Cool setup, like the way you used the gutters.

So I over feed the babys the leaves got this wrinkled look to them so I did a flush with just ph water and there looking better. You can fix problams in coco so fast. I got the ppm down to 300 where at 800 now I will feed them in a day at 400 ppms.

So I have all the babys in the big room in there 3gl smart pots. Grow baby grow!!!

Looking good brother!

How long you're thinking to veg them?

very nice clean setup !

And it's ok for the ph to drift little there..Makes them nutes more available :) imo If they look good their good jea :)

Im looking at veging them for 3 weeks that would put the veg at 5 weeks. They have been veging for 2 weeks under my T5.

Real nice looking setup I got a few really good ideas from your pics. Thanks and best of luck bro.

Swiss welcome happy this setup give you some ideas. It is nice to see the water come out of the pots and run down to the gutters. Then you know that you are getting a good run off.

Yeah I like to see a lot of runoff too except it's usually the lake on my floor without drains after I'm done watering will be making a gutter system or raise the floor with 2x4's and put in pvc drains.

You got to love the cold nights I have all 3 lights on in the room temp is 77deg no A/C.
Im pulling air from outside and feeding it to my fan in the room.

There doing so good just trying to get the calmag in the wright range. It may be that when I PH the water Im PH to 5.6 to 5.8 becouse my run off is 6.5. So I think I will add a little more calmag and up the PH to 6. And see what they do. If someone has some input that would be cool thanks.My Mg is at 67. That is what sucks about H&G they do not put there % of cal on there bottles. This is one thing I need to know.Is there a average with A&B two part fertilier ?

Update 27 days of veg

injoy:)

Looking good there JP! I recently moved to the 510 from LA and absolutely love the night temps up here, but quickly discovered the need for a dehumidifier instead.

Due to it's selective retention of cations, the best way to measure coco "runoff" is to take 1 part coco (from your pot, closest to root zone possible) and mix with 5 parts DI water, then test that.

Can't speak to your calmag dosing cause I don't use H&G (yet...) but I don't see any problem with bumping your Mg to around the 100 range if you're seeing a deficiency (which I don't currently see). That sucks that H&G doesn't list Ca % and I couldn't find anything online. I don't know how companies get away with that shit.

Coco and smartpots for the win, indeed!

Girls are looking great JP...i'll be flipping soon, when do you plan to?

My girls got a bit too big, dealing with other problems prevented me from flipping on schedule. SO, now i'm reducing my plant count in my stadium and will be running bigger plants. Almost as big as yours...maybe larger.

 

[JPLord01]

I think I will flip next thursday. I got the PH up to 5.9 to 6.0 and the calmag got better.
And the plants are happier now. I'm feeding every day at 800ppms I will go 4 days feed then calmag PH water no food then feed. I got the heater in there for the night. Got the temp set at 68 so when it get over 68 the can fan comes on then back down to where it need to be. I have it setup on a timer light off.

 

[badhalf]

Sup JP!! Yo your girlz are lookin good kid. your going to flip'em in a week, cool. i just switched on all 4 verts so 3 days more then i'll flip mine. also thanks for the info you kick in my girlz are loving life now.

This is awesome, did you just come up with the pvc sheets and the gutters. Ive been building my tables like this for 10 years and Ive never seen it done. Love it!

 

[JPLord01]

I was just thinking of a way to get the run off water into a tub and this is what I came
up with. It works very good. If you had a drip setup you could run one tub as a rez and one tub as wast.
