Oysters.
LOL on the hammer vs wrench. Needed the hammer for work. I fucking hate work. The light is still the 1000w MH. The nutes are still 1200ppm on a .5 scale. I am doing 1/2 gal per hour on a 7 gal pot. I may change to 1/2 gal every 90 min as the prococo is a little wet in some areas.

An update. Not a lot exciting goin on. I really need to get a screen put up. Here are the current pics.

FCDobbs · Jan 22, 2021

Been a while. Been working long hours. Did not get the netting done until today. I hope it doesnt create too much of a problem.
We are at 1 month -2 days since putting in cocoa. havent checked the ph since planting. seems to be doing ok, the real test will be mid way into flower. Here are a couple of pics.

Nothing exciting today. ordered white plastic film. She seems healthy. We are a month and 2 days since planting in cocoa. Judging from the trunk size she could be a monster if I had any clue as to what I am doing.

Well I really have no idea what I am doing with the scrog. not sure when to cut lower branches off. Ill figure it out. Here are a couple of new pics.

Here is the basic drawing from PK thread. While D9 had circles and a few colors this is it in a nut shell.

Hope it helps.. :tiphat:

I'm a defoliator.. if its under the screen it isnt getting light.

EDIT: when i uploaded it it was rite side up.. sorry

FCDobbs · Feb 5, 2021

Thanks Snook. I have read as much as I can given the pages of info.
I wish I would have done this back when Delta9 started this system.

At the time I was getting into DWC which is great but needs tons of attention. As you can see from my pics the plant is coming along. I desperately need to devote enough time to learn how to scrog.

FCDobbs · Feb 5, 2021

some pics.

FCDobbs · Feb 11, 2021

I will be switching to flower in a week most likely. Have checked the ph since putting her in the cocoa. Emptied my first 20 gal rez yesterday. Here are some pics from this morning. Not really sure what I'm doing with the scrog.

Been a while. I switched to flower a couple of days ago at about 7 weeks. Changing metal halide out to hortilux super hps. I am now filling rez with 1100ppm nutes. Here are some pics.

Dobbs! What happnin?

FCDobbs · Mar 7, 2021

Hey Snook,

I have been so busy working long hrs ect. I dont really get to spend much time with her right now. PPK is maintenance free. I have never checked the ph. I dont get out to the shed except the weekends.
I pruned up the under mesh this morning. I will have to do a second mesh layer next week probably. Here are a few pics from this morning. She went into flower on the 20th I think.

Dobbs, if that picture is after the under brush trimming, go back and trim some more.
Any thing growing under your screen isnt getting much light and is stealing growth energy from the buds above the screen. Should be naked under the screen.
Your baby looks like its very happy.. BTW, at one point I tried monkeying with the PH.. had to drain the entire system and re-nute without attention to PH.

still working long hours. 12 hours a day away from the house. Havent seen the plant in a week. Here are some new pics. Things seem to be going well. I dont really know what I am doing with the pruning. I will put a second screen on when the stretch stops. I am about 20" from the tallest stem to the light. 1000w hps. This is the hortilux super hps. We are around 3 weeks into flower on about a 120 day flower.

Keep it going, she looks good.

EDIT: I'd start gettin that 2nd screen in place Dobbs.

I haven't tried the coco yet.

I always had better results adding some magsulfate in addition to the Jack's.

depending on your environment you may need to increase the feed.

The pics in the start looked overwatered and needed more mag imo.

looks like she finally took ahold and is going well for you.

Good luck!

Snook
thx for the input. HL45 thx for stopping by.
I dont cut everything off below the second net do I? I think I might have a little nute burn. Here is a pic of the leaf. I dropped the ppm from 1100 to 1050 in the 15 gal I added to the rez.

do you run the pump when the lights are off too
