Pics to follow

WOW, different for sure, cant wait to see pics~!

Edited original post. Opted for fortnightly harvests.

These are what's in at the moment. 2 different pot sizes, taken me two months to find a watering regime. I prefer 1 over 3 gallon with coco and daily watering. In that jungle there are 3x3gallon containers just into week 3 of flower. 3x3gal and 10 x 1gal containers just gone into week 1 of flower and then the clone supply. Will try and get some better pics for you tomorrow. Spent 2hours washing 50ltrs of coco. Messy stuff.

Nice cant wait to see them bulk up

Nice. Excited about this, thinking of doing similar

Will you be posting your feeding regimen or just feeding as needed, as you go? Will you test and or record ph and is this technically a "hydro grow?

I'm having a hard time understanding the feeding process for organic, soil-less mediums. Are there beneficial microorganisms that are used to break down the organic nutes or are your girls eating the nutrients right out the coco?

To my understanding it is technically a hand watered hydro.

I'm watering with nutes daily at lights on.

my run offs have been 6.5-6-8 and my tap water comes out at 8.5 after its sat for a day.
(after nutes added and vinegar i can bring this down to 6.5/6.7)

With regards to the coco, I pre-washed then pre-soaked in nutrient solution with the perlite mixed in, squeezed out excess and rebag for 2 weeks.

I'm currently using Plant Magic Old Timer. Liquid Organics - Veg is 5-3-3 which i use up until week 2 of flower then its the bloom at 3-5-4 all the way through till finish. i have organic p/k4-8 which is part water soluble so i add this from week for to give the non solubles a chance to break down. (also have soluble magnesium when required). There are many micro organisms, half of them I don't know to be honest but when researching 'old timer organics' they seem to cover all of them. its pretty strong stuff at 2-4ml per with the addition of molasses in the bloom mix. it smells pretty rancid to be fair and wouldn't recommend leaving the solution to sit once you've mixed it up, i usually flush away what I don't use and fill the sprayer for the next day.

Seems legit Aight looking into this nutrient lineup. Wanting something smelly haha. Yeah I wanna have that Organic Dank while getting Hydro veg and rooting times. So frustrating watching a plant go slower than it has to to get to the same place. Beautiful. But I wanna turbocharge things here. Was it a big step going from soil to coco?

I'm only too broke to buy a meter, or I'd be hydro already

Picture updates to come this afternoon. Put another 18 in last night to fill the rest of space. Trying to find out when is best to switch on the super hps. Pretty hot outside temperatures at the moment and my fan is to noisy running full wack even with the cool tubes. Currently using the 400mh over the new plants in flower till I have time to work out some ducting runs.

I'm now... 4 weeks flower 2 weeks flower and start week 1 flower.

30 plants unde4 1200 watts all in 1 gallons? How long do you veg your clones for?

2 weeks from root in small pots. Then they go into 1 gal and straight under 12/12

And currently only 1000w running. The extra 200w is just out of my heat control with outside temperatures coming in. No air conditioning in my place.

So a 2 week veg in the smaller containers then flip the switch? I like it... very interesting. Might try the same one day for fun with 1 gal fabric pots.
