med-mans medical film technique

Hey medman this looks great!

So just to verify, the roots are just suspended and only slightly submerged by the runoff of the other drippers? Or its not really a dripper but a steady stream whose intensity is controlled by the flow value?

How often do you water... Seems like plants on the higher elevated side of the table would receive less water or am I not understanding?

<- noob

ya, you got it, the flow to each table is contolled by the flow valve, and the bigger they get the more the flow. the pump runs 24/7. im not a benny guy. h202 is 1/16 to 1/24 the price of bennies and does way more around the grow room, root zone, foliar then high priced additives. these roots are 7 days apart, and almost quadrupled in mass by adding hyox every 2-3 days at 1.6 ml/L, they all recieve relatively the same flow, the pump is spaced evenly enough and is powerful enough, d

d is my right hand man, so he may answer alot of questions or i for him depending on our availability.

ive shown him for 8 years how to grow these mfts, and half this thread his his production site so, this show may be his more often then not as the kcc now is in charge of around 2000 kw alone in the lower mainland, with tons of patients.

he may seem like a thread jacker, but he picks up my slack everywhere else so why not here too, mm

in the pics d posted, you can see that the bud blood stain from week 1 flowering is completly overgrown,

heres a couple more to show how explosive the root growth in the mft's plus hyox and my cannabolic stacker is, mm

ps 1 week flower and 2 week flower root mass like quadruples, no sign of the bud blood stains

my new lab

my new lab

i got 17 600 digi bc ballasts burning. brand new off the boat from china. and in med-man fashion its 50% blue sunmasters and 50% super hps. well 9 hps and 8 mh, was gona have another blue but the layout didnt work. some pics of my mountain kush, west coast sour diesel (amazing 90% praying hand style growth on her) some rbk (rudy's bubba kush) pain killer and purple pain killer with a new called the big cheese.

i had to put reflectors (1/4s) on the walls to prevent any melt down.

heres my 125w sub and my messy tester wiring with 2 heat kills for both timers, mm

more my basement

more my basement

room without lights on, 5 ton air to air ac behind the poly, the ro machine and some more organic mini moms in mini cubes, mm

ps in pic 2 you can see i spray painted the light cover green, so when growing it goes on and when working it comes off

mm tip - hashplants are calmag hogs especialkly in veg. they originate in mostly mountainous, hilly, areas with ancient limestone bedrock and sea beds. packed with electrolytes like cal, mag, zinc from fossils and coral. make sure they get their fill. ive noticed alot of folks complaining how slow hashplants veg and they usually have cal/mag issues

the med man

the med man

off the boat from china ballasts suk... have fun with them.

90% of all our beloved materials are now made in and come from mexicao/india/china lol, nutes may be the last standing home made supplies we get.

phillips, sylvania and other powerhouses all use china and mexico these days, like every other corporation on the planet, d

Pulling up a chair an paying attention. Props to you and the KCC. Seems like you guys are on a roll and have your heads on straight.

the med man

this is my first time running bc ballasts. the kcc cant be choosers as we get what we are given sometimes and are thankful for that. i notice we can never progress when we cling to senility. a grower only becomes a master once he sheds his growers ego (identity) and stops telling himself hes the best and stops telling others with different ways they are wrong. growers are always their own enemies, especially when partnerships are struck that trainwreck. i do this system becuase its the most efficient way ive ever grown, not becuase im the best grower and i make the system work becuase of me. ive had them fired now a couple times with no issues.

vag was over last night and the room is so bright he started getting a migraine. i on the other hand always have a migraine so i just wore my blue blockers as per usual.

please keep in mind that both these spaces are new and never grown in. i seldom meet any growers that can get 10Lb plus from 4 kw or 20-30 lb from 11kw. there always is alot of talk, but that the ego, my focus is quality and production in a perfect balance. and i have yet to beat my numbers with another way of growing vs set up cost vs labour vs maintainance. my crippled self can clean and replant both these sites by myself in less then 4 hours, and thats with 2 hours of driving, long before the patients have their meds manicured. in fact the new batch will be growing before they get comfortable in their trimming chairs, mm

wasnt calling u out, was just stating that digi ballasts tend to burn out bulbs and turn off and on like x-mas lights. know of a few wholesalers that have been stuck with skids of junky chinese ballast and will end up scrapping them...
