I started my plants in Jiffy pellets, the roots were too quick and popped out of the bottom in only a few days, so I stuck them in larger rockwool.
However now only days later the roots are once again sticking out of the bottom.
The issue is that the roots aren't long enough to hit any water...
Pictures as of tonight... Still in the domes, thinking I should take it off soon? Not really too sure when to remove the dome.
Today would be day 6 from the day I put them into the water from seed
The future Mom room
As of today we had our first sign of roots out of the bottoms of the Jiffy's
For those of you counting, that is about 4 days from the day I put them into water
Now they look like this
So far everything is looking pretty good. Those hydroton cubes soaked in the...
All except 3 of Arjan's Haze have made their way into Jiffy's
Still using a 1L spray bottle with a mix of Nutri Boost. Poked standard holes into the Jiffy's and then sprayed them down. They feel damp, but not wet.
Currently temps are hitting about 75' so I adjusted it back a little so they...
Update for this morning...
Everything seems happy, temps didn't exceed 72.5' F overnight. So far so good.
Cannatonic have all cracked, about 1/8" for most roots
Sour Cream have all cracked except 1, tap root not very long yet
Arjan's Haze has 2 fully cracked and...
Results as of this afternoon (Approx 18 hrs after placing into water)
The Arjan's Haze shows cracks in the colored coating, but no roots yet
The Sour Cream has 3 seeds that have split and about an 1/8" is showing
The Cannatonic shows some splitting, but no roots yet
All of them sank as of this...
Just took some pics to see if it would work... Some of them turned out well!
These are a strain of kush, 3 weeks into flower, just starting week 4 on Sunday
I posted some more pics, turned the flash off this time
I think the setup is working well so far, the roots seem pretty happy in the gutters and they are growing daily still.
Nodes are pretty close together and I think I'll benefit with some big kolas in the end.
Thanks for checking it...
Here are some updated pictures
Some small changes, routed the drain/fill lines a little better, more or less trial/error
Upgraded water pump as the flower stage is demanding more nutes and my little pump just wasn't delivering what i needed.
Designed new reflector for the veg stage some small...
Yeah maybe but it was more fun to do it this way.
The gutters also move through 3 stations before they are complete. Starting under the long fluros and then to the stage they are in now, and then finally to the end.
I intend to eventually run the final stage with 4 totes of water so that each...
You are right, and you'll see the change to them. I did it that way due to the space, but since I moved my res I was able to change the design.
MegaPot... Just cause I'm really into my weed
This is the latest, its not 100% done but its a work in progress. Within 2 weeks I should have it completed. It'll have to be done because I'll need the space.
The plumbing system is automated. The valves on the wall run to each res so I can fill them easier. There are two 25Gallon tanks that...
Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to check out my setup.
At this point I can't count how many different ideas and setups I've done. The way things are setup now is probably after about a 1/2 dozen designs using everything from aeroponics to DWC and some in between.
The three pictures...
If the 15 were all stuck together and didn't have proper place to breathe and get to the light probably... Though if using common sense and positioning the plants so they are evenly getting light and well vented, and of course assuming its all the same strain, easily you would get more with 15...
