sounds like you have everything under control. good job, keep up the good work

It will be interesting to see what you dial your pump cycle times in at in the rockwool room with the 3 gallon pots. I'm paying attention for sure!

 

[Guest 150314]

any suggestions? i remember you saying you friend was growing in flock in 10 gals but he was handwatering? i think il start at 1 minute per hour during lights on like i do with 1 gallons and adjust as they start to drink more.

that room is planted now, im trying to decide if i should put a huge trellis in or just let them grow, if i let them grow/bend out of the lights.. i know the plants in the center trough will get huge if i do that

Can't wait to see the Rockstar Flower N Out

I don't know man, I think that with there being more flock in those buckets they will hold more water and less o2 so you might want to ease them into the multiple hourly feeds. Should see some explosive growth for sure!

 

[Guest 150314]

yeah im not really sure what to do in these bigger pots. i figure the safes thing is to handwater until the roots have colonized the pots and visibly coming out the bottoms, i think it should be safe to do my regular timed feeds at that point.

a guy i know did the same thing but used rockwool flock and hydroton mix and 5 gal buckets and im pretty sure he was feeding 1 min/per hour and did fine

 

[Guest 150314]

got both rooms planted still waiting for ac ducting to go up

feeding 1 min per hour and they are loving it

 

[Veg N Out]

Can't wait to see it rocking.

 

[Guest 150314]

AC's are working great but overkill, keeping the rooms at 78 degrees they are only kicking on a few times hourly so humidity is very high, great for veg but once these rooms are further into flower i will need some serious dehumidifiers, any suggestions?

Also due to humidity I found some PM starting on one or two kush plants and have treated with actinovate and sereande.

I like your A/C Intermatic timer next to the sub-panel. Good idea. Do you find you don't need it when the lights are off?

 

[Guest 150314]

Thanks. That timer controls a relay to flip flop the AC's, did this becuase they draw 40+ amps for a second or two when they turn, if both turn on at once breaker will flip.

I Dont really need the AC at lights off, even with lights on the AC's are oversized for the rooms and only run periodically. I do need some large dehumidifiers for lights off though.

i have a 12inch fan and dampered duct system for each room that was going to be hooked up to a humidistat to keep humidity in check when the lights and AC are off but il probably end up buying commercial dehumidifiers.

The sheet metal guys just put in the ducting for AC and i got some blue ox co2 burners and matador controllers that will be going up soon.

Nice electrical work! Did you do it yourself?

 

[Guest 150314]

that would be my electricians work. its a federally licenced medical grow and the bylaw enforcement can shut you down for code violations so it must be wired and built properly.

i misplaced the battery charger for my camera but took a crappy cellphone pic of the progress on one side. the plants are just cramped together cause i needed to make a path to back of room before i took pic

 

[Guest 150314]

both rooms are a week or so into flower, dropped the humidity and started running co2, co2 and food are both 1000ppm, GH 3 part , some diamond nectar and kelp.. pretty simple. not sure what else to say, things are looking pretty decent for first run. any ?'s

 

[bench warmer]

Dayum gm!! That's a lot of happy looking girls.
What strains are in that last pic?
How do you like growing in dirt again vs rockwool?
Are there significant differences this time?
Got any more recent pics of the flowers in the "old" space?
Keep up the amazing work bro.

 

[Guest 150314]

Thanks buddy, they are doing alright.

Strains in last pic are jack herer and headband.

I hate the dirt right now because I flowered a bunch of 4-5 footers in 3 gallon pots and I am handwatering everyday. Rockwool side seems to have way tighter internodes and they are branchier plants.

heres a raspberry mikado plant that is almost as tall as me

7 bows?!!! :jawdrop: Gotta love Beginner's Luck. LOL! (edit: Your friend being the "beginner", of course )

 

[Ganja Queen]

This grow looks like it's going to be amazing...love the huge size of the op . Sending good vibes and hopes of fat yields your way!

 

[BCMaster]

Looking good there Mango. What did you end up dialing your pump times to on the flock side?

 

[Guest 150314]

thanks, fed for 1 minute every hour, watered by hand until fully established in the pots
