Syn Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Easy Jimmy ,,Keep on keeping on my friend Next time put a more esablished plant on the system and I think you'l be fine !Or water by hand untill they past the seedling stage then fill the resovoir ,,It's to easy to drown a plant in a grodan cube ,,Especialy seedlings ,,They can be fiendish to water !It could jus be the light but the cubes look a little green ,,These type of systems seem just a little to damp for seedlings to thrive !I would also recomend cube caps aswell http://www.hg-hydroponics.co.uk/3-rockwool-cube-cap---cover-2150-p.aspBlessings my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Update time amigos!Wow what weeks go quickly! And if all goes according to plan so I turn over to 12/12 next Friday! During this week, it has not happened much, the plants received a water mixture of EC 1.0 to 1.1 and I have struggled with the PH every day, overnight, it is from 5.5 to 6.8 to 7.2 but I checked up a bit and got more info on this and as long as it does not go over 8.0 everything is ok! Temprature is between 25-28c during the light hours why it goes up and down is because I have an open window in the room that the tent is in! I will change the water mix today to an EC of 1.5! And here are the pictures and the bottom is your link to a video link!Group foto!Kalashnikova!Super Bud!Super Bud #1 is now 12cm high!Super Bud #2 is now 6cm high!Kalashnikova #1 is now 12cm high!Kalashnikova the Mutant is now 11cm high!Hint: Unfortunately your browser does not have Flash Player installed or the Flash Player version is outdated.

Guest superbluehaze Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Jimmy, I would cut back a bit on your flooding cycles;the roots need to be moist but not wet all the time;the roots need more air and this will improve your plants.An air pump and air stone in your nutrient will help, but you are flooding them too much.In hydro you can over water by flooding them too much.The plants will still grow, but for rapid and vigorous growth, then you must have the flooding cycle right.try something like;4 hours off, 30 minutes on during light cycle just to see how the plants do, and modify it;the watering cycle may need to be longer or shorter; experiment with the watering cycle to get the best results for your plants.Mastering the water cycle in hydro to maximize growth does take some time;it does depend upon a number of factors, the main one being the environment in which they are growing,but the roots should not be wet all the time, but have long peroids of being moist without drying out totally.Being moist, rather than wet for long periods of time, not only keeps the roots healthy but enables them to absorb all the nutrients the plants need for vigorous growth. take carejohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Thanks buddy! But I dont have a flood system it´s a drip system! But I can cut down on the feeding and see if it come better! take care Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeu9 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hey Syn!Let me say that yours along with Johns post that should be it for Jimmys case! Well done, Syn! Would follow if it was my case for sure! Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syn Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Blessed Jimmy ,,I think John is bang on !You gotta love your Guru Time for a little fine tuning to to the irrigation cycle ,,15 minutes on / 3hrs 45 mintutes off for seedlings = 3 feeds15 minutes on / 1 hour 45 mins off for small plants = 6 feeds15 minutes on / 45 minutes off large plant = 12 feeds30 minutes on / 30 minutes off if your feeding big plants hard ! = 12 feedsLook at the above as a rough guide as all our plants are different ,,You'l soon get the hang of when to change your irrigataion regimes ,,Now I would follow Johns advice !Switch to 3 feeds a day = 15 mins on / 3hrs 45 minutes off They will soon take off as they settle into a decent wet dry cycle ,,Jah Heights ,,,,,Syn ,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I have now set the water flow In half an hour on and one hour off! I do not have the opportunity to put water in 15 min! I want to thank you all for the info and I hope that everything will be fine!Take care peaceJimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest superbluehaze Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 no worries Jimmy;but mate I think your cycle should be longer.Do not worry mate, the plants will do fine, as the rocks do hold a lot of moisure;they will not die, the roots will not dry out that quickly, if you use a longer cycle;if you do your plants will improve enough for you to see what i mean;then experiement some morewith your new cycle, the roots will still be wet all the time;I know how you feel,all growers tend to over water at first using hydro, but honestly the plants will do better if the roots are not wet all the time, but have long peroids of just being moist. some growers flood(i know you use a drip system) only once or twice every grow cycle using the same system as you are, and their plants thrive.It does depend on the environment in which the plants live,but unless your environment is really hot and dry(over 30c) then the plants can easily go from 6 to 8 hours before the roots start to become dangerously dry, and in most case even longer.watch soem of Green Houses videos on growhd;green house grow hydro but in rockwool, and they allow their plants when flowering to dry right out, so much so that Arjan easily lifts a 60 liter container with a large plant in it.Do not worry the plants will survive;sure make small adjustmenst at first, but there should be at least 2 to 3 hours between floodings or watering.ideally no more than 3 to 4 per 18 hour cycle, with one or two in the dark hours, one of which should be just before lights on.it does depend too on the size of the plants. Of course my friend it is up to you but I would go with Syn 's recommendations and start from there;I promise you that you will see a great difference in your plants in a few days to a week;make small adjustments at first, but keep in mind the roots need long peroids of being moist and not wet.take care, my friend;I know your plants will do fine no matter what, jimmy.john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Hello Hunters!Today is Saturday and that means I have to update again! The plants are quite ok some of them got a bad start but now things should be back on track! The Plant has got to be in the veg stage in 33 days and I think it is plastic enough, so I have now flushed and washed all tanks of all plants. Then they got a new water solution and a new lamp 600w HPS. They will now be light 12 hours a day! Ph is at 5.5 and E c is 1.5 to 1.6! Kalashnikov looks the best now but we'll see next week how it is then! It can happen so much in one week! Wish me luck! And here are the pictures and one vid!Group picture!The Super Bud #1, She have grown this week 4cm and are now 16cm high!The Super Bud #2, She have grown this week 3cm and are now 9cm high!Tha Kalashnikova #1, She have grown this week 7cm and are now 19cm high!The Kalashnikova #2, She have grown this week 4cm and are now 15cm high!And here is a vid from growhd.tv !!!Hint: Unfortunately your browser does not have Flash Player installed or the Flash Player version is outdated.

Jimmy Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks for your comment tokage!Regarding Kalashnikov # 1 so I do not know what to say, for all plants received the same water and nutrients! But I think the Kalashnikov # 1 looks better she has green paint on the leaves and she looks steadier out! I do not know if it has with the genes to do!?Peace!

albert1 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Does anybody know of any1 who has finished growing a set of super bud or kalashnikova yet? anybody smoked it even? i should be able to put a pic up of a finished pair quite soon. i must say that so far, the super bud is looking and smelling very sweet. nice hint of lemon to the smell but still full body skunk pong to it. suddenly got quite frosty towards the end and turning a lighter and limier green towards end also. the kalash stayed a similar shape to the super throughout and the smell resembles that of the super bud, but with none of the lemon hint that the super has. im quite surprised to be honest, white russian and white widow and AK that i have had in Dam before has usually been quite bland and just that same old musky dutch decent but standard kinda thing... this is looking alot fruity than any other of those that iv seen??? maybe iv just been unlucky with batches of white russian and white widow in the past???
