Hey what's up everybody

I was gone wait until everything was setup to start this thread but I got some girls goin already So let's fire it up!

Here's the rundown
-the Attic
-the winning misty pheno from my last grow
-3200 watts, 2 1k's and 3 400's
-2- 4x4 flood tables on ebb and flow
-3- 2x3 flood tables on a recirculating drip system
-45 total 6 inch pots in the 2x3's
-49 6 inch pots in each 4x4
-The coco is a 50/50 mix of the GH mixed brick from the last grow and some new profit disk's
-I'm running a seprate rez for each table so I can check some of the different nutrient options available to me.
-Staggered timing and my goal is 2 lb's every 20 days(this might be a little high)

I had some medical problems and was away from my grow and lost some clones and the others took a beating. So right now I have 30 plants in the 2x3's and 15 clones that are about 10 days behind that are going in soon.



-Right now the plants in there are on day 8 of veg
-24 hours lights on
-Being fed every 6 hours
- 10ml/gallon of IONIC Grow for COCO
- 5ml/gallon of Hygrozyme
- 1ml/gallon of Floralicious Grow
- 5ml/gallon Natrol
- 1.2 EC total



Here's the clones getting ready to finish the 2x3's and go in to on one of the 4x4's in 24 or so day's



Here's the other side of the room that is still being setup



My new and improved veg area-that should be light tight this time


And At the bottom of the step's where I'm keeping the reserviors.


Phew!!! alright that's all I can think of right now.
All are welcome and All suggestions are more then welcome
Allright, Dalton

Uh Oh! Look who's big ballin' This is gonna be great

How big are your reservoirs?

Im guessin' the 1k are gonna be placed over the 4x4s?

 

[Neptune]

DAMN, beat me to the first seat I/S!

I'll be watching man!

 

[Guest]

Coco Drip Sog 3200w OMG... Im droolin' all over my keyboard

 

[Jack Crevalle]

Lookin' nice and uniform congrats. Are you in Sri Lanka?

 

[Dalton]

Hey what's up guys. It's good to see others as excited about this as I am

Neptune- I have read all of your threads and it's a pleasure to have you here.

IndicaSativa- My Man I had a feeling you would be here first.
Yup the 1k's are going over the 4x4's and and I have one 20 gallon and 2-25 gallon
rez's because that's all I can fit.

Jack Crevalle. Thanks man and no I'm not in sri lanka but I bet it's much nicer then here.

 

[T.doT.Toker]

Why is sri lankan in the name?? Its a very nice set up man. I like the way this is going

 

[Guest]

and and I have one 20 gallon and 2-25 gallon
rez's because that's all I can fit.

Do you get much pH flux with the 25 gal reservoirs?

 

[-VT-]

Beautiful setup Dalton!! With all that light....should be a nice, dense canopy full of buds soon...

good luck!

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

Ahhh man i got to follow this, looks tight bro

 

[bonecarver_OG]

this is going to get very interesting...

 

[Guest]

can't wait to see this one, good luck dalton!

 

[gaiusmarius]

nice one Dalton,

let me get setled, where's the bong?

can't wait to see how it goes, looking real good so far.

 

[NPK]

Man, you did a major overhaul here! Looking great, Dalton. Automating will buy back some time with the girlfriend, too.

What strain are you running this time?

 

[Dalton]

Hey what's up everybody. I'll get right to it
Day 10 Veg


the 2 1k's are in!


I even Got em on switches.


I/S- I not quite sure yet about the reservoirs. I am only using one right now it's the 20 gallon and my PH has been going buzzerk but the wierd thing was my ec was rock solid. It turned out to be the Gnatrol. So I flushed the rez and now it seems to be solid but well see in a couple day's.

ON A RELATED NOTE: THE GNAT'S ARE FINALLY GONE

T.doT.Toker- The thread title is a coco reference. I didn't want to do another coco pun and I liked the way that rolled of the tongue. Thanks for checking out the grow things should start jumping off real soon

VT- Always hooking me up with K+ and the good vibes. I allways feel bad cause I got spread it around to Give it to VT again. Oh man I forgot to tell ya..... only 2 seeds spotted in a whole month from the last crop. We still got a ways to go But It looks like I got real lucky. This time I went nuts with the panda film. NO MORE NUTS FOR ME

CheifsmokingBud- It's an honor to have a member of the slap a hoe tribe here. I got mad reperations on the way

bonecarver_OG Nothing could be more interesting then that dry sleave you did with the purple trich's I'm gonna give it my best

User Name Thanks for checking me out. You got some lovely chronic.

gaiusmarius Without you this wouldn't possible. Your my man behind the curtain, lol. About the money I save not buying weed anymore, the ansewer is alot but I am also dishing out alot to setup. but after I'm done everything it's just gonna be nutes and bills wich is gonna be real nice. And I'm never buying weed again for the rest of my life. The COCO just makes it so f#cking smooth. When do you think I should flip em?

NPK Thanks alot man! Yeah I'm be gonna catching more time w/ my girl and that's gonna be nice. Did you ever get your dprippers up and runnin?

Allright So One last thing I have come up with the nutrients to test and The first table the one that's going now is going to be the IONIC for COCO. VEG/BLOOM and I'm going to do my best to document my feeding.
And the second Table is going to be the House and Garden COCO's A/B.
God dam that was alot

 

[NPK]

I like the switches!

Yeah, I finally finished automating my flowering room last week. I have six air-cooled 600-watters over two tables: four over a 9' table (a 6x3 piped to a 3x3) and two over a 6x3. Each table has a 40-gallon reservoir. Except for the lights, which are connected to an Intermatic, all the stuff is automated with a bunch of digital timers because I couldn't afford to shell out an extra $700-800 for a controller, on top of all the other new stuff...though I'm intrigued with GrowTronix automation software.

I've had a little screwup here and there but that's part and parcel of getting the bugs worked out. Despite some burned leaf tips, the plants are responding well. And I LOVE not having to hand-water 40+ plants every day.

 

[T.doT.Toker]

Oh because i am sri lankan and thought i finally met a sri lankan grower... oh well maybe one day.

 

[Dalton]

A little update..
the first set of plants are staring 12/12 today



The clones for the next table are starting to show roots already and looking good so It may be a little early but I'm anxious to start firing up the 1k's



It sounds like you got an awesome setup NPK. I'm using the digital timers too. There just such a price differnce between the timers and the controller.
Who needs it. But the growtronix does sound awesome. As long as the digital timers aren't running the lights, I don't see a problem. I used to have my lights on those little timers up until 2 weeks ago when one melted and burned, It scared the shit out of me. So I seriously revamped my whole electrical situation for safety.

Ttoker, when I saw your question. I thought to myself "wow I wonder if anyone is growing in sri lanka". It's good to see someone is. If there's one, then there's probably two. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Allright The ionic is doing me well, i have upped the nutes a little bit.
15ml/gallon IONIC GROW for coco
2ml/gallon Floralicous Grow
5ml/hygrozyme
total EC 1.4

I still have these purple streaks running up my stems, I know this can be a genetic thing. But I have seen this go away on this strain when I was running DWC and had the bugs worked out. So the IONIC doesn't seem to be doing it. I think it has too much K. It's like 1-1-2.
I'm gonna grab the House and garden COCO A/B for the next table. Hopefully It will do better then the IONIC.

 

[gaiusmarius]

great work Dalton, it's cool that you are testing different coco nutes. how high are you feeding the ionic ec wise? house and garden is supossed to be good stuff too. your veg area is real nice and tidy. same with the flower setup, looks real good.

 

[NPK]

Looks clean Dalton! You're really maximizing your space, too.

Yeah, I relied heavily on the little mechanical timers until recently, too (still have one in my veg space, actually). Now I have three digitals in the flowering room: one controls the fans that air-cool my lights, one controls the pump timers, and one controls my CO2 generator. The only component that isn't tightly controlled is the CO2; I used the specs from GreenAir's site to estimate how long to run the generator for to achieve 1200 PPM, and can only set about six settings on that timer, so I'm sure levels fluctuate more than I'd like. I figure it's still worthwhile though. And for a total cost of about $60 for all three timers, I'm not complaining.
