I’ve been tempted to try a no flush finish before but always chicken out. My nutrient program is about 50% organic so salt build up is never that bad.

Then keep it going. They clearly love it, don’t chicken out be astounded by your results

It’s is undeniable that those 315 cmh grow some amazing flowers! I was sold on them before I went LED, they are very popular here and some very respected people I know swear by them. Those flowers looks amazing, very nice thick colas. You should be very happy with you finished product

Almost there!

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

What are you using for a control to feed those? Can you describe your system? Is the table just sitting on a wooden fram and a catch bucket under for over flow? I’m in the planning stages of setting up an auto watering system and looking for more ideas. Can you grab some photos of your res and pump setup as well as you flood table setup?

 

[4plant]

I’m using a drain to waste style table but I’m recirculating the solution in a 40l tote. Smart pots 2gallon with 50% promix hp and 50% perlite. Feeding twice a day for ten minutes. 2 drip steaks per pot. I’ve had some issues managing ph and ec this run and it’s made me want to go all rockwool next run which I’ll post soon as well.

The extra Bucket is for some seedlings I have in a cabinet next to that room.

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

Is your ph due to water evaporation? So you don’t drain your flood table back to res, sorry it just looked like that, but I see now you have the tote there for space and convenience. Did you make the manifold off the pump yourself?

 

[4plant]

My ph was rising in the res. I think some of my acids were falling out of suspension? I do drain back into the res and recirculate, there is a drain and overflow plug directly above the res. Yes, the manifold is 1/2” tube with a end plug and 4 spaghetti lines tapped into it. I’ve tried to set it all up so if the pump fails or gets stuck on there’s no way of having a flood.

 

[Mr.jiujitsu]

So what’s your run off ph? Have you tried using a temp catch bucket and lchecking ph? I’d be willing to bet that’s the culprit.

What did you use to tap into it?

What did you use to tap into it?

Chopped!

The cabinet is 20”x 20”x 48” and it’s pretty full. Should be a good harvest. The strawberry cough was probly 30% less than the ayahuasca purple but both are super frosty and smell great. I’ll post final numbers in about a week?

 

[Therighthigh]

looking great man! keep us updated

 

[4plant]

Ready for next round. Cleaned an an upgraded hood. Had to retire the bat wing after many years.

 

[4plant]

Final numbers! Ok so the auyhuaska purple yielded 151.9 grams dry and the strawberry cough yielded 78.3grams ( extra dry). I’ll do a smoke report and some closeups in a couple days when I get home but both plants are super frosty and smell fruity as hell.

 

[4plant]

I’m a little disappointed with the strawberry cough yield, not only did I need to baby it through flower but sharing a res with the purple meant I couldnt push the purple harder. I kept clones of both but will proble kill the strawberry. I think if I got 5.5 ounces off one of these at 80%, doing a scrog of 4 of them with full feedings could easily get 12-14 ounces on a single 315.
