ok this is just a storage bin, holds around 5 gallons no problem. i usually mix up 10L at a time but i think i will go to 20L at a time soon.

put 4 holes in the top for the two drain tubes coming off of the dutch tray. just two holes drilled in the bottom so it can drain straight down into the res. one hole for the drip line, one hole for the pump cord. cut slits so i can fit the plug through a smaller hole.

the drip line just runs up and through the side. you can see one of the drain lines, the lid stays under and attached, just pop the lid and slide the bottom res out. its clear so i can monitor levels easily. pump works in 1/2" of water.

use straws off the drippers to easily control where to put the water, even made splitters. doesnt really work as i planned, but its working. straws are the BEST for this. screw that 1/8" or 1/4" rigid line.

got some excess hose i know, nice to have enough slack to put your last dripper anywhere you want.

pretty sano, i like.
oh and i REALLY like these timers i got 2 now and they are the bomb.. dual outlet and 15A rated (1800w)
Intermatic heavy duty digital timer
i also like these pumps, plenty of power to push a drip system.

sweet work with the mini storage and tubing. haha no way on the straws!, cheapest most effective drippers ever ha.

i also use an intermatic dual outlet timer. it works great. pretty cheap too! 20 bucks at lowes.

ill need to hook up a drip pretty soon, myself. my plant wants watering at like 4+ times a day. i cant always hand do that ya no.

 

[freeride high]

thanks!
yea you definetly need to get a drip going, i have nothing else to do right now and i would go nuts if i had to water by hand! drip is the way to go, for sure.

bagseed sprouted today, lets see if i can keep it alive ive failed miserably with seedlings in the past! strain is 100% unknown, but by the rate of growth(been 5 days since germ) this should be some healthy genes.
wish it luck!

 

[freeride high]

wow gave my first dose of pk13/14 this morning and BAM i got trichs!!!!!!!!! this is gonna be frosty!!

 

[freeride high]

pics!!

couple well rooted clones. gave a couple of spare clones to a friend for some more genetics. they will be coming in a week or so.

my baby is budding so nicely now! her focus is 100% bud as of now.

filled out very very nicely, my expectations for this plant keep growing!

transplanted 3 purple kush clones into one slab. its a very clean and easy setup.

ive never had a seedling grow this much under my care, i think its gonna survive!

and the Cannalope haze is just BLOWING UP! this plant grows so fast its really amazing. i started a bit of lst on her to save space. the pot is connected to the res just like the dutch tray.

im not making it look easy, its been a dream grow thus far. thank you icmag!!

 

[buddin_904]

dammm your buds are already loaded with crystals it seems.

quick ? what pH are u feeding the flowering plant

 

[freeride high]

yea i know! in the past few days it went from nothing to the beginnings of some super frosty herb.
i start my res a 5.5 and it sweeps to 6.0-6.5 before i adjust it. i dont have accurate data due to drop checks, someday i will get a hanna and my life will be so much easier!
i fear overgrowth when im finally able to throw the three clones in flower, but then again im not worried, lst a dense sog and push that gpw limit through the roof!

Drop your EC. You can see the leaf tips burning a little and sides curling upwards. If you want to use high EC levels without burning your plants you should fist hold a stable lower EC for a while and then give some boosting [i ex. add +0,4 EC = ~0,3 times more nutes than on the receipe] to them and drop it again after two days but a little bit higher than before.

Easy to do in dripper. First adjust your stable EC nutes. When it is time to change water or add water add only little water with stronger nutes. After two days add some water to take the EC down again. If your plant shows any signs of stress or burning take it down immediatelly.

For the "overgrowing" part: If you just keep on tying them it wont be a problem. Besides you can snap all of the lower branches off so you'll have much bigger buds in main tops.

[EDIT] Get that Hanna asap. With it you can see what is happening when you're boosting. If your EC stays at constant level your plant takes up nutes as it takes water = GOOD, If your EC starts to rise your plants absorb water more than nutes = BAD = lower EC. Obviously you know what to do if EC is dropping...

ease up in both flower and veg rooms?
thanks for the help aleksis!
just looked and they dont look as bad as in these pics.
heres my current res stats
veg; 15ml a+b, 40ml rhizotonic, 5ml cannazyme, 5ml ph down to 5.5, 20ml calmag, 10l water
flow; 30ml a+b, 5ml rhizotonic, 15ml cannazyme, 2ml ph down to 5.5, 20ml calmag, 10l water
2ml ph down added this morning to bring ph back down to 5.5 from 6.5.

everything grows so fast, i dont post pics for a couple days and everything looks different!
check it out!
these pics were taken 2days ago and yesterday.

check out the split stem!

 

[buddin_904]

wow your flowerer seems to have a huge amount of resin for its age!

what are your day and night temps? and how many ppm or ec are u feeding???

sweeeeet

 

[freeride high]

yea its building up FAST!
80f day 65f night, idk what im ppm im at, no meter. my current rez stats are on post 51.
safe to say this is some quality genetics. im honored to be growing it really!

 

[buddin_904]

i think your night temps have some to do with the amount of resin you get. my temps are sadly, 83 day 80 night. i am most likely, very soon, going to pick up a 5000 btu a/c unit and use it strictly for the night time. you think thats a good idea? my plant is growing at a vigorous pace utilizing a lot of water / nutes and the size is great, however the resin isnt that thick.

 

[buddin_904]

how do you have yours so low?....your location? or did u have a/c????

 

[freeride high]

location, its finally cooling off around here. i leave my fans running 24/7.

 

[freeride high]

macro shots!

 

[freeride high]

changed my rezcipe a little bit today.
to 10L of water;
flower 25ml a+b, 5ml rhizo, 15ml cannazyme, 10ml pk13/14, 15ml calmag+
veg 15ml a+b, 20ml rhizotonic, 5ml cannazyme, 20ml calmag+

 

[buddin_904]

u use canna pk 13/14?
i just ordered a bottle. my first canna product. looks like you got the whole line up LOL
