Hey everyone
Welcome to my grow journal.
A brief introduction. I am a commercial grower and have been a member and journalling here at 420 for about 7 years. I grow mainly Coco and RDWC but have grown in everything inbetween.
My journals are places of learning and questions and input are invited. I dont mind friendly banter but I wont tolerate abuse or putting down of members. So lets get this one started.
Set up:
16 Pot RDWC Pro Alien system
34litre buckets (wish id gone with 55litre but more on that later)
16 6" net pots
4" solid pipework
200litre collapsable reservoir backup
Japanese super silent airpump (will have to check lph)
The strain is Dr Krippling Incredible Bulk taken from clone. Clones are transplanted in net pots awaiting room build.
Space:
2.9x2.9x2m grow tent
9 x 600w duel spec hps
6 x cool tube
3 x gavita
10" rhino carbon filter
2400cfm box fan
500a hailea chiller
Nutes:
Advanced Nutrients PH Perfect Grow Micro Bloom
Advanced Nutrients B-52
Advanced Nutrients Voodoo Juice
Advanced Nutrients Liquid Tarantula
Advanced Nutrients Liquid Pirhana
Advanced Nutrients Bud Ignitor
Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy
Advanced Nutrients Sensizym
Ionic Hydro Bloom
Buddhas Tree Pk
Plagron Green Sensation
Great white mycorrhizae
Superthrive
PH Down
Bluelab EC/ppm meter
Essentials Digital PH Pen
Bluelab combo meter
So the clones are rooted in 4 inch rockwool cubes and a good size. 7 of the clones had been transplanted to coco, i removed them and shook off excess coco.
The Rockwool rooted clones will sit on a bed of claypebbles in the 6" net pots and the Coco transplanted clines have gone into coco in the 6" net pots. Its not ideal but it will show how plants can adapt and they will do fine. I actually fond starting RDWC plants in coco works best as you can veg away from the system and build great root structures using beneficial bacterias and fungi before transplant.
This will be living res as it give the best results in my opinion in RDWC when done correctly. I try to stay away from sterile res although i do run them occassionally.
So here we have some pics of the Alien system. Its still boxed and will be built on monday. These systems arent cheap but it shows in the build quality. A system of this size retails around £2500.
The 4inch pipework is strong but rigid. This system has 75cm plant centres. Im not sure what size water pumps are being used yet as I havent looked but I will go into more detail when i build and video the set up.
Here arw some pics of the clones. Note they are large healthy clones. The clones from the coco will need some recovery time due to being ripped out of coco.
Finally here are some pictures from my ongoing coco journal showing Incredible Bulk at 40 days of flower and some pics of the strain from a flood and drain set up.
Im sure i have missed out something but not too worry. Enjoy the ride
