Hey brothers, thought i should make a journal and keep records of my 1st mapito experience.... for those who doesn't know mapito is rockwool cut up to small pieces.. i also added some foam to it cause it helps to aerate the wet pito... i will be using a flood table and 4x 28L crates filled with pito.. in this run i will be testing 2x clones per crate and from there i will see how it fills up... i started with clones on rockwool from blue dream plant: they took about 10 days to root and then i moved them into 1L pots.. after 8 days under 250w MH lamp they grown a bit: and 2 days after that pic, totalling 10 days in the 1L cups i moved them to the crates: they had 2 more veg days and than i moved them in 12/12 schedule using hps lamp dimmed to 400w... these pics are 2 day after 12/12 switch: i guess that's it for now.. peace!

hey guys... about to chop plants... they didn't end like i expected... fucked up on nutrition at some point and maybe they need couple extra days of veg.... waiting for clones to root before i can start new round... here last pics before i do chop em.. Peace, SB.
-
nice brother.. cool to have u back again...

Hey brothers, 8th week almost gone... expected them to be bigger... i'm not sure where i've gonna wrong with nutrition... i used soft water with pf without suplementing the calcium... i only started supplementing calmag later and i think i've missed the window... already took clones for next round... in 4 days they gonna be probably rooted and i will start pre veg... next round i change the strain also.... that's it for now.... Peace, SB.

it's my 1st real run on it dust...1st run i didn't go all the way thru and i think i haven't done the best job nutrition wise... i needed to act much faster than soil... PF also quite new for me... 1st run with it... but i'm quite happy with mapito... made the new clones yesterday and i will be ready for next round as soon as i harvest it. next round will have different plant... since i fucked up blue dream mothers and won't have enough clones to fill the tent... but next time i wanna do few things differently regarding space... maybe i won't bend them... or maybe i will top them... lets what i will be able to do.... thanks

nice... dwc is faaaast! great start!

hey bros... 6th week is gone.. i can see they are starting to pack.... and its snowing like finland inside... so sticky resin! i'm starting to think it's gonna go over 10 weeks... Peace SB
-
hey guys... 6 weeks gone, 4 left... 3 since it really started flowering.... lets see how this goes... still a bit for harvest date... started feeding PK and also raised the Mg, but dunno if it was enough... fed the thats it for now. Peace, SB.
-
hey bro... yes i still feed it every 3 days.. that's a cake recipe i follow... mapito has the fastest growth rate of any medium... yes, i found that 80L is too much, specially for the beginning.. now i make 60L res and keep refreshing it when it's like 10 or 20L... for the beginning it's best to prepare only 40L. Plants like fresh res, even tho it's been aerated... so it's cool to be preparing it at least once a week... i also never throw the nute away.. just keep refreshing the res... yeah, i used the foil this time.. i have the impression plants grew much more wide.. i think it was a mistake to bend them... maybe using foil itself would make plants go bit higher and less crowded... its my 2nd run on mapito but this will be my 1st harvest with it... learning also that plant needs mg around 1 1/2 week of 12/12.. maybe could have raised the ec.... dunno... next post i will upload some pics... peace SB.

hi brother.. i can answer all your questions... it's really simpler than u think... yes.. its really simple flood and drain table... or ebb and flow.... principle of feed is... fill the table up to max 1/3 of your pot size... plants won't drink the whole water.. so you get water back to res... mine is outside tent... same level as the table... i use bilge pump to get water out, from res to table or from table to res... mine is really simple boat bilge pump... something like this: answered above... mine is outside tent.. no extra cooling on the water.... i couldn't perform on dwc due to water temps... yes... yes i've thought of that.. but... but it's really simple as it is... if i had a huge room maybe it would be worth the trouble.. i barely do much as it is now... if i had things automated than i wouldn't need to do anything... with res under table, it's easier to automate.. since you only need to turn pump on and water would use gravity to go back to drain on the same hole it came out... but again if u using a tent and depending on the strain you would loose height... i opt for the other way.. simpler... i will make some.. whole process doesn't take more than 10 minute when feed is ready... if res is full.. i place pump in the res and turn switch on till 1/3 of crates size... than i take pump out of res, place in table, and do reverse process.. they drink maybe 20L per feeding... peace, SB.

hey.. week 5 gone... 10 week plant... let's see how it goes.... wondering if they need some extra pk... that's it for now.. any impressions?
-
thanks brothers!
-
hey guys... 4 weeks gone since 12/12 ... starting week 5 today... it was actually a little bit of mg def but i think its being controlled now... thats is for now... peace SB..
-
niceeeee... that will give us some time!
-
Day 16th of 12/12 the light was a bit too close... cause the plant in the middle got a bit of excess light...i put it further away.. looks like mg def but i don't think it is since all other plants are looking fine... what u say? peace, SB.
-
just some pics now that they are facing back up.. just to let know, plants still under the foil.. next tuesday is when they come off..

imagine if i had to veg for 30 days... no worries bro... i got it covered!! just relax and watch how it goes on mapito... maybe u will think twice about all the hassle u have to go with coco... and all the time and energy wasted on veg... mapito is dope! Peace, SB!
-
hey guys small update.. i has been 10 days since 12/12 and i flooded it for the 2nd time... i decide to bent plants a little and fill the space i had... here are a few pics, before and after i bent them: next tuesday, when it complete 2 weeks the foil gets removed... thanks is for now.. peace SB.
-
nice hermano... keep going!

roots in mapito grow so fast... they just rush to the wet layer in the bottom... no other medium grow as fast as mapito... its a fact... hope in the near future some of the folks be inspired and try it... you are right bro.. i should keep the foil and see how this will go.. otherwise i will never know.. have u noticed last time the plants were more stretchy? now my impression is that they are growing more wider... they should be out in 2 weeks... Peace SB.
