going plant them and start the system on its timer for the first time!!! :D
hope & wish ya happy tokes late mang!!! :stoned:
(Chat or Boards either way)....Talk soon buddy,
Mr Bliss.

[floyd2zapper]

Hi,

Is this copied from (THURSDAYS) design at (PS) it looks exactly the same i was going to make one myself so i will take a front row seat for this one and see how you get on with it GL.

Take it easy.:thumbsup:

[latewood]

well, we run dripper lines wide open with a 600gph pump and it is much like your describing...We still call it drip, but I like your argument...all good. Irrigation Ok...I will buy that, then we are all irrigating our plants...LOL

Actually I went back to the drip stakes and like it very much...so far...................I feel the wind changin direction's...LOL

[BlackBliss]

LOL.....which direction ? :D can you fore-see? :thumbsup:

[bud breath420]

Hey BB,

So are you a floyd fan cool check this still got my ticket from a concert they did at earls court.The day before i went the stand collapsed where i was going to sit so they re-issued new tickets as we arrived for that stand.So i got to keep the whole ticket intact lucky hey. I was tripping when i went and it was the funniest thing ever did'nt remember most of it but it all came back to me when my bird bought me the vid of the concert.

Yeah man, pink floyd rocks in my honest opinion.....so other than the stand collapsing....was it good?
I wish they would do a tour around aussie land.

Wow, those things are growing so fast. I can't wait to grow hydroponically myself for that very reason.

[Splifted]

Hey man, I remember you posting like drawings of this system or something before you built it i think, but did you ever post like a guide as to how to make one yourself? If you could post some plans for how to make one like yours you'd be my hero :D

[Abattoir Dream]

wow, Blackbliss... I dont think ive really ever spoken to you before so... hello!

lol your grow looks sweet man, sure is growing quick too, ive been thinking of looking into hydroponics recently, and this has only made me think about it more :) nice grow m8.. good luck ;)

Take ie easy BB.:jointsmile:

[orangeman]

Bliss you are really good at Hydro lol. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference of hydro or soil if I was just shown this plant and not the medium it was in. Some peoples Hydro plants look so strange and unhealthy, but your plants look so healthy! Keep us updated :jointsmile:.

[stinkyattic]

[BlackBliss]

Hiya fellow stoners,
Thanks wesley & annie for your well appreciated comments.
Here's some New Updates.
Take Care guys
- Peace -
Bliss.

[floyd2zapper]

Hey (BB),

Looking good man there growing mega fast the stem on the first pic looks fat considering they are still pretty young.I might give your system a try what size pipes are you using for the plants to sit in.Keep up the good work and them updates coming.:smokin:


Take it easy (BB) :D

[BlackBliss]

Hey floyd,
The white pipes are 6" with 4" pot baskets.
Take care man, & thank you for the reply :)
Peace Out,
Bliss.

[BlackBliss]

High fellow cannabis smokers,
I have been doing a little experiment on 1 of plants
(The center front row plant)
I topped it about 3 nodes from the very top, but i cut it just above the node leaving the 2 branches at the node, then cut the big leaves off that meet at the branches and the node, then take a sterile razor blade and make a vertical insition down the centre of the main stem where you from where you topped it to just above the next node.......this is called the topping & splitting technique....

Basically:
The first stage to this is the topping technique.
(This promotes lower growth.)
The second stage is the splitting technique.
(This creates 2 main stems instead of 1.)
Here is some pictures to help describe what i am talking about!
Take Care fellow stoners, hope ya's enjoy the show!
~Peace~
Bliss.

[floyd2zapper]

Hey (BB)

Thanks for the info on the pipes man.I like the sound of the topping and splitting technique have you done this before or is it the first time you have used it.They seem to be gowing fast what strength are your nutes at and any chance of a pic of the roots.

:D

Take it easy m8.:smokin:

[Kindbud]

sounds like a plan . after I hermied these 2 grape kush pheno2s i got .. we're sure 1 is female already. day 7,and growin real fast , thanks for savin my ass with these hybrid kush's though, I really want to grow them out . others are mango and kc36, I'll have plenty more inqueries where that came from : P Thanks tons ,peace out

[misk]

looking good BB :)
reminds me of mine wen they were young lol
good luck with it all

[Abattoir Dream]

hey kind bud, small plants like that dont need massive pots, the better the size of the pot in proportion to the plant faster it will grow, you just need to aim for that perfect ratio... - good luck...

oh, and bb, u look like your doin just fine ;)

[BlackBliss]

High fellow cultivators, misk, Abbatoir Dream.
Thank you for ur replies dudes.
Here's the Updates, they are getting very very close to flower time lol
Im in the process of deciding to induce flowering now or wait a couple more days, but im sure i'll figure it out.....anyway, i hope ya'll take it easy and enjoy the rest of the show! :stoned: :rastasmoke: :jointsmile:
Peace Out & Happy Tokes!
Talk soon stoner's,
Bliss.

[latewood]

Well Bliss...I finally got a chance to really look over your set-up and I must say...Bro, Nice job. I love the pan full of clones or rockwool blocks on the floor! I have a question. what brand and cfm is that fan? cost? Sorry, If I missed it above. It looks like one of those fans I thought about buying, but wasn't sure if It was quality. later

[BlackBliss]

Hey man, its a GRD 8" 550 cfm, it cost $220, got it from the hydro store near here. (its funny, i dont even have to close my doors, they get "sucked" shut if half shut already haha......does my head in sometimes lol.
take it easy mate - Peace-
Bliss.

[BlackBliss]

hey guys. sorry been a while, as you can see i have caught myself a bit of lower and outta leaf damage, all good now, they are recovered and still growing.....just a silly mistake i happened to make, so simple yet so costly, they will all survive but i was meant to flower a week ago as some of you might already know, so it kinda delay'd things, anyway, now they are back to growing instead of having to focus on recovering, now i have put them into flower.....currectly in the 24-36 hour darkness period, after that they will be on 12/12........anyway just thought id keep ya's updated!
Peace out fellow farmers & stoners!!!
Bliss.

[BlackBliss]

High stoners, growers, and fellow members.....
Hope you all enjoy the updates!
Take care now,
Peace Out!!
Bliss.

[bud breath420]

Looking good Bliss my man I cant tell you enough.. will you be keeping a mother for your next grow? any way im off hope you get your pickup today good luck mate.. :jointsmile:

[Kindbud]

hey abatoir? Q:What do plants do ? A:They grow ! I don't like rootbound plants, soon to be in 5-gallon buckets these babies have plenty of root area.Thanks though man :rasta: and BB ! can you say maximum bud sites? Those plants are so healthy bro, can't wait till you flick the ol' 12/12 switch:D later on everybody

[Wesley Pipes]

[BlackBliss]

Hello friends,
Thank you for the comments and questions....

Hey kind, they have been in 12/12 for 3 days now man, 4 days including the darkness period.....

anyway dudes.....take care and enjoy the rest of the show!
Peace Out
Bliss.

[Splifted]

Looking fucking good man, your setup is the shit. You should get a pic of inside the pvc tube with all the roots once you're finished. I'm curious to see what they look like.

[BlackBliss]

hahaha, me too man..me too
I just have to wait till their 100% harvested & that no more drops of liquid are getting pumped threw it.... then ill take it apart and show ya mate ;)
Take Care dude,
Peace!
Bliss.

[Abattoir Dream]

lookin good bliss... cant wait to see them flowering ;)


hey abatoir? Q:What do plants do ? A:They grow ! I don't like rootbound plants, soon to be in 5-gallon buckets these babies have plenty of root area.Thanks though man

lol i dont like rootbound plants either, but when a small plant has a big pot, it develops its root system more than usuall, which uses growing energy, which means smaller plants, then when you re-pot you need even bigger pots, so the roots dont get rootbound, then you end up with huge pots, and small plants, which is a waste of growspace...

i know what u mean though, they do still grow... im just lettin u know, so you can keep it in mind for next time :) peace ppl...

[latewood]

those stalks getting fatter and fatter...can't wait to see your buddage!

[BlackBliss]

Hiya stoners, growers and fellow friends.
thanks you all once again for the nice comments
So heres the updates, Day 9 of flower and i have 4 females, 1 killed male, and 1 still to be identified......
I hope you can all see the difference flowering makes (for those who dont already know ~ new growers ect ect), i am trying to make a good example of how they double, sometimes triple in size in the flowering stage!
Anyway cheers for the support guys.
Take care and enjoy the rest of the show!
Peace,
Bliss.

[misk]

lookin good dude
guna get fun from here on in :)

[BlackBliss]

Hey misk, thanks dude, hope you all enjoy the rest of the show.......killed 2 males, got 4 females, im happy, now to let them do their "thang"

Hey Bliss,

What a fantastic grow and thread. You have a great system there. I have been following and read all you have posted. I am on my first grow DWC. I am very interested in a cleaner looking system as yours and eagerly awaiting your results. From what I am seeing they will far exceed my needs and I will be looking into the same type system. Thanks for the info.:thumbsup:
