Ladies starting to take off. Since my last entry in V week 2, I added a few additional pics.
It was brutal torture to me to start topping and LST with them but they have responded beautifully. I know everyone says, just do it and don't get hung up on snapping some or killing others....ugh, easy to say, another thing to "try out".
Equipment is now complete because quite honestly there isn't much more I can add - keep quiet out there.... I'm bloody done!
Have a filter for the camera now so I don't need to use glasses - great little "toy" Love the idea of photography as these plants are so beuatiful
Additions:
O2 grow electrolysis unit which cycles on for 30 minutes, and off for 150 minutes, alternating with the air pump/air stones.
Torus Hydro in line pH perfect unit
Problems: I added a thin, narrow adhesive linear sponge gasket along the long edges of each bucket so the lids rest on them in a manner of a "seal" just in attempt to stop the constant low volume dripping that was happening. Definitely resolved "lake juanita" that was forming on the floor. I resolved all the other bucket issues before SuperCloset contacted me but it was good to confirm my troubleshooting with them.
I'm not really keeping track of overall water consumption, just adding to reservoir as needed. Adding the Lotus Grow as recommended and monitoring through EC and pH. Seems to be doing well.
I would love to have a growspace like this. Your plants are looking super happy and I wish you luck that the autos will do well under 12/12. But I guess they will anyways.👊
