stu914 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Here we are at the end of the week and everything in the garden's lovely... I hope OT1 is looking down on these ESB babies and approves of what I intend to do with them... Meanwhile next door, these wedding cakes are 8 weeks tomorrow... This breeder has 60 days on the pack so a res change and flush for a week should just about have them cooked nicely... Very convenient being able to remove individuals from the table for a photo opportunity...among other things... Here ya go root perv @badbillybob...and this is only what's through the drainholes...imagine the goodies inside... (Don't get all excited too early mate, don't want anything to be premature...) On the home straight now and really pleased how this system has performed, however, the proof will be in the finished product. 'til next time 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Chop Day at 9 weeks tomorrow... They've been flushing for 6 days and are now falling about all over the place...proves a mesh is needed and there's some weight to the buds. Pics to follow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Bong Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Really impressive grow Stu, you obviously know your shit. I noticed earlier on in the grow you went 50/50 grow and bloom nutes. Is that the usual way? I ask because I went a week after flipping 12/12 on grow, then done a res change and straight to bloom. Anyway, looking forward to the harvest pics, they look frosty as fuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu914 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 @Monty Bong Thanks for the kind words bud, chuffed to bits with my new hydro system, some of the best buds I've ever grown. I've always gone 50/50 grow/bloom the first week of flower, no idea why, it must be something I read many moons ago and done it ever since, probably doesn't make much of a difference and your method works just as well. atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, sorry about the multiple posts above, not sure what happened, I got a server error message, then when I checked, my post had come up 3 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu914 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 @mysticriver Yup, it's an enclosed recirculating system, the whole area underneath the table is a 100ltr res, it's a modded flood & drain system. I'll be doing a summary at the end of this trial and explain why this is better than F&D (imo of course...) If you're thinking of trying anything like this tag me.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botanics Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Top job maestro! Aye, you've gone and done yourself proud with this effort and demonstrating the art of water working perfectly. Plants look the bollocks fair play bud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) @botanics Cheers bud, appreciate the comments... I'm more than happy with the way this has turned out, started in trim jail this morning and just happened to have a bud from this grow sitting overnight on the rad which was ripe for vaping earlier today... How much earlier I'm not really sure and tbh really don't give a feck ...and this only 24 hours off the plant... That's the bud ripe for vaping, not the rad...ffs Edited March 20, 2022 by stu914 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
