One Pound One Gallon Challenge

[Hortulanus]

Yo @Hortulanus everything good man? Miss your posts lately! How's mom's plants and the family? ❤❤

yeah man it’s been a minute. Been hiding. This time of year always hits me but the days are getting longer.

Family is all healthy and mom just harvested her four plants and she popped four Amber Dragon DFG. I’ve got another grow at three weeks. Love Stash DFG. I’m gonna be posting a new grow thread soon.
Plus I gotta follow you doing this challenge man. Plant looks healthy AF.

Thanks man! Crazy here too. I've bit off more than I can chew with five tents going now and I just popped the first beans of that f-bombe cross I made.

Looking forward to your new thread

UgaUgaUga the troll says

Alright. This is an idea spawned from pure testosterone, youthful exuberance, and downright competitiveness. Think the Solo Cup Challenge, upgraded.

The rules are simple:

- 1 gallon media
- 1 plant
- Must be the same plant documented from start to finish in this thread

You can use any media, any light source, any area, any genetics, seed or clone, any nutrients, any additives, PGRs, I don't care. Earn your place in history, and true trolling rights, by producing one pound (16 ounces, 440 grams) from one plant in one gallon of media.

I'll join the party once my current run is done, let's see what happens between now and then :D

Selling yourself 12.8 grams short? Always though it was 28.3 g in an ounce 16oz in a lb 452.8

It's actually 28.3 but everyone just goes by 28. It's too much work to multiply the decimals.

Feed is currently just shy of 1000 ppm or 2.0 EC 16x per day. Approx 3 gal with just short of a gal of runoff per day. I have been dumping it back into the rez because it is never more than 50 ppm difference and adjusting from there. With another pump and some engineering it could be recirculating. PH has been rock solid between 6.0-6.3.

How freaking beautiful is that... teach me your ways brother she looking ungodly gorgeous.

 

[Grownsince95]

This plant has been a lesson in de-fol for sure. I've taken bags and bags and bags of fan leaves and sucker branches off and she doesn't stop.

A perfect example of how some cultivars need it way more than others

Next run I will document it more.

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

Not sure if anyone has the answer to this but when the plant uses nutrients in the water, does it put anything out back into the water and if so what? Not sure if that makes sense or not. Does the plant produce waste?

You know my deal...GH miracle grow and cheap knockoff Chinese LED's

Plus the secret sauce of course

Yes... mostly excess starches. But there is an ion exchange between the plant and water/media as it uptake nutrients and reapores.... this is kinda how a plant and microbes can change and control/affect ph.

Can't really go into more detail without refreshing my memory.

So is that the only reason you have to change your res in hydro?

No... nutrient ratios is the important one... temps, ph, starting ratios, nutrient interactions all play a role and they can become imbalanced and then you have issues. Res changes are to restore nutrients back to known ratios. I cover some of this in my top ups thread

Plus...it just gets straight up funky if you don't change it lol.

I dropped the h2o2 for pond zyme a few months ago and I like the difference so far. Will probably add hydroguard or similar product soon too

100% switching from sterile to live

Good shot of her bottom

I didn't exactly mainline or manifold her more like something in the middle haha

Hydrogaurd and enzymes really help keep a clean system and rootzone

Update:

Haven't touched a thing since the last update haha. Besides some fan leaf plucking she's on cruise control.

1 gal.... super sexy... you sir are now restricted to Dixie cups lol

 

[Mr.GreenthumbOG]

Really impressive stuff 95.

 

[Grownsince95]

I wouldn't have even tried it unless I saw @Aqua Man mother hunt grow in the one gallons ...totally gave me the knowledge and confidence to do it.

Gotta love this community ❤❤
