Prowlers Paradise: Vertical coconuts!

Actually you are correct. It is a bit overkill and i have a limiter currently on it. I was thinking of maybe creating an air tunnel with cardboard. I see some damage to leaves by too low humidity and too much airflow. That is next on my to do -list. Been a hell of a project to set up something this simple. The trouble where i live is that you have to hunt for different things across town. Currently i am hunting a low powered fan to coup with my veggers.

Thinking of buying a humidifier and a controller for in/out blower but those cost around 300€ together. Maybe i'll just manage with what i've got for now and upgrade with time.

:dance013:

MH lamp changed to HPS and temps are pretty good. Still some gap between high and low temps at day time (~25-28). This is due to temps changing according to weather outside. Maybe i'll get the controller soon to fix it.

I also have to construct that wind tunnel. It is now just a cartridge box (check the picture) and it helps a bit indeed but at the same time it causes some dead spots to general air movement. I need my fan to blow the air directly to the lamp and when that air hits the roof it creates some nice airflow throughout the room. You guys have any ideas on which material would be good to construct this round tunnel? :)

Some pictures for you. Taken when lamp on so the quality isn't the best. And still no fan for the veggers... It has to be the smallest of the smallest - otherwise it will be overkill. Also need a table to rise veg cab from the floor...and still to do list: Adjust netting to serve it's purpose better.

Live and learn - almost done and even unfinished beats my former systems easily. Noticed too that soil plants are no match for coconutters. Walls are gonna be full of buds soon.

Happy Saturday to everyone! :blowbubbles:

Time to get wasted!! Gonna post an update from the grow soon but first some Kali Mist from the stash. Talking bout stash - from the previous set-up:

Santa Maria:



TKUG13:



Kali Mist:



Swazi:



They all get me so mf... wasted! Swazi is absolutely heaviest from the crates. Lasts long and gets you quite confused. Not really party smoke :D

...then again Kali mist is. Nice smooth buzz and you absolutely can't feel tired after a hit.

Santa Maria is pretty funny too but don't expect to be able to get your ass from the sofa after a good one. At the same time it wakes your mind! Kind of drifter bud. Sunday shit. :)

TKUG13 is great for relaxing. Shuts your brain off and paralyzes your muscles. Still don't want to underestimate this one! Any heavier load will cause some endless zombie wondering around the house. Can't run - can't hide.

Coco is so goddamn funny material. If you neglect watering for one day - you're punished with a bit reddish stems and plenty of new and healthy roots. I found this one so thirsty that roots had risen from the coco:



Oh well...have to put some of the veggers to flower pretty soon. Meanwhile tied the netting a bit better. And ditched the wind tunnel idea since now my temps have dropped to ~26C. Nice. Plants are a bit big for the setup but this is just warming up.

All of the soil plants are in the front row and looking pretty alright for a first timer. Feeding them Bio Canna Flores, Canna Bio boost, Bio Nova Enzymes, Diamond Nectar, Beneficial bacteria and Piranha & Tarantula without any schedule or precise amounts. Less is better.

Coconutters get Canna Coco A+B ~ 15-20ml/10l, Bio Nova Enzymes, Diamond Nectar and in turns Beneficial Bacteria & liquid hydrogen. I've totally forgotten to give them some liquid Silicon because of the hassle. Doesn't matter though - gonna have loads of good smoke after this run!



Still have to trim one corner. It's too crowdy. Plants are a bit stressed because i took the netting down and set it up a bit better this time.

Hi Ya!

Nothing fancy - just a quick picture update. Gave coconutters some silica and otherwise feeding random amounts of everything. A bit too cold nights i guess.
