Call me a yoghurt weaver, but I wouldn't put any of those on my garden either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFUS HOUND Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Ive been eyeing up my boilers condensate drain line, handily located in the loft okay,okay, all very interesting but enough talk on what people do with their run off LOL. meanwhile back at the ranch...... The 135w tube heater has been struggling to make the min temp in the 4x2 tent, after LEDS go out, so had to reduce the extraction a little to bring temps up. I might change the lights on time by a couple of hours, so lights turn off a little later at 9am (instead of 7am currently) to help get past the cold period. Still playing around with my irrigation system, the smart plug works a treat for scheduling control times. Still need a few bits and bobs to finish off - been looking at these steel manifolds with built in valves to give easy control of individual flows to each pot - thats the theory anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus bach I myself growing in coco or mud.....I'd only get run off once a week this myth that coco needs a constant leaching is beyond me..... but there again I'm now retired and I know nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosser Hughes Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I'd only get a good run off once a week even in flowering stage fully rooted pots for 6 days in a row I'd get about 300 ml run off watering an 11 litre pot 3 litres each Once a week I'd give them 4 litre that would give me about a litre run off Now I've set mind's boggling but I grew terribly sick plants Edited February 27 by thekingofobsolete spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFUS HOUND Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 popped some Seedstockers "Thunder banana auto" over the weekend and while I was at it took a few clones from the TBL No.3 plant (best of the bunch) and put them all into jiffy pellets under a dome (upturned storage box) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFUS HOUND Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 2 of the 6 clones have gone very droopy when the humidity dropped off. Ive sprayed the inside of the dome and lightly soaked a sponge and chucked that it as well. fingers crossed they recover but they cost me nothing so no great loss. 2 of the thunder banana are up, just waiting for the last one now. forgot to mention I adjusted the ph of the water that the jiffys were soaked in to a ph of 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive removed an extra leaf or 2 from the effected clones to help reduce transpiration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
