stu914 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Welcome to the second run of my new system, re-named 'GAVIE' in memory of my poor relative who's unfortunate enough to get torched most years... I've had nine ESB vegging for 28 days and they went today, the system has been tweaked and adapted to cater for 9 plants up from 5. These will be sexed, topped and trained to fill the space, depending on the male/female ratio I intend to make seeds for subbies and to keep the line going, never made seeds before so will be looking for help along the way. Pics to follow tomorrow... 'til next time Edited March 24, 2022 by stu914 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbloke Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just had a read through run No. 1, interesting diary, thanks for taking the time. I didn't understand some aspects of the system, any chance of a simple diagram showing how it works? Looking forward to seeing how the enlarged system performs. All the best for the run, following with interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu914 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Here we go with the upgraded and tweaked 9 pot system... 9 x ESB 30 days from seed sown New 9 way manifold, this is a complete ring with all feed lines to the pots equal length giving even pressure to each pot. EC 1.4 fed every two hours 24/7 'til next time Edited March 25, 2022 by stu914 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Here we are at day 4 of 12/12...and the system is working perfectly. EC 1.6 Feed 15mins on 45mins off 24/7 These 9 ESB have yet to be sexed and the males turfed out... Res and Room temps are spot on... Bit of advice here please.. I intend to take a couple of branches from the best male and collect pollen separately, (Big sucker back left looks like the chosen one) When should he be removed from the main room to ensure the others don't get impregnated but I still get viable pollen? Thanks Finally a couple of pics of the new upgraded 9 pot veg fridge. Open flow top fed via the white ring and one spout per pot. These are the tops taken as cuttings from the 9 ESB, 5 rooted ok the rest are lagging behind in the little prop tucked away on the right hand side... Thanks for looking in 'til next time 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Bit disappointing only getting 2 girls from 9 plants but it is what it is... The best male has been reduced to two main branches for pollen collection later on and the 2 girls tied down to promote the side branches, hopefully get the space near to full as possible...looks like a bomb site in there atm... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbillybob Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 that's bad luck with the male-female ratio mate, but im sure you will adapt, improvise and overcome. big scrog? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already 6 days in flower but there's quite a few side shoots so hopefully once the net's on I can get it fairly full. Still got to figure out when to remove the boy, don't want him taking up space under the net, just not sure when the pollen is viable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ok just read!) (one of those posts were i had to eat and do stuff before hitting reply ) have you still got the rest of the male plant laying around? if you have take some cuts and stick them in a glass of water coz you may need the extra pollen i’d take him out now or a in a day or two, they usually flower faster than females so can catch you out, spray females with water if your unsure about how close he is to vinegar strokes!
