Grow a Pound the 319 way

[weeddaddy50]

319.....I would never lower anyones rating. You are doing a great job and keep your quest going.

As far a cloning goes....I used a cloning machine for over a year with good success, but I am back to the dome and rock wool and clonex.....faster roots....easier to plant and hardly lose a plant. if done right almost 100% success.

Good luck....your pictures are very nice.

No hard feelings I was just joking. I have also stated that I wanted this log to be more detailed and organized then what it is. But maybe the one after this or that one.

Just scoped the trichomes I have a few very cloudy about to turn amber so I believe harvest for two of the ladies will be due on the 29th. This will put me at 10 weeks for the PPP, the other two are a week behind that.

I figure that Ill throw the Ice in flower around the 15th of July so I guess 10 weeks after that we will have or harvest.

I also had one of the plants go hermi weeks ago its had weird growth from the start. It's my first hermi ever. I will post some pictures of what the plant looks like in a few days. Since its just me who smokes this I could care less if my buds were seeded or not. But it seems that I caught it early, snipped the balls off and it didn't pollinate any plants in the tent. Like I said it was my first time with a hermi and I wanted to experiment. But I was afraid that there were going to be balls inside the buds.

The daisy cloner 8 already clogged once for about 4 hours. Cleaned it out plants sprang back to life still no roots or bumps but I'm going to give it 10 days. The big pump and small res cause the water to run a little warm.

Plants are looking good! hopefully my grow/grow log goes aswell as this soon. Good luck with the rest of the grow ill be watching (Hmm that sounded sorta stalkerish)

Cangroit- I just can't get past the yields using hydro. But I do like how personal it is with soil, doesn't seem that way to me. I like getting my hands dirty. But more then likely I will switch to NFT or DWC. Thanks for following.

Weeddaddy- You can lower the rating if you want. This is the internet and only my internet feelings would be hurt.

Well sorry for the late reply having a busy week. I ordered some new stuff that was suggested by a another member. Great White & liquid Karma are the new products that I'll throw into this grow, just following the label nothing fancy.

I also picked up a Daisy Cloner 8, 3 days so far no roots. I am just using PH'd water, I know that they recommend using all sorts of stuff but just seeing if water will work for now. Also the huge pump that they have in the small res. is definitely warming the water not sure on how this might effect growth. If anyone has use this with good results let me know, PM or post. Thanks.

I also picked up another air pump and 5 gal bucket, I am going to experiment with 2 smaller waters a week. First water will be an all bacteria water and the 2nd will be feeding those bacteria and microbes. So I'm really looking forward to all of this.
Now if you read my other thread I'm almost 100% sure that Ill be making the switch to coco more then likely to sunshine #4 for the next few grow. Hopefully I can build a medium that will dry out in 3-4 days.

:thumbsup:

Lookin good man, keep it up
Leave the dirt outside!!
Sunshine #4 is excellent..Ive used it with everything from the fox farm, Earth Juice, Botanicare's cns17 and their Pure blends ALL with excellent results.I think it has actually improved my overall performance/Quality and its priced right.. 3cu.ft. compressed bail for 35 and some change...



go 319!!

Growloco, thanks man. Be on the lookout for Growloco grow. He's been giving me a lot of sound advice.

Ill post pics tomorrow, of the PPP new supplies and the 12/12 log.

Well I've been debating back in fourth if I'm going to do hydro. I decided to scrap this grow but not the log. My 12/12 from seed will continue, I'll probably do a few more soil grows until I run out of EJ. I have 8 new clones in the cloner first ones turned out great.

I have so far:
4x4 tray
(2) 396 pumps
PPM meter
ph meter basic hana model

What else do I need?
Hydrotron
Pots (What size, if flowering nine?)
Res size?
Anything else let me know!

I would like to flower 9 plants. How long of a veg period would you use with 9 plants in a 4x4 under 600w? How often would I water these plants per day?

What is a good organic hydro line?

I'll purchase some more stuff tomorrow, looking into buying some sort of veg station either dwc or a smaller top drip... I dont know. Got the latest product mag in my hand and 75 cents in the other.

I hope these plants will be ready to be flowered around the 20th of July. Stay tune and help this hydro-newbie out!!

A lot of this might not make any sense, I have a lot of reading ahead of me these next few days. Ahh Cannabis how do I luv thee.

Ok.. figuring some thing out. I believe I'll use 2 gallon pots with hydroton. flooding 15min 4 times a day like tinytoon suggested on my previous post.

Don't have the nutes down just yet but organicare is looking very nice. I know many people have had problems with earth juice bloom and grow in hydro but are you able to use there additives with success or should I look into the whole organicare line?

I'm going use my veg tent to hold my master kush mother, ice mother and granddaddy purple mother. Ill have my cloner in there. Once 9 plants are cloned transfer into ebb n flow. Run about 2-4 weeks veg then flip. How does that sound? I know I'll have to dial somethings in but trying to get an estimate on the veg time.

I'll probably save some power buy switching to a T5 4 bulb 2 foot, and a dual T8 2 foot light strip for my clones.

Anyway, Ill probably be up all night trying to sort this out.

welp.. after a night of reading different logs and labels. I decided to go with fox farm. For my first hydro grow I figure the investment will be worth it.

I'm going to follow their chart:
http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf

So tomorrows buy/do list:
RO system
Fox Farm
Pots
Build a PVC stand
And update both logs with pics.

Almost have everything I need to turn this into a hydro grow. I really thought that they would be very close to ready now, but still cloudy trichs. Does anyone have the soil flower time for PPP? It will be 10 weeks for the first two on the 26th.

Anyway let me get back into the lab working some big things out.

:thumbsup: great looking tops there. They're going to be well worth waiting a bit for.
I'm interested to see how you go switching to hydro, I've only done soil so far so it'll be a good thing to watch and learn.

[319]

Rattlingsdags, thanks for keeping up with this grow. I have good amount of equipment for the small space that I'm in and my girl is complaining about all of my shit. I believe hydro will help me scale back, no more bags of soil, earthworm casting etc that it really takes to grow great organic bud. I will say this though if I had a place in the country or a big fenced back yard I would stay organic.

I really can't wait to get into this hydro thing. I'm planning on head to head nutrient shootouts, maybe I can find some members to help me grow using there favorite brand? I figure I'm coming from EJ nutes and I have no relationship with any hydro-nute company and I think its time for growers to see who is the best of the best between these high dollar nutrient companies. I did call Advanced today and their customer service wasn't the best.

I would like to test a three part series vs. a multi-series nutrient such as Fox Farm or GH vs. Advanced Connoisseur or Humboldt master program. I can't really say when this might happen but I can for see it happening within the next 3 grows.

I just want to get the jitter bugs out of my system, not saying that I should be a hydro master in 3 grows, but at least I won't be so nervous.

I have some very good strains coming in and I have some top notch strains around me Super Lemon Haze, Purple Haze, Ice of course, and OG Masterkush. I really want to get two more mothers just to have on standby maybe C99 this DJ Short Blueberry that I was able to track down.

I did harvest two of the PPP today I don't like to weight wet but they are looking very nice. The other two one being the Hermi have close to 10 days left. Did a quick dry on a few lower buds and the high is satisfying.

I'll probably stop this log after everything is cured and weight stated and start a log dedicated to hydroponics. Right now I still need to get another 4x4 tray new reflector and a few more odds and ends. I really want to get some more air moving within the tents. Thinking about mounting, two, larger circulating fans in each tent. If anyone has suggestions let me know. Upgrade my all of my inline fans to 8â?� moving two 4â?�inline fans to intake, sealing the tents passive intakes still not sure if light was leaking into the tents that way.
