Hello IC readers!
Well its time i started my new topic for my next upcoming grow, 2 Balls 1 Pot.
In this grow im going to be practicing two new techniques to me, which some may have heard of, but there isnt a great deal of documentation on either here on IC.
Ill be trying serpentine layering and a HOG (half-pipe of green)
serpentine layering is a technique of which you take a branch of a plant, bury it so it roots, and youll have extra rootmass for your plants.
HOG is a screen of green, but bent to a half-pipe shape so it goes halfway around the bulb, ill be using a 250Watt HPS and a ghetto made reflector made from the side of a PC case and some reflective foil tape.
HOG was first baught to my attention from a very capable grower here on IC, his name slips me, but i have a picture i saved of his grow, if you know his name please post it so i can give credit.
Ill be ordering a new 125mm inline fan on thursday hopefully, it will be here within afew days from that.
the only thing realy stopping me sofar is the fact im still reveging my future motherplant, she is doing very well and should be able to give clones within the next few weeks.
My grow wardrobe is 52cm deep, 88cm wide and 150cm tall, i have 45cm x 120cm of screen bent into a wide U shape.
my screen is currently set at 17inches away from the bulb at all angles, this is abit far, but im exspecting the canopy to rise abit while i lst, its going to be a loooong veg.
I will be using 2 "rubbermaids" as theyre called in the US, and growing in soil, 1 clone per container, using serpentine layering on each, to make sure all of my soil is used.
Im thinking this will help the plants as each one will have ALOT of tops (6sqft of screen to fill) and it will help in getting the nutes and water they need to them.
sorry theres none of my pictures up, i am working on it all at the mo and will get pics up ASAP.
Thanks for reading, cork.
P.S, ill be at 41watts per sqft of screen, its low, but my clone yeilds well under little light.
also i rep every post i can.
