600w Ebb & Flow Closet Grow
- Thread starter 70wDreams
- Start date
That leaf a while back - looked like potentially spider mite damage - be sure to next time check for bugs as well as nutrients.
I think your PPMS could of been higher.
The high heat from the HPS is good - just like the radiant sun.
You need a stronger fan for the cool tube - using a Hydrofarm 400cfm 6" fan for 90$ you'll cool that bad boy with zero worries plus it'll increase your exhaust cfms which passively increases your intake so you will constantly have fresh air and cooler air. If you have a carbon Filter
Are you making the A/C cool the room with the tent or just the tent? Exhausting the heat out of hte whole room will make a MASSIVE difference.
I say run the light at 100% and just lower the plants or raise the light.
Ganja grows in Afghan... its fukcing HAWT AND DRY and we always treat it like its a bromeliad growing in some tropical jungle.
Its a weed - tough plant
Now regarding your grassy smelling weed. Be there.
Dry it longer. Next time you harvest take off everything with NO FROST.
Leave the rest on and dry em in a cool high air flow "dark" if you can place. Give them 5 days if its hot n dry say 80F and 40% RH.
Give em 7 days it ifs 75F 50%RH and 10 days if its 70F 50%+ RH.
You can tell by the stems - the big stems wont' bend - they will snap - dry.
That point you take out ur non stick parchment paper - put the dry buds on there and do what I call the "double standard" trim. Basically take all those frosty leaves off you might have taken before and stash them for some concentrates - butter - w/e you want... tea.
Now you have ready to smoke buds
They should smell strong too and the cure is only going to make them better.
Your root picture btw
You doing a fine job brother - nice grow - its fun!

Hey there!
Could have been spider mites, but the rest of the grow was unaffected. There has been no huge outbreak. I've had those bastards before.
Currently, I can't exhaust heat outside. It's just not an option. Also, I can't lower the plants, nor raise the light. This is almost a micro grow... and 100% power would cook these ladies. It's already upwards of 90f in there.
I think the PPMs could be higher, but I've read that under-feeding was better than over-feeding. Also, when the small res. evaporates, the PPMs raise due to concentration. So, at first the PPMs may be low, but after two days, and 2-3 gallons of water evaporating, the nutes are more concentrated.
Thanks for the curing tips!

I bet that is from mixing up your nutes to fast and getting lockout. if you don't stir up your A enough and don't wait 10 minutes or so before adding the B, the calcium will lock out of your rez. When I use general hydroponics that happens to me.
Also, purpling of the stems and black/dkpurple spots are a phosphorus deficiency. you could try adding more P. could also be a mixing issue as well.
I started with GH and switched to advanced nutrients and then to botanicare pure blend pro which is one bottle; not two
a handy tutorial to understand how your ph works that I found very useful when understanding ph fluctuations is the ph manifesto which you can find using google.
I have read some debate also with h2o2 and if it really oxygenates because of a chemical process making the extra oxygen not available. I use Dutchmasters Zone which is stronger and provides copper as well.
This system has so little waste, so little stuff to deal with... i must say... this round of growing was not very labor intensive...
and to clean up, you just roll it up... something we are all familiar with...
and quite the bit of flowers were produced
about 10 oz in all!
the high is racy... very clean and uppy. the strain came from a bagseed that wasnt super dense. the seeds produced a plants - one more sativa looking and one that was more indica looking... and this is that one that is more indica looking, but by saying that i mean that the bud structure is more compacted and less airy. the high isnt an indica high
this strian is gone, but some more are in the works in Round III...
thanks for checking out the thread!

cool grow tho i bet if you had filled up with the leca rock to the same height as the netpot's i bet you would have up'ed your yield atleast 30% look's like that root zone could have used some air try and throw some leca rocks in the before you start veg's next time man
keep it up

Good joB

Thanks for the advice! On the last grow, I did exactly what you suggested and at the end I was left with a TON of clay pellets to sanitize. I wanted to try this method of just letting the pots sit on the bottom of the tray with no sea of pellets to reduce the amount of labor, and the time, in between grow cycles.
The tray would flood for 15 minutes a few times during the 12 hours of light and that's about it! I thought it would be too long, but there were no significant issues from what I saw.
insane root porn man!
thx for ur kind words in my thread, i´m still stunning bout ur growchambers
that 70w box rly impressed me, nice build n work
