I’m thinkin today is gonna be flippage day…got all the underbelly of the plants cleaned up yesterday…wasn’t as time consuming as I thought…got all 24 plants done in about 4.5 hours…I can see what Star means with MAC1…a lot of intermodal growth even along the main trunk of the plant and all the branches grow pretty close to it…Blue Dream also has a lot of vegging leafy growth but not as tight as the MAC1 and Chiquita Banana is also in that mix…GG4 and DayWrecker were the easiest to clean up…a lot of airy space already on the plants…all the rest I’ll put in the medium trim category…I’ll get some pics up a little later today I’m hopin

I did just a little bit of tweakage on my drippers...a few of the plants were getting a little more juice than I liked...trying to even the score up a little... once they get going in the first part of flower though they will be hungrier than a tick on a teddybear

I forget what your feeding regime consists of?
Let’s see off the top of my head in each 55 gallon barrel filled with tap water:
15 tbsp Hydroponic Research’s Veg+Bloom
9 tbsp epsom salt
165ml microbe life hydroponics vitamins and amino acids
33 ml Mammoth P
120ml cal/mag
25ml each part1&part2 flying skulls Z7
100ml Advanced Nutrients ph down (my tap water is really alkaline)
I have a second pump in the rez for mixing up everything but it also needs a boost from my cordless drill with a paint mixer blade attached for a few minutes to really get it mixed up especially when the water is cold…I’ve got 2 timers set up for each barrel…one timer set to turn on and off for 40 seconds 4 times a day for feed…will need adjustments here when plants eat more…the other timer comes on 10 minutes before each 40 second feed to stir for 5 minutes…cold water line was tapped into at each barrel with a pex line and ball valve to turn on and off water filling the barrels…I usually do this every 7 days and maybe down to 5 when they’re feeding heavy

Is that list for flowering?.

Put a sump pump in your drum.. I use a 1/4 HP Submersible sump Pump at 3000 GPH it does a great job after 8 years of use. When it does fail ill get a 5000gph version .. Sump pumps draw in liquid from the bottom, and they mix nutrients well. Only use it when mixing or it will cause nutrients to heat up. Anyone that moves a lot of water will work.

I’ll have to check that pump out sometime…if it mixes as well as you say it will save me a step…the list is actually my normal feeding in veg and flower except after the fourth week of flower I stop using cal/mag…then of course I cut nutes in half a week before leaching and then flush for two weeks
