mfts, 4 x 4' x 16'

hey med, i finally have my tables running full throttle all thanks to your know how. thing i notice is higher humidity from constantly running water. is that what usually happens. im gonna add another dehuy and cover my reses and see if that helps. its not a problem with lights on just with lights off it jumps to about 75%. thank again man.

thats awesome, i know spg is a hog, but i still get the best results starting at 1250 after the weekly flush, then depending on the week letting it spike higher and higher.

but if its working dont change it. i have just never had to add any nutes after mixing a new res, just fresh water and hyox, mm

ps, you should find a dandy in those 10....

we dropped 10 of the conkushion seeds tonight ill let you know how they go,things in the rooms are going well,ppm up to 1600 in the morning and down to 1400 in 3 to 4 hours,in morning there around 1200 or so ive been topping every morning with m and b now and things are forming upbeautifully,loven life....

i believe that couple with the res and water flow, faster growing plants transpire more too. i wouldnt worry too much about 75% at night, or during the day for that matter. i also have a65 pint on full boire for every 50-100 gal res.

il be taking pics and a write up later tonite. in it i will be discussing putting mfts on timers for various reasons, specifically me burning the master kushes with igauna juice....

if its that much of an issue for you, or your strain, turn the flow off at night, mm

plants usaully always need a little time to cope with poliar apps of pesticides, organic or not. i alsways try to foliar as soon as lights go out with that being considered, mm

monteray is spinosad It seems to slow them down but they come right back.

looking forward to another video tonight.imalso growing bogs lifesaver with the spgandtherelovinitas well,but yeah maybe ill taper down a bit and let her run a bit lower after the initial res is made up.with the conkushion is there anything to look for more then the other,characteristics that stick out at all?

ya, with the conkushion look for the broadest leafs and sticky stalks, with an overwhealming dank aroma. other then that just run them all to the end. they are f-1 so should be pretty stable. on the finish you want the skunkiest, almost gold looking nugs, becuase of the resin.

ya, mft plants dont really need more thgen 1250 thru the whole cycle, but i like to spike ph and ppm to give a broader range of nutes, mm

day 35 bloom - bc bubba - day 45

day 35 bloom - bc bubba - day 45

wow, these ladies are banging now more then ever. even with the higher organic nutes (usually i run 25-50%) at about 66%. the master kushes not so much lol.

in typical mft form, they are dense, thick, neon green and just coated in trichomes already. ive put both tables on timers now becuase the master kushes had organic nutes a week earlier then these bubbas, and i stared iguana juice 2 weeks ago and the masters are really hurtin from it. insane ph and ppm spikes, algea the whole barrel of monkeys. i havent been adding iguana to this side as ive never used it before in mfts.

its not the end of the world to time the feed pumps with the light cycle. especially when adding organics. if this was a full on chem grow 24/7 is optimal. peace, mm

day 45 - medical master kush - day 35 bloom

day 45 - medical master kush - day 35 bloom

so, iguana juice was a bad idea, clogged drippers, some rotting roots, major algae outbreak and the worst is heavy ph spiking up and down. plus ppm too. they didnt grow much till i added a timer on sat. stunted the whole week. the funky smell that starts gives everything away. my goal is to run all organic except for kind bud, kind ripe and b52. i doubt it will ever happen, time will tell... i wasnt cut out for the kiss method lol

dont worry, ive done worse to plants in mfts, and had monster yields of the highest quality, this side just wont be optimal anymore like the bubba side. live and learn.

on another note, im starting the next wave of clones for my next round tonight. it will be an official med-man method vid and pics from start to finish, i wont experiment for it either. mm

looking good bro,shitty about the burn but hey thats how we learn.....

back to my system for a minute if we can,the leaves look great just a tiny amount of tip burn from high nutes ,but what i can get over is how much there eating,im going to flush tomorrow and then wednesdaay is her new res day,im gonna try and leave it at 1300 or so as it comes after mixing and see what she does for the week,co2 is at 1600 now and goes up to 1750 on wed as well.cheers bro....!

wow, looks thick in there now. crazy fast growth no doubt there as you say...

ya, thats what i mean, keep her low, shell rise all on her own. from 100-200 ppm a day.

and ya, thats what everyone always says, "i cant believe how much they eat" lol. so keep that in mind when adding nutes. thats why 1250 is perfect after a flush. in a day or 2 you will be adding a ton of water, mm

My 2 plants are drinking 5-7 gallons every 2 days and still just exploding. I can hardly tell I trimmed em a few days ago. I pushed the nutrients up to 2.0 ec and then up to 2.5ec NO signs of burn. This moring I hit 2.7EC and tonight the leaves had started to taco a tiny bit and tips sorta dropped but damn that is some concentrated solution. I diluted back to 2.0 tonight. This system is really fun to play with I hope you get that organic system dialed MM I'd love to try it. I sprayed tonight with ipa/h2o2 in water and it killed alot of the thrips but still can find some crawling around. I will hit em with monteray again in 2 days and then another round of ipa h2o2 2 days after that . I am not cloning any plants this run so no worries about total eradication just need to keep em at bay and the girls happy till harvest. I'll post a few pics tomorrow...cheers,

med, you shut off the flow at night to recover from that damage that stuff caused. any other precautions so i dont fuck this up. how did that happen if you are using h2o2, doesnt that prevent that shit.

I'm just adding buckets of water to the rez till it's full every night or 2 cause I'm running in a closet full of used gear and don't have the float valve hooked up. I am always adding back Ionic to where I want em when I water. Mine are eating like a fat chicks at a bbq buffet...every time I walk in the room it's like they're saying ...just 1 mo plate a ribs honey oh and some a dat fried chicken and don't foget ma nanna pudding baby ummm...ummm

im sure you told me the dehu is ran straight back to the res. if nutes are being used by the plants and most of the water drains back to the res that they transpire. which means the ppm will go down fast.

im also pretty sure i reminded you to use a utility pail to catch the dehu water and manually top off as needed to maintain optimal ph. if im wrong about that sorry, im like a goldfish with my memory, but im pretty sure about this one, peace, mm

i am like the anti kiss method lol. i dont like 100% chem grows, and always try to find a way to max out the organic nutes. so the fault is mine and not the system.

some of the best yileds ive ever had were gh gmb and thrive alive when first developing the tables. but i grow for me and dont like the taste of that. all be it the nugs are bigger and brighter then anything ive ever seen, im a cannassoir, and that doesnt cut it. i was an organic dirt farmer for years before my graduation to hydroponics, good luck and enjoy them, mm
