Gtrmike's GDPurps & Triple Cheese Run - 600w 4x4 Ebb & Flo Show!

Did you figure out if the plant was a boy or girl?

Not yet they're being stubborn. I think regardless, I have to move on potting as many of these as possible in the next 48hrs. Get ready for preflower with what I can...weed out what I have to.

It should wick up fine, just need to watch that i doesnt retain to much water.

That's what I mean. I'm worried about the top half wicking up too much water. I flood every three hours for 10 minutes generally.

In pure coco i flooded 2 times a day and then would have to go to 3-4 times a day in flower.

Ya me too. 3-4 times/ day and once in the middle of dark. With the majority being in pure hydroton, maybe I could loose one flood cycle if it got too wet. Hmmm. Thoughts? 4 hrs too long for hydroton?

 

[gtrmike470]

I guess we'll see. I mean, it's only one Plant likely anyway. At least on that scale.

I never flooded the table during lights out. The plants are transpiring water through the leaves and not taking up much through the roots.

I can understand that in coco. But would you do it the same way in pure hydroton?

 

[Pennywise]

Probably not, i run my dewey misters 24/7

Nice looking grow there dude.

I have three Triple Cheeses going right now and their preflowers are a bit stubborn with the pistils. Many of the early calyxs never threw out pistils. If everything else about the plant is saying female, and your not getting any cluster type formation, then I'd say your chances are good. I'll see if I can snap a picture of one of my TC's pistil-less calyxs to maybe give ya something for reference.

Triple Cheese preflowers, both with and without pistils. Hope this helps a little...

Hey. Thanks for dropping in PK. I'm confident my TCheese is female. Thanks for the pics. I hope my GDPURPS ends up the same.

 

[gtrmike470]

Ok. Busy day. Potted up all I could that was worth while. Got the mini table running.

It ain't pretty, but they'll make it!!

 

[Pennywise]

Thats all that matters

 

[gtrmike470]

Ya. They'll be fine. Hope they're all ladies. We'll see what my final count ends up being.

 

[Dabby Duck]

Your ain't pretty is better than most people best.

 

[gtrmike470]

... I'm so mad at myself it's hard to open the doors. And SOOOO behind.

 

[Pennywise]

Whats up Mike?

 

[gtrmike470]

Oh it's cool. Tx P. Just disappointed with my situation. I know. Could be worse. All I've lost is time. And a few clones. But you know how it is, when you know you're capable of so much more. Now I have to alter my plans, and dedicate even more time to watch out for potential issues that I've created. LOL! Got to get the last of this rust off.

 

[Pennywise]

Its time for me to build my recirc quickly, no more plants in the big tent. .
