DIY UC 9k 8 Plants

[mrenz999]

Flipped on the 20th. Growth rate in 3 days is incredible. And they are
drinking about 20 gallons a day.

I'm doing good, just hooked up the 8in fan to my new room running 2 1k, 1hps 1 mh. going to do a 4x8 ebb n flow table for the first round to get it done quick then upgrade after to a undercurrent setup, just need a chiller and a few other things and ill be set. My other room is 2 1k w/ 5gal dwc plants, I hang my bulbs bare bulb and circle the lights, normally start them next to the 1k mh, then later to the 1k hps then the last few weeks try to move them inbetween both 1k's and i get decent yields per plant. I put 3 plants new plants in every 2 weeks for that room. just pulled down 6oz off a Querkle witch the buds dont get huge its just get lots of budsites, i really like this weed though the taste, potency, and smell is all there. Now the afgooey can yield double.

I'm along for the ride on this one. Planning something similar very soon. How did the root trim go? I know that Jack and Ben have filled the 13 gallon modules with roots, but certainly didn't think the 27 gallon tote would, especially right at the flip.

Ok more pics are here. Have the cages up so here we go. We are
now 5 days into flower :)

Yes just 5 days into flower and I have had to trim roots twice now.
The trimming goes just fine. Doesn't seem to slow anything down
or put them into shock.

My ceilings are 8'. However, I didn't let them get that tall. Not sure
how much more stretch I will get but they are at 5' right now. I
just finished the second week of flower.

40" ? Wow that seems a little big. Won't I end up with 8' tall plants ? That doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Maybe I'm wrong but they should double
in flower right ? Plus these are really bushy, wide plants.

hey, shit I forgot about this thread. but yea 40in would have been ideal by the looks of that strain.

trees are tough guess how much size they will grow once flipped. I have seen double the size before some caseys, but my bubba and blackberry only grow maybe a ft vertically, most of the grow happens with width.

What I have started doing is vegging with overhead light first, during veg, before transplanting into the flower room. My goal is to get the plants as tall as possible, that way when you put them into the flower room that have good height, then they fill out nice and wide

you will figure a lot of from this grow, I say you flipped too soon but I could be wrong you can adjust next run if needed

Can't wait to see them at 14-16days flower, they normally stretch that long. Ran that clone a few times. Might stretch more then u think but i could be wrong in this setup.

 

[squarepusher]

wow u clogged 3" at veg?? i need to get back into dwc

 

[mrenz999]

I have been using House and Garden. Going completely with the suggested
Aggressive formula. Has anyone used Shooting Powder yet ? The guy at the
hydro store said he isn't sure about it. Anyone know ?

Thanks.

are those how high your lights are usually? If so id drop them a little bit.

 

[Dubsta]

Lets see some new pics mrenz. I'm very interested in how big they got threw stretch.

 

[mrenz999]

hey bro..sick diy..for the root prob. do you have anything blocking the pipes, say mesh or some type of screen..and you lowered the size of your pump o you should be all good there..some of the mpb guys i remember using some sort of screen/mesh to keep roots from getting in there..even though your not seeing it...trimming the roots in most definitely going to hurt your yield in the end..the more roots,the more uptake,the bigger the plant for sure.still killing it bro, just adding my 02.
