Ekomsi's learning curve with 6kw and more

[ekomsi]

Some more pics from last friday.

The first two are of a single plant with a scrog and 600W over her. She is about 18 days into flower.

The rest are from week 6 of flower.

Alright I got a little update, My next run is going to be a little different then the last few. Im going to be running 48 buckets instead of 36, and instead of using General hydro Im going with Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice Micro and Bloom, still running lucas formula 8ml micro and 16ml bloom. Its 40% cheaper then Gen Hydro.

BUT I noticed right off the bat it runs at a higher EC.
So I might not run it at full strength.

My flowering plants are finishing up, Im flushing them with 1/4 strength lucas formula (Gen Hydro)

I have noticed some nanners and a few seeds as a result. Im bummed but it wont effect much (Quality or price). Some plants got to big and the roots are clogging the tubes, this is b/c I let some plants that were smaller veg for longer before I switch, Im running half as many strains next time. I really want a Even Level Canopy

BRB with some pics,

My seeds came today!

11 regular Black Rose
10 Regular Justice
10 Feminized Apple Pie

3 free regular Black Rhino (white rhino x black rose)
3 free regular Purple Wreck (train wreck x black rose)

What should I pop first?

Black rose duh, just debating if I should pop all 11 or save a couple. Prolly pop them all and grow them up for a few months until I can see sexes then take clones off all females and run a full room of all black rose.

Nice looking plants brotha!

Do half to ¾ so you'll aleast have one left..for just in case.. that's my 2 cents


Maybe pop all of them and f2?

Looking good man, colas are fat!

I dig that 600 scrog you got going on, ever think of scrogging the whole room? I've been playing with that idea for my next run..

You have a good point Cody but I only want the best so I need to see what I have in these beans. They are regular so Im only going to get a handful of females.

I think I will pop all the black rose and hope for a high female ratio.

Thanks the scrog is nice. I like doing a scrog with a dwc plant instead of dirt but this was a left over mother plant that was too big to keep around.

A whole room would be too time consuming I dont think it would be efficient. Maybe if I get a warehouse some day with lots of lights I can grow some huge trees like that.

 

[ekomsi]

I decided to pop 11 Black Rose seeds and 3 Black Rhino Seeds! Cant wait for a room full of purps.

Alright its time that I buy an A/C unit. Im thinking about going with a ideal air mini split 36,000 BTU unit. I also have a heating and cooling guy looking into prices on a simillar unit.

Does anyone thing 36,000 btu is not big enough?

Does anyone think 36,000 btu is not big enough?

Running 10 600W bulbs, ballast are outside the grow room. I have a around 5 oscillating fans in the room, a 12in vortex extracting fan and 2 4in intake fans soon to be 6in intake fans.

Flood cycles!

Flood cycles!

I was wondering how many flood cycles you run in the day cycle and the nite? And what is ur Rez size per how many buckets?

I was wondering how many flood cycles you run in the day cycle and the nite? And what is ur Rez size per how many buckets?

Durring flower I like to flood every 4 hrs when lights are on, and once in the middle of the 12 hr dark period. Also when the plants get really big I extend the flood period to 30 min instead of 15 because the roots restrict the flow to the buckets.

Veg is a little different and depends on their size.

The rez is a 55gal barrell and right now I have 36 buckets hooked to it but soon to be 48 off one rez.

 

[OSBC]

I read u run 8-16 Lucas what do u ph ur Rez at?

 

[OSBC]

Do u aerate ur Rez?
