Aquaman gets dirty

[Aqua Man]

Never even thought about using ro for the humidifier. Im not even running one this time fk it. Think my rh around %50 itll keep rising the bigger them plants get i bet.

Yeah u usually run for about 2 weeks in hydro... looks like 3-4 in dirt then its all dehuey

Hey Aqua , those plants of yours might be suffering at this point from root mass , all dressed up and no where to go....you gotta get them out of those 1 gals quick , in my opinion , I think if they were up potted a week or 2 weeks ago you would see more robust growth , I agree with all of MIM suggestions , it's hard to explain , but root mass in coco and hydro , is different than soil ,

Yeah i agree.

I just wanna push em out of laziness till next week to sex the clones. But if i up pot now especially to 5 gal just to rip half of them out in a week its a bit of work and waste. Its an uncalculated (cause i have no experience) risk at this point. But im gonna find out. I'm sure they will be stunted but im ok with that at this point. I kept having to put off cutting clones.

Yes I get it , I've done it both ways , up potted a crop then sexed and dumped all the work , and I've done what you are now doing , put the grow in a holding pattern , clone , sort things out ......
Then move on , but stalling your plants might .....mmm , maybe handicap them moving forward
Or either way you look at it , might just cost you more time

 

[dire wolf]

Still love my reg seeds though ,

Yeah absolutely. I'm lowering light and gonna go easy on em. If things get bad I will have to up pot asap

They there speaking of regular seeds I have 4 of them in dirt outside and are 7 weeks from sprout now. How long before they show their balls? Or will I have to wait till mid July?

Hey rooke , not sure where you live , where I'm living now , they go outside and show sex in a week or 2 because of my 14 hours of daylight , so depending on your hemisphere I'm guessing North America , you will have to wait till flowering begins I guess , are you in west or east coast , I think if west coast with 14 hours you should see sex very soon as the plants are fully mature at 7 weeks .....

Yea it's that juggling act

Thanks so much! I was kinda hoping it would be soon as I have up pot one more time somewhere around the 24 th and hopefully not have to do any males I live near Kingston Ontario. We’ve had pretty cool nights recently seems to have slowed them down somewhat. Thanks again!

FWIW... I put my clones/seedlings directly into their forever homes. Saves so much time and effort.
Just water/feed with a pump sprayer on full stream. This keeps the cube/roots wet and the outer soil dry.
After a couple weeks of that, I hammer them and they boost. Follow with a prune and clone, then flip.
With 2 rooms, close to 5 gardens a year is achievable. It's a tall order, but doable if everything falls into place.

lol I use the same RO unit. Only for my humidifier now, my tap is fine for hydro. Ranges from 120-130ppm usually.

If I use RO in my humidifier the sucker won't run. I have to have a ppm of over 40. So I recover the condensation drip from my in-room a/c unit at about 3 gallons a day; it is 46 ppm and it works just fine for the humidifier and for mixing nutes.

Mfg. says something about needing a certain amount of something or other "in solution" to provide the conductivity needed by the "do-dad" that generates the cool steam. Sorry for the technical gobbly-gook but the conversation was almost two years ago, and i have slept and smoked a few since then. The label on the box even made mention of it.

Ok it's working and they are coming back around. Watered again today and the lower airflow and lighting seem to help. I'm just gonna K.I.S.S. and let em do there thing.
