8s, how did you do this?
That's like nurture up a cow in a chicken den!!

:laughing: i've been thinking that it is more like trying to pour water into a funnel through the small end


they were in 100% coco using top feed drain to waste. i used CX nutrients that the grow store gave me for free but the idea came from h3ad's sticky in the coco forums. he was growing big plants in 1 gallon pots with lucas formula and hand watering as i recall, but his explanation of oxygenation and why his method works made me think it would be good for growing in small containers. i automated with one of these timers .........

........ and made sure they were getting fed as much as they needed to be. that timer makes dialing things in and small adjustments simple

gotta give some credit to the guys at CX nutrients too....... seems to me that Regen-A-Root does everything they claim it does and maybe a little more

I recall another member rocking a drip feed to waste, Greenmatter, I believe.
Grew trees like you did, Eighths.

Need to get me a drip system.

Fucking amazing.

What are those timers called please? I've yet to see repeat timers in the UK. Annoyingly.

i don't know what they are called on your side of the pond, but if you google ART-DNe timer over here they can be found in a lot of places. that is probably not gonna help you much since the voltage is different but it might be a good place to start. good luck!

This little cocksucker is a one off, I took no cuttings, and I'm glad
she's an orphan. I'll get a couple grams of decent smoke, meh.

Ambient temps low 90's, lol.

Fuck yeah, that's yield. I don't get that in
my 150w vert box. Well close, anyway.

Kudos.

thanks DC.

my yogurt cup rig sits between 2 1000 watt HPS bulbs that are less than 4 feet apart ........... that extra 1850 watts that they are getting probably has as much or maybe more to do with with the yields as nutes or grow style. they get more than they need and they seem to like it

:biggrin: what we have here is a communication problem.


i run 2 1000 watt HPS in flower so the bulbs are on anyway. the only place that the yogurt cup rig will fit is between the bulbs where i usually stand to do what needs to be done in the room. all that i do for the yogurt cups that is different than the rest of the room is the drip system itself, the lighting and ventilation is running anyway.

but to answer your question ....... no i don't do anything normal! normal people worry me:ying:
