My pineapple chunk ...DIY Wick System .. who knows ??

**tellno1** · 01-28-2012, 01:14 PM

Well I'm off with a new grow for the new year ... popped 3 pineapple chunk from Barney's farm on Jan 1st. Using the wet paper towel method, all 3 cracked on Jan 3rd and were planted in 8oz cups with just promix-bx. Watered with distilled water and supethrive for the first 14 days.

Now I don't know how you guys do it, but i don't consider veging till after the first 14 days. So when i transplant at 14 days i count that as the first day of veg. I transplanted into 1 ltr pots and started watering with liquid Karma, pureblend pro (grow for soiless) , cal/mag plus and a drop of superthrive.

wish i could have takein pics of them earlier but i'm old and forgot lol anyways here are the 3 girls at 2 weeks in veg (27 days from seed )

I have them under a 4light T5 , the veg box is covered in mylar and i have a couple of led panes for sidelighting

All the plants are bottom fed because they will be transplanted to the wick system .. just my experience they seem to grow a little beter if they were bottom fed from seedlings?

I use distilled water i guess for piece of mind .. i know whats in it lol

Always have used PureBlend pro as my veg fert, but i found that the bloom is somewhat lacking and you need way to many additives so with all thats out there now i might try something new for flower ..

any comments / suggestions welcome

I just thought I would update and add a couple of pics. It's been 5 days and they have grown a fair bit , will be ready to put into the wick buckets in a day or so.

Well the transplant into the wick buckets went well. They seem to be filling out nicely.

These were taken on feb 3 ... 34 days from seed .. 3 weeks into the veg lighting cycle

When I transplanted they went in my secret jardin drII 90 tent under a 430W sonogro light, inside a 6in cool tube vented seperately from my carbon filter , which is mounted in the top corner of my tent.

Temps are 75 -79 lights on , 65-70 lights off. I also have a inline fan on my lowest vent blowing some fresh air into the tent.

My wick buckets are just kitty litter pails , stacked , with a net pot in the bottom of the upper pail. It is filled by way of a pipe into the bottom pail which acts as a small rez.

I add 1 liter of chunky vermiculite to the bottom of the top pail, enough to fill the netpot and bottom of pail, which acts as my wick. Then i add 5 liters of promix-bx soil on top of the vermiculite, when i transplant.
