foxbberg Hey Friends!
Not only some new girls moved in...... i spent them brandnew waterbeds!!!
Lets start at the build:
- 30-liter-pots filled with perlite (85%) and coco (15%)
- 10-liter-reservoir underneath (pp 40x30x12 cm)
- Aquarium-water-pump, piping/hosing
holes were cut into the lid of the reservoir - 1 big hole right under the bucket, 1 for the piping and 2 for service/controll purposes.
......more holes were drilled into the bottom of the bucket. To prevent any obstructions i put some bug-netting into the bucket before filling it with perlite/coco mix.
Pumps push up nutrient-solution 10 times a day for 1 or 2 Minutes (1,5-3 L)
The Girls:
Gorilla Zkittlez clones by mailorder...... 4 completely different characters as i assume - a very unique definition of 'clones'😅.
Getting the Girls into the buckets was a bit tricky, since the lids are connected to the piping/hosing......
yet the entire handling of my diy-hydro-system is comfortable and everything seems to run flawless.
At arrival i only fed organics, ca/mg and silicate, then added our new GROWTH, wich has a slightly better nitrogen-composition than the original formula, on day 2.
slowly ramped up the EC from 0,8 to 1,3 as i cranked up the lights from 30 t0 60%.
VPD at 0,9-1,0.
next steps planned:
a little LST, raisng EC to 1,6 slowly
STAY TUNED👍!
