Aquaman goes COCO. (Mother hunt)

Do me a favor so I dont feel bad try 1 first and see how it holds up.

no need to feel bad...i just have a shopping problem...lol

 

[Aqua Man]

the floraflex dripper stakes...they are 1/2 GPH

Oh you prob don't need that much pressure then. Probably a simple pond pump would be better.

Sorry to jump on mate, but could do with picking yours or your fellow Canadians brains,

I've been given this and the bloom version for free to try and noticed the company is from your side of the globe.

Basically the feed chart online is completely different from the one on the label, just wondered if you had come across this or used it before? Even if not do you think I should use it by ppm levels as I'm going to do a side by side just one plant of each of dry vs canna for my own curiosity. I'm currently building my own salts pantry to do a complete move from bottles and paying for water. This is just to scratch an itch for now

Ratios look OK. Higher in ammonium for nitrogen so yeah would use it in soil mainly. Coco iffy and watch for ph drop since that happens slightly with ammonia sources.

Definitely not for hydro.

I was wondering about the soil and coco use. Thanks I may just wait and pass this on to a friend who grows in soil

Did you use a pressure regulator at all or just straight from the pump?

i believe the manifold comes pressure regulated...but again...i could be wrong

Has a built in pressure switch but I didn't change it.

Wow,just found this today and have been reading along! Great minds think alike!
Using condensate for run off,and self priming diaphragm pump for the emitters also!
The only real difference is pump,and manifolds. Using Orbit manifolds non regulated. Pump is set at 45psi and adjustable.
Now if I can just get the grow issues figured out I could fire this thing up!!

 

[Ajsdad]

Also this pump is super quiet!! The condensate pump may be louder!

 

[Ajsdad]

Would love to see your feed schedule if possible along with your grow with the automated system.
Have bought canna nutes to use when I start the new grow in coco.

Thats your setup? Haha awesome!. Its almost the exact same. I like the plumbing for the condensate pump. I was going to do the same which is why you see the glue on the eavestrough but then decided to just run it open ended cause they way it fit.

I'm using rainbird manifolds but they look identical. Are you putting emmiters on yours?

Using megacrop 2 part, calimagic if needed, epsom if needed, massive for the first time and potassium silicate. With RAW microbes added directly to the coco and 1ml of Southern AG fungicide added to the res.

Yes I got a bag from EBay of 100 for like $18 I think. lol exactly like yours,adjustable small sprinkler pattern

Yep,emitters look just like yours. Got a good deal on Amazon!

 

[Ajsdad]

Sorry it was Amazon,not EBay! They are adjustable also.

Thats killer. I seen them on Amazon cheap too but was at home depot and they had the orbit ones 5 for $8 so I snagged em. I originally wanted the rainbird ones but they are quite a bit more. I think 6-8 each or 2 pack.

 

[Aqua Man]

Yeah I think they are the same as orbit let's see how your work. My manifolds are rated for 40psi open flow. Literally almost identical setups bro.

 

[Ajsdad]

I’m still having the same issues we talked about on my grow. Now the same is showing up on the plants in the Veg tent. I just can’t seem to get it figured out!!!
Driving me crazy!!
Harvested the plants in the flower tent,piss poor yields,and never got them sorted either.
Also they were done,and when I mean done I mean by trichromes under scope done,3 weeks early!!!

 

[Ajsdad]

This is the pump I got.

Ummm does that have a bypass built in?

 

[Ajsdad]

Not that I know of? But it’s got a pressure cut off switch to adjust what you want. I figure it’s gonna run maybe 10-20 seconds at a time so should be good.
