Thanks! I'm surprised by it's performance myself. It's always been something I've wanted to build, collected the parts over time when I saw them.
Got the biggest pump I could fit on the PVC going 24/7. 3rd time using it. Have yet to try anything but ph 5.8 water yet.
nice progress bro, roots look so healthy and promise good!!

hey man i second that about the cloner roots. they are very healthy i have tried soo many times to get mine to work properly. you say you feed them plain water? well either way i'm excited to see where these ladies end up. i'm subscribed..also letting coco dry raises your nutrient ppm's really high really fast. just thought i'd mention for i have had some tears shed for this mistake.

The pumps 1100litre per hr(290gph). I ph the plain water to 5.8.
My apologies for the lack of updates. Lost my camera charger for awhile.
I think we are on week 5/6 with the Coco. It's been cold here lately which is slowing things down a little. Will definatly give this strain more heavy nutrient doses in future. Taking it really easy and probably a little too easy with the nutrients but I'd rather have them underfed than burnt the first time through.
The NFT is coming along nicely. On week 3. Still having a similar problem with the different phenos having different feeding requirements with the one nutrient solution but doing my best to keep them all relatively happy.
Its nice to see things developing Kiwi. They're looking good. How many BW ladies are you flowering atm again?

all is looking well mate. i know urve done a few nft grows but how is the coco fairing up in terms of use, feeding, maintenance & ease? thinking about switching myself

IMO the coco is more work than the NFT in every aspect but the results are looking great. I guess it's about what works for you personally.I went for it because from what I've seen it's a great medium when males & phenotype variation is factor. I've also read some interesting flavors can be achieved using coco.
I plan to pick my favorite BW pheno after smoking both the hydro & coco editions. Then grow that pheno out in NFT.

First south indian dominant pheno in coco pulled at 10 weeks.
The cold here recently slowed bud development on this girl but she sugared up nice.

Those look awesome!!

Things are looking great Kiwi. Ive got a few ladies being pulled within two weeks myself. I only found a lone sativa dominant plant out of 8 or so ladies myself.
Did you find any purple ladies? Nearly half of mine have gone purple and my temps dont get much colder than low 70's during lights off.

Can't wait to see how the rest of the girls turn out. I'm simply overwhelmed with good pot at this moment. Looking forward to having room to grow some lavender!
This one looks interesting. The most well balanced sativa dominant pheno but the tallest of them all. It's that well spaced bud structure we prefer for mold resistance.
Starting to purple up in places.
Theres some slight purple tint on the lower branches of the indica dominant's I pulled and looks to be some exciting colours going on with the remaining plants. I'm planning to take them to 12 weeks if I can. This strain definitely goes purple given the right conditions.
Heres the current haul in my drying cupboard.

Yeah mate, those BW look awesome! Lovely colouration too!
The Lavenders will go great in there!
Im running some of the L4's and they'll be quite close to yours so we'll it will be interesting to compare.
Your gonna have A LOT of incredible pot soon, those BW look like they're to die for! Did you keep a mum of each?
