Three weeks of flowering. Everything is ok. I try but I don’t see the difference between groups. Four days ago, I changed the bulbs, now three Green Power 600w illuminate. They drink a little less, but enough (together drink about 30l per day). Feeding is
The first group
Coco A&B 1.5 ml/l 1500uS,
PK 13/14 0.6ml/l 1700uS,
Atazyme 2ml/l
The other group +
Coco Booster 1.5ml/l
Bloom Stimulator 0.5ml/l
PH 5.6-6.0
Yes, I have timer, two times a day during the flowering stage. The first time is at dawn, the second time it pours up to 4 hours before lights off. I tried 8 times a day, no difference. It depends on size of pot, smaller pot should be watered more often. Drip irrigation isn’t reversible. Drainage is approximately 30% of the solution.
I can’t say anything about the formula, it's never bothered, but it is 7-5-13 NPK on the packing, you can see in the pictures. I always use prepared nutrients.
Now I give solution 1200-1300uS. After 2 days give 1400 uS, after 4 days 1500Us (1500uS will be till the end). I add only PK 13/14. The total EC doesn’t exceeds 2000uS.
I follow the experiment! Bro, thanks for your explanation about sprayers. Do I understand correctly that sprayers have timer? (How often do they drip). Is drip irrigation reversible?
if it’s not difficult tell how you pour.
Thanks in advance
P/S It's realy cool!
Great growing!
I have couple of questions. (I think, it’ll be useful for everyone)
1. Is there drainage in the pots (polystyrene, expanded clay)?
2. How to calculate the amount of watering? Plants are growing, drinking more and more
It is not clear with irrigation : during the growth of plants is the timer programmed in the direction of increasing intervals of pump's operation, but how does it calculate?
I count irrigation on the basis of drainage. I pour with drainage in 30% every time. For example bushes drink 30 liters per day. 30% of 30 liters is about 10 liters of drainage. If 7 liters leaked, I increase the time on the timer. If 12l – decrease. Of course, small plants can be watered with a minimum leaking and all will be well. During the growth I begin to measure the solution and drainage. After one cycle with your own irrigation system, you will already know how many plants are drinking and how much to pour.
About drainage. In the beginning, I had put to the bottom expanded clay and foam. Over time, I refused this. It's no matter the pots are 3 or 10 liter. Everything wonderful grows.
The height of bushes is 90 cm on the average. The distance from the floor to the bottom is 35 cm, the distance from the lamps to the floor is regulated, you can see it in the first page of this diary.
Classy report! I see extensive experience in growing, not far from 1gr/W, and plants look properly. The concentration of the fertilizer is not much high, but you know best in this matter. And about the smell… as I understand, you have only one filter 500. It is not enough even for half of your box, but I think you know it.
I say again, everything is fine, nice to look at the ideal
The roots are not thick. But I think it’s normal in such intensive cultivation. They need time to develop the substrate ... The color depends from the photographic equipment and coconut.
cool! I look forward to the harvest. May be density or tarry will be changed? What else can be the difference? At heart, I convinced that the differences will not
The fertilizers cost about 50 euro:
A+B x 1.5 l = 10 euro/l
PK13/14 = 10 euro/l
Enzymes 2l x 12 euro
Boosters cost about 80 euro:
Coco Booster 23 euro/l
Bloom Stimulator 1.5l x 37 euro
It is roughly 60%.
