My Med-Man tables - 3 rooms 4k each

[med-man]

bouncing around and landed in here...

Ive been wanting to build some type of table system myself, and medman were on my mind
your room looks nice-n-clean bayarea, I like that

hey gnome

just wait until the roots hit the bottom of the root chamber


plants grow so fast becuase "mft" (nft hybrid) or med-man tables are the most productive hydro cultures.

i have seen my tables rival aero. becuase the poly on the lids doubel the light. even with no co2 you get massivem trich coated yields

and if you fuck upo anything you still get 1bl per 600w at least, and the quaslity will still beat anything out there

quads, trust me, i eat trophies for breakfast

DUDE! sick ass rooms! Respect on the work - that shit aint easy - respect man.

Nice genetics Med-Man - will be a pleasure to watch them pampered by bayarea.



Mind if I pull up a chair? I got more weed than I can smoke

I also want to become automated with a res and such - and you are using rockwool - something I want to revert back too - so clean and simple.

Whens the best time of year to buy an A/C to upgrade the garden?

hey lyryc

i agree. at least the tables are cheap and easy,

i am pumped too. they are so simple if you just moniter ppm, ph, res levels, pumps

never have any issues until teas and other additives come into play

I just moved into my new 6000-8000w sealed room.
I'm still in soil but want some tables to raise the plants up a bit so they can all drain onto 1 place instead of saucers.

I plan going either hydro or coco and this is what the tables will be used for down the road another harvest or two.
your caught my eye @ your web site,
and i still plan on working some of your gear into my gro's by summer....

hey gnome

whats great about my tables is people rock them hydro in the winter when weather and activity is an a nil

in the summer they put coco pots or sea o f green beds in them when they like to go away and have a lower monitered grow.

in fact, i think an ic member ran 15 coco pots, and the whole med-man method per 4x8 and killed it with the screen as it gets up to 50 C wherehe lives in the summer

plus, its nothing like working plants at thigh level, and having your whole floor space as storage

I think I had to much water flow out of the lines. I turned them down to a more of a slow constant drip. I'll check later today an see if they liked that better. Co2 is up an running. Last root check only one Og kush x td roots was exploding.

I've been working on room B. just ordered 4 more hoods an 24k btu mini split. I'll be painting today an tomorrow.

 

[bayarea925]

Plants looked better today. Added SM90 to the res. hoping it will combat any gnats hanging out in the rockwool. I feel it will be another 7 days before all have roots hitting the table.

 

[med-man]

hey bayarea

when it comes to flow, you want it on "the lowest setting" when you first plants. as the roots get bigger the more flow they can handle relative to plant size, co2 levels, ppm, growth etc etc

too much flow early will actaully prevent the roots from popping at optimal performance

med-man

 

[bayarea925]

Well I'm glad I turned them down. It's at a slow steady drip. They should jump in the next few days.

 

[med-man]

hey bay area

sorry for the vagueness

i mean the slowest, lowest stream possible

a drip wont coax the roots out properly, just the way too much does, its lose lose, fwiw

med-man

 

[bayarea925]

Ok well I'm goin to do a 24 hr flush tomorrow an ill turn the drip up a little more.

Lights are on full now for the first time. Mini split is running smooth. Room is at 73 deg. 47% rh

Still need to do some duct work. And the screen.

 

[bayarea925]

I found out my Co2 was leaking. I think it was to much an they looked in bad shape last night. I got the correct fitting so ill be correcting that today.

I'm debating getting a RO filter. As my ppm out of the tap is 390.

 

[bayarea925]

Seams to be a learning curve on the tables. Although I'm not counting any days as of the ac issues an the co2 issues. I did replace 16 plants with others I had still vegging. Glad I had extras. The Tahoe Og x Td seam to be taking any an all abuse with ease. The Cheese didn't like the over Co2.

I put 25 Tahoe x td to clone a week ago an 10 rooted in 7 days. She seams to be a easy growing plant.

 

[med-man]

hey bay area

i recommend for the first week

- co2 - none
- EC- 1.0
-ph - 5.6
- rh - 75%
- temps - 70-75 constant day and night

may i ask why you are replacing plants?

i will be very frank if you donbt mind.....sounds like you doing too much right now.

in the first week let them start growing
once roots hit the chamber floor, then add co2 at the same ppm as the res
in the tabkes plants love high rh% until flower time as well

good luck

ps every room is different, and you are doind a salad grow. so yuo arent making your life easy by any means, repsectfully homie

[bayarea925]

Yea I think it's my hard water. I ordered a RO filter.

 

[bayarea925]

So my tap ppm is 390. Im using 75 gal of water I added nutes to 600 ppm then cal mag to 700. Then H2O2 then sm90 then ph to 6. guess ill drop my ph to 5.6. Does this sound right? Or should I be just following the bottle directions. An forgetting the ppm.

 

[med-man]

hi bay area

i notica all hydroculters respond best between 5.5 and 6.2, with a constant 5.6 being the most optimal in my tables

you will def need r/o water, even if in pots or soil etc. that very hard water. i have a well at home and its comes out at 0.4 ec or about 250ppm. not the worst, but still high. i have had success running hydro with my well water, but there is a ton of natural salt that will build up fast, and tastes/burns pretty shitty even after 10-14 days of flushing. i have never seen cleaner herb then stuff outa my tables under optimal conditions. not grey, but white, just like the papers wrapping the joint

[bayarea925]

Installed 100gpd RO. Flushed room A for 24hrs.

Water before 390 ppm 7.5 ph

Water after 0 ppm 5.6 ph


Added 50 gal water to res. 0 ppm 5.6ph
added 450 ml of cns17 bloom to 630ppm 5.6ph
added 120 ml of cal mag 830 ppm 5.6ph
added 100 ml sm90 830 ppm 5.6ph
Added 150 ml h2o2 830 ppm 5.6

hi bay area

wicked man

one the roots hit the table, the can really explode. dont be shy to let the ppm creep to 1.5 ec before topping off. plants can usually handle very high ppm in my table. its the coaxing the roots out in the first period of growth where they are most vulnerable to overwatering, overnuting, temp fluctations, co2 etc.

if they even seem really pale, and ec doesnt go up at all, dont hesitate to add some more cns.

remember, every room and strain is different. that is experince you need to compile and dial for furthering your knowledge wuth the tables

patience: the biggest virtue when first planting the lil guys. they may look wilted, lighter green, curled leaves etc. this is totally normal. do not help them in anyway shape or form, or you will be starting over. they need to fight on their own to get big and fierce
