Hi dots
Currently, I use 1gl pots for mothers and flowering plants, but for plants of the size of yours in bloom, maybe you need something bigger to avoid having to water several times a day, maybe 3 gals? It depends a bit on your coco quality and the VPD of your growing area. for the next flowering I want to install automatic irrigation, just watering the keepers and seedlings is time consuming.
Good looking out cheers Mike.
I thought you already had some irrigation over there at some stage.. I may be tripping.
-ya man the humidity and temps here are forever changing.. there seems no method to the madness, but coco can be fairly easy going with a big enough root system at least.
-I'm just about to install a hydro tray and plumb in a drain, after that I will figure auto-water system too.. lots of things to figure like do i need drip-clean

Hello dots! Sorry for not having answered you before, my computer was broken and I'm not a big fan of phones.
You remember well, I had automatic irrigation working. Some time ago I disassembled it, it was only for 3 plants +-.

I am a reader of your threads, I am up to date with them, very good work.
I've also been working in the garden, well... I'm, I'm not done yet but it's already taking shape (photos in a few days)
As I already said, I've been without a computer for a while, and without green to smoke... so I haven't felt like updating the thread, sorry for that.
But back "to work" The garden is taking shape, but I'm still not satisfied with the current setup.
Im waiting to arrive some pvc fits 1" 4-way and a trellis netting to make the SCROG (1.6m * 2 m) with 15 mrnice Critical mass. The plants are already huge, but finishing reveg ... they were a few days at 12/ 12 to sex (huge mistake, no more), and the plants have not recovered so far... I plan to move to flowering on Wednesday or Thursday.
Growing area
8 more Madmad`s OHaze popping
OHaze rooting
And my current precious, 25 Guerrero highland, from the farmer directly, not bagseed. Supposed the famous "caca de chango" / "monkey poop"

I'm not happy with my recents crops, since I unmounted the sealed room, minisplit, etc... but looks like I'm surfing the kinks better this time, including the ones that are my fault 
1-My previous nutrients left a perfect ph 5.9, the new formulation 6.4... there have been 3 irrigations at 6.4 and the plants have suffered.
2-With the heat and humidity of the spring, the plants have suffered another attack of fungus gnat a few days before flowering begins. Im cleaning a 6" fan for intractor. It will work together with another 6" extractor, so no heat. The fungus gnat problem is already fixed too. Im working in a IPM.
3-Im out of trichodermas and mycorrhizae since a few weeks ago, and at the moment I don't know a quality distributor around. Solution: a small dose of poolshock in the tanks, work like a charm.
This last month Ive been applying foliar, to all plants, flowering and growth, an organic homemade fertilizer. Contains sea fish, piloncillo (solid molasses), Aloe Vera, cinnamon, kelp and 10 aspirin. I really like the result, the plants are visibly happier after every dosis.
I plan to make this same fertilizer again, but also adding: goat poop, garlic, ginger and alfalfa
A couple of weeks ago I was able to harvest some mature seeds from my destroyer STS crosses, and they are already popping. I have 3 d2/d3 * Copper Canyon (Destroyer Chi since now) and 3 d2/d3 * super silver haze #4 in water. So growing for the next round:
3 destroyer chi
3 destroyer * ssh4 and
9cbd from seeds.
Cuttings:
4 super silver haze #4 (i love this plant so much !)
1 big sur holy weed
1 The doors
1 Copper Canyon #10
7 Space Monkey (again the 7 females)
I would like to pop some d2/d3 * Lilly too... but I don't have space

Hey bro.. I sometimes drift up towards 6.4pH maybe its not a good idea..?I'm not happy with my recents crops, since I unmounted the sealed room, minisplit, etc... but looks like I'm surfing the kinks better this time, including the ones that are my fault

Whats the IPM that booted the gnats?
And how often are you applying foliar?
I was looking up solution for rez slime as you mentioned adding trichoderma harzanium to the rez
Using Rootshield to combat rez slime
Took me a while to figure out why my roots have been lacking lately. I am starting to realize I have a brown slime (cyanobacteria?) problem. No matter what I do my white roots turn brown which leads to root rot. I am in coco. My question is, will rootshield (trichoderma harzianum) do anything...

So the poolshock means you'll have no bennies in the root zone aka sterile..?
Mine had no drift, one irrigation at 5.9, the next at 6.4, In the photos you can see that the new leaves are fine, but the old ones have a little of golden serration. but I'm not sure it was just the ph, at the same time the heat arrived, the gnats ...yes, for now, I don't have a quality supplier and it's very hot, the roots were bitten by the gnats... I'll go back to the bennis when I can buy, the plants prefer it.
Ph 5.9 +-
Ec 1.45 +-

Mexicans name the strains totally different from how they are known outside the country. Caca de chango, Verde limon, pelirroja, cola de borrego, etc. I'm almost sure that "Caca de Chango" is what was renamed acapulco gold in the USA, at least in part.like that name,, caca de chango. jejeje
Not working yet, i still need to order some parts.
As alwais, nice to see you around Maha ! This year is going to be my Mexican year. Thanks to some good friends, I have several landraces from all over the republic waiting their turn. I hope you enjoy the show.acapulco gold was supposed to be some fine smoke back in the days... so let see how it is today. another reason why to follow this thread. keep it up Mike
I have popping 50 Big sur holy weed for the next round, pheno hunt run. I love the purple in the seed's shell and seedlings.
