Twisted first hydro attempt

[Twisted]

Hi Twisted, I knew I;d read it somewhere that theres no need for any extra stuff with them 3 part ferts you got...

"Why buy grow nutrients, bloom nutrients, a CalMag and a PK, when you can grow from start to finish with just three bottles!"

https://www.terraaquatica.com/mineral-f ... s/tripart/

2nd paragraph down on their sales pitch!

A right thats handy to know then deffo won't be adding any calmag etc on future, I changed the res yesterday and used just the 3 part and silver bullet.

I bought a tub of grotek monster bloom as the guy who was helping me told me to get it, I may aswel use it I think or its just a waste of money. Wish I could have 2 separate systems to try it with and 1 without

I'd stick to the 3 part feed schedule for now, it seems to be tailored to be an all in one solution. That pk booster will be fine sat on the shelves for a while.

Will do Marcus thank you buddy

Here they are, still a bit light I think but upped the feed last week its at 2ec now.

I'm really struggling with temps got 2 heaters in there and still going down to 13c sometimes going to try reposition the heaters today see if that helps.

Also I'm going to flip em today I know the temps etc ain't stable but its been way too long now and with the electric bill I can't keep vegging forever.

Yes flip the fuckers they will soon green up sand they become much hardier plants and should be take bigger temp swings too if ya turn heater down a little.

A thought for ya to save putting loads more cash in juice box during in winter. Would it not be cheaper growing auto`s running hps lighting 24/7 like PauLED does from time to time. I mean 400watt hps will still grow you big fat ass stinky buds close to what a 600hops does, well not too far off anyhow and also heat the room enough without need for any typo heaters. But if ya have 2 x 1200w heaters or even higher wattage leccy heaters running during dark periods, o would think it would be cheaper running lighting 24/7 with autos so long as it adds up to less wattage than your heaters. Just little things will save you cash, i mean what wattage are the heaters your running full pelt at ? Obviously im talking about using hps lighting here not led

Maybe look at the newer style ceramic heaters they said to be cheaper to run, they heat space a lot faster than oil filled rads and are said most efficient typo leccy heaters, but they do need more space to run safely and even more space if its a ceramic fan heater, best have a read up on them first online firstly int it. Possibly look at turning your extraction fan right down that should help a little.

I think the EC is too low. Get it up to 1.6 and reckon the plants will thank you.

Yes they do look really hungry.

You know what hungry plants look like @Twisted If your flooding ther pots every 3 days with such a low ec obviously they will need a much higher ec cus theirs gonna be nothing in your pots fert wise for your plants to feed from in no time at all, where as if you were to be flooding the pots x3 daily you might have got away with running such a low ec cus your adding x9 as much fresh ferts to your pots with more frequently than you do every 3 days. . Long and short of it all the more frequent you flood the pots you will get away with running a lesser ec where as running with longer periods between your floods is gonna require a much higher ec.

I use silicon from day 1 or their abouts.

That's a Jungle Twisted . I've been down to 10c the last week in mine, be fooked if I'm heating the space, they will have to deal with it. These look set to explode into flower, serious trim jail is incoming.

Are you following the feed schedule?

They need flipping soon or you will be in trouble. They'll take over your house and you'll be sleeping in the shed!

If they're still wet the next day before the next feed, keep at it, if they're drying the medium out then I'd probably flood lights on morning and lunchtime.

Won't hurt to up that grub a bit too. But they look good, so flip the switch and stand well back!

I've got an oil filled rad in there and a normal fan heater but the fan heater gives of that red glow so taken it out for the minute as I'm worried about all the light coming from it during lights off, or is that light ok?
