This is gonna be my little playground here at ICmag, looking forward to meeting more of the nice growers here. Normaly im more a chat kinda guy, but I thourt id better make a grow diarie of somekind.

I called my thread razzmatazz because I sometimes have a way to get involved with so many projects, that even I can't find head and tail in em anymore. Never the less it prety much turn out prety good most of the times, so who cares about a bit of confussion - Just relax and smoke another one.

Some ppl might know me, most probably don't have a clue. What ever im looking forward to meet all of ya, get some new input and maybe make new friends. Thats always a blast!

I will mainly follow my playground here, but I there will be other input from other projects and grow's im involved with.
The playground is where I do test growing, fun stuff and im always making changes in it. The past few years there havent been 2 grow's in the "same" setup, then I have made some modifications to the setup or build a new one.

I started with playing around with making a "new" kinda aeroponic grow style, after I have been growing true aeroponic for years I was sick of the Aeroponic growers worst nightmair. Pump failures is a fucking bitch, they acure once in a while and can easy cost a crop if your not in your room everyday.
The Noise from the pumps and misters, made me deside it was not safe to run aeroponic in the room. My lanlord use the apartment next to my growroom for storage and he's in and out there several times a week, so now im playing with NFT and DWC.

I got a Aeroflow28 from a mate for 250 € or soething, I can't remeber but it was way less then ½ price the hydro store charge. So I desided to get my first "pre made" grow setup, it was anyway down in a price where I could not really build one myself cheaper. (so I thourt atleast)




The first run, in my aeroflow, I was so eksited I did not care to wait till the curent harvest where done. So I just placed the setup next to the old bubbler, filled it with clones and straight into flower. If I had 8 tubes or had placed em closer to each other it would have been a great SOG grow, but as it stand there it's to much space between the plants. So they did not fill out the space, with the result of 0.5 gram per Watt. But Super dank and fucking nice single cola plants, so I had enough weed to keep me coverd and I don't care that much about yeald in this room.

5 weeks in flower






The nice result from Wallyducks Pine O seeds





Then I got a old "getto" setup I made for a friend some time ago, it was put together from scraps and costed me in total 180 € to build. Incl Pump, feeding line and fittings fittings, my res is just my old bubbler.



I removed the misterd, the water spraying on the tubes and the high preasure pump just makes to much noise. But then it's a NFT setup like the Aeroflow, the only thing sofar I need to change next time is a puddle of water in the bottom of the tubes. So I will need to silicone glue ½ a "disc" at the end of the tubes making a dam, that will rais the water levels and then the tubes should be painted white or coverd with panda film.

I named this setup Gettoflow!

Placed it next to the Aeroflow28 as good as I could, the aeroflow is a bit lower and got a smaller res. So first i filled the aeroflow and about a week later I placed 28 clones in the gettoflow, it can hold 40 planst but as the light is hanging it would not cover all the 40 plants. There are only 28 in the aeroflow and to be able to make it just a little bit fair, I gave the setups the same amount of plants and light.

When the Pine O's in the aeroflow was big enought, they where topped as I needed atleast 80 good clones in a week or so. That means the aeroflow had a little less then 3 weeks veg and the Gettoflow for 7-10 days veg, they have been flowering 8 days now and just started the 9th. day as the ligths just lit up as im writing this.









Switch to flower June 14




I have mainly got Pine O clones in the room, the gettoflow it filled with Pine O and the aeroflow's to tubes on the right is Afghani #1. They are way behind the Sat/indi mixed Pine O's, but they shoudl still make some nice Afghani weed and im almost out of it.




There are 2000 Watt burning, there are a 600 + 400 Watt in each lamp set. My light mover broke down, so I need a new one. But they are stupid ekspensive, most don't even sell em with out the slider and all that crap I already got.

Curent flower nutrients in use: GH Bloom 3 combo + mg
pH down : Phosphoric Acid (H2PO4)

Veg Nutrients:Local NPK 14-3-23 Salts + micro nutrient I mix myself, it's realy good for mothers/veg and it's cheap as hell. 16 € for 10 L concentrated nutrients, enogh for 2000 L water. Just remeber to change res once in a while, the K kinda build up otherwise but at that price who gives a damn about res changes.

Aeroflow28:
pH: 6.4
Ecc 3000-3400

Gettoflow
pH: 5.9
Ecc 2800-3000

My Ecc meter was off calibration, so I kinda gave em alot of nutrients last time, im topping res everyday and keeping a close eye on em so they don't burn. Pine O is anyway a heavy feeder, im more worryed about the afghani's as they are so small.

Keep it green

ahh i see now, a 50/50 mix how about that. i ran into this thread. it's me bravo Pali. good to see u around and posting where ever u go lol.

[Maj.PotHead]

Been away for 4 days and got home to a wonderfull garden, the planst have stretcd some but very even. So the Pine O canopy is looking nice and even, the Afghani's are getting blocked out but so be it.

All the plants are more or less a few inches over the net now, so I had to move my light up as there where a few tops getting really close to the light. There where n showing damage done to the grow tip, but it will show in a day or two if it have been hurt bad by the heat.

I topped the res and adjusted pH and added some nutrients to the gettoflow, so both systems are running the same Ecc and pH.

Aeroflow:
pH: 5.9
Ecc: 2800

Gettoflow:
pH: 5.8
Ecc: 2850

I did'nt get my cam with me to my grow today, so I'll have to wait with some grow pic's till tomorrow. In the mean time I got this really nice lump of black indian hashish yesterday, has a visit by a friend who always got some really nice hashish. He know I love black indian hashish and that I don't smoke anything else, then indian hashis and my full melt bubble in my chillum.

So i got a nice 7.5 gram lump from him, that will last me some time as I don't smoke chillum that often. It's just so nice to have around when you feal like it, got the right company for it...you know what i mean. Good hash always come handy

I smoked some of it before I got to take the pic, so it's only 7 grams in the pic.





Keep it real

Pali

i never had some of that brownie chococlat chunk like that ever. enjoy some for bravo.

@Sun tzu I shure will mate, i'll take a ride downtown with a huge fatty in my mouth.

I just got a new lowryder bike, it's super sweet and alot longer then most I have seen around here. My old dad had i standing around now for 2 years or maybe 3 and he have not been rideing it more then 200 feet and parked it in the garage, so I was there in the weekend and saw it was starting to rust and get in a bad shape.

I told him I would not see him just let the weather get to it and slowly destroy a awsome bike I have been wishing was mine since he got it, he was a bit like nahh u will just crash it or it will get stolen.

I told him maybe but it will be used and I'll have a great time rideing it and if so I can alwasy buy you a new you can let rust to peaces later on and I just took it.





Today I took a nice ride around town and it was really sweet, you also get alot of attention on a bike like that hehehe and kids yelling "Dad dad dad did you see that bike - I want one!)

Made a deal with a friend that he will remove the rust and powder paint the ugly and rusted chrome parts, it's amasing how redicules bad a chrome there have been used. Been in a garage for 2 years and never seen a drop of rain, still it's more red then chrome. A nice powder paint job will make shure it donw rust again and it will look even better then now and "my" style too.
So all the chrome parts will either be painted red or white, Id prefere cream or off white but my friend don't have all the colors awailable.

Pali

how about that when i read it i was thinking it was one of them neft motor bikes lol. all the same though hey i agree once that bike gets a face lift she's gonna be the talk of the town in the neighbor hood. with out giving myself away i was having a conversation about getting a bike so i can get to certain places on time or to show folks i have transportation. funny thing is i went to a bike shop and saw a crem color bike that was nefty and i like they it felt and looked in apperance. i canot lie i also saw this chocolate' looking bike that was cheeper but these prices where outstanding and damn near floored me when i saw the 300 price tag. gazooks i says, anyway i'm rambling and flying off course. i have some studying to do. keep us posted on those pineO's and afghani's.

Woah dude!

@sun yeah it's deffently a bike ppl notice, a friend of mine got one to he told me when I meet him in town today cruiseng around. He's Ex GF just have it but he have been trying to get it all summer, but she lives in another city and she have been giveing him trouble he said. Never the less it's be nice when he get it, we can ride around the park smokeing joints.

Howdy Pontiac or woah right back at ya, welcome to my garden and enjoy your stay.

I promised myself to get some pic's today, good timeing as they are now 2 weeks into flower. They got some nice little flowers that will soon start growing alot bigger, the streaching should be more or less over now and the bud building should really kick in the next 2 weeks and from there they should mainly grow fatter and not higher.

I did a small ajustment to the pH in the Gettoflow, took it down from 6.2 to 5.8 and the aeroflow was fine as it is. I added 25 ml per 100 L H2O2 in the gettoflow too, the water in that setup is still a few degees to hot IMO so just to be shure theres nothing bad growing in the water and between the roots.

The water in the gettoflow is still a bit to hot, hitting 26.5 C degrees during light on. I prefer it at 21 C degrees, but up to 24 C it's normaly not a problem. Around the 26 degrees the risk grow's along with the root's, for something bad growing along and sudenly will take over. Right at first the teps where up around 32, but the root's stayed nice and white as I off course is monitoring the root's closely when I know the water is to hot.

So 14 days in 12/12 (just started day 15 a few hours ago)

Aeroflow:
pH: 5.9
Ecc: 2950

Gettoflow:
pH: 5.8
Ecc: 2990













Keep it green
