Mac's lovely ladies and some dudes too

@macsnax and @SCJedi. Okay things are going better on this round. While i am not at all sure i have them dialed in i was definitely not giving enough time to start working. They have all started dripping finally ( almost 48 hrs for a couple of them to start dripping). I also revisited the instructions They are saying to tighten 2 full arrows. I only tightened 1 full arrow on this round. I did have one that started to drip to fast and had to adjust that but that is the only one so far. @SCJedi once the drip starts does it stay dripping or only when needed.

What ppm are you running? And I can’t remember what your running for media but I take these would work on coco perlite?

Also big ups to Mac for finding the f2:mom of the CnC f3s made by @SSGrower , I believe, if I'm not mistaken. Real gems in those f3s. Wow. Way impressed with how that line was worked by you guys, just sayin

Only when needed.

For what it is worth I go through once a week or so and scoop water out of my reservoir pour it in each container and reset each carrot, primarily if the container feels lightweight.

Blumat recommends 100% coco. My ppm range is around 600 right now.

I have run my Blumats with 100% coco as well as 100% Tupur. I have Jack's 3-2-1 at about 950ppm. I do try to remember to add drip clean but often forget

@SCJedi how does the Jack's do as far as dissolving in the water when mixing?

 

[SCJedi]

I don't have much problem with anything but the Calcium Nitrate. I have to use hot water and stir and mix it often. I also put a small pump in my reservoir to move stuff around so nothing settles out.

Keep fighting the good fight man, you'll get it figured out.

Thank you man, I made the f2's though, so those f3's are all @SSGrower selections. However the last few pages of pics are all offspring of the CNC "starchild" pheno that made the f2's. She's a good one and breeds really well.

I've been doing that myself for the last couple months. I think it makes a difference on the runaways. There for a while everytime I noticed one of my coco pots got too dry, I would have a runaway.

I guarantee one thing Mac . On my next run i will have those carrots were i can access them a little easier. Basterds are are killing me having to reach the ones in the back corner. I got 3 more weeks to go and i am counting the days. Mac my next run i am trying the FlorFlex Quick Fill 2 gallon. If they work well i can not think of a easier way to go. Step 1 add water. Step 2 throw away or recycle.

I bought some a couple weeks ago, I've just been waiting on the next round, lol. I think that move alone will simplify and make the carrots operate smoother. We'll have to compare notes on these for sure.

 

[macsnax]

Can everyone that wants DDB f2's reply to rooster.headstashgenetics@gmail.com. Just say what pack you want and drop your safe addy.

 

[macsnax]

So @Capt C have you checked out the floraflex coco yet? Like the stuff that's in those bags you have?

No i have not even unpacked the box yet. When are are you starting yours? Also did they send you anything extra when you received yours?. I am doing better with the Blumats but far from getting them dialed in. Seems like about 6 out of 12 plants start getting to dry. I am thinking things will go smoother on the next round. I will set up a little different so can access the carrots better.

Ya they sent me a big ass brick of coco that I didn't order. Idk what that's all about, lol. Maybe you should hydrate a chunk and check it out. Quality is lacking a little bit, and I'm committed at this point with 8 1 gal bags on bm's. In the past I went to pre mix coco because I didn't like the quality of bricks. I'm kinda anal about my coco. It could just be my opinion, might save you a headache too though. A lot of pith, a lil grass trimmings, and a leaf.

I will check them out Mac. Those Blumats will be nice on the containers that small. My next go will be 12 2 gallon containers. I have been using the botanicare coco bricks for some time now and never had any complaints. I am to afraid of bugs in the already mixed stuff. What are your thoughts on the plastic grow bags so far. I personally have never grown anything in a square container.

I dig square pots/bags, better for the roots imo. And these bags are pretty sweet. I did expect that they didn't have holes in the bottom, but they do. Just a heads up, you'll need a tray or saucers.

Mac i forgot to tell you out of 12 plants none had any kind of root growth around the feed tube like yours did. Any thoughts on that? I have been using Extreme gardens Mycrohaze up until the 5th or 6th week of flowering. The plants don't really look they have any root issues.
