hidiho!
looks really nice- imho one of the best systems, coco with drippers...
there ´gonna be lot´s of buds.
you use metrop? that´s good food for your plants- the difference between for example ghe, or AH and Metrop or Biogreen concerning taste and smell is really impressive.

grow on bro

Yop,
best wishes to what's comming...

I'm kinda surprised by the way you spread around your plantes... They've got a lot of space in lenght (3 per slab) and no room on the others sides (they are so close in widtwh!!!).
I don't know if you understand what I meant...
It's just not the best way according to me...

 

[bullseye]

vt glad to be back dude
sacapedra i've heard good things about metrop hope there true!
mme oscar i know what you mean dude had 2 get them in there in a hurry so it will have to do. there's more space to the sides of each plant than it seems in the pictures dont wory though dude it'll be a nice show.
thank's for droping by . bullseye

 

[bullseye]

wow what about the watering once a day thread? gonna stick to what worked well b4 4 aday till runoff just when everythings sorted something pops up to get you thinking!

 

[gaiusmarius]

Great stuff bullseye,

so glad to see you start another thread. your last one was awesome. i'm totally interested to see how these metrop nutes do for ya?

were you drip feeding last round? you were right? i wonder if the slabs will work as well as the pots you used last time? anyway great work man

peace

 

[bullseye]

gaius how you keeping dude ,yer i drip fed last run and it turned out well not the yield i'am used to but i think that was a gennetic thing .The bud itself was very nice this time i have big plans for the k2 they have been on the slabs 3 days only run the pump once aday just till they settle in the slabs. gaius how often do you feed when first transplanted ? there starting to move abit today so thats good wont be vegging long prob flip' em at weekend .post some pics when theres more happening .
cheers bully

 

[gaiusmarius]

to be honest i start dripping 3 times a day right after i plant them on the slabs. funnily enough canna have come up with a new recommendation where watering in coco is concerned. they are advising 1 daily watering early on expanded to 2 times later when the plants suck it up more. they reckon 6 to 10% more yield to the old 3 to 5 times a day recommendation. there again the leaflet was showing pics of vegetables and beds of coco, no slabs. still interesting. my watering theory is that if you start dripping when you plant them in the slabs, they adapt their roots to the hydroponic conditions and really start to thrive withing 24 hours. i have done runs with 4 waterings a day as well as runs with up to 7 waterings a day. i've tried it with loads of run off and with less run off. all that didn't seem to make much difference, so now i run the pump 4 times in veg and 3 times in 12/12 each time till a decent amount of water runs off.
