bottomfeed

Day 17: All aboard! After a several-month hiatus for work on my house, I've got another grow in motion. The tents have been set up for a few weeks, but since contractors have still been dropping in without warning it was strictly peppers and tomatoes. Once the nights are consistently warmer...

My next batch is up and running. As usual I've spared you all posts from the first couple days, waiting for them to sprout and so on. Same setup as before: 2x2' / 60x60 cm tent, reused 1/2 liter polypropylene food containers (ice cream pints) full of coco and hydroton, bottom-feeding with...

Time for a new batch. I started soaking the seeds on Christmas, most are 14 days from sprout. It's pretty much the same setup as last time -- I'm growing in a 2x2' / 60x60 cm tent, in reused 1/2 liter polypropylene food containers (ice cream pints) full of coco and hydroton, bottom-feeding with...

Do any of you have experience with using an autopot aquavalve to bottom-feed a tray of smaller containers? I want to set up automated watering, and using an aquavalve seems like a good fit because I've been bottom-feeding small containers for several grows, just watering by hand. I like that...

I've got a new batch of autos going: 4x Wizard's Apprentice regs (Night Owl) 2/4x Wild Thailand Ryder (World of Seeds) 2x Walter White (Mephisto) 1x Mango Smile (Mephisto) 1x BB#3 (Night Owl / Dark Horse collab) I've tried to grow most those before but ran into problems -- I had a few WAs...

Like my previous journal, I'm growing in a 2x2x5'5" / 60x60x165 cm tent (Secret Jardin DR60) with two 60W 3500K autoCOBs. My lights are 20/4 this time, it's no longer winter. Instead of solo cups, I'm using translucent plastic ice cream pint containers I've drilled several 3/8" holes through...

I started this batch on Halloween, it's about 15 days from sprout. A few earlier or later, and there's one Ghost Toof tucked in the back that I started ~10 days after the others. I'm growing in a 2x2x5'5" / 60x60x165 cm tent (Secret Jardin DR60) with two 60W 3500K autoCOBs, using 24/0 for...

I've been growing in 1L airpots in coco, watering the tray and letting them wick it up (bottom-feeding). Here's how I set up my airpots: First, because the base sits in the space between the inward facing holes, there's a small air gap at the bottom. Eventually the roots will grow past this...

Has anybody else here had success with zero/minimal runoff coco grows? What approaches do you use? I started out by hand-watering coco to 20% runoff every time, because the Coco for Cannabis site insisted it was required to prevent salt buildup. That quickly got old, so I set up automated...

Grow overview: This grow will be 2 West Coast OG Auto by Fastbuds. One will be mine & one will belong to Mrs H'Ghar. The light I am using is a custom built strip light in 3500k which dims from 160 watts to 330 although I am unlikely to raise the power above 240 watts at any point in the grow...

4*4 ~3L pots in 60*60cm tray/tent. Straight coco, start topfeed then just poor nutes in the tray. 150w HID or old MarsHydro 300w? Aiming for the KISS 1gpw+ :D Not sure 4*4 pots in 60*60cm counts as high density sog, perhaps go 1L pots and 6*6? What do you guys think? I have everything ready...
