Thanks for climbing to new heights to get the shot
You thinking 3+lbs?
it's real hard to tell because this won't be turned into trimmed bud. but if it were i would say so, maybe. these buds are dense.
i think he's been in antarctica, or perhaps the sahara or the middle of the south pacific. maybe prison. or the nut house. held captive by a disenchanted Inuit tribe who made him perform unnatural sex acts with seals and walrus, whichever he preferred, for their amusement.
anyway, wherever it was, there must not have been any electronic services like cell phones or internet.
no carrier pigeons, semaphores, telegraph, or smoke signals for that matter.
because why else would he disappear for several years without a word leaving folks wondering if he were alive or dead. not that they give a shit! just idle curiosity.

Hey Delta
How goes the second career? Things are kind of blah here at the nursing home. You shot any new Geri Porn lately?

I found last night that some roots are growing into the bottom buckets. It didn't appear to be through the tailpiece, it appeared to be around the tailpiece. I placed a piece of screen over the top of a mound of growstone (tailpiece also filled with growstone), over the top of the tail piece in the bottom of the bucket, but maybe I need to glue the tailpiece in order to prevent this from happening?
I haven't glued anything..I tried the screen over the top (in the bottom of the bucket before tail) either way I have had roots. Not on them all so I tried lightly packing the perlite in the tail and still roots. So I firmly packed them in and it seems to be better but what I really noticed is the veg time. For me if I veg for only 4-6 weeks I will not get any roots in bottom bucket. Anything over that 6 week mark I get roots. Hope that helps a little.
Next I am going to change the feeding time to more often and more at each time. So the plant doesn't go looking for water. Just a thought...

I lifted the buckets last night, in order to remove the roots growing down there, turns out they were growing through AND around the tailpiece. Not too much. I don't recall this happening back in my first PPK garden, which would have been something like 80% coco / 20% chunky perlite with the same mix in the tailpiece. Maybe I too wasn't pulsing often enough in veg / stretch.
so, under what other alias do i know you by?
a few roots won't hurt. the idea is to minimize root immersion in the solution to minimize o2 demand on it.
if there is no or little o2 demand on the solution it will stay naturally saturated (atmospheric partial pressures) to whatever dissolved o2 levels are possible at your altitude and temperatures.

wow!
I left my seedlings in the solo cup seed starter for way too long and the roots were looking like that, thick, but not as nearly as long.

Thank you for the very detailed walk through. I can see putting this to use at some point.

D9, I think you are familiar with the "roughneck" brand of storage totes. Wider than they are tall. If one were to use the 3 gallon as a top container and the 10 gallon as a bottom container, would you recommend a larger tailpiece than the traditional sink model, 6" x 1.5"?
yep, anything over 2 gals should have a 2" up to about 5 gals. then a 3" to about 10 gals. my friends growing outdoors in 20 gals are using 4" tailpieces.

thank you!
i have not been able to find any results of testing of buds treated with green cleaner.do you have any info on it?the manufacturer says can be used in flower and am curious.
that's probably because it doesn't show up on test. or they are not testing for it.
Ever since Delta advised me to blow out the return lines with a pump I haven't had a flood since. Thanks again for the advice Delta!! PPK is so kick ass and plants are thriving, but I can't get my PH to go under 6.3. I'm using Plagron A&B and everything has been pretty stable(2.0 EC and 6.3 PH) for the last four days. Volume tank is 1.4 EC and 5.5 PH. I was inputting a lower EC into the volume tank because I never have fed 2.0 EC(coco grower) before and thought that was high. Plants are super green and there are no tip burns. Any advice on how to get my PH down?
does anyone else get particles in the solution in the main tanks?in the last two weeks both my flower and veg float valves have clogged.the two 40 gallon barrels in my flower were just drained and they have it already 3 weeks later.i am using the water from my dehumidifier in the flower room and well water in the veg room.same problem in both.i am using jacks hydro and cal nit and am mixing jacks first then the cal .the water from dehumidifier tests to 5.4 ph and just above 0 conductivity.my well water tests to 0.6 e.c around 310ppm and ph of 7.5.i use ph down in veg to get water around 5.8.everything has been growing nice but i leave the grow for up to a week at a time and if the solution isnt getting refilled then as the level in the system goes down my ph and ec go up causing some leaf yellowing.all from the float valve clogging.has anyone used a water filter between the res and the float res?
