Third time's the charm right lol thanks bro. :Sharing One:

I'ma post up a pic heavy update a little later, got everything set up and and the seeds are in the paper towels

What up guys and gals, hope yall are having a good weekend. "AFN smoke out"

Got my drip system set up a few days ago, been running water mixed with Cannazym, A&B nutes, and Drip Clean @ 0.8EC, just to get a feel for the system, flush out the salts from my last grow, and give the coco a good charge.

The drip lines came out pretty good I think, the flow comes out as a rapid drip, not a stream, so it's pretty gentle. The main line however kept coming off the pump after about 10 mins of pressure. Added a zip tie and it's good now.

All that's left is getting the timer on point, testing that now. I'm gonna hand water the first ten days, since they're seedlings they won't need very much.

The Blueberry Diesel and NYCD are in paper towels now, as soon as the tap root is out they're going straight into the coco

Here's the pics as promised, not much to see now but hope you enjoy!! Let me know what you think or if you see something wrong, let me know!!

JR's Poco Loco in the Coco - Blueberry Diesel - NYC Diesel - Recirc. Drip Sys...

Subbed..just going thru the thread... A little of topic but about the waterfarm/ airlift,, when aereated water goes thru the medium it suck air down into the res, the air hose is connected 1inch from the bottom of the pipe,, don't do coco in that system,,, coco fiber will fuck up the airlift,,,,
Im a top fed fanatic,, lol, 10 min ontime for airpump to res in 24 hours is more than enough,,,,
Top fed systems with leca/ hydroton do not need aereated water to work.. hydroton/ leca and water = aereated water,, anyways sorry for the rambeling im high on scissor hassshhh,,,
Looking forward to your grow,,,


Edit:
Like your setup

Question: So I should turn on the airpump only for 10 mins per 24 hours?? Just wondering why.. or are you talking about the other system??

Honestly this is the first time inhale read your log start to finish JAYAR, it's completely different to mine or anything I have ever tried. I like it though, you seem to have everything under control. We are going to give soil a bash after this coco run, then possibly try DWC or something like this next year, just so we have a feel for all the mediums and experience them all like.

Can't wait to see this ball get rolling, nice to drop in after how much input you have given me keep up the good work!

Pkay safe,

I was talking about leca/hydroton as medium, in top fed recirc..systems :smoke:.....
In your setup i would keep the airpump on 24/7.
I have no clue about coco,but know the basic (stikies) Thats why im hear to learn.
But do know that its the watering (amount / cycles a day, that will make a plant explode in grow).. (stikies),
Im going to try coco out in the new year. But need info first, (winter night time reading).
Stay green

I'm definitely gonna have to try my hand at coco when the time is right. If done right, it sounds like it can be pretty hands off

Great setup, JR! I've always been curious about drip systems, but never grew in one. Can't wait for the girls to be in the pots, Bro!
