say jack, do you still give your plants 36 hrs of dark time before the flip ?
thanks.
 
Jack I was wondering if you could give a little advice from your expertise on procuring a warehouse and just some tidbits such as security, renting, type of warehouse, location, do the landlords know, something the average grower may not be taking into account, etc.. That type of thing. Thanks for showing what you do!!!

just start searching and ask around..ive seen prop215 friendly warehouses on craigslist before. also seen others that limit the usage to 50 amps and have on the lease form "NO MARIJUANA GROWING".....and a friend of mine who has a 50 lighter for 6-7 years now, the warehouse owner is ok with the growing and even gets a percentage of the profits....other landlords are sketched by the federal seizure laws so they dont want to touch it..its all about who you know.
 

That looks great. Where is your perlite? My problem with Coco is the plants tend to sit in moisture for too long. We cut ours now with 50% perlite
 
A couple of questions for Jack or anyone that can help

1. Jack says he waters daily. In our Coco grow it takes the medium 3-4 days to dry out if we water until we get runoff. How to fix this? We are now adding 50% perlite hoping that helps out. Also running cloth pots.


2. Feed, Feed, Water or feed everytime?


3. How often is Jack flushing these grows?


4. I didn't hear any mention of a PK spike at week 4-6 at all, is that not being done?


Thanks in advance!

maybe i was correct and thats why the pics dissapeared..

ya jerk:biggrin:


I've contracted PM Blumeria graminis before now.

It ain’t no fun watching it pop up everywhere, especially in rooms like jack's got, and it really pisses of the trimmers!

I wonder if we will see any more pictures of the op, I guess jack's busy now.

Having to re-do those beds is a mission and a half.

Jack,

Hell of a grow you got here man:tiphat: Still workin my way through your thread.

Got a question about your drip system if you have the time. I've been running open ended drippers here for awhile (little squirrel cage stakes on the end of my lines), but I've never been able to get even water distribution to all my planters. If I don't have my pumps kicked pretty much on full-blast some of em won't get any nutes at all, and if I turn it up all the way everything just streamlines through the coco. Was looking for more of a slow drip type deal, or somekind of spraying ends where I could get good even saturation, but I was told anything other than open ends constantly gets clogged up with salts.

So yeah, just wondering if you have any trouble with your drippers clogging up? Thinkin I gotta have some resistance on the ends of my lines to get the effect I'm looking for. My tables are pretty crammed together though. It'd be a royal pain in the ass to have to be monitoring and switch out clogged drippers in the middle of a run.

Agreed↑↑ containers should be drying out daily if not twice a day. Also he doesn't add a pk booster as he already is using aptus...hence the name of the thread.

Hi Jack

I have a friend growing in Coco and he is struggling to figure out what base to use with Aptus and at what PPMs to go off.

I use personally use Aptus but I'm a outdoor/greenhouse guy in soil and I never check my PPms, I try to read the plant.

Do you have a week by week PPM chart I can give him with a base that worked good for you. He uses Canna A & B at the moment but any help would be great:thank you:
