Love the speed of nutrient film technique. You cant beat it. Roots are taking off well Node spacing is really close on these. I've replaced my bulbs yesterday again after 6 months in the hope to speed things along

These are in the flowering room now as the roots want somewhere to go but still on 18hrs of lights til I get more height out of them. The tallest is 8" high the others average about 5" . The nodes are spacing out now dont like them to tight as it makes pulling off the bottom crap more difficult . I would normally only put 3 or 4 plants on one 5ft table but i'll set these off a bit smaller. I have pinched and bent what branches i could today to get these growing even faster. Also I've topped the one in the far corner and filmed the on the left and pinched and bent the tips too. Let's see how they react to this...?

Okay I'm nearly at the end of week 5 with this tangilope. I was doing a bit of HST on them and accidentally topped one so then i thought I would fim one as well as HST all of them. They'll all be going into followering 12/12 lighting tomorrow as i think these will take off. I've had the pump on 15 mins about 5 times in a 24hr period so the blocks arent saturated and those roots go searching Happy days so far. I love nft for the speed :-) Day 34 5/10/18 changing lighting hours to 12/12. I've changed the water tank today and keeping it veg feed for the next 10-12 days when I should see a flower coming on Tallest now 14" and the others around 9"

First few days of flowering so obviously no flower yet. The feed is still veg until first sign of a flower. They really are taking off now. The plant I fimed is doing great, it has lots of new shoots. The one that i topped looks ok but I think fimming may suit this strain as the big plant that hasn't been topped looks like its going to be fairly tall, she 20" tall already and the others 12" tall Day 44 the tallest is now 3ft the others a little smaller...changed the feed today to flower as one is now appearing

Had to net these beasts today as the tallest one is reaching for stars. She now bent over. Had to tie her branches up a bit as they were spreading out to far and couldn't get my gorilla zkittlez down the other side. Stripped all the bottom shite off today, now to let them bud up :-)

Start of 3rd week flowering and they growing like you wouldn't believe. I cant get accurate height measurement as the tallest is bent over majorly and the rest are soon catching up and growing through the net....the smell is awesome when you brush your hand up the plant. I've topped up tank twice in the week with half strength feed and again today instead of changing the whole tank as the water is replenished so quickly plus having a trunchen to measure feed strength really helps I'm gona get some wicked buds coming so watch this space.

Start of the 4th week flowering....I have had to pinch and bend these like you wouldn't believe as the fuckers are reaching for the stars and I aint got that much height. Some are getting to close light hence bending them out the way...their is one massive plant pushing everything out the way. The only thing with using nft and seeds is they go/grow nuts. I have more control over clones once I know how the plant grows

These monsters are looking good albeit slightly tall. Have 5 different phenos on here and took clones from them all hoping there is a keeper. I think pheno1 is a keeper going by the size of her buds compared to the others but then the proof is in the smoking the finished product. Added PK13-14 as it 5th week of flowering and added tank heater as water temp getting below 18c Roots all ok the staining is because canna aqua A is coloured red. Pushed the feed upto 1.3ec no sign of over feeding or leaf burn

Some colas are doing that shit foxtailing but otherwise getting fatter by the week. Only done half strength feed and a little pk to top up the tank...I think i should have waited til this 6th flowering week to start the pk as these are going to be a while before they are ready Really pushing the EC level to its limit as the tips are starting burn....the ec is flashing on 1.6, soon as the water lever goes down I'll piss the strength down with clean water

Start of week 7 and these are getting fatter by the day. I'm struggling to get humidity down in their night time even with a big dehumidifier...the plants are so big their isn't much more I can do. I can only hope I don't get mould as the are dense and I have gorilla zkittlez in the way make things difficult This is last week of feed then a two week flush. I chucked in some canna boost accelerator today...should have this a couple of weeks ago really

Starting to flush this week...humidity is a bitch at the moment over there night period even with dehumidifier it still getting to 60 odd % . Need these to mature up fast as even colder weather coming. I cant win at the minute.... I don't if to have inlet fan on sucking in fresh air from outside where the humdity is high? Or leave inlet fan off(and open tent vent flaps)with the chance of making the tent sweat out and causing even more problems I've added a 5ft greenhouse tube heater which seems to drying out the humidity its now dropped to 53% in the night period. I think it'll be better yet as i only just added it

Okay ive chopped out the other 4 beans of this as they were as finished as i could let them go before i had bud rot problems. The one plant left is a fucking beast as hopefully you'll get from the pic I took from underneath. I will have to chop this one down as each branch is finishing as will never all finish at the same time. Those yellow leaves are going to give me problems if they start rotting back before its finished maturing . If i hadn't bent the shit of this plant it would be over 6ft tall. Would love to cut out as whole plant to get a picture but i think that's impossible lol

This one particular plant was fucking huge. You never seen nothing like it for indoor grow. Had 5 beans on one table and took clones of all of them for any keepers. I haven't kept this one big one as it grows to wild. Out of the other 4 I have keeper which smells unbelievable and grows well. Would like to have left this one plant a little longer but was worried about mould as i couldnt get near it to check it....must be 10oz on this plant

@@hydrohippy, Hahaha blow up 😂 ahhh see I couldn’t risk losing the lot 😂 good thing I like about the Dripper system is all I have to do is top the reservoir up once a week and let the girls grow. Just keep an eye on the ph and ec. But I get what your saying about the cleaning though, got to stay on top of that. I Will have to look into nft a bit more I think! 🙂
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6y
@Kiewil1, it is good when running correctly. If you get root problems the whole lot is wiped out...I don't like the dripper systems with pipes everywhere as you get scuz and salt build up inside and it's agro cleaning and replacing it... Mg humdity is so high as a my bloody plants are like Jack and been stalk plants....plus there is 3 nft tanks full of water in the tent which really don't help....my dehumidifier guna blow up if it don't get a break lol

can u please tell me how u start this how long do you bubble the water before u use ph down and the nutrients? fuck me i have fungus everytime i add nutrients
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6y
@Reaper, At the end of the day ph down is only phosphoric acid so I don't think brands really matters. Do you rinse your clay pebbles before using them? The amount if shit you can wash off these is unreal, that could be the cause of cloudy water. I only use canna aqua for recirculating systems. It could be the plagron food you're using?? Also airstones will throw out your ph massively. The NFT system I use is a piece of piss to use, just fill it with water and feed and switch on the pump. Make sure your plants have plenty of roots and away you go....the nft system i use is made by nutriculture. Check em out.

@@hydrohippy, thanks im using ph down from (GHE) is that shite? i do seedlings now in dwc for weeks and everytime the water goes cloudy, no nutes just ph down and airstones, water goes cloudy and ph to 7.2 0.o im about to give up dwc but i neeed the yield for money
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented7y
@Reaper,Hi I grow using nft tanks and not dwc but the principal of making up the nutrient solution should be the same. I never ph first as the food changes the ph hence doing after you mix up the feed. I've never used anything but canna food.  I use tap water straight away I don't bubble it for any length of time.  I fill tank with water then add nutrients A & B, let the pump mix it for half hour then ph it.  I ph it again the next day  If your water is getting to warm or your food is old it can go funny. Ph'ing b4 u add nutrients shouldn't make it go scummy it would just throw your ph out when u add food after
