Hey Casper!!!
Amazing grow man! I just finished reading your entire thread and I have to say that I am very impressed and very inspired by your grow :)
I attempted to send you a PM, but since I am still a newbie I guess I need to get my post count up before I can have a chat with you haha.
Either way, great job so far... and I really look forward to seeing how your awesome grow progresses over the next few weeks.
I hope to be PM'ing you soon. Take care brother :)
lol, caught up with the updates in your thread CA5P3R. Sorry for the lack of comments recently just been insane busy with re organizing some spaces. Sucks that you had a spill, but luckily it wasn't something over like 50 litres lol. I've been there, not fun, funny yeah but not fun.
In regards to the plug adn play aspect i never saw it that way. It's intereting though to see it like that. I have been in some shady places were you wouldn;t want to spend more then 15 minutes in non the less leave the stuff alone. That's the drtaw back with HID's is when they fail it can be catastrophic (i've had a light malfunction, explode, and mercury was all over my set up about 14-15 years ago.) Not fun @ all and this one isn;t funny either. scare the shit outta me. Don;t get me wrong, i still used and still am using HID;s but the ballasts's are safer (digital), the bulbs are safer. everything is safer so not such a concern anymore. If I had to honestly say would i leave a place running LED's rather then a HID's I would definitely say yes though.
Training can be a pain for sure, especially if you gotta get em back into the screen, Iy's the drawback of a scrog, also no rotation can be made. I'm a big fan of getting in there and turning stuff around once a week so that all angles are covered. To each his own though and in my view your doing very well. Keep up the good work and pics.
for a single DWC bucket would a Illuminator UFO 90W would be sufficent?or what are your thoughts?
Super full screen in that tent. Looking good Ca5per. Keep up the work.
Looking good wall to wall. I hope though that the ones closest to the wall won;t mildew up on you. make sure you keep a close eye on that for sure cause moisture can definitely build up there.
In regards to your cupped clones ... I like the fact that you don't user rooters or starter pucks but I would advise against putting them into stryrofoam ... In styrofoam you run the risk of having them (the plants) be poisoned I've had a batch in styrofoam and they tasted a bit odd and grew a bit weird. The best adn what most people use is food grade beer cups. Sturdy, you can poke holes all over to mimic your air pots and it's encourages partying just by the look of the cups lol. Oh I forgot to mention most beer cups can fit about dbl the grow medium as opposed to the styrofoam cups.
i'm heading into week 2 with LEDs.. which day do you think the prebuds start stinking? right now i can squeeze the buds and almost no smell at all
my plants look to be right behind in line with yours in period and structure.
DOH! put my foot in my mouth, or rather a rapid rooter lol. My bad, lol it's been awhile since I've been to the front of the thread. F.Y.I. you could directly put the cut into the cup right after making it instead of using a rooter ... saves on costs and 1 less transplant to do right? Also be aware that transplanting in itself stresses the plant. Vitamins are used to reduce that stress. I recommend Superthrive.
About the cups, in regards to size. come to think of it, smaller is probably better in your circumstances. We keep them for up to 2 months in beer cups and if they aren't in there long for you then yeah i can see how the size of the styrofoam cup would be better, also since they aren't in there for long i'm not sure if they would have time to get contaminated by the styrofoam. I now understand why you use(d) them and I agree that for your need it might be better. We have rows and rows of the beer cups going and sometimes while we wait for the final days of a room to be decontaminated we got 2 batches even in beer cups lol.
looking great tons of tops, deffinately gonna get a scrog going on my next set, seeing how good yours is turning out is giving me the push i need lol
