This is gonna be my little playground here at ICmag, looking forward to meeting more of the nice growers here. Normaly im more a chat kinda guy, but I thourt id better make a grow diarie of somekind.
I called my thread razzmatazz because I sometimes have a way to get involved with so many projects, that even I can't find head and tail in em anymore. Never the less it prety much turn out prety good most of the times, so who cares about a bit of confussion - Just relax and smoke another one.
Some ppl might know me, most probably don't have a clue. What ever im looking forward to meet all of ya, get some new input and maybe make new friends. Thats always a blast!
I will mainly follow my playground here, but I there will be other input from other projects and grow's im involved with.
The playground is where I do test growing, fun stuff and im always making changes in it. The past few years there havent been 2 grow's in the "same" setup, then I have made some modifications to the setup or build a new one.
I started with playing around with making a "new" kinda aeroponic grow style, after I have been growing true aeroponic for years I was sick of the Aeroponic growers worst nightmair. Pump failures is a fucking bitch, they acure once in a while and can easy cost a crop if your not in your room everyday.
The Noise from the pumps and misters, made me deside it was not safe to run aeroponic in the room. My lanlord use the apartment next to my growroom for storage and he's in and out there several times a week, so now im playing with NFT and DWC.
I got a Aeroflow28 from a mate for 250 € or soething, I can't remeber but it was way less then ½ price the hydro store charge. So I desided to get my first "pre made" grow setup, it was anyway down in a price where I could not really build one myself cheaper. (so I thourt atleast)
The first run, in my aeroflow, I was so eksited I did not care to wait till the curent harvest where done. So I just placed the setup next to the old bubbler, filled it with clones and straight into flower. If I had 8 tubes or had placed em closer to each other it would have been a great SOG grow, but as it stand there it's to much space between the plants. So they did not fill out the space, with the result of 0.5 gram per Watt. But Super dank and fucking nice single cola plants, so I had enough weed to keep me coverd and I don't care that much about yeald in this room.
5 weeks in flower
The nice result from Wallyducks Pine O seeds
Then I got a old "getto" setup I made for a friend some time ago, it was put together from scraps and costed me in total 180 € to build. Incl Pump, feeding line and fittings fittings, my res is just my old bubbler.
I removed the misterd, the water spraying on the tubes and the high preasure pump just makes to much noise. But then it's a NFT setup like the Aeroflow, the only thing sofar I need to change next time is a puddle of water in the bottom of the tubes. So I will need to silicone glue ½ a "disc" at the end of the tubes making a dam, that will rais the water levels and then the tubes should be painted white or coverd with panda film.
I named this setup Gettoflow!
Placed it next to the Aeroflow28 as good as I could, the aeroflow is a bit lower and got a smaller res. So first i filled the aeroflow and about a week later I placed 28 clones in the gettoflow, it can hold 40 planst but as the light is hanging it would not cover all the 40 plants. There are only 28 in the aeroflow and to be able to make it just a little bit fair, I gave the setups the same amount of plants and light.
When the Pine O's in the aeroflow was big enought, they where topped as I needed atleast 80 good clones in a week or so. That means the aeroflow had a little less then 3 weeks veg and the Gettoflow for 7-10 days veg, they have been flowering 8 days now and just started the 9th. day as the ligths just lit up as im writing this.
Switch to flower June 14
I have mainly got Pine O clones in the room, the gettoflow it filled with Pine O and the aeroflow's to tubes on the right is Afghani #1. They are way behind the Sat/indi mixed Pine O's, but they shoudl still make some nice Afghani weed and im almost out of it.
There are 2000 Watt burning, there are a 600 + 400 Watt in each lamp set. My light mover broke down, so I need a new one. But they are stupid ekspensive, most don't even sell em with out the slider and all that crap I already got.
Curent flower nutrients in use: GH Bloom 3 combo + mg
pH down : Phosphoric Acid (H2PO4)
Veg Nutrients:Local NPK 14-3-23 Salts + micro nutrient I mix myself, it's realy good for mothers/veg and it's cheap as hell. 16 € for 10 L concentrated nutrients, enogh for 2000 L water. Just remeber to change res once in a while, the K kinda build up otherwise but at that price who gives a damn about res changes.
Aeroflow28:
pH: 6.4
Ecc 3000-3400
Gettoflow
pH: 5.9
Ecc 2800-3000
My Ecc meter was off calibration, so I kinda gave em alot of nutrients last time, im topping res everyday and keeping a close eye on em so they don't burn. Pine O is anyway a heavy feeder, im more worryed about the afghani's as they are so small.
Keep it green
