Can you post the link to the video that gave you your inspiration for this set-up? I'd like to watch it, as I have some real questions as to exactly how this is supposed to work. I'm just not understanding it.

I believe this is it hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47fIBLjcxYk

He is using coco, it must drain faster than potting soil.

With potting soil your going to what flood every 3-4 days?

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Yes growdude, that is the exact series.


I'm up for suggestions all.. please, by all means, consider what I have purchased, and suggest stuff.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Why did it take you guys 19 pages to tell me I shouldn't flood and drain a soil setup? I've been 100% open with you guys since page 1.... I'm extremely confused you understand?

 

[pcduck]

Because I did not go back and read all the pages

"And knowing, is half the battle.." G....I....JOOOOOE!

He is using rock wool.. first five minutes lol. But ya u can floor and drain soil but u need half the pot to be something that allows for seepage and drainage.

Either way keep figuring out

Just checked the tent this morning. I believe everything is looking alright, I don't know.

I transplanted the 5 small ones last night into their larger pots, and fed the 4 large ones 800 PPM's of nutes...making sure to mix Micro first.

The plants are getting realllly thick and bushy.. most leaves look good, just looks like the plants are getting a little wild lol.

I'm trying to decide and figure out when I should be throwing the tent into flowering. I'm surely going to be getting a veg tent in the next week or 2.

@ .45 sec it sure sounds like he's saying coco.

They get 2-3 times taller and bushier so thats what you have to worry about.
At some point you may want to remove lower/smaller branches.

He uses Canna Coco

And yeah Growdude, I'm trying to factor in the size and all right now, and decide when to set to flowering. I need to get the veg tent setup first though, because those 5x Blue OG sure are not ready! lol

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Everything looks great today! Yellow Cotyledons for days on the little guys, so I fed them 300 ppms of nutes this morning.

Great temps, great days.. keeping my head held high.

I actually mentioned my concerns about the whole set up a couple of times. However, I really thought that when you went with soil you had decided to not do flood and drain. I have never heard of anyone using soil to do any kind of ebb and flow or flood and drain. I apologize if this was not made clear, but you really seemed hell-bent on doing things the way this video showed.....

 

[orangesunshine]

don't fret---you might consider just running the soil---water by hand---let the tray act to catch the runoff---no biggie---many peeps including myself prefer herb grown in soil over hydro

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Well.... that will SURELY give me a heck of a lot more height. I imagine I can salvage this setup and somehow use it in the veg tent? Or save it for a future flood n drain with hydroton or something?

Thanks for replying either way all. I think I was confused about using COCO vs soil.. and used soil in a coco application. I'm learning now a bit more and understanding things and seeing them differently. Thanks again all!

isnt learning great . I watched that full series the past couple of days, I like his system

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Yeah, I've watched that video series twice, and really dig it. I also now talk to Vader on a personal basis.. kinda nifty hah.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Checked the tent this morning and everything looks great... only thing I've noticed, is a little bit of stretching on the 5 newer ones, because of the 4 larger ones being too tall.. my light is a bit high.

c-mon veg tent! I have $320 for it, and I need $450 (local store deal)

 

[orangesunshine]

might consider bringing the 5 newer ones closer to the light so they don't stretch---prop them up on some buckets---they need a step stool of sorts
