ALIEN V SYSTEM HELP


Puffdiddy

Recommended Posts

Hiya 

 

I’ve recently set up and started running 8 x 58L pot v system from alien. 
I’m set up in a 3 x 1.5 x 2.2 tent with 2 x 630w Omega Luna Pro’s - 6’ carbon filter with revolution V2 

small fan heater and humidifier controlled by GAS enviro controller 

Keeping consistent temps of 27’ On and 22” off and humidity of 45’ and 55’ 

nutrient temps are 22 ( is that too hot ?) 

PH is 6.3 

my plants are 16 days old ( from seed ) and I put them into the system yesterday. I started them in Rootits and then put into Growdans before putting into the baskets. 
I have started them on the GH 3 part nutes with one dose of Pro Roots when I was watering by hand, and I added silver bullet roots - 
The roots have started taking off and are now into the solution on most of the plants.  
mum still only on second set of leaves - 
my questions are so numerous 

may I just ask for your guidance and help in what I should be looking out for - what I should really be doing to help my chances of a successful grow wit this type of system? 
Are there any things I should be really keeping an eye on now ? I almost feel a bit lost for things to do!!

hi, what ec are you feeding them?

aim for 0.6/0.8EC , and lower your ph to under 6, somewhere nearer  5.7-5.9ph. it will naturally rise over a few days.

If you havnt got a chiller, keep the res temps below 22 if you can. 

if you cant, get a chiller....

 

i used to run thier rdwc pro 58 litre system, it worked pretty well.

feeding them GH 3 part system at first leaves dosage ( about 300ml of each into 500L Resi - test and then pump in is how I did it and planned to do it - get the next tank ready before pumping out later today. It’s a 480L SYSTEM. When you say what EC are you feeding them should I be dozing down my nutes to hit the EC based on volume of water rather than just off the bottle 1ml a L type of thing ? If so I’m a bit high 
My EC is 0.8-1.0 

temp 22 

I’ve ordered a chiller this morning - I’ll need one as I’m in a treble garage , uninsulated and cold at the mo - 12’ day 9’ night it’ll definitely rise up a few degrees over the next month or so - thanks for your help

You've got to create a gallery mate.

It seems pretty difficult at first but once youve done it a time or two you will fly through it

 

 

Don't wanna be a prick mate but your not allowed to post links like you have done to imgur
