i got hooked up with a few free samples from these guys. https://www.cxhydroponics.net/products

they gave me the bloom formula for coco, mighty grow, regena-root, wilt guard and head masta. i'm also dosing 2 ml H2O2 per gallon every day.

seems like their products work pretty well so far, but they don't answer e-mails (or i keep sending them to the wrong people)

can't bitch to loud though.

it was free

@8&Aces: Nice plants!!

My Finolas didn't move a millimetre since weeks and the trichomes look shrivelled and milky. Hence, I decided to chop the tallest one with the most swollen calyxes as final cup contestant. She's about 60 cm tall and has a fresh weight of 9 grams.
Here some pics and close-ups:

And a very blurred attempt of taking a photo of a trichome through my old microscope as well as the seeds I sawed and the seeds I harvested. The seeds show a quite impressive difference in size; would have wanted the whole plants to do that too.

EDIT: I just went to chop N° 2 when it got eaten right in front of me... by my dogs! WFT!!

Blimey! I'm impressed. What's the setup for that?

Only Ornamental · 05-27-2014, 07:31 PM

I 'dissected' the rootstocks to see how they look (sorry, no pics for that): it was pitiful

. Hence, I'd like to share my lessons learned from the 'faisselle' approach.
- Humidity between water and 'faisselle' in the reservoir was too low (no tight fitting between inner and outer cup) preventing small roots from growing out of the holes in the inner cup (aka faisselle).
- There was something toxic in the glue used to stick the straw to the hole in the bottom of the reservoir (aka yoghurt cup) causing large roots to die off quickly.
- Eventually too much light in the reservoir.
- Growing Finola under 12/12 and at rather low light intensity was a very stupid (or rather unproductive) decision.

As a solution I'm now going to (no, not for the yogi cup challenge but for fun and knowledge) use a 'soil-airoponic-hybrid' setup with the faisselles above a big reservoir containing an ultrasonic fogger used for indoor fountains (visible is only its red LED) and I'll likely use CFLs 24/7. The metal screen in the middle of the cover wasn't really intentional but is there because I used to cultivate roaches in that box; now it's covered with cling wrap and may serve later on as ventilation in case the plants need it

. Besides, the whole thing will be wrapped in aluminium foil as soon as the plants start growing.
We'll see how that works out... if it is successful, I'll start a new thread.

Here's the pic of my new bricolage:
