[Dr. D]

Hey 1977m the meter willl give u a straight reading nothing to work out take alook at the chart that Sleepy has put up, thanks Sleepy, it shows u the differences in ppm readings as they vary between Europe and the US...also the truncheon they sell here in UK has both europe and US ppm's on it i presume it is the same one that they sell in the USA....peace

me again..is it possible to have driping sistem in the flowering stage or is necessary to flood?

 

[Dr. D]

Hey Mary glad u like the info
Thanks BigToke
Hey 1977m no need to flood or have a dripper but i think BigTokes bio buckets run on a recirculating system
i took a look at her last night and she is lookin sweet




i trimmed the lower branches and took some leaves off the let the light thru, shes stopped stretching now and is flowering nicely smelling extremely citrusy wen rubbed up against...iv been adding Canna-zym and the cf is at 12 now and they are gettin Top Max bloom stim............

Hy Doc...tnx for all the help...u to Sleepy..well,i have this..

can i use this sistem for flowering? i make it so it drain away whats toomuch...just not sure about flovering..is driping method enough?

 

[Dr. D]

hey 1977 how exactly does ur system work is it a dripper?

 

[1977m]

its pump from the tank through the sistem of vinil pipes on the dripers and back to the tank every 3h on 5 min

 

[1977m]

forget to tell...the same princip as in the movie of greg green"i grow cronic"...for grow stage..but i having problems with equipment for flowering stage(nowhere to find or expensive)..in the movie was on flood method...

 

[Dr. D]

i think if u got some pots that wud fit into that tray maybe six or eight and filled the pots with clay balls or prefered medium and have to drippers going into them and out the bottom i think that wud be alot more efficient and fine for flowering at the moment ur roots really have no where to go

 

[1977m]

tnx..i was thinking about 4 plants in the tray(60x40cm)...so no bother with flooding,just dripers...this is my 1. try..but all male..:-(...well..we learn on mistakes

tnx again

 

[Dr. D]

yeh four pots wud give u a good root space shud work well...good luck

 

[mosess187]

hey!

hey!

still hanging in there dr.d.......well i will be harvesting in a week for my very first time and now i'm counting the days so wish me well.........next grow bio-buckets for me.....peace!

 

[Sleepy]

wow, that looks like a BORG invention...



are those the ...drippers, i can't remember the name...damn! what are they called, woodpeckers, ...

are they adjustable?

 

[1977m]

no...they are not...just by a timer(how long u left them runing)...no problems with them(dripers)...(for now)..only cleaning every 2weeks..simple
