Running RO water this morning to top off all the boxes !-- Thirsty plants !-- I run it into an empty box or a bucket then fill gallon jugs and add nutes !-- Later I plan on a 55 gallon res of premixed nutes !-- I'm getting to the point I want to mess with the nutes in bloom !-- I've seen what can be done so I can learn !-- Just would be nice to have to the threat of jail removed !-- The right light --temp --some CO2 and the right nutes available at the right time and the plant does the rest !-Anyone ever turn the lights off for the last couple days of bloom ?-- Might be worth considering !

you ever notice certain strains seem to use a lot more water than others?

sunshine daydream uses more water than all the other stains I've grown.

It's harder for me to tell how much each plant uses !-- I have noticed that in early to mid bloom my girls drink a lot !-- I ran a bloom box for 10 weeks without a res change !-- My boxes start with about 12 gallons of nute solution and I top them off ever week or so !-- Since I got no run off or even exposed water my humidity stays low about 40% RH -- I got my nursery / cloning station over the tub and my 6 veg boxes in the attached walk in closet -- I put a little window unit in the bathroom window and running 8-9 Mars Hydro Reflector Series back there my temp stays in the low 70's - I stay on top the bugs and I can dial it in !

 

[Keef]

Well I finally got my lemonade to ferment !-- Yeast is on it now !-- So 8 gallons of Hard Lemonade cooking !
Make powerful fire water it will !-- It'll be right behind 5 gallons of Blueberry wine and 5 gallons of Caramel Apple Pie wine and 3 gallons of Watermelon wine !-- How did this happen ? -- Now Umbra got me pointed at Pomegranate Wine !-- He plays me like this cause he can !-- Dam U Umbra !-- I have to find one more piece and then I got your THCA crystals !-- The by product will be pure CBD crystals !--

I'm just learning about the no reserivior change growing methods........ will be looking to convert next year........ guess switching to ro water is first.

 

[Keef]

I got this crazy idea to reconstruct weed !-- Breaking it down into THC --CBD - and terepenes !-- Then in an e-cig format I could recombinant them especially as I find the terepenes !-- Make an e-cig liquid to your specs !-- 40-50 % THC --20 -30% CBDS and terepenes of choice for flavor !--

 

[Keef]

G13 - U switch to RO water U got to add Cal/Mag !-- I found out the hard way !-- RO water is like distilled it has no trace elements or anything in it !-- My RO water has about 6 ppms !-- I use the Cal/Mag -- a water conditioner to prevent foam (Hydro Guard)-- My nutes are Botanacare's Pro Grow or Pro Bloom! -- RO water needs to sit and stabilize before U start pH !-- My RO water comes out the tap at about 4.6 pH !-- 24 hours later it is at about 6.0 !-- U start pH before the water stabilizes U chase pH until U pull your hair out !--

Good to see my Brothers chilling together. Yehaaaaaaaa

 

[Keef]

This is why I tell people I have a bastardized system --part aero ,part DWC !-- With the lid closed the roots float around in the nute solution but with the bubbler always pumping room air into the box the roots that are not underwater will get plenty O2 !-- Pump runs 15on/ 15 off !--

[Keef]

By the way,,if ya could cool your solution, the roots would be whiter and even more healthy.

 

[Keef]

They would be pearl white if I didn't use this too!

[WeedHopper]

Didnt know Nutes stained the roots. How weird.

 

[Keef]

Humboldt Roots is the worst at staining roots !-- Make them brown !-- Hurt my feelings first time I saw it !
Thought I did something wrong !-- Worked real well healing sick plants !-- I keep it around but don't use it much !-- This Overdrive is a recent addition !-- I only use it in bloom !-- Works well !-- I got a ways to go with my grow skills but I'll get good one day ! -- First U make it work then U can make it look good ! -- I can see myself getting a pound per square yard one day or more !---That's a pound per square yard 5-6 times a year !-- That's setting the bar high but doable !-- The question is can I do it !

I have a few rings of it on the floor in the spare bedroom. Looks like I will have to refinish the floor to get it out.

 

[WeedHopper]
