Hello to all my true brothers and sisters. Thank you all for knowledge, experimentation, honest opinions and the heartfelt desire to achieve more while sharing, as we all know, so many of us can be so secretive.
First off, I have to say I love coco....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE COCO. I started off in coco with nothing but canna... the whole line. Never used a meter, just distilled. Everything ran perfect. Off that wifey and I bought our first house. Now, like an idiot I tried to go to rocks in a bucket system in the new house-C.G.E.- 10,000 Watts, Harvest Master Pro Plus, Gen. propane burner, 100 gal res, water chillers, air handler, 5 ton compressor, sulfur burner, the whole nine. Basically my set up can be adjusted to whatever temp including low 50's at the touch of a button. After dialing everything in kept experiencing root rot and cyanobacteria - one or the other, can't really tell. After chasing that problem since Sept.(yep, call me a dumbass) of last year and going into huge debt, I decided to go back to coco. Yeah I know
what took me so long. Stupidity, really. Trying to chase a dream that I didn't quite understand. Rocks suck, sorry, for me they suck, now my buddy gets in upwards of 15 units in the same type of setup, however he's at a higher elevation, maybe that makes a difference maybe not. I'm not willing to try and figure it out anymore. I'm going with what I know. That brings me to this:
I have a custom built table measuring 6 ft by 14 ft, everything's in 3 gal bags, some with bcuzz coco and some with ez coco phase 1, and I'll probably pick up some canna today and see which do better. I know all coco is different but like I said prior, coco is home for me. I have drippers going to every bag with feed to waste for now until I can get comfortable with the recirc.
Now, if I have my res in one room and feed before the CO2 comes but the system recirc's, what about when the CO2 comes back on and it's feeding time? Isn't that enough time to pick up carbonic acid and bring it back to the res? Now from there where do you go? That's my only problem with the recirc. Chasing PH is not fun, you turn into a up/down slave, always checking. Hmmm, unless you have the ph nanny --something to think about.
Next question, when I read the threads on the dripping throughout the day, I've seen everything from 30 sec 3-4 times per day to 2 minutes 3-4 times a day. We all know every setup is different, however has anybody noticed an informed or confirmed difference in yield in an honest opinion? I'm interested in hearing about that. Not assumptions, but true yield difference when bagging up. Has anybody said "Wow, that's what I'm doing from now on!"?
Anyhow, thank you all for supplying all the knowledge, ideas, sarcasm and care into all your threads. It's much appreciated to us who stay in the shadows. My op. is a medical grow in cali. so I don't worry to much about anything, even after I had cops show up at the door after my apartment manager said she smelled "marijuana odor". But for all others who are trying to cultivate a natural plant in not so forgiving cities, keep it up. Screw Big B and the Rothschilds that control them. Learn to cultivate to free yourself.
I will be posting pics sometime in the next week or so of the progress of this run, but I have to finish up the room and am gonna take a couple days to get some sleep.
To give you an appetizer to marinate on -- Same system as above, all Bubba Kush...the real one (reason I say this is because I went through a lot of clones before finding one that can literally make someone's heart stop. I'm a heavy hitter and need something that I can feel, instead of think about if I'm feeling it. This also may help someone with future budgets if they have a similar strain.) Her tops are normally cut at 54 days and I let the rest fill out while I trim and dry. If I take her out all at once she's a 58 day girl. Fast and hard is how she likes it.
Sorry to post so much, just an introduction of myself.
Oh, for nutes: (this is my custom recipe)
My water is run through de-chlorinator. Found that using that helps with the trace minerals your plants can use while getting rid of the chlorine and other sediments. Another cool thing about this is if you have a larger res it fills 50 times quicker than an R/O. I have R/O as an option but it takes soooooooooooooooooo long....yeah that long.
H&G Aqua A & B
Cal Mag only 1.5 - 2 ml to make up if any got lost in the de-chlor
Roots Excel. (for first 3 weeks)
BCuzz Bloom
Hydroplex
Protekt
Drip Clean
Bud XL
no zym's until after roots excel, but then I'll run Multi-Enzyme, or Hydrozym
Gravity
Shooting Powder
Peace and Love
We are All ONE
remember that
