10 x C99 - Flood/Drain pots
- Thread starter AnonMe
- Start date
In the last shot you can see two sickly looking plants in the corner...
Because I run a 12 pot system but there are only 10 seeds in a packet I had two pots left over. Those two plants are newly rooted clones from a strain I run here which is a white Russian cross. I just chucked them in today to fill the hole. No point in wasting the light/space. Might get a couple of ounces from them at the end of the day.

yeah I've noticed that, E.C. is 1.4ish
I think because its flood/drain and the flood level is just below the top of the clay, its kind of wicking up to the top of the clay pebals then evaporating leaving the salt behind. I considered washing it back through but that might do more harm than good?
I am open to suggestions though.
E.C. is a little high and could be adjusted slightly but I don't think its too far into the extremes.
My plan was to just monitor and act if the girls start to show any signs of stress.

id just moniter as ya said n if ya finding nute burn flush out with just phed water n start again...might be something that needs to be done with that system, not sure 100% myself but im sure someone eles be able help abit more 
A little update.
The salts buildup on the surface does not seem to be getting any worse, and its not affecting the girls either.
I have a bit of a conundrum. I wanted to clone these 10 C99's but I've just turned my small tent over to flower today, meaning its going to be at least 8 weeks till the real estate is free. The C99's look like their about ready to turn over as well, meaning clones would need to be taken.
I think what I might have to is give the C99's another two weeks before changing light cycle. Then give them a week under 12/12 before I take clones. That should put my tent about 5 weeks away from being available. If I take small clones I might be able to keep them under a compact fluro inside a box on a shelf for a while, but I really am limited for room. Hopefully it all works. The plan is to take 32 c99 clones. I want to try and reverse 10 clones from the original 10 seeds and have them polinate 10 other clones from the originals. The remainding 12 clones will go back into the big room 12 pot system.
Anyway, here is what they look like at the moment.

Hey mate nice grow ya got here, I tried to start keeping my grow area cleaner but the wife cracked the shits about all the leaf stuck in the nozzle,keep the pics coming im excited to see these ladys flower
Hello everyone!
My Apologies. Its been some time since I've given you an update. Life got a little busy. So busy in fact that I was unable to turn my girls to flower when I wanted. I had to let them go a bit higher than I wanted and now I am at the very limits.
So tomorrow is the end of week3, so the stretch should not really continue.
They looking good and like always, I've tried too many experiments at once. Not only am I running a new strain but I am trying house and garden base nutes. In the past I have had good success with Dutchmaster, the dutchmaster potash, and shooting powder. This time I've decided to swap out DM for HG. Just an attempt to keep things simple. The one base through veg/flower. One issue I have had, and I am not sure if its the nutes or the fact that their over grown is the undergrowth is suffering premature yellowing. I'm tending to think its more so a light penetration thing. But we will see how we go.
Even though I have been unable to give the girls all the attention they required in the last 4 weeks or so I still think I will get some good bud out of it.
Oh and here are the pictures

I've taken 30 clones. 3 from each of the 10 plants. Hopefully they all root like this one. 10 clones will go BACK into the big room for a second run. 10 will stay in the humidity dome in an attempt to hold them in a suspended state.
10 will go into my tent which is currently at week 6 of flower (side project to this one) and should be clear by the time I am ready to put my plan into action.
So the plan is... the 10 in the tent will be in a tray of coco which will be hand fed RTW. I will let them get their feet into the coco and maybe veg for a week and a bit and commence colloidal silver treatment and switching them to flower.
While these are flowering (hopefully male) I will drop the 10 in the dome into a tray of coco and put them in the large room with the first 10 that will be in veg.
After a few weeks I will put that vegging tray into the flowering tent with the CS treated clones. I'm hoping to get 10 or so 1ft tall plants and enough female pollen to make sure I never have to worry about sneaking seeds past customs again!
