In order to avoid the coco falling through the bio basket I will be using wooven Coco baskets made by GH. You also have to water it less and I think that the roots seem to mass up more effectively with Coco. THe main reason why I am going back is because of coco's ability to retain beneficial biologicals as well as nutrients for the plant to uptake. My previous grow was with Hydroton which had good results but I have been hearing that better yields and tastes can be achieved with Coco. My grow medium for this grow is going to be a mixture of Coco and perlite. All tubing and water containers (including the res and the buckets) are to be cleaned with H2O2 before being re-assembeled. I just cut down my critical mass grow and now I am ready to start my PG grow. Only the fittest should have the right to flower which is why a selective breeding program is so important. It will more than likely be over taken by other stronger plants and will cause you problems down the road. You are always going to have some plants that will not make the grade and it is expensive (especially indoors) to waste precious money and resources on flowering a shit plant. NEver put yourself in a situation where you are taking 10 clones to then flower into 10 plants. Of those 20 transplanted plants, the best 15 are selected to move on into the flowering room. Of my 40 clones, the best 20 are chosen to be taken from small rockwool cubes and transplanted to 4"X4"X4" cubes to be vegged. The remaining 5 are then transfered to the outdoor gardenĪ SELECTIVE BREEDING program is huge when trying to acheive large yields. The best 20 are selected then moved into the flower room. I can keep 3 full sized mothers and 20 veggie plants. Having the seperate veggie room is key to making this setup work. Evey room is doing something, be it vegging, starting clones or flowering. The setup is designed to be harvested every 30 days so each HH delux is set to 12/12 with the plants being set at 30 days apart from one another. Sad thing is that the damage may not be realised until days after things are corrected. Any consecutive days of temps over 90 will kill your shit or damage it heavily. This has been the greatest upgrade I have made since I started this in January. I had to add a 12,500 BTU AC unit and a high velocity fan to get my shit in check. To all of you starting out tring to go big, KEEP TEMPS AND HUMIDITY IN CHECK AT ALL TIMES!!!! Powder mildew and root rot is a motherfucker and can be avoided if you address your enviroment. Flowering rooms are a bit warmer usually maxing out at about 84 with good RH. Max temps in the Veg room are 80 with RH of <50%. Ambient temps never exceed 75 and humidity is 50% or below at all times. This is essential for both heat and humidity control. HYDROHUT Deluxes 8 X 4 (7' tall) (for flowering)ġ5 X 5 gallon buckets with baskets (for 15 plants)ģ X 6 inch oscillating ceiling fans (mounted in each corner)ġ X analog photosensitive cycle-stat timer (for watering)ġX 4X4X7 HYDROHUT (Vegetative Growth room)Ģ Sunblaze 44 CFL lighting arrays (4 bulbs each)ġX cloning hood (50 or so clone capacity)ģ X white 3 gallon square pots ( for 3 moms)ġX HYDROHUT (mini) Drying and curing roomĪll of the fans are connected to a custom manifold which vents all of the air out of the room. I plan on getting high quality pics in future posts.ĢX (yes 2) - Deep H2O cultivation + drip feed systems Pics that I have now are weak because of my shitty camera. I plan to complete my first Purple Grandaddy Grow (which will be my 5th overall) and will share all pics, specs and final dry weight of my grow. I have posted here before when I was a noob and I felt that it would be better to give back to you all and update you with what I have done.
