Ongoing Soil Grow

[OldSmokie76]

Think the 2x2 will be 9 plants in one gallon containers. Soil medium. 600led to get things going. Thinking maybe a cob or qb now since I did a little research. Interesting tech, those quantum boards. Any who, I'm just thinking out loud. Gonna be in the garden tonight for a bit. Getting ready to take down a strawberry soon and have to rearrange some things. Take a few cuts. Fans are coming Thursday to repair my smaller led. Hopefully start work on the new veg box.

Yeah man 9 one gallons is all the floor space I had in my 2x2,I use a tower fan that sits on the floor though so really I could only fit 8, here soon in gonna be running 2 qb288s at around 70w each in my 2x2,gunna do a solo cup run of either some Hermie seeds I have or the cross I just made not long ago,I'm not sure yet but I'm hoping to fit between 25-35 solo cups/plants in there.

I'm interested in comparing the small plant sog approach. Start to harvest in 90 days or less. How do you plan to water? Hand watering can be a chore with those numbers. I was considering drip lines. I'm gonna stick with this LED for now, but ultimately would like to build a quantum board.

Yeah I'm not sure on watering but probably hand water,it's a pain in the butt but it's all still in beginning stages so alot could change lol

cut ya a piece of pvc pipe,cap on one end,3/4 water hose fitting on other end lay on top of cups in a row,and drill 1 smallest drill bit you can find at each cup,gravity feed it from a bucket with a short water hose on it,just a idea from a old country boy,lmao

hey bro im talking easy,sit that wand on there let it feed your row of cups at a time while you work with others,after a few feedings you will know exactlly how long to leave wand on the row and move to next row,by the time you get to the end,you will notice that were you first started done sucked right back up into cups

 

[OldSmokie76]

I've got some drip line from outside garden. A battery operated timer. I'm gonna put together a resevoir to feed the 2x2 grow. Just have to figure a good schedule. Need to mess around with it.

 

[OldSmokie76]

Roots are showing. I didn't pull em all to count, but I believe I have 9 for the 2x2 plus a couple. Put these in small containers and place them under the t8 for a week then into the tent under the 600 burple. That little one struggling. Plenty of root development, but the foliage is dying quick. Been spraying with a weak nute solution and hoping week in soil will bring her around.

 

[OldSmokie76]

I cut the cheese last night. These girls are getting set up for the big tent. Finish a month of veg then will determine if they're ready for the flip. This cheese has got the bushiest growth. The momma is crazy!

 

[OldSmokie76]

Heavy yellowing in the strawberry at about 4wks. Like, all foliage is yellow. Being sativa, I expected to go deep into a 10/11wk maturity. Not sure if they'll get that far. How long into flower is too late to dose heavy N?

 

[OldSmokie76]

Left - Strawberry Cough 8wk
Right - SC 4wk
Back left/center - Deathstar 4wk
Just some minimal yellowing. Lololol. Screwed the pooch on this run. Not sure if I struggle to revive or let em ride.

 

[OldSmokie76]

Quick update. 8wk Strawberry Cough is in dark for chop. The 9 Critical Cheese are in starter cups in the 2x2. Remaining flower tent is humming along with a few more Deathstar lined up to take cuttings then add to the mix. Gonna clean up the over grown CC momma and stuff her in the tent too. A little nute deficiency here and there. It's all good. Hahahaha. Oh yeah, and the aerogarden making more roots.

 

[OldSmokie76]

Overgrown DS got a hair cut and stuffed in the tent. A select few cuttings placed in the clone cabinet. The SC big bitch all yellowed out but still plumping up. Had to bust out some bamboo to get her supported. Heavy N feeding to assist. She's about 5wks deep I think.

 

[OldSmokie76]

Quick look at the 2x2. Critical cheese. Single Deathstar too. Couple of them have some blistering on some leaves. Not positive, but think they have herpes. Lol. Just fed them according to NFTG seedling/clone. Hoping to veg for another month then flip. Just gonna run them small, single stalk. See what I get.

 

[OldSmokie76]

Strawberry Cough on the hook. Smelling a little like fresh cut hay. Until you grab the bud! Strawberries and earthy aromas. She sat in the dark for 48hr, cut it and hung.

i let mine get to a max 14in then flip in same containers,i windup after stretch at or close to 2 1/2 ft,i grow in a 2x4x5 tent

Roots! Really thinking about building a dwc bucket for this one. Got a lot going on though.

These LED are shit so I'm planning to up these to 2gal and group them into the big tent. Last time I tried flowering under these led, not so great. I might just let it go though. Not sure. I hate wasting effort and not getting the results for lack of good lighting. HPS for the win. Haha.

hid lighting is the best imo too,im running in a utility ropom no ac or heat now,so i got 2 of them led full spectrum 300 watt,they do keep the heat down to about 85 in the tent,102 yesterday,when lights on went to 86 in the tent.
got to agree with you though im not really impressed with them,buds come out fluffy,about end of august i will hook the hps back up and rock on for winter,with the hid lighting in winter ,tent struggles to stay 75 with them on
