ok so here are my babies after they have been put into their growwall pots

I had to rinse the jiffy off of them cuz i didn't want them to dirty up my flow system, yeah I know it sounds risky but it was actually quite easy and I think that the plants didn't even notice anything.

I,ll be putting them in tomorrow nite and shutting my lights off for 48 hours and boom!!!!!!! its flowering time.. wouoooo houoooo!!!!!!!

by the way my system is working so perfectly, no heat, perfect humidity and totally safe,,, I'm a happy grower,

come back soon for an update....

basically they grow and find their way to the back of the net and since its a vertical flood system the entire basket gets drenched everytime, so the roots don't really have to work hard to get fed it just sort of falls on their little root system.lol tellin ya man this thing is awesome, i love the growwall system so far, like i said in a earlier post you can check out a dud on youtube that setup a major growwal operation and its awesome how these things work. and if ever the roots get like really big they just drop down inside the growwall and they have a lot of space to grow.

yup and I also have another 30 being rooted in my closet, I bought another growwall today so I have another 24 sites !!!! should be good man, lets just hope nothing screws up for the next 50 days and I'll be one stone happy little camper...lol

I,m starting my flowering tomorrow , my babies are in the bathroom cuz I am a pest paranoid, so i am checking them thoroughly before mixing them with my own babies , one by one I am putting them under the scope and making sure i am not bringing junk in my garden, might be excessive but i am not taking any chances on this the guy that brought them is a friend but the clone supplier i don't know personally so , no way i am trusting anyone on this its too important to me....

here are the othe 30 I,m talking about and I thought I would throw in a pic of the proud mommy...lol

I spray my grow room,
and around the whole perimeter of my house,
with Ortho Home defense,
to prevent insects, and especially spider mites.

My problem has been gnats.
They like to lay their eggs in the exposed roots.
I got some yellow sticky traps from ebay,
to deal with the gnats.

so ortho is effective in the grow room, since my growroom is one of my upstairs bedroom is in any way dangerous for people?

i had a spider mite problem once and I found that the best cure was 2 coffee residue you know the coffee thats left in the filter once you've made a perculated coffee pot?
I take 2 of those and mix it in with 1 liter of water and let it sit in for about 30 minutes and then refilter it through a new filter then I spray the underside of my leaves and guaranteed in 1 to 2 days you will see no more mites... just thought i'd drop that by at the same time.

thanks dude and I will keep you guys posted very regularly so you can live it along with me...lol but honestly so far I love the growwall system, only because its a plug and play easy to use all factors easy to keep maintained type of system, shit its my first grow and honestly i am very confident about a good outcome...but I still don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, (shit do people still say shit like that..lol) I guess being an old fogy from canada justifies me...lol

peace y'all

Hey friends, well here is my little set up with its babies getting the treatment

I will admit I find my newer ones are having a bit of a hard time , I think it has a lot to do with how deep in the pots you put them, I will from now on put them at the bottom totally , but they are picking up , my milleniumbud is just fucking thriving in the box, my other millenium cuttings are not quite ready to go in yet , they need a few more days of rooting.

I hope things will go well from here cuz flowering has been started and I'm doin the 12/12 thing.lol

if you have any thoughts on anything please help a buddy out and free your mind.

in the box the readings go like this

water temp : 25.6 C
PPM : 560
PH level : 5.8 on average

box temp was too hot but I found a way to counter it by plugging my air exchanger exit 6"tube to the box air intake shit! even with the 2000watts of light on, the temp doesn't get above 23 at any given time, that will help in getting my new babies to pucker back up , in the day everything is set to go off so temp never really changes. cuz I decided to have the dark period of my cycle from 7 am to 7 pm, that way the daytme heat keeps my room warm when the lights are off, and the nite time Montreal cold helps to keep my box and room cool when my lights are on, and it also balances out the utility bill, and ofcourse the 2000 watts keep my upstairs cozy as i said before through extracting the filtered air through the air exchanger exits.

oh and I put a pic of the two mommies i decided to flower , got one big one left in the closet under cfl lights.

anyway hope you enjoy the pics . later peeps

thanks puff, I have to admit that I,m a little nervous cuz this is my first grow and its pretty substantial, so I might have 1 or 2 questions for y'all like....

now my babies are in the box they are in with vege, fert, i think I will leave it like that for about another week than start transitioning to floral fert, sound right? i will go gradually in the transition .

I made 1 mistake with this, that I will fix monday, I used hydrotone rocks with my 1" cubes MISTAKE!!!!!! I will get loose rockwool and refill every pot cuz the hydrotone doesn't keep water in long enough so the water sifts right through its good for normal hydro grow but for vertical its the shits, some of my plants are not even getting water sometimes, so if any of you ever decide to go growwall wich I highly recommend just cuz its really fun to work with and interesting to operate, I am telling you go rockwool guys, I think I hate hydrotone rocks just about as much as I love weed....lol

well I'M dying to go in the box and see whats up but its nite in there riht now and I have to wait.....oh and I totally fucked up on the bubblers I made, I am not bubbler oriented or gifted, so i am going traditional cutting operation with a cube and a tray but fuck it takes forever, with the first harvest I will buy a real EZ cloner, cuz i messed up about 28 cuttings, felt like slapping myself out for days, but like my wife says its all about live and learn.

It is an ambitious attempt at a first grow - but nothing ventured nothing gained, right?

hydroton does not hold water - which is a good thing for most hydro applications. you would need some kind of constant waterfall to use hydroton i think.

i think at the end of this grow you'll be way ahead of the curve than most folks after their first time growing.

good luck and happy growing :leaf:

yeah i made a few mistakes that i already realized and that i will not make again,

I would like some confirmation on my fert. idea do you think my transition process is a good idea? or should i wait for a little more than a week?

i missed your question on ferts - what was it?
