Growing with Drippers - An experiment in automation
Damn! Knowm,
I use drippers with my grow! You taught me sumthin'! I thought my soil mix was a bit of a hog! I knew perilite would be a good drainage supplement,but I had no idea that it would be such a difference as to the times you had to water! Meaning.that if you pick the pot up and fill the weight,you can then feel the need to water!Or not.....I've found that the perilite with my grow and soil mix,should be 25-25-50 That's not NPK! it's perilite,manure,aged or composted,and pro mix potting soil.Used this way,it will have a better chance to use the nutes as well as not needing to water as often.Or risk the chance of using too much nutes.Ya already got the manure in there.It'll be some time in veg before ya acctually fertilize.My indoor mix is gonna be 25-25-50 from now on! Thank's! Outdoors? 50-50 no perilite at all!Even the old can be taught things!This Ole' Dawg's,got a new trick!
Thank's!
Ga GrownGaGrown Reviewed by GaGrown on . Growing with Drippers - An experiment in automation Hi all, I plan to do a closet grow, 4 weeks veg, 4 weeks 1st flower, 4 weeks 2nd flower with a 3 stage system, 4 plants at each stage at all times (12 total, sometimes sixteen, to get a few extra weeks vegetative growth in). The veg stage will be 4 plants under a 250W MH, the flower stage will be 8 plants under a 600W HPS. They will both have perspex shields seperating the plants and the lights so that there is plenty of airflow and not an excess of heat in the cupboard. Anyway, I'm Rating: 5
