Thanks Lewy! Welcome! Pink Kush is a great strain, I'm pretty excited about mine.Hi Dobewan I’m going to tag along and watch if that’s ok. I’ve got a Pink kush seedling I’ve just started. Nice looking plants mate.
Thanks Ase! I was really lucky to have people like you, PW, Blaze, and a few others encouraging me and answering my many questions when I was figuring things out. I went into this determined to figure out what worked and what didn't by doing and to be unafraid to experiment. I thought the proof was in the pudding when it came to your plants. They looked amazing, and the way you described how you went about growing them seemed to make sense. I'm a logical person, so it was easy to just latch on and try to emulate it. And in the course of doing so I feel like I learned all about how this stuff works. So I owe you big time for that! Hopefully the day will come when I can share the outcome of all of this with you!I will say that I no longer use the racks and drain tables. However they were instrumental to me in learning how much water plants can take at different phases. I now just use just saucers and I pretty much know the whole way through how much water a plant needs each day to get very little runoff but enough to know the water/feed got all the way to the bottom of the pot. If by chance I over water a little I just suck it right out with my wet/dry vacuum but I rarely use it.
With all that being said I highly recommend the setup Dobe is running for plants in a coco. It's so hard to make errors because you can see the runoff and then you can see how much of it came out in the drain table to know if you are over watering or under watering. His is probably even better than mine was because it's all individual for each plant and can be moved around, whereas mine was one two big racks with just one whole flood table. But the racks and flood table were free so I can't complain.
Since Dobe keeps giving me credit, I'll throw a little credit back at him. I have been teaching in my journals about quadlining and how to grow in coco for a couple years now. Some people relate to just the training and others relate more to the feed schedule but Dobe jumped right in and decided to do it all. He was the first one to do that and it gave quadlining and the way I grow a ton of legitimacy because his plants were drop dead gorgeous. If they didn't turn out that way quadlining might not be a thing like it is today. He probably didn't know all that at the time but looking back he was instrumental in showing other people that this was a real thing and it works. Based on that confidence other people started to try it and now there is a small army of quadliners and I've even seen it on other forums. He is a great grower and I will forever be grateful for that. As everyone can see, the plants he has running now are looking spectacular and off to an incredible start and I expect this grow to be another awesome one.
