What kind of C02 setup are you using? If the bottles, how long do they usually last before needing to be changed out?
Wow that is significantly more than the coco. Do you think if you vegged the coco faster (or longer) that they would fill in more and produce more? Or do you think its just the nature of the beast and the UC will always outperform?
Also, what was your final conclusion on the taste/smell differences you mentioned earlier?
BigGreen: are you saying "2 1/2" tanks per cycle? guy at the store told me i would go through 1 1/2 tanks per week..... didn't seem right to me....
also do you have your c02 hooked up to a controller? or regulator/timer?
Yes 2 1/2 tanks per grow cycle thats veg and bloom about 11-12 weeks. Im using an sentinell cppm 1
Led never grown the Wifi before. Banging it in some coco right now and it looks killer
Ill try to get some pics of it, busy rebuilding the UC room there a few little adjustments that Im hoping get me to the 2# per
I'm 2 weeks away from finishing off my grow. Then we will know if this Aptus is all its cracked up to be. I know for next round I will use heavy 16 during flower. Haven't decided if I will stick with Aptus or go another route?
Im running H&G full line right now in 5 and 7 gal smart pots. I want to see what it can do by itself. The aptus for me is to much work. Its an extra day I have to be there and Im trying to free up time
I would definitely add co2 at week 4 on a 10 -12 week strain.
Led I was getting big ass colas without co2 for years but when I added co2 I got more big ass colas. Usually I would get about 1 per plant that was really big, this run I got 3 or 4 huge colas per plant + a shit load of 16 inchers
talk to nature about thatI'm not 100% sold that co2 increases flower size?
talk to nature about that
big green didnt you chop a bunch off the coco plants and not the uc? you dont think that affected yield? really nice grow btw, whats your take on the aptus? i got some really cheap so im gunna try it jacks setup seems to kill it with aptus but others ive seen run it dont seem to get the early stacking he reports,and the yield increases,everyone reports great quality tho, what are your thoughts
Love to see updates on your new grow bro! SO you ditching the smaller 3 gallons pots you used in this grow and running bigger smart pots now? How many plants per table?
SO I've been doing a TON of reading and I really do think the extra feeds during lights on is what makes some coco grows more successful than others. My next round I will feed 3 times a day during veg and then 6 times a day during flower. All that extra O2 roots will receive from the increased feeds will make the coco respond more like your UC system. Hundred Gram OZ is getting 9 ounces per plant in 1.5 gallon pots feeding 5 times during lights on, and TheHerbalizor is getting 9+ ounces per plant in 3 gallon smart pots feeding 6 times a day WITH NO CO2!!!! pretty crazy numbers!!!
I too am thinking of ditching the Aptus and running Canna Coco nutes with maybe just some bloom booster in flower and some Silica with weekly tea and sea green added with the tea. No more running sea green separately and Aptus separately. That would eliminate 2 days of hand feeding which save a TON of time!!
Or run the full H&G line up which can all b run through drippers and still once a week tea..... But like you said, gotta make things easier!!!!
