Been a while since I got time to update. This is a backlog update, a week late. This Jack still has a few more weeks before I can take her down. Still showing new pistol and growth . I Dont have any good pics to update. Only Pics I got from the missus a while ago. Im am a bit concerned with the long flowering time of this girl. Seems like she is also lacking something by the looks of the curly leaves. Not too sure what.. The other girl I harvested a few weeks back looked really good with potency on par , which gives me hope that I can still get a successful yield. I added one pic of the plant I harvested for reference. Note to self.... Dont grow Sativas in this grow setup......

@RaptoR, Its all about figuring out the meta of your grow setup. Each grow will get healthier and healthier as you get use to it ๐Ÿ˜Ž Your next grow will be better by week 11 than this one for sure

bro so interesting, hope you find the time to give us update on that set up and the fish lmao - instagram accounts for each fish man i'd follow that 10/10 gotta take care of prunnen those roots though, or are they set in soil?

@CRiSPrGrow,I actually HATE working here ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ‘ˆ ...but it pays the bills. Wishing half of my life away while im here. Thanx man! The Jack and 2 of the others actually sprouted the day my daughter was born more or less! STOKED! and thanx for the compliment on the grow space. I am thinking of building another setup to the side using a SHIFT PIST setup to gain some headroom and to use as a flowering box. Then to use the current one as a veg box. Ive space enough for a few healthy mother plants in there. The whole setup is in my mancave flat downstairs so ive got space to play with. But Iยดll wait till after this harvest then modify the system a bit. All in good time!

@RaptoR, man that's a trip and a half ! You've got my dream set up but I don't have the space! So jealous... And before I forget : CONGRATS ON THE LITTLE ONE TO THE BOTH OF YOUS! ๐Ÿ‘ถ ๐Ÿš€

@CRiSPrGrow,Thanx man. I try and find time to give updates weekly , but its a bit hard from work. See , I work away from home , at sea , in the West African Oil fields on 4 week rotations. So the 4 weeks im home they get a lot of love and attention , but when Iยดm at work they have to do their own thing. Hence me aiming for automation as best I can. My wife helps me take some water readings and a photo here and there and I use this to update as best I can.But we also have a 1 month old baby girl at home , which takes up all off mommies time. Another 2 weeks and Ill be home , then Ill get some fishies! As for the roots , they are set in soil. I just added a layer of hydroton over the soil so that the lights not dry out the soil layer too much. Iยดll also be adding some red wrigglers to the system in a while to take care of dead roots for me and supplement the system.

Very educational. Have you considered fish species that eats more and produces more nitrogen to keep up with the plant? Won't be pretty by get the job done.
MG2009
MG2009
@RaptoR, And you can harvest tilapia to sell, or eat.
RaptoR
RaptoR
@Med_in_Tropic, to be honest, i am leaning alot more towards other fish. My tank cracked and Im gonna have to rebuild. Might as well try tilapia or other fish outside in a ICB container.

RaptoR

@CRiSPrGrow,Me aswell mate. Wanna flip them when I get back home end of November. give them some more time to bush up a bit. Its been a very long Veg time...I feel embarrassed by the slow growth...but I suppose its the lights , the fish , number of plants...lots of factors. next grow should be a lot better.
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrowweek 10
you're being a bit hard on the fish man, if anything i'd blame the lights, the fish are doing their best. last thing your settup needs kinda like a cherry on top is live ladybugs prevention amirite
CRiSPrGrow
CRiSPrGrow
@RaptoR, haha all in good time all in good time
RaptoR
RaptoR
@CRiSPrGrow,ladybugs, didnt even think of them!! On thr list of things to add. Worms and bugs. The fish are a bit small still. Nitrate levels stable at only 50ppms. Bigger fish, more ammonia, more nitrates. But yeah... The lights are also crap... Gotta save up for some better Solar.

Looking great ๐Ÿ‘what kind of fish would you use? Gold fish ? Koi?
MG2009
MG2009
@RaptoR, Lol, angel poop
RaptoR
RaptoR
@MG2009, Im pretty happy with the growth...was thinking 2 weeks ago that Jack wouldnt pull through , but I guess the roots mustve made it to the wet zone. I have quite a large tank , so definitely want a koi or 2 in there. But goldfish is very hardy and tough as well so ill stock up on a few of them as well. They can handle Ph spikes and temp changes well enough...and their cheap. But once the system is stable , say in six months ill invest in some more exotic fish...really want some angels in there , then I can say my MariJ was grown with Angel Poop!

I too like those updates. The fact your diary isn't flawless is one of the aspects that makes it worth following. As long as you keep Jack in the current light-regimen of 18-6 you will eventually get a decent harvest once you get those growth-parameters tuned in. You will also develop your agriculture-skills in the process.

@RaptoR,Nature bro...awesome
RaptoR
RaptoR
@BigDaddyK,mmmm never thought of it , im sure theyll chomp on the leaves , if they get hungry enough!!! Ill try it when Im home , chop up some trimmings. So far Im still learning the fish , basically need oxygenated water and food. Their poop is basically ammonia and they also breathe out ammonia , then I have two bacteria colonies established in the growbeds. One breaks down ammonia into nitrites , and the second breaks down the nitrites into nitrates aka nitrogen yummie plant food.The plants then removes the nitrogen from the water and the water is pretty much filtered when it siphons back into the tank. Its very interesting the deeper one goes into it. Worms and ladybugs is the next step up to make it more efficient.
