2x600w 3x1,2m coco slabs with drippers rtw
- Thread starter tbk
- Start date
ThanksYes i have made the drippers myself. Worlds easiest task ever! In general my grow is a copy of gaius' https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=46279 if you want to see how its made. It's just 20mm PE hose as mainline with holes punched and then smaller approx 5mm lines going to the drippers. After a couple of years all the lines need replacement because of salt build ups that blocks the drippers. Concentrated ph down(HNO3)62% can dissolve the precipitates, not the reg stuff at 38%, but i think its easier to replace the lines. The drippers can be reused for as long as you want, as long they are cleaned. In general i'm quite happy with these drippers because they are not prone to clogging.
I use a 200L (approx 50 gallons) res placed outside the tents that last for 9-10 days watering 3 times a day at 40-45 sec with a 2000L/hour pump.
would you mind if I pm'd you about some details with the dripper system?
Lyryc you shall be more than welcome to pm me, but i don't know if i can receive pm's when i'm under 50 posts?
Green81 here is the pics as promised.
All of the same bud. On the last i have broken the bud open, they look a bit more frosty on the inside. I use a tumble trimmer so a lot of the heads on the outside get knocked of during trimming.

Hello.
Harvested the left side down the basement, decent yield!
And started a new run. 14 days to root, 7 or 8 days i grodan cubes, can't remember exact, transplanted to the basement yesterday evening and looks like this today.
Last the first floor, which was flipped to 12/12 yesterday. Think they have vegged for 4 weeks, maybe a little more, to reach this size

looking really good
sweet grow tbk got anymore updates?
No updates from the basement because the last couple of runs has just been a copy of the others already posted in here.
But the 1 floor and the light rail yielded some nice new stuff. The rails not gonna be capable of replacing the 2 bulbs in the basement as planned, so you was right green81. The yield is simply to low - don't know exactly how much but just by eye it's easy to see that there isn't enough(i hope i can improve a little in yield - it my first run in pots where i hand water). But i'm gonna keep the rail to test seeds. Here is some of the best stuff. It's Grandaddy purps(two phenos) and Chem vally kush.
Chem valley kush
Grandaddy purps pheno 1
Grandaddy purps pheno 2
And clones that has been topped once waiting to hit the basement, skunk no 1 again again...

Not complete success with the Orius, had to spray twice with Spinosad after (Spinosad: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=61807). The Orius disappeared quite fast from the mother room together with a lot of the thrips, but not all, some where left. Never had problem with Spinosad, seems to work every time and its available in europe now. Almost through a bottle i got from USA, despite friends getting it confiscated by customs because it was not approved in europe at that time(years ago...). Tried to make this bottle last as long a possible, and maybe find an alternative(the Orius) but now i will just stick to Spinosad when i can order it on ebay.de / ebay.co.uk.
A quick note on the Pakistan citral kush and the Grandaddy purple: Got purple colors from both, but 4 of 5 GD was purple while 1 of 4 of the pck was purple. Got the colors at 20-25 celcius. Pck buds was airy compared to the GD and did not smell of much. The one pck that was purple was the most purple of them all.
The one GD that wasen't purple had an incredible smell and taste.
So the best was Grandaddy purple from Connoisseur genetics, while the pakistan citral kush from Cannabiogen was ok but not as good as the GD.

Hello. The rail is yelding almost as good as the basement setup based on gpw. Gonna be used to look for new moms. With auto watering i think i can get more, but i dont want big water tanks and possible run off fuck ups on the 1. Floor have had two incidents in the basement, but no harm happend due to a concrete floor. The bud the rail produced is as least as good as the basement, lower temps and RH on the 1. Also contributed to this i think. The rail is optimal to test seed and find keeper moms because it covers such a large footprint, specially with the adjust a wing. With this run i tested the last pck. The earlier ones wasent that good, but this last one made it up for the other ones. Pretty purple, dense buds, kind of like skunk no 1 buds, little more open structure but still dense. Its a little slower/harder to clone, also the reason that it wasent with all the others. First time it simply didnt root.

good luck tbk.
with auto watering if your worried about flooding situations then maybe ge a catchment tank slightly larger than your reservoiur and that should pretty much eliminate any flooding issue providing when you refill your rez you dont forget to empty your catchment tank.
