Hey Jack I know you usually do 20-25 plants per 4x8 tray. Do you know roughly how many "tops" you get per tray to hit your magic numbers? I'll be doing 13-15 plants per tray so just trying to figure out how many "tops" I should shoot for per plant.

You got my vote for grow of the century!!! :tiphat:

Re: 3 weeks in with Aptus shits blowing up around here..

Yep got my vote.

Jack I keep having Mag def issues with CalMag Plus no matter what I do.

Ph 5.8
CMP every feeding
R/O water
Base Canna A+B with CMP 650ppm
Co2 1000ppm
Temp. 85 day. 75 night
RH 58%ish

Any thoughts. Was thinking about adding some epsome salts.

Its seems that maybe calcium is locking out the mag. CMP is like 4 to 1 cal to mag. I thought they needed to be in balance. Idk

Thanks

Thanks every one for the votes.. LEDNewbie. Always shoot for as many tops as possible and since you veg way longer then I do you should not have a problem getting lots of tops.. Top then top those tops then again im always pinching tops I can't help but walk by a plant and top and super crop.TP a pic would help brewing OG Bio war tea/ Capulator tea with alfalfa and worm castings really greens them up. You can always bump your cal mag up. And a little epson salt will not hurt.. But with out a pic it's hard to tell..Jack

I don't change my hoods hard enough making it in this flooded with shitty weed market every one and there brother is growing White Fire people pop a few seeds and get a White pheno and think they have the holy grail then sell it to the clubs. I have seen so much shitty grown cheap meds these days thats just crap! And to top it off selling it for dirt cheap this is exacatly why I keep my shit on lock.. Changing hoods is a waist of time and money ..JACK
haha damn Jack I couldn't agree with you more.. so many poooty ass bullshit cheap meds floating around all over the place I can only imagine how it is down there in Cali bro...I am an mmj access point owner in the Seattle area and my number one rule is if I don't wanna blaze it or eat it NEVER touches my shelf I don't give two shits how much money it can bring in.. I'm in this business because I love this plant and we're lucky enough to be allowed to do what we love for a living... Getting paid for it is a bonus! I love fat, sticky, icky, stinky nuggets!! Not some nasty, pale, bland, un-loved bullshit nuggets!

Trash ass meds on my counter would embarrass me.. I couldn't tell you how many different "white" Phenos vendors have brought into the shop.. right along with "gdp" "og kush" 1 or 2 out of every 20 or so of the vendors that walk through have something worth checking out.. pretty sure all the fire is gone before it has a chance to be shown off... i'm sure you know how that goes!
Mad respect.. good luck with the grow of the year!

3 days veg So far so good they're really taking off going to top them all tomorrow. On the Rock wool side feeding them 1000 ppm 0.7 scale. Only feeding them once a day will bump the feed up to three times a day tomorrow. On the Chow side feeding them once a day in veg at 700 PPM In beds there is no need to feed them over 700 ppm in veg ..

nice glad your working those side by sides...ive had good results in chow mix as well, they started off kind of slow as i dialed it a bit but at the end the yield and qualty was good.

very interested in how those rockwool pellets....i was toying with the idea of mixing coco or soil with rockwool cubes soaked in a root solution.....seems like those small rockwool pockets will explode in root growth.

do you rinse and saturate your rockwool before planting? and only doing base+calmag the entire run or adding some PK later on?

Hey Jack looking stellar my friend for real between you and Dutch Touch you guys make this shit look easy. awesome set up and plants man. I know its far from easy, tons of hard work an long days I am sure. Hey man in your opinion what could you recommend some one like me in a MUCH smaller OP use as far as the aptus line? Right now I am in CoCo and running a maxibloom (modified K.I.S.S.) 7g/gal maxi, 2.5ml/gal pro-tek silicate, and 2.5ml/gal of cal/mag.. Then I would use some powder koolbloom. Any ways I have tried the "Rezipe" , gratefullHeads, flora nova bloom, even ran the H&G line. As I understand all I would need to run is the fasilitor, and bloom boost with my base ? Thats what DT was sayn to me but I think I was lost in translation with him. I am just tryn to pick your brain a lil bit cuz you guys shit looks outstanding and it must be the aptus so what the hell mite as well see for myself thanks in advance man keep up the great work bro.

nice and clean room..very pro setup the wireing was done very neatly and organized .like how your feeder lines are placed.. no tangles...are they 1/2 inch? the plants look freakin sweet man..do u strip any bottoms before/during flowering? i can imagine it can turn into a jungle real quick with all the under growth......very impressed with your work on the garden its very hard work at times and also quite demanding ....the mini rw cubes are sick maximum aeration i cant imagine how many bags of the stuff u need to supply all those tables..lol Much Respect the setup looks optimal hope all your hard work pays off 10 fold.....oh btw forgot to mention but are you supplementing c02 for all those girls?...( you probably are but just had to ask anyways) best of luck im sure your run's gonna be epic...

I soaked the rockwool crutons with base nutes and cal mag at 650ppm ph at 5.5 for 12 hrs then when I planted the cuttings watered at 900 ppm ph 5.9. For now im just using base and cal mag but I might hit them with a pk booster just depends how they look trying to keep it simple.

With Aptus you can use any base if your going to do a real test with Aptus I would suggest using the entire line and following there exact feed chart. JACK
