Boleman Foggatronic Convertible Cooler. PLL Aero ScroGG. 48watts.

[Boleman]

Perhaps a newbie sort of question here, but when looking at the root structure and the actual area which is fed by the fogger versus the mass of roots that is growing directly in the bubbling res, what method would you say is causing the overall plant growth?

In a perfect world where we would be testing how well a fogger feeds a plant from start to finish; we would need to extend the res and fogger 4 more feet and let the roots hang without falling into some sort of rez that would feed them directly.

I applaud your grow thus far, and am envious of your work. As a curious newb' with interest in aero and fogging plant feeding methods, I am still looking for a grow where someone is letting the roots hang without coming to rest in a rez.

I'm subscribed and wish you well.

People have been having a lot of troubles with the whole only fog thing. The ph goes out of control and the plants get severly damaged. Feeding with fog is a hard thing to figure out for this wonderful weed. I have been running my nutes half strength to compinsate for the smaller diffusion of water droplets... Plus, I don't have the room to do that. If you figure it out let me know!

Yeah thats pretty neat, I'd like to hear more about the resulting plant and how the seed-halves combined; I guess it would wind up the same way a graft would, only the whole plant, roots and main stem included, is sort of a half and half - not a genetic blend. Worthwhile topic for the Breeders Den.

I agree bumble. I did not get the research info on how the process actually happened, it was in a substrate and not visible until it grew... then I cloned the soil plant for hydro use.

Happy new year!

so, if the screens an inch from the res - the lights are what maybe 3 inches from the tops of the plants

lol - especially when they will grow coral at the bottom of a fishtank

shame about the melkor thing - i kinda wondered

looking pretty kikkass though - i like how you showed the benefits of the FIM

The lights are about 10 inches above the screen. I am going to grow em right up to the light, then fim them again so they don't get taller, just fatter. I am a very firm believer in the power of the correct fim. Thank you for your kind words, Happy new year!

Interesting developments. Will the new grow be pl-l powered?

Please say yes

The distance between the top of the sump and the screen is 1". That's right... one inch. I am trying to make the most of the micro. To be honest with you, I think I will get around 1oz out of this grow, but I am not packing it in like I did with my last one. Sadly, this will be my last grow in the mini fridge. I am donating it to a friend of mine who also has a medical card, so she can do it herself and I am moving to a grow about 3 times the size that is perpetual after this. That way I get enough nuggies to smoke all the time! Yay!

1" Holy sh@t!!! wow man thats tight. Im sorry to ask yet another question but would you say that fiming is required to get the screen that close?

We will miss you here in the micro grow section bro. Hope your friend is an icmagr!! When you make your move leave a link to your new grow. Are you going to keep Mary Purpins for the bigger grow?

 

[#1cheesebuds]

holy moly this grow is looking kick ass. Ill be watching.
also the bush shap they have looks very very nice.

 

[*mistress*]

nice!

No I believe I am going with 2 CMH (compact metal halide) bulbs at the top of 150 watts.

First off.... yes... If you don't fim them when they have 4 sets at about an inch in height... you will never be able to do it! I'm just pushing the limits of the mini fridge a bit.

With regards to the Micro Grow section, I believe my new grow will still be small enough to be considered micro. Its just super micro right now. 10 sq inches is tough but fun.

Thanks lil cheese. It takes a lot of FIMing to get this bushy result. but I have grown outside in soil organically like this for about 15 years, so it is my tried and true method. Keep watching, the fun is just about to start!

 

[Boleman]

Will do. Thank you mistress.

To everyone else a thank you as well. I will be switching them to 12x12 in the next week, so it will be time to look at all the purple nuggies in the process of being made.

Three days before I flip the lights, I will FIM the taller buds, so that they don't grow up into the lighting array. Also, I'm budding them until they are all the way done this time. I have less of a bush this time, but the sicles are longer and I think they are going to be bigger this time.

Thanks for checking out one of my forums. I have my first grow with Mary Purpins and Northern lights is the last link in my sig, and a couple other helpful threads as well. PEACE!

nice!

you must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Boleman again.

 

[Thundurkel]

Nice setup you got bro!

 

[Boleman]

Nice setup you got bro!

Thank you and all others for all your praises, will be flipping next week I think... let me know what you think. Peace

Boleman - One day I wish to have half the knowledge you do That's a sweet setup; I would never have figured one could get plants to grow like this!

Thank you for your respect brother. I tell you what, anyone can get plants like this. I am a strong believer in the Scientific Method. Basically, everything I have been curious about I have done to these plants. Some general knowledge about plant life helps, and not everything you try works, but when it does, it makes all the mistakes worth while. I also learn a lot from watching others do it. Aerohead is basically my mentor when it comes to hydro DWC or Aeroponic growing. I did it with years and years of trial and error on all different kinds of plants...

To give you a weird example, I once injected Train Wreck with milk... it is a technique used in squashes that begats huge fruit. Suprising enough the milk did not kill the plant, it made it very strong and the nuggies were krazy heady.....

Just one example of using your intelegence to try something, and see if it works or not. If it does not, don't try it anymore, move on to another idea promptly. That's my advice, and I'm stickin to it!

 

[disfunktional]

Wha? Inject milk? Is there a specific place that you inject it? lol my kush is a junkie.

Hey Guys/Gals New Pics!

Hey Guys/Gals New Pics!

Ok, so I will explain the pics.

I trimmed all the main water leaves off of the plants. I do this because I believe that the buds do not need them because they have their own smaller water leaves that do not block much light. The larger water leaves block a lot of light and promote I think to mostly stem growth.

The plants have been changed to the transition to flowering nutrient levels, and the lights have been switched to 12-12 now. They will be in transition for one week, at which time the nutrients will be switched to full bloom.

As you can see, they are very strong and healthy, the node seperation is almost full up the main stems, so I should be getting fuller denser nuggies than last round that are 3 inches longer. I do have less heads overall than last grow, but they are longer and more full as well, and I also have one less plant in the system this time.

We should start to see some trichs growing really soon, matter of fact if you look close the leaves already have some. this is the first indication to me that the plant is ready to switch to flowering. In veg state, there are usually not many chrystals on the leaves, once the plant wants to flower, it starts pushing out the spikes of goodness.

And now what you've all been waiting for... the new photo show.
