First let me say props to Blazeoneup!
Well it has been a long time since I've posted anything because I have been having all kinds of problems with soil the last 6 months...
Nutrient lockout issues, spider mites, powdery mildew
So I'm sick of dirt and now I'm trying hydro...I got Forbid and eagle 20 for the mites&powdery mildew. Just popped them into the buckets today after a lot of tinkering.
Running a 220gph water pump for the 1/2'' feed lines with 3/4'' return lines, and 185gph to run the 1/10 hp water chiller. Controller is a rubbermaid 18 gal with a float valve that will connect to a 30 gal rez... total system volume is about 35 gallons right at the netpot level. Eco-8 air pump with flexible air diffusers and 2 airstones in the controller. 400 Watt CMH for veg and 1k HPS for flower, separate 3x3 veg chamber will be ebb&flow. 6'' vortex for the carbon filter and 6'' for intake w/pantyhose for filter.
4'' rockwool cubes into hydroton for medium.
Trying to keep things simple on the nutes, running Floranova onepart Grow/Bloom, Roots Accelerator, Sm-90, and ph up. Maybe shooting powder if things are looking healthy in week 6...
Shooting for 800ppm to start things off, ph about 6... I have a ph/ppm tester but I don't entirely trust it... seems like I calibrate it and the next day it's off. That's the only thing that concerns me about this grow.
Oh yeah strains are Chemdawg-4, OG kushX????, and Bubblegummer from female seeds. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!!! It's been a long time since I've had a good harvest but I have high hopes for this system.
