Seeds planted around 2 weeks ago. One transplanted into Oxy Pot yesterday.
First grow in a long while. Started by finding numerous seeds in a strawberry kush bag. Gone for a hydro setup in a 2.5 metre sqaured cupboard. Not an ideal set up, but will hopefully fine tune it
Possibly transplanted into oxy pot a little early. But seems to be settling in now. Just need some more root development.
Root Update 27/8 - both oxy pot and 5 plants still in grow cubes, have all had a good increase in root development over night - 27 August
Root Update 28/8 - all grow cubes and one in oxy pot developing well.
Set up:
1 CFL 300w Dual Spectrum light with reflectors
1 kaizen carbon filter and air out.
1 eco fan air in
1 oxy pot
1 9 inch oscillating fan
Any ideas on getting better root development in an oxy pot. Ive lowered the water down an inch below and there seems to be some improvement but not as quick as I've witnessed before.
Hmmm I used to use House and Garden (I’m hydro/DWC) I switched to Advanced Nutrients Grandmaster line. I had always had a thick mat (rectangular sterilite tanks) of roots that completely filled the tank. With the Advanced Nutrients my roots were well there but occupied like 10% of possible area through harvest. Long story short Use Roots Excelurator (silver for hydro, gold for soil) the first 2 weeks of seedling stage and again for 2 weeks at the beginning of the flowering stage. You won’t look back. Oh when you have a coronary over the price keep in mind it’s very concentrated 1ml/gal dose so a liter mixes 1000 gallons (3810 liters). So it’s actually pretty cheap to use just not to start. My .5l bottle I bought in June 2017 is almost gone. I think it was $180 maybe
Been a slow week for root development, but finally witnessing roots moving towards solution. Also been a slow week for height growth. But plenty of sideways and new growth
2/9 Update. Completly changed res today and cleaned system. Added a humidifier and move air pump to under room floor
Hello @GrowGreen . Well if the space is your only concern you should try to use a peltier water cooling system ( thermo electric module ). It is basically a solid state heat pump. I use one of these ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V-240W-Semiconductor-electronic-Parr-Peltier-refrigeration-film-air-conditioning-water-cooling-cold-Aluminum-radiator-fan/32587957306.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000023.8.5ced696eIwqa8u ) with thermostat for every 25-40 liters of solution ( depending from the season ) that i want to keep cool. These modules can achieve really low temperatures. I also use it for DIY CPU water cooling. It makes things really cold. Happy growing !👊
Managing to keep temps stable now and even managing to get the light turned up to 600w. Good development all round. Adding co2 bag tonight. Considering getting a dehumidifier in there soon for when it's in full flower. As I'll have to keep the humidifier on to keep temps down
Starting to see some flowering development. Only the usual signs. Keeping temps stable now the cold weather is here. Hopefully see some good development this week
Plants are both doing well. Oxy Pot roots never established as well as should have but still have a healthy plant. Moved air intake today to a lower spot.
Good bud growth this week. Temps slightly higher due to outside ambient temps rising slightly. Starting to smell when handling. Going to invest in dehumidifier over next week.
Overall getting good bud development. Did have a few male pollen sacks on both plants. Less on Oxy Pot. But hopefully removed them all. Obviously a genetic trait carried from mother as these are bags seeds. No doubt created through the mother turning hermie to produce seeds in first place
Strong development as usual. No real issues to report. Other than slightly high temps. Looking forward to smoking this bag seed green. Strong growth all round.
for dwc would be more air and frequent water changes...................and keep em in the dark................................even little light gonna f... em up.....................thats how i keep my roots healthy......................
@UK420,
hi, there are quite many ways. Maybe you want to try clay (pieces) or salt or these passive dehumidifiers you can buy for 10$ in every supermarket
What's people's thought on water level and roots in an oxy system. I haven't used an aeroponic propagator to start the seeds off with a1 roots. The plant in the oxy has good roots but not flowing out of the net pot yet. My water level is around 2 inches under the net pot at the minute. Do you think it's best to raise water level to over the bottom of the net pot until there is significant root development
Was struggling with heat on week 1. 300w dual cfl light with reflector seems to keep the heat around the plants when fairly low. Raised the light to around 40cm in week 2 and temps have dropped around 2 degrees c
