First thing I want to say is: I'm doing this 100% legally with a medical license delivered by Health Canada (ACMPR).
Since I'm starting from clone let's use the germination week to talk about the set-up a little...
The clones are from Nineleafcloverdotcom, I ordered 8 Lemonatti and received 3 White Truffle as freebie. I kept 2 Lemonatti and 1 White Truffle as mother.
This diary is about 6 Lemonatti, I got 8 spot in my tent the others 2 are BeLeaf's Breeder Cut White Truffle.
The method of growing I use is Hydroponic DTW (Drain-To-Waste) in Air-Pot filled with 70% Coco Coir/30% Perlite, automated irrigation and run-off water management made from Floraflex parts and some stuff found locally at a hardware store.
I mainly use a mix of AC Infinity and Floraflex stuff.
Nutrients: I grow SynGanic (hybrid style, organic + synthetic nutrients)
I always start with RO water (Reverse Osmosis) the goal here is to start with the lowest EC in the water and remove chlorine, heavy metals and other contaminants.
I use General Hydroponics line (named Terra Aqua on this site), This run, I will try 2 products from Miim Horticulture for the first time Microbial Mass Pro and ChitoSal, I use Therm X-70 Yucca Extract as a wetting agent and this run, instead of going sterile using Hydrogen Peroxyde 35%, I will use Beneficials Microbes (Miicrobial Mass Pro) and Botanicare Hydroguard in reservoir as a good bacteria (bascillus)
The goal here is to keep the coco wet at all time and keep the root zone at a desirable EC range. We will irrigate often to lower the EC in the root zone since the evaporation and the water the plants drinks will rise that EC. Wet coco still keeps 22% of his volume in air that's why we can keep the coco wet at all time and the roots won't suffocate. Since the roots have access to water and air at the same time the grow is faster.
