a ppk for a 6 plant limit

[fliptopbox]

5 to 6 pounds typically. Depends on strain characteristics, of course.

Let me put it you this way....for every penny I spend, I get ten pennies back. I can't find a more productive system or setup for the laws I operate under (and given that space limitation).

What would your ideal room dimensions be for a 4 plant/5 light setup with 600s in the corners and a 1000 in the center? What about all 1000s?

In case anybody is interested it is post 730 and 731 in this thread where D9 describes how he does his AFP. Pictures are still up last time I checked.

I actually saved the links to the specific posts when I was testing the Profile media, so here they are to make this easier for others.

Porosity Test #1
Porosity Test #2
Capillary Rise Test

How many weeks is veg to achieve or get close to those number when going into flower?

You can use the same size room for each bulb intensity configuration.

For those using turface what are you guys using for PH up and down?

 

[Boutique Manettino]

Turface Pro MVP pH Conditioner.

(also marketed as "Major League pH Pro" on the East Coast)

Hey @fliptopbox, how is your single plant ppm coming along? Really interested in your setup as it suits my experiment requirements. Peace.

FlipTop, start a thread... Simple PPK.

Good simple PPK set up.

Agreed

Peace.

I am new at PPK and use 50/50 perlite/turface. No Ph adjusters.

Root aphids got the first; never get clones from strangers. The second was pulled early due to buying a house and moving. When I get my new room setup in a few months I'll start a thread.

I never need ph up but I used the Advanced Nutrients concentrated ph down. No issues.

I live on a limestone shelf so ph naturally rises.

I use rooms anywhere from 10x10 to 12x12...ish. My latest flower room uses 4 x 1000 watt DE fixtures in a 12x12' (w/10' ceiling).

^ what he said about Advanced Nutrients.

I usually have to adjust pH in the opposite direction and bump it up.

For the purposes of this thread and setting up a PPK grow, you can use the same pH products for different types of media (Turface, Perlite, Coco mix etc). It doesn't matter.

The Advanced stuff is SUPER concentrated and lasts a long time. This bottle is old (you can tell by the label) and still almost 1/3rd full.



Whether you need to add pH UP or DOWN, if you're using the Advanced Nutrients product, start with just a few drops at a time per (5) gallons of nutrient solution and even less if you're mixing a lower volume.

The faucets deliver liquid rock here too.... limestone like u wouldnt believe here. Hardness off the charts. Makes filling and ph'g the hot tub a real chore.... lol

Yep, this is the stuff! I really like how concentrated it is. Fill a water bottle with it....it's heavier than water which is fun.

Regarding veg times:

There are a few things to consider when estimating growth rate. Is your room perfectly sealed? Vapor pressure deficit correct? Co2? Strain vigor? Light spectrum and intensity? Training technique? Overall room design/setup?

Given how I usually do things though, I root a cutting in a solo cup for 10-14 days, then into the ppk for another 3-4 weeks depending....then flip. For a one pound plant, I top at the 7th decent lateral and let the plant get to 30" all around. Then flip. Foe two pounds, about 36-42". For 4 pounds, 54-60".

i've been using this stuff for a while. it doesn't take much and it will have a long lasting effect.

a small amount of this will bring ph down and hold it for a while. also might allow you to play with nutrient profiles a bit.

Once again thanks to everybody who chimed in on my ph adjustment question. It is much appreciated. I ended up going with the concentrated stuff from advanced nutrients.

I mixed up a gallon of jacks last night to 600 ppm using RO water just as a test to see where I'm starting at and my PH was down at 4.8. Am I remembering correctly didn't D9 mention in a past post say to let it sit for 24 hours to allow time for all the ju ju to mix around and then check it and adjust?

@fliptopbox, thanks for the respnse. GL on the upgrade.
