Aight my AFN fam.. the end is here. Thanks for coming thru with the kind words and good times. Hell of a ride.. you're all family to me.
:hug: "AFN smoke out"
So here's the final recap gonna be a lengthy read so it helps to get high as the sky before reading lol. I started this journal last year on my first attempt at a recycling drip system. I sprouted a Blueberry Diesel and a NYC Diesel, but drowned them from overwatering after about 3 weeks..
Drip Tip- Let the pots dry between waterings the first 20 days. After seeing good growth the first 10 days, I bumped the feedings up to once a day, the growth slowed down almost completely and took me 10 days to get them to grow good again. They could have continued on but I didnt want to grow stunted plants so I culled them and started fresh with a Cheese Candy freebie, and a Blueberry Auto Mazar.
The both grew amazingly well and took care of themselves. I highly recommend the BAM, the smell from my pheno is like fresh lemon peels with a spicy/minty/sweet taste when smoked. In the vape tho the lemon peel smell transfers deliciously to my taste buds lol. It's a lip smacking vapor. The Cheese Candy is high quality too, the high is powerful but it has a strong spice taste that is not my favorite. Her smell is spicy/sweet/herbal/skunk... its a funky smell.. CC was my top producer tho, she grew to be a huge branched out sativa bush.
They both capable of high yields, these two are my biggest producers to date. But it's all thanks to the Bodybuilding Theory. Instead of eating one big meal every few days, eating multiple small meals every day makes the plants grow like crazy. When u pair the bodybuilding theory with coco coir, the roots thrive and the you can see the rewards almost immediately in the growth on a day to day basis. I used 180w of light so the gram per watt ratio was very efficient which is great for me keeps it cheap to run and provides enough for me and my family. Overall it runs itself, I think im gonna stick to this method of growing for now.
I fed like this..
day 0-20
1x till runoff every other day
day 21-40
3x/day
day 41-end
6x/day
Some more drip tips.. do not skip a watering once she's used to the 6x/day... idk if it helped or not, but she definitely drooped for like 2 days and idk if it did her any good. Gonna skip that next time.
Next time im FIMing them cuz i think with this system they will benefit tremendously. Cant wait to try it.. i think it'll improve yields something serious. Plus I suck with LST... broke the main branch on the BAM. So a simple one time snip is better i think.. plus fadeds results with the technique speak for themselves. :thumbs:
Next grow I'm starting 1 Sour Crack by Mephisto and 1 Sweet Trainwreck by Sweet Seeds
probably not gonna start it for another month, maybe two.. im gonna redo my grow room. Im making an awesome drip table out of pvc that is hooked directly to the pot so it's gonna drain better and light tight compared to my shitty one i have now lol. Im also getting a new light. Now sure what type yet but im thinking apollo or something affordable thats similar.
Im getting a new 2'x4' tent too instead of the 3x3 i got now. I need to use my space better since im gonna put up a 2x2 for males! Things are about to be getting interesting...
Ill be kicking it around here till everything's up and running. See yall around!!
Thank you Truu for your help bro, your tutorial and threads inspired me to try it and you are spot on on everything you wrote. The results blew my mind bro, thank you for that lol. Originally my goal was a quarter pound TOTAL... I got a quarter pound plus EACH!! Man that was my funnest grow. To top it off my mazar won the BOM.. 2015 is off to a great start.
