They've addressed the off gassing of PVC along time ago , no need to worry about newer stock . 8 pots on 1 270gph pump is good . you'll have to feed for a longer time than if you used a stronger pump .... butthats a good thing , cuz then you slowly feeding the plants instead of a quick saturation .... it has a better chance of evenly soaking in the slower it goes in .

looks great so far dude . 2 gallon pots are perfect , you really don't need more that that much coco in a pot . 4 to 6 oz per pot is pretty common in coco .

Yeah man thanks for dropping thru. My comp will get fixed this week and hope to have not killed my plants by then. Haha Na they look good. I'm really liking how fast these are out of the gate in the coco.

@dansbuds

Thank you for the advice man and welcome to my uneventful journal for now. It will get better soon once I am all fixed up with my comp issues. I really like the flow on the manifold and was going two drippers per pot. Maybe putting a t on the end of each dripper to even out the watering a bit. I haven't even got the plants in the flower room yet. So I will wait til the time comes. Really appreciate your input as I have seen many of your posts and they all come across with good tips,pointers and vibes all pluses in my book.

COuple questions ? How much veg time roughly are you giving them and how many plants are you running per 1kw?

@lyryc

Brrrrraaaaaaaaaatttttttttt,braaaaat,braaaaat,braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. Haha

Man your update was impressive Great little variety and looking nice and full. Recipe for successes I LIKE!

Man I wish I could show you guys the progress. They are doing great.

I'm going to try to do 8 in 2 gallon smarties dansbuds if it gets to tight I will remove a couple.

I'm on the iPad so no long thorough posts from me.

Should have something to show soon. Plants were flipped on Sunday feeding once a day at lights on for 1.5 minutes ec 1.3 ph 5.9.

Drip is working really nice so far.

Will have a comp to upload some photos finally. And the ability type a post up on the keyboard as opposed to the iPads keyboard which is a pain in the ass.

your dripper manifold is much better than mine - with that nice distribution at each T - probably pressurized to control flow?

Really nice -and fuck your smart pots are black still? how do you do that? lol mines always look white from salt build up :shucks:

And what are we looking at in flower? shit looks nice - happy and healthy!

:smoke out:

What we are looking at currently is a cut of agent orange I have had for awhile. Its not a keeper to me but the smoke is pleasant the smell is really nice as well. I am phasing it out and trying to get my hands on a couple different strains.

It is a different plant to me now that I am growing it in coco so maybe I will change my mind about it.

Yeah the manifold works good as could be. I am going to build a new one for the next tray of plants I do. Its going to be 6 the next time. 8 was a little optimistic. I actually only have 7 in the tray so there is a set of drippers just wasting away. I need to put some shutoffs on them.

The smartpots are brand new but they are starting to get a touch of salt buildup.


Thanks for dropping in Lyryc!
