blaze, do you pretty much give em all the same amount of water at every watering? I'm finding all but one of my plants is drinking 38oz every other day. I'm just seeing if you'd suggest automating the watering? Look nice man, wish I would have vegged mine longer. :\

When I was running multiple strains I was giving each strain different ammounts every watering, Depending on the strain. Now its easy they all drink about evenly, Havent had one be moist while others were dry they all dry out and as of right now every 3 days I water.

But to answer the question, I will not water moist soil, If one plant is still moist it will be watered at a later date. I wont just give it some water too to prevent it from drying before the others. It's very important to properly water plants, So if 1 or more plants arent drinking as much and are still moist when you water the rest, Well water the ones that need it and come back to the others when they need it.

Yea I understand the importance of properly watering them. Right now it's just one of them that is basically getting it every other watering, so not that big a deal. My space is 6.5' by 7' and 8' tall. I'm using 7x5 right now with 2k and 24 bags, thats 4 rows of 6. I wanted to put the lamps on movers and add two more rows. This would make walking in there to water them impossible, but would increase my yields and reduce my labor at the same time.

I may opt for bigger containers, less numbers, and a little more veg time? Still thinking it out..

Looks good man, Im sure you will figure out whats best in your situation, You obviously know how the mix works now. And as you go along you will get the plant count right and space worked out and have one effecient garden. Until next time be safe and take care!
 
Wow Blaze. I finally made it through this thread, holy smokes you've got things locked down.

I built my own DWC set-up following your tut on the topic, now I'm going soil next grow, simply because you killed it dude. Such an inspiration.

I wonder, is this how you maintain a quick harvest? You clone your favorite girls and have them rooted in cups by the time your main crop harvests, then you just switch the cups for 3 gal bags and they take off? That's what I'm looking to do, but this isn't my thread.

Great grow BLAZE!

What I do for the perpetual cycle is I start some babies and get them vegging, 14 days before flipping to flower I get more clones rooting, Then by the time the clones are rooted the others are switched to flower, The rooted clones go into cups for pre veg for 10 days. Then into the 3 gal bags for 15-20 more days by the time the 1st round is at day 30 flower round #2 is in the bags pre vegged and ready to go in. after that you simply keep repeating these steps and you will pull a crop every month.

If you don't mind me asking Blaze, what is your final yeild using this method?

The reason I ask is because a friend has a small grow space and I think your set up would work perfectly for him as he too wants a perpetual garden. He was thinking of using two 1000 watt HPS each on their own light rail so that light coverage could accomadate an 8 foot by 8 foot garden. Do you think vegging the plants for a month and then budding them (filling in all the available space - obviously) could pull off three to four pounds, taking into consideration he knows what he is doing in terms of growing in a three month period? I know the question is hard to answer without other variables, that is why I would like to know how much you produce. Your opinion is highly regarded as I have been watching your grows for a while now.

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

Edit: Being the lazy ass that I am I didn't read the whole thread! Guess what, I read the whole thread finally and now you don't have to answer my above questions. I just should have read it all to begin with, so sorry for asking questions you have answered numerous times throughout.

One question I don't think that was asked that I am wondering is; do you think the light rails made a big difference in final yeild? What do you think the difference would have been just using two stationary 1000's?

Anyways, thanks for the great read! I must say this is one of the best threads I have read here at IC. Ton's of great info!

I believe from experience and trials, That using a light rail will increase the overall footprint of the light, Which will allow higher plant numbers per 1k light which in turn = much higher end yields. I think rails are best method to getting the most out of your lights!

This current round #5 which is being vegged under the 2 1k's on rails is going to produce a very high number come harvest, So far the best was just short of 3 lbs but take in to account thats keeping 2 rounds in the room at once and biggest round being 20 plants. On the current run I have 30 plants and will be able to see about where it maxes out at. Im sure on this run 4-5lbs is easily possible. Wont be long now and we will find out!

Do this one time, Do a crop under a single 1k light and then also under a 1k on a light mover, Compare the final results, Use the same spacing ect per plant just double the plant number on the light rail, Simply cause it has a much larger footprint for canopy! I bet you will be suprised at the outcome...

Thanks for your input on light rails. It's great to here from someone with so much experience using them. I usually grow vertical without shrouds and get good yeilds, but I think next time around I am going to do it horizontally with 4 light rails and 4 - 1000 watt HPS. Do you have any suggestions for using four light rails or anything I should know about before trying this?

Thanks in advance - this whole thread has been great!

Blood and Bone Meal with Tap Water

Blood and Bone Meal with Tap Water

hi blaze

looked through your work just now and your simple method
is awesome. i have a few questions.

first, the blood and bone meal. i didn't see any mention of
whether you let the mixture cook for a while after adding the meals. if so, how long did u let it sit?

secondly, i would like your personal clarification on something. i understand that the point of organics is to maintain a culture inside the medium that continually breaks down the food for plant use. does that mean
if at any point of growing a plant, the microherd dies, does this mean that the remaining meals are useless to the plant?

for example: take your mix. transplant clone. 2 weeks later, you water with tap containing chloramine. no more microherd.

OR are the meals (the MG ones that you use) ready for immediate use to the plant?

(i'm guessing you figured out by now that i have a municipal chloramine in tap problem.)

i would like a definitive once and for all answer on this.
thanks.
