I love this way of growing its what i learnt with so growing in soil is just way to slow, messy and i cant get the yeild out of it. Now to try and explain this lol. The water containing your nutrient gets pumped onto the tray. On the tray is the white spreader matt which spreads the water into a thin film of water that runs off the end of the tray back into the tank underneath. You then sit your plant on top. You need plenty of roots coming out of your 4"block before you place it on the tray. The pump should be on 24hrs a day BUT me personally put the pump on a timer randomly coming on for 15 mins every few hours. This allows the roots togo searching for water and that they don't know when their next feed is coming so when the water does come on the roots suck up what they can. The trays are slopped so the water runs off and doesn't pool and become stagnant. If you're talking about the brown 'jiffy' blocks that you put in water which then swells up. Hope that answers your q's πŸ‘βœŒοΈπŸ˜Ž

Nice garden! The CriKush is a warrior, big yielding strain!

@@hydrohippy, at 50% with the lights off, you should be safe! Also defoliating a bit could definitely bring the humidity down :) thank you very much! Good luck, watching !

@@SeedLover,I'm worried about bud rot as i can tell they will be pretty dense. My problem is temp drop once the lights go off. It makes the bud sweat in the middle.... My humidity was getting upto 63 at night so chucked in dehumidifier yesterday which has reduced it to low 50s now. Touch wood it stays that way....I could have done with them stretching a bit more but i think the yeild will ok. Nice yeild you got tho, nice one πŸ‘βœŒοΈ

@@@hydrohippy, had 3 peyote critical and 1 critical kush, got 580g from 3 peyotes and 380g just from 1 critical kush (which unfortunately I had to cut down way too early because of budrot settling in (70-90% RH was hard on the plants)). All four under 1000w NEW bulb.

@CRiSPrGrow, I do love my roots. I'm only half way through....the roots at the end will even more insane...they're like a thick white rug.... You should see what the roots are like if shit goes wrong :-/

@@hydrohippy, that root mass though 😲 insane ! the plants seem to be getting along just fine too !

@CRiSPrGrow, ive been using this method for at least 20 years and trust me mate this took years to master and I'm still learning. It's all about having plenty of roots to start with then not over feeding them. If you go by the recommended feed on the bottles you would kill your plants in 24hrs from burning the roots. Then it's about how fast the water runs off the table so the plants take up the feed. How warm or cold the water is....ph fluctuations...plus lots more Now you can see why people use soil lol

are they sharing a film?

@CRiSPrGrow, 2 or 3 plants a tray which share the same water/feed

@@hydrohippy, huh , so they'll end up each with their own film?

@CRiSPrGrow, They are sharing a tray in the veg room next to some tangilope clones. The c kush will be moved later in the week to flowering. :-)

This technique actually has me thinking about returning to hydro...outstanding diary man!πŸ‘

@Silverback_Guerilla, it is so much easier than carrying soil in and every 8 weeks...I buy rock cubes and spreader Matt for the roots each crop...cost me Β£10 and no heavy lifting...

How stinky is this one? bought some from a friend and it wreaked nice? Not sure wether to grow it beacause of that, got to go stealthy, and so far 3 out of 4 strains I purchased a few years back they were just to strong to carry on my grows. :(

@PannDanggDiddlyAngg, its not that pungent but obviously does smell. i'm a bit nose blind as i'm around weed all the time. make sure you causing a negative pressure in your grow area otherwise you will be forcing the smell out the of any cracks, doors or vents and obviously use carbon filter

@CRiSPrGrow, yes I think they'll just make it. I will keep a close eye on them.....they have matured up quite a bit now

Been using this grow as a sort of guide, exact same strain and slightly bigger nft tank I'm using with just two in each of them. thanks for putting this up with such detail great for novices like me. Much appreciated. Keep it up, good luck !

Hi, i just discovered this website, and i grow the exact same strain, you are just a few weeks ahead of me so this is very instructive for me. Thank you for sharing and good luck for this final sprint !

Honestly love this technique that you use... does the plant sit on top of a normal film or a special nutrient film? And then do you water normally or do you have a constant flow of water running through your tray ? Also just like to ask what the cube is called that the seed initially goes into? And can that be used to start a soil grow as well or only hydro. I’ve seen many people use it and it seems to work awesomely! Sorry for all the questions though πŸ˜… just curious :)

ho did you get roots like that to blow up out of blocks? I've got a flood tray with blocks, have it covered with badding on the bottom, using droppers, but can't get roots like that. hats your strategy

@Riles, in first few weeks of veg I let the rockwool get about 75% dry. I only dip the bottom half of the blocks with their sleves on in a weak nutrient solution and let almost dry and repeat til u have abundance of roots....check out the early weeks of each of my diaries

Such an awesome video! I went a little different with the flora caps and have a raised bed of rock wool for my first go round. I’ve also leaned by totes about 3Β° inward with shims and a drop of thinner plywood for drainage in the center. While not the same I hope to get the same effect. It’ll be fun to see what I can get out of these auto ladies. I’m already building the main tent exact to my same exact spec for some photo critic + 2.0. One thing is for sure that I HAVE to veg as tall as I want them with the HLG’s although the nodes are perfect the stretch is always minimal.
