new grow bubbler style

[parkingjoe]

hey up dudes long time no pictures from me

gonna get meself an sd memory card tomorrow for my fuji compact digi camera as i dont have the funds for a new slr digital atm

so this is the set up at my friends-you will all know my friend as the plant killer with the lovely cooker and toilet bowl

1 x 90 litre reservoir with 2 x 4 litre square net pots with 1 x 240 litres per hour airpump connected to 4 x 6" airstones also an aquarium heater with a heat guard to prevent the roots getting torched

so already got the heater up and running to get the res to the correct temp ready for the transplanting of 1 x skunk #2 x afghani and 1 x u.k. cheese into the net pots tomorrow.

nutes at this moment in time are canna aqua vega with canna rhizotonic and the ph is 5.5 and the cf is 5

so once the plants are in situ which btw were my future mother plants which have been replaced with some smaller clones as future mothers i will install the net for a scrog type grow.

the plants are already 12" in height and very bushy so should only be in veg for 1 week before they go into flower mode.

so ill post some pics tomorrow folks of this new grow and my present monster plants:holysheep:

until then i bid you farewell dudes

Those look nice parkingjoe, how long have those been vegging?

 

[parkingjoe]

cheers uk and alistair

they were my future mother plants but i decided to take them out of their respective 3.5 litre pots of soil and plonk them into clay pebbles.

so id say about 4-6 weeks from clones they both be atm

they are both displaying slight signs of lsf but thats not an issue as i have acktrivator from canna which cures this prob-reason is cos the extraction wasnt on so now its up and running and plants are treated should clear up in no time..

anyway still no roots out of the massive net pots so until roots show through they wont be placed into flower.

nuff said.

update time and also finished dwc thread

lol

so both plants had just developed enough roots to dangle into the reservoir.

so alls looking great until my friend gets a surveyors notice 2 days ago saying the housing association is conducting an attic survey to ensure all attics are adequately insulated.

*** so into clean up mode everything out and both plants are now back in 10 litre pots of soil as it would have been a nightmare for my friend to empty a 90 litre res by buckets and hide all the equipment.

so now looking a lot healthier btw and into flower for 3 days now.

expect them to be dead when i return from prague on friday as my friend is one lazy assed pothead.

rofl

sorry folks if still alive ill continue the thread.

enjoy the trip and hope fully the credit cards and ladies :rofl: will still be alive ,,,,happy shopping :48:

 

[parkingjoe]

no one will allow me to be let loose with any credit cards nomore.lol

ladies still alive and i taken the decision to take home the cheese mum back home and take 20+ clones from her in a weeks time or so as i want to do a 20 cheese soil grow now i know i can obtain 2oz dry per plant.

friend is being donated with 3 plants in the cheese mums place along with taking back my 600w hps and he can make do with my 250w hps as its more than enough as he keeps allowing his electric meter to run out so *** why do i bother springs to mind constantly.

people on here know all about said friend and his idle ways btw.

roflmao.

so post some prague pics tomorrow as ive been working today after landing at 1am getting home for 1.30am and being up at 4.30am for a 3 hours drive to cambridgeshire working the driving home im all done and fallin alseep as i type.

Bummer Joe I sorta wanted see a grow of yours in the DWC format.

I have just started one of my own DWC's.

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

Whats up pkj, I read just about all your journals last night and you are the man I cant wait till I get my own place again so I can start growing again. Am going to use a lot of your info on my next grow I have a question for you. On that 90lit res, of often are you going to change the water? Once a week? and where do you move all that water lol :holysheep: Man that stinks I wanted to see how this grow was going to go with that net. But there is always a next time.

 

[parkingjoe]

hi pc and smokey yeh bummer indeedy but crap happens.

so when you do dwc you dont ditch the water/nutes ya just top up thats what i sussed out from other growers doing dwc.

anyways after this grow ive decided im doing 32 uk cheese in 10 litre pots soil mix.

and then when flowered and 8 weeks later ill be the owner of 64oz dry.

thatll do me mateys

lol

pkj

 

[parkingjoe]

oh smokey id stay with the latest grow info from me as im always bettering and learning to be a better grower/yielder btw

lol

pkj

 

[parkingjoe]

grow house its the afghani x skunk No 2 the big plant and the other two poxey ones are arjans haze and uk cheese

pkj

 

[noneedforalarm]

the first one looks amazing,the other 2 are iffy.still better than anything i have created yet,haha nice stuff.

 

[parkingjoe]

hi noneed the 1st pic was amother plant thats why its way ahead of the other two

the 2nd pic uk cheese is a weird growing plant imho and the arjans is crap whichever way its grown imo

both the smaller plants are in 3.5 litre pots so thats a cause of their crappiness

lol

anyway cheese is the biz
