Looks like there good be a banana. LOL on towards the upper left of this pic also.
Yeah maybe one starting there, I don't think it will have time to develop viable pollen before I chop though.
Doesn't seem to be impacting your tricome developtment. Should still be sinsemilla. Any extra stress this grow?
mm
Yeah if there are a few it's minor...I almost feel like the LA finished really early, so maybe it's just because they are over mature? but the trics are like 80% milky, 10% amber so idk. Stress maybe lighting a few times for a hour or 2 went off. Or my humidity which has been 50-65% ewww need a dehumidifier.
man i love cherry coke.
It is good. Makes a bowl taste good too.

Just a recirulating DWC really... I would order it bare bones and get my own air pumps and ceramic diffusers. Then there's the decision of 8 or 13 gal modules. I would totally rock the 13 gal ones if I had 10ft+ ceilings, under probably 8x 1k Eye Super Blue verticals I think the 8 site one I was looking at was like 1100 bare bones, not terrible. And look at the results, one harvest more then pays for the investment lol

Under Current XXL 8 Site -UC8XXL13B: $1015
Micro-Pore Air Diffuser, Double (728505): $37x10: $370
Commercial Air 7 (728459) 200 Liter/Min, 280watts: $143
105 Gal Standup Res (707169): $350
Eye Hortilux Super Blue 1000Hps/MH: $220x8: $1760
Hydrofarm Powerhouse (air cooled) 1000w Hps: $250x8: $2000
Can 16" Max-Fan 2436 CFM (room cooling): $1467
EcoPlus Supere 6" 440 CFM (for ballast cooling): $174

Total: $7279

Ok so it's a WISHLIST lol but gotta have dreams rite!

That's be so worth it if you had the money and maybe somehow you could make some oney off of it. :roll:

Excellent grow btw!

Homeade Ebb & flo. Made with Botanicare 2'x4' tray, 2x4s for a stand, flood & drain fittings, a 16 gal rubbermaid tub rez, and 364 gph submersible pump on a timer with 15 min increments.

Maybe about 200. The tray was 75, 2x4s & hardware 25, hose 15, fittings 5, pump 25, timer 15, Tub 7, air pump 20, air stones 8... so about 195. Basically you just want to make a stand tall enough to fit your rez under & fully support the tray, and have it be 1/2" lower on one end then the other to ensure complete drainage. I used 3/8s on my pump side up to the tray, the overflow fitting has 3/4" hose returning to the tank. Other than that cut holes into the rubbermaid lid so u can light seal it, and u should be good.

First 2 pics is left side with the hose coming from pump up to table. Second 2 are the overflow side, running back into the rez. Hope that helps man.

What made you go with ebb and flow?

I'm hand watering my soilless plants 2 gallons each pot every 2 days now which is time consuming to say the least. Thinking about changing to hydroponic next grow just for ease of watering. May make a DWC, but ebb and flow looks like it will take half the time to build.

also, timer set to 15 minute intervals. So you are constantly recirculating water into the table, right? I hear this is great for aeration. Cool table.

I like that plants can be moved in and out of it easily. I don't really like to run the system in veg, just hand water to save nutes, but in flower it's nice to set it and forget it so to speak. I can leave it almost 7 days unattended which is nice if I need to be away. The table floods 3x a day for 15 mins each time, once at 12:30 (30 mins after lights on) again around 5:30 and the last at 9... Lights out at 12. The bags & jugs full of water in the table are to take up space so it takes less water from the rez to completely fill the table. This buys me more days before the pump will run dry with same size rez :)

How many grows do you think you will get out of that huge jug? I wouldn't use more nutes doing a flood and drain vs. a soil grow would I? Have you ever had problems with roots growing out the bottom of the pot?

Should last me about 4.5 grows... You may use slightly more, soil often contains nutes so u use less, organic, ect. They grow out the bottom it isn't really a problem, they don't venture out away from the pot its too dry and light.

ya im hoping for 12-14 zips on mine. i vegged for 6-8 weeks so i think it is an accomplishable goal. my Kaya looks like itll have 4 zips on it alone, so maybe. but im loving that pineapple express. im looking at Barney;s Farm Pineapple chunk. its 25% THC also caught my eye ;-)
