RO Journey: 6 Strain Run+Growpito+F&D

damien50 · Sep 26, 2020

@MIMedGrower You've been a big help and while I initially thought it was equipment issues or growing skill related I found out why my grows from last year until now were subpar.

450+ppm from the tap with 170 grain. Tap water was destroying my plants. I chased issues for nearly a year to find this out. Anyways, got an RO system everything is all good after nearly three weeks.

Plants looked like trash, lost some mothers, and now I'm back for another flower run.

Welcome to the first flower run with the RO system. It has been a bit over two weeks and 5/32 clones rooted well enough to be transplanted.

This was Day 1

Redid the indexing, it was a pain for me and looked hard to read. The Flowery will have updates for each strain and eventually the Super Silver/Original Amnesia will have their own pages. If I don't like the strain it won't get anything after the first run.

Everything in this page will be general as I just transplanted everything yesterday.

Flower room equipment has been changed up since I manage the environment of the whole room rather than just the tents.

AIRCARE 6 gallon whole room humidifier
Central heating/cooling
5x5 Gorilla tent
500w Bridgelux EBG2 3000K array
3x3 flood table
1050gph pump
Mega Crop 2 part

Plants were also transplanted today for a final count of 28 plants for this run. Foliar feed is Fulvic/kelp/silica/yucca at a 4.5ph. Foliar sprays have to be acidic to penetrate the cuticle. For this run the strains will be

Sannie's Extrema x1
Ace Seeds Bangi Congo x Panama x2
Ace Seeds Zamadelica x Kali China x11
Dinafem Original Amnesia x5
Dinafem Super Silver x2
SSSC Pineapple Poison x7

It is day 10 since the Transplant and I am four days away from flowering. Most everything has been pruned and or defoliated to encourage more vegetative growth.

Routine foliar of fulvic/kelp/silica at a 5.3ish ph. Glad to have the RO since I have not had fungus gnats issues since.

Really liking the Super Silver growth meanwhile the Pineapple Poison had some transplant shock and couldn't handle the light at max. Smaller PP donor just isn't doing well but if it turns around good for me. Stem rub on the PP smells like boiling pinecones, can't describe the Super Silver.

Extrema, like every other plant in here, was super cropped and handled it very well. Stem rub smells like ass and skunk.

Original Amnesia is doing pretty well with a skunk fruit smell. I planned on getting a UV puck and a 730nm puck from RapidLED but I'm waiting on a superior product.

Zamadelica is doing amazingly well. Bangi Congo x Panama is a bit slow but I'm looking for it's single cola performance this grow.

Day 3 of flower

Foliar mix of yucca/fulvic/kelp/fish hydrolysate/silica is the latest brew. Moved the plants around a bit as the Pineapple Poison was shadowing.

Moved the Extrema to the middle but it wasn't a big change. Everything started to stretch a bit but we'll see how crazy it gets in the coming weeks.

Using much less water with the 1050gph pump filling and draining the tray with 4 minutes.

The Zamadelica x Kali China is doing incredibly well with no burn or anything. I had concerns over the Super Silver and Original Amnesia looking a bit pale.

Pineapple Poison wasn't looking the best but it's recovering. The clones are looking amazing.

Continued - I started a business running an eCommerce site for cannabis cultivation equipment. Slowly building up inventory but I got really tired of reading how growers were failing or riddled with issues because their equipment was a roadblock.

So I offer free virtual consultations as I have been doing this for the past 8 months locally as my state legalized cultivation. Was offered a few jobs at the beginning of the next year and the new site has been a real experience to say the least.

RO system has been amazing with some of the best growth I have ever seen. I did my best to not waste any canopy so I'm hoping for 2#. The mothers have grown well with over 25 available cuts per and I'm overall pleased.

I've continued measuring my tap out of habit and at this point it is nearly 700ppms. A few locals got their water tested and having been finding a bacteria within that stains the toilets red, killed several pets, and sent a few people to the hospital.
