Here is my new Drain to waste system. Just got it finished up on the weekend. Picked up my new girls as well and treated them to some Forbid and Imid!!! Planning on transplanting into 2 gallon Smart Pots on Thursday and firing up my new setup!! :woohoo:


New girls as well as my 10 PPP seedlings. As you can see, 4 of them are really small and yellow. Only thing I can think of is I kept those too wet in the beginning and roots never took off properly. I stopped watering them the past week or so and they seem to be greening up and I noticed some roots poking out the bottom of the pots. I think they should recover.

Led I will be updating today

Led are u using OGbiowar bennies, if not I would get some and put the tea on em. Transplant them yellow plants and add the nute pack to the coco the roots will blast off. I can fill a 1 gal pot up with roots in less than a week.

Perro thanks for stopping in. I ll surely have some more root porn from the UC maybe transplant the coco one more time before I flip as well

Those roots are gorgeous!!! When I go to transplant my clones which are in 1.5" rockwool cubes into there final 2 gallon smart pots. What do you think would be better. Pre charge my canna coco with 500ppm of nutes and cal-mag or should I wet the fresh coco with OG Biowar Tea? Or should I pre charge with nutes. Let it sit for a day. Then 24 hours later when I go to transplant hit them with some tea? Thanks bud.

Just wondering why your only feeding once a day now that our roots have filled the pots? You using co2? Up to this point have your plants received any training?

Looking great bud!! :tiphat:

Led Im a total nube with coco and still trying to figure the whole cal mag thing out. What I do is transplant into the pot, run 500 ppm cal and base thru it with a shit ton of runoff til its coming out around what Im putting in. Then feed them the tea the next watering. They seem to like this.
I was going to start multiple feeds but decided to transplant instead.
Im running co2 at 800ppm in veg and I have topped them once but Im about to top them again and hang the trellis later this week

Ontheherb Im using the nute pack mixed into the coco at transplant.
I use the root and foliar at 1 tbls per gallon ro water, ewc at 1/4 cup per gal, alfalfa meal 1/4 cup gal, alaska huma soil 1/4 cup gal, buffalo loam 1/8 cup gal and hibrix or molasses at 25 ml per gal all brewed for 24hrs with a shit ton of air
I been mix and matching the dif compost and dif starting phs of the tea. I havent brewed the same batch of tea yet

Thanks for stoppin in

Sounds. Looking forward to pics of the trellis installed. You planning on using the trellis to help spread your plants apart? Do you think your whole canopy will be covered when you flip to flower?

Good luck bud, I'll be here watching :dance013:

Please take pics on how you weave with the trellis. I have a pretty good idea on what needs to be done but I'd like to see some good pics on this technique. Thanks bud

Another quick question. What is your lights on humidity and lights off humidity right now? Are u using anything for a humidifier?

Awesome!! Can't wait to see those pics!!

I guess your humidity is up that high during lights on cause of all the moisture in the tables and from the pots?? Cause on my last round where I did twelve 30 gallon totes giving water every 3-4 days. Highest I could get humidity up to in the room was like 30-40% and that was with 2 small ultrasonic humidifiers running!!! I guess now with a sealed room that will help me bring humidity up as well.... It'll really be a welcome change having all this humidity!! I'm shooting for 65-70% humidity during lights on and off. I want these bitches to explode with growth!!!:dance013:

I get the same this time of year with my passive intake. I usually fill and set a 5g bucket with plain water in front of the vent with four little towels draping out of the top. THe air rushing by has more water added to it.

Sad this is, I have to run a dehuey at lights off starting around week 2-3 or else the RH spikes to 90%+ if I don't and the PM wants to be a bitch
