Hydro Growers:
1. Are you growing from seed or clones?
I grow my mothers form seed and then i cultivate clones from them
2. How old are your plants?
My current mother is 6 months
3. How tall are your plants?
my mother topped out at 45 cm, cant grow any higher because its allready touching the lights.
my plants in veg grow to around 30 cm in hight at that time I top them and flip them to flowering and i keep scrog them so they dont get much higher then that.
4. What type of hydro system are you using?
I am running DWC for vegging and flowering and my mothers are organic in soil
5. What brand/type of nutrients are you using?
Biobizz for the mother
Hessie for the rest
6. What is the Ph of your nutrient solution?
5.5 when presoaking my rockwool cubs for the cutlings i take from the mother
5.8 when I plant them in their DWC bucket
I top feed the plants in the buckets and its pretty hard to get a clear reading on the solution in the buckets because of the bubbling of the water
7. What is the PPM/EC of your tap water?
0.55 EC
8. What is the PPM/EC of your nutrient solution?
No Idea i follow the recomended dose of the supplier
9. What is the temperature of your nutrient solution?
They all get water that is around 20 Celcius
my grow buckets nutrient sulition heats up to +-22-23 celcius for the plants in veg and +-21 celcius for flower
10. Does your PPM/EC show a rise or fall when you do your daily PPM check?
I dont check daily EC i just look at the plant and adjust accordingly
11. Does your pH show a rise or fall when you do your daily check?
My PH value rise to above 7.5 PH when the water is bubbling
12. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything?
I only use clonex rooting spray on my fresh cuttlings and since i started doing that I have a 100% succes rate.
its pretty easy to make yourself its basicly willow extract you can just blend some fresh willow branches and soak it in water for a couple of weeks and shake it up every now and then. I just buy the clonex because I am lazy and it comes in a great spay bottle
13. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights")
i use 98 Watts of T5 fluorescent for my mother
100 watts of led for my veg
The mother and the vegging plants are in the same tent so they both get a little bit of light from one light and a lot of lit from the other light.
I run 250 watt HID for flower I do MH for the first 2 weeks and then 250 HPS and I use super lumen for the last 2 weeks of flower.
I am thinking about buying an LED fo summer grows of 150 watt.
14. How close are your lights to the plants?
i use the 10% of the wattage in cm for my HPS
The mother under the T5 grows right up to the light and it cause a little bit of dried out leaves but it does not cause any real dammage
The 100 watt led i am still figuring out what is optimal. I try to go of on the appearance of the plants.
I keep the led at max hight possible when i transplant them in their buckets and then gradually lower them until their leaves start to curl. then i put them up a bit higher again.,
15. What size is your grow space in square feet?
Sorry bro i dont do squqre feet.
my flower is 70x70 cm
my veg and mother tent is 90 x 60 cm
16. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space?
for my veg and mother plants I dont measure the temperature. i dont control the climate most of the time the tent is open and i only close it when i want to work in the room where the tent is and the lights are off.
In my flowering tent humidity is around 38 percent. temp is around 27 celcius when the lights are on and 21 celcius when the ligts are off
17. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space?
Na, i dont run a sterile enviremonet but i use beneficial bacteria. Because I make my own clones i dont get outside pests comming in my grom room.
18. How much experience do you have growing?
10+ years growing with all kind of systems
