1st hydro canna coco grow

[leadsled]

Nice setup and strains.
a tip for the next pot cleaning: use white vinegar for scrubbing the pots. The salt residue wipes right off.

yep I have many squirt bottles in my arsenal, vinegar is great for hard water and salt buildup

Great to know, I never thought of using vinegar to clean my hydro set up, but way more environmentally friendly, THANKS!!

ow yeah if you have not tried em yet. magic eraser sponges are pretty amazing. My hydro trays are now bright white again.

Dude man, there;s another wonderful tip, thanks!
Ive been using a thing to scrub regular dishes cuz I can twist it around in the inside corners & it gets most shit out of there. You guys are awesome!

Hydro tables

Alright, so I added 15mL CalMag to all of the reservoirs, since some plants clones are looking a little yellow. Im also having to add 5-10 gallons of RO water to all of the reses since so much is evaporating, sometimes a huge duhuey is not a super great thing, it pumps out like 10 gallons a day. All the pH's were around 6.1, without adding any pH up/down :] Yayy, canna is doing it's job! Ppm's are all between 40- 50, im feeding really light b'cuz ive seen some horrible shockage (quarter pound harvested from 2 tables, yiiikes )

I also went to the grow store today to get my pH meters tested/calibrated/looked at since they were seeming a little jumpy. I have a bluelab meter & hanna combo meter. They both were calibrated and whatnot.

Some tips I was told were:
- to take a glass or so of water out of the res to test, since the circulating water often makes pH pens jump around.
- to keep some RO/tap water in the cap of the pen--store it wet.

6 lights in one room, 5 hydro, 1 soil, & 1 1000w HPS of soil in a veg room.
Im using the Botanicare nutrient line for the soil.
Right now im feeding them 3mL/g Pure Blend ProGrow & Liquid Karma, & 5mL/g CalMag pH between 5.9- 6.6

Flower Schedule

7-8mL/gal PbPgrow, LK,
5mL CalMag
Silica Blast 3mL/gal [1xweek]

Days 11-18
2-3mL/g PbPgrow, PbPbloom
5-6mL/g Liquid Karma
5 mL/g CalMag
Silica Blast 3mL/gal [1xweek]

Days 19-41
7mL/g PbPbloom, LK
5mL/g CalMag
3mL/g Silica Blast [1xweek]

Days 42-End
Flush

Also I will flush once every 2 weeks.

Anyone have suggestions/ tweaks for this schedule?
Here is a list of all the other nutrients/bottles of stuff I have around the house:
Botanicare
Guardian MY
CNS17-ripe
Clearex
Aquasheild
Advanced Nutrients
Overdrive
B-52
Nirvana
Bud Candy
Sensizym
Liquid CarboLoad
VHO (foliar spray)

maybe 8ml of the sensizym to day 42 and some bud candy day 1-10 2ml, 11-18 3ml and 19-41 5-7ml. i use clearex also the first week of flush then straight water the rest. :)

oh and cut the silica at week 3-4ish ;)

Thanks winta :] Sounds good to me, I'll go add that into my feeding schedule right now!



**DOES anyone have any idea's on how to make the hydro buds denser (something okay with Canna A&B, all the previous runs done have came out a little airy for my taste, the room gets to 80*F max, Phosphorus makes for denser nugs, right?**

 

[420Gator]

ive heard gravity can dense up the bud quite noticeably but havent tried it yet still have an unused bottle lol. are you running co2? if not your temps could be lower and that may help

Hey Gator, thanks for stopping by! I do not use CO2, and I think my room will be a little colder when I start running the lights 12/12 right now there 18/6 & my a/c is stressed out. Is Gravity a Canna product? Or are you sure its safe to use with the canna line?


My reservoirs are around 72-74*F, im going to start making RO icecubes and strart dropping the res temp to 68* for feeding.

 

[420Gator]

gravity is not a canna product but dont see why it couldnt be used just use a very small amount at first and only on a plant or two. u should upgrade your ac if u can, my second grow was 10 degrees cooler than my first and i noticed a great difference. 80 is probly good for veg tho

 

[Tsunami Rose]

Gator- do you do a foliar feeding with the Gravity? All of my plants run off the same res otherwise..
The temp is at 70 right now, & my veg room is at like 66 lol, go figure I got that shits backwards lol, stoner! & its well, my first run alone & I didnt really learn from a pro, so....
Heres my A/C. its freakin huge, dont really know the btu or whatever of it but its biggest one sears had.

& My only light leak.

 

[420Gator]

it can be used in a foliar spray. ur doing very good on a first grow. thats probly a 24k btu not sure where ur located but theres a good chance youll need to ugrade that in the summer if not sooner

is that a door? try cutting some mylar into a strip and put the black side facing out around the inside of the frame

 

[winta]

gravity is the shit makes your nugs real dense! ive never used it foliar though
