First@IC Vertical 1800w Bio Bucket Grow (Vanilla Kush + Super Bud)

[Sqydro]

that looks kinda like a mg def. what nutes are you using mate? whats your ph sayin. great build as well mate im running a similar set up but rdwc with 87 L tubs and 3 x 600w hung vert like so 0=bulb x=plant

oxo
xox

i have 2m in hieght though.

I'm using house and garden nutes.
PH is stable, I let it hit 5.5 today and im going to let it drift to 6.
Then pull it back down to 5.5 again.

yeah thats what i was doing with my v3 and then got a few leafs like urs, was a mg def. i was using canna aqua though. i gave the res some epsom salts n kept the ph at 5.8 and it went away within a week. thats the sweet spot for mg apparently 5.8. all the best mate looking forward to the grow!

 

[KryptKeepa]

Did a bit of foliar feeding to help em along!
I guess its patience from here on out.

Lookin good KryptKeepa! real good!

Just had to point out that those beasts could very will tip those buckets right over if they're duct taped on good now! I know you got some nets, might wanna make real sure those babies(buckets) are secured in there cause, well, you know...

Keen to see how it fill in for ya

 

[KryptKeepa]

There good and secured, also the roots are growing quickly through the lava rock and the 10 inch net pots!
So id put money that there safe!
Good looking out Gourd Jr!

PS: guys the situation looks to not be getting worse.

Temp: 24
Humidity: 42
PH:6.2
EC: 1.8

Since the EC is rising that means there drinking! So I'm going to wait for it to hit about 2.0 EC then I'll add back water.

 

[KryptKeepa]

Oooo checked root systems when I got home, the super buds roots are exploding out of the 10 inch pots!

There all on what seems to be a solid recovery!

Super bud Gained 3 inches in height, and 1 vanilla haze got 1.5 the other dident grow.
The slowest and what seemed to be the most affected plant!

Cant knock GHS though, this Super bud is very resilient, fast growing with super tight inter-nodes!
This is one plant im going to keep for my future genetic crosses if all goes well!

Pic's to come tomorrow im too tired tonight!

 

[gOurd^jr.]

Right on, good you seem to have your leaf issue on the mend.

I was talking about the whole 5 gal bucket tipping but sounds like you got things well in hand.

I'll be watching this one.

cheers

 

[KryptKeepa]

Never thought of that... I don't spend any time in the tent.
When buds form.. I get out the twine so no lean on the buckets!

But i'll keep an eye on that! there also completely full, so the center of gravity is quite high.

 

[cravin morehead]

hey krypt looks real good in here!! glad to see you got your deficiency on the run. i like your design idea, seems to be working really well!! way to go. keep it up bro!

see ya around,
cm

 

[gOurd^jr.]

ya I was thinking as those plants grow the weight distribution will get higher and higher. It was just a thought that jumped into my head after you said they tipped the net pots and seemed worth sharing, guess it was.
stringing up the buds SHOULD take care of things pretty well, but Better safe'n sorry cause one of those tipping over would be a catastrophic mess of course. Maybe just duct tape or tie the buckets down somehow on either side of the stem? I dunno just another pair of cents...

 

[KryptKeepa]

ooo i meant.. when i initally transplanted... the plant itself was too large.. and so was the root system.. so it dident sit well in the 10 inch pots... So I duct taped it in place.. now the root system is growing through the medium and the pots.. so its stuck nice and good!

 

[KryptKeepa]

Ok so picture update!
Been just over a week I believe!

I thought my plants weren't growing... I was mistaken... I looked at some pictures from day
one and from now. There clearly getting larger alot larger.

PH: 5.6
1.5 EC

Temp: 24 Celsius
Humidity: 48%

Here are the dimensions:
VK1: 33x33
VK2: 35x 45
SB: 38x30

Im amazed by the super small internode spacing on the Super Bud.. There literally 8-9
internodes in 15 inches on each of the kola's.

You can clearly see where the new growth is coming in and the old stuff is going out!

 

[KryptKeepa]

Id take some shots of the white roots, but I cant lift the buckets and snap lol

 

[gOurd^jr.]

Ah I get it. Anyway, new growth is lookin good KyrptKeepa! you gonna flip them soon?

 

[cravin morehead]

its like forest in there!! looking good... flipping to 12/12 soon??

 

[KryptKeepa]

Flipped a week ago

 

[KryptKeepa]

Got a shot of the roots! Bad Ass Ehh!!

 

[kal el]

Looks good.
You don't have to adjust the ph any longer.
