Subbed..for both shows brutha. You feeding these the dyna grow formula as well? Any changes with it being a flood instead of DTW?

Thanks for the hard work.. I feel off the Led band wagon about 5 years ago after building a couple 2k fixtures. They worked same if not better then HID with less heat and less electric but the cost for the units were to great to invest into an entire commercial grow. But things are a change...in...

Here is a link to a few pics in my album... So I dont jungle up the thread.

Merit can work but I would highly suggest roots pack og biowar and live predatory insects. You cannot beat predatory insects for prevention and complete defeat of any pest. It is pretty cool to be able to command your own army of insects and watch them battle it out too. Nothing like ordering predator mites and then watching all the poor enemies be ripped apart and carried off.

EDIT: So it seems people want to know my source for predator insects:

These are the real deal scientists; accept no less. They have a directory to all pests choose your target pest and pick your army. It is expensive sometimes depending on the predator, but if you want 100% comfort and safety this is priceless. Screw pesticides and wondering.

Step 1: Turn the device on... :laughing:

I can't tell you the amount of times I've realized things like this half way through a project.

Unfortunately Doesn't matter if there good bugs. When we have it tested and they find bugs they wont take it. The people doing the testing cant determine what good bugs look like so its rejected. Personal grows no problem.

If you mean on the buds themselves you get bugs that don't go on the buds (you can roder stuff just says low or in root ball) if they really make you chuck plants for bug that's are else where on the plant that is some retarded shit and I would never run soil period because there are always beneficial mites and other things no matter what brand your buying.

good dispensary's will inspect all incoming flowers under the microscope. If they find bugs/mites/mold they will reject it. I run soil indoor never have insect issues. Very rare to find any outdoor run in anything other than soil.

Yeah then you should be just fine then cuz you don't order bugs that go on the bud and aphids are a root thing.

One week into flowering~ I decided to put the cubes into pot with a bit of rockwool mini nuggets on the bottom, so the roots are not all exposed to the light...

They are super healthy, they really like the light. Will trellis them here soon...

They were being fed via flood and drain, now its hand water...

Grow is looking great! Only problem is, I need to find something other than their site to check daily - I just can't wait to see these on the market! Applying here and now to be Canadian sales rep. :groupwave:

If I may make a suggestion. I have found it extremely beneficial to literally fill the tray with the grow cube rockwool. The small chunks, called grow cubes/grow chunks. And sink either squares or in your case the pots into it. I like to cover the entire table with panda plastic white side up. Then cut holes the size of the pots in the plastic. And sink them in. The roots will literally fill the table. And the chunks create pockets of air everywhere. It even allows for the flood intervals to be spaced further apart. Thus allows for the ability to see how your plants are using what you are feeding them. The plants absolutely love this technique, and you will to. If you trust me that is!
