Johnny tries coco-KQR and Flo

[JohnnyHopkins]

Hi thanks for stopping by!

I've decided to document this next grow in which I will be using the following:

Strains:
1x Flo #5- My selection from a ten pack of DJ's Flo that I ordered at the beginning of the year. Definitely can see the blueberry that DJ crossed into it. Here is a link to my first shot at it https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=211470

1x KQR 1
1x KQR 2
1x KQR 3
Here is a link to the story behind KQR 1,2, and 3 https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=206955

Nutrients:
I plan to use Rezdog's "The Recipe" as a guideline for feeding https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=81674
One thing I will add is some epsom salt.

Equipment
DR120 tent
Co2 with Titan controller and CAP co2 monitor
600 watt MH for veg and hps for flower
Phantom ballast
6" Radiant hood
6" inline fan

The plan
Veg these babies out for at least 21 days maybe more. I will train them into something like http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=grow+through+grid&xhr=t&q=grow+through+plant+supports&cp=13&client=safari&rls=en&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1210&bih=684&bs=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=15434947810798910608&sa=X&ei=Uy0AToe5I4GksQOg-73GDQ&sqi=2&ved=0CGkQ8wIwAw#ps-sellers
I just transplanted these rapid rooters into botanicare's coco brick 1 gallon fabric pots on Thursday. I will water every 48 hours until good root system and then every 24 hours? I recently purchased a "small boy filter" and have been using that and adjusting ph to 5.5 when all said and done.

Thanks for stopping by.... much more to come!!!

Nice setup amigo. That Flo is a beautiful flower. What are you doing for odor control? And how are your temps? I have a 3x3 Dr100L & temps are a challenge w/ a 6-hunny. Cool tube is working (barely), but the reflector was too hot. I'm not running CO2 though.

grabbing a chair. how you liking the phantom ballast? is it a 600watt?

Thanks darth! I dont let my temps get above 85 but i have my ballast set to medium intensity right now. I also live in an area where it gets down to 50's every night. Yesterday i added a 4 inch fan that is hooked up to a timer to suck air out of the tent for 5 minutes every hour. This should help things in general. Here is a pic I took a few days ago of my canfilter. I will take some pics in a minute of everything else.

I love the phantom so far and yes it is a 600. I dont have it on full strength right now though..... waitin till they get a bit bigger but not much longer

 

[gaiusmarius]

hey again, nice new scrubber, that will keep the smell contained well.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Here are some pics i took a minute ago... the plants are a little droopy.... not sure if its bc it is the middle of the night for them or if i am overwatering.... either way there are already roots coming through the bottom of the fabric pots

I dig those tents. Gonna get me one for my next round. Nice set up!

They are cool if you cant build a legit room..... Im living in an apartment for 6 months while i find a house so it is good for me. I can always tell when the lights are on or off even with all the zippers zipped up so i dont think it is 100% lightproof. it has a couple of minute holes in the actual canvas too but i plan to run the lights on during day and off during the night (in flower) so that way there will be no light to leak in in the first place

hey johnny,

from what I see of my DJ plants in coco. flo can sure eat. maybe my phenos anyways.. but I always viewed flo as "sensitive" in "organics" but not coco...

would love to see your input on that, as most don't go into detail about there setups in the DJ section



have fun!

i see a small boy water filter in the background of one of those pictures how do you like that thing, and was it hard to set up?

peace-

Hiya habeeb! On my last grow, my feeding was pretty thrown together as it went kinda thing. PBP, karma, hygrozyme, cal mag. I would water every 4-5 days and do a feed-water-feed-water routine. It worked well..... #5 did have some sort of def at the end which u can see in my previous grow thread. Could have been a number of things but I never pinpointed it. I am hoping to crush it this time though with the flo #5! It impressed me the most in flower last time..... I know it has potential. So far it has liked the feeding schedule in coco.... Thanks for your interest

Great to have ya! The small boy filter is awesome so far.... I use it for my plants, my dog, and myself for drinking water. super easy to set up. You can hook it up to a sink (have to go by home depot to get adapter for sink faucet) or you can figure out something else like maybe hook it up to the water line going to your washer? This is my first grow with it though and it is great



Pictures later

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

High!

Here are some pictorials. The plants have grown faster than I imagined..... I think I will be sticking with coco and co2 combo Next time I will start in cups and then transplant..... starting in the 1 gal's from rapid rooter seems a bit undesirable. I cant decide on a) if I want to transplant to bigger pots b) how do I want to train these... The internode spacing is so short on these strains I dont know if the scrog idea would be best.... Plus, I should have installed the scrog screens originally instead of topping them but I was stoned and impulsive..... now i have 3 little little bushes and one Flo. The flo pheno i have is definitely out of the question for scrogging. It seems like it would prefer to be untopped single cola plant. It doesnt bush at all even after I topped it, its nodes just dont branch out..... They grow up and stay real close to the main stalk.... anyways enough half passed out rambling here r the pics

Well this sucks pretty bad but I had to go into panic mode today and tossed out my 4 plants and DSD seedlings. That is what i get for trying to grow in an apartment compex

I have friends that have copies of all the genetics though so in the big picture itll be aight.... still sucks though

 

[b00m]
