Vertical SCROG
👉We need your opinion
What Training to cover a 115x115cm homogeneously with a flat canopy ?
1 PLANT - Veg 6 to 9 weeks
Passing the plant through a central hole after having done 2 toppings, pressing it against the wire mesh using ties ?
What to you do ? When ?
Hey, I've seen this type of setup before. All you have to do is a vertical Scrog. The same as Scrogging horizontally but vertically. Personally, I would do 2-3 plants for a 115x115cm canopy and if you top twice I guess it will take more than 6 weeks, closer to 9-10 weeks. Or you can top once and grow more plants at a time.
Hi growers
We decided to start growing hydroponic crops without substrate! We simply use the small rock wool cubes throughout the experiment.
Before planting the seed :
The water with the substrate must be treated before use (stabilize the ph at 5.5) for that some drops of ph down (Plagron). Once the solution is stabilized, let it rest in the solution for 24 hours. Remove the substrate from the solution, drain and let it rest in the open air for a few hours so that the substrate is moist and not waterlogged. Make a 3 cm hole in the substrate and insert the seed. Leave it in a humid box for 2 days without light. If there is not enough humidity in the container, spray the edges with the basic solution.
Last week for her in group installation of 2 tanks for 4 plants with small lights.
Next week they will move to the vetical wall, they will each have their own tank and lamp 😀
Hey!
We start the 5th week of Bubba Kush with a new vertical installation with individual tanks and lamps.
Lighting :
[Plant 2 & 3] -> 2 x Lumatek ZEUS 600W pro 2.9
[Plant 1 & 4] -> 2 x Spider Farmer SE1000
-- > For all PPDF 568 (20000 lux) < --
Watering setup (set at day 31) :
[Plant 1 & 4 : 15min/15min] - [Plant 2 & 3 : 1 watering/6h]
We notice spots on the leaves, we think of an overwatering, we test a more extended flux.
EC setup :
[Plant 1 & 2 : Low EC at 0,8] - [Plant 3 & 4 : High EC at 1,4]
To solve the problem of leaves, we did not notice any difference with an ec of 0.8 and 1.4. (group separated 2 weeks ago) :/ Any propositions?
In hydroponics is it common for you to use power roots, green sensation, cannazym or the hydro A&B product really enough? Thank's
Not a good week...
Our experiment look to show bads signals about the setup, but we are lucky, our system is very resilient.
So, after changing water, we choose to change the roots setup for a better propagation
This week is entirely used to make us thinking. We need logic, calm, for a good reflexion... Hum.. Hopefully we can smoke our Persian Pie from the last session, delicious thinking...
That's all for today, see you soon
This is a good week 😏
Benefic or malefic ?
-Root affected look whiter
-We don't use any organic nutrient, but black carpet used in our last soil-coco session.
H2O2 and/or water submersion look to "kill" it, but if it's a benefic "mold", we can let them alive
🦜 Welcome in this week journal 🦜
}-> Day 43
Decisions taken
Let's do it, starting by tamponing clay pebbles for a stable medium,
cleaning the pot with some H2O2, full pot n°1 and 2 with the pebbles... Slowly to maintain the roots alive
Okay !
Now, 2 pots remain not happy, but we can cut useless parts of the black textile used in the floor of the pots.
-> Very delicately move the textile to maintain roots in the air, like that we can try to water by ebb & flow, and pray for a good result.
}-> Day 49 hum... The clay pebbles pots looks to adapt to their situation slowly, but surely.
For the "SpiderMan's roots", pot n°1, we observe the uppers roots are better. So. We can try to replace "ebb & flow" by "DWC" for this pots, and he's brother pot n°4.
Using our system we just set the waterlevel and activated the pumps without timers.
Result in the next week, time to adapt. We need to learn, we need to understand, 4 separated pots are a benediction for this !
What's up in the next episode ? 🦜
🦜 Hi growers,
The vegetation period is progressing slowly but surely.
We are changing our fertilizer brand from Plagron to Green House Feeding. We think that the Plagron products we were using are more adapted to short vegetative phases and not long like ours.
Also, informations about Plagron's products are rare, so it's hard for us to adjust our NPK or to customize the soup for each of our babies.
So we are wisely waiting for the plants to adapt to the new nutrients. In the meantime, we continue to research how to improve our home made set-up (temperature control in the tanks, adding biofilters, etc.).
Good week and see you next week 🦜
Hi everyone!
Lot of work to manage the plants, because of changing nutrient the PH go down very fast. Probably the NH4+ || NO3- ratio of the GHS feeding.
We tried to use bicarbonate of soda to maintain the PH but the quantity is insane ... So the EC finally go up because of salts, we choose to change water faster than expected filled by our new osmoser.
We are extending the vegetative phase by 1 week by increasing the EC since we have a setup that allows it with powerful lights, CO2, bubblers etc.
Plant 1 -> EC : 2
Plant 2 -> EC : 1.4
Plant 3 -> EC : 2
Plant 4 -> EC : 1,7
We are aiming for a PH of 5.8.
We also increase the dose of nutrients (powder) from GHE and to better manage the PH, we use PH - and + from Plagron.
We are looking forward to the stretch!
Note: Nutrient of GHS in dosed in g/l , instead of ml/l
