Heavens Shores - Bill's 2022 Grow: Come Meet Howie! Show Us Your Grow Too - Bring A Pic

[Bill284]

So you never give plain water, always a solution with REG, and ST? hmm, well then I need to step up my game, and stop using plain water!

Those are massive, for being in that small solo cup, what kinda sorcery?!

Those are in coco.
You get double the growth rate of soil.
But yes you have to feed coco every day , no plain water ever.
Soil is OK to give water though.
You don't need to feed soil every time.

Sounds like a winner. Bet the PAR numbers on that are off the charts.

I didn't think about that, however, since REG is 0.2, 0, 0.1, and ST is 0.5, 0, 0; does it truly count as feeding? x'D

No I put it in plain water as a root assistant.
In the Nutrients too sometimes.
In leaf spray too.

There are a couple 3 gals that will be uppotted.
The goal is 5 gal minimum but most will be 7 - 10.
I have 2 50 gal bags I planned to use but weather mites and a late start slowed things.
I have a few air pots I managed to save from the fire as well.
But that @MedicGrow is shinning like the sun in there now.
Hope you are doing well tonight my friend

up pot

1 gal pot to 5 gal bag




​

Lots of fresh perlite for rapid root growth

Root ball should sit higher than the top of the pot

For proper drainage



​

Everything should slope to the outside of the pot



​

Water will run to the outside edges

Then drain down the outside bringing the roots with it



​

I Have been bending the stem over every day



​

L.S.T. training due to short veg time



​

Tip. don't make a knot at the pot

I Move the pots around quite a bit

If I bump the pot it will come off

instead of breaking the stem

They’re really coming along now Bill.
Great work prior to flower starting.
Looks like you’ll have a bit of time to breathe now, even if they aren’t quite what you’d hoped for in the spring, thanks to those criminal bugs.

Cheers

Thank you, the light / heat is helping.
Couple more weeks and I'll flip to flower.
Everyone already has pistils and I'm not even in final pots yet.
I better finish potting.
Hope you are well my friend.
Thanks for stopping by.

This is gold! I already can't control the excitement of my next run lol

Exactly what I thought, when I saw the bill284 method, I got a bit excited and started popping a bunch with the Bill method! Already seeing great results, with the work of @Bill284, and @DYNOMYCO!

Been away from the site a few days; due to life's drama unfolding without notice or care - we're managing OK though. Then it took me another day just to get caught up on the thread! Now that was work Man, you know your sucking wind when you can't keep up with a guy with a splintered spine. Slow down man! I'll be reading your harvest entries while you're flipping the next gen!

Dude, if that neighbour of yours blows your doors off you'll never hear the end of it, so I'm relieved to see you're taking the threat of one-ups-manship seriously.

Glad too the light is working well for you, so cool to see it functioning in "supplemental" mode, it must spread some creamy thick PAR flux at 48", and DAMN!, it sure looks cool doing it. I love mine like another child, a child that spends 12-18hrs a day doing nothing but growing me weed.

Hope you're all back on your feet now and enjoying... er... the current season.

I now have so many pics and entries waiting that the back up is truly daunting. Hopefully things get back to normal soon and I'll have the time and energy.

Cant remember if I told you this, so gonna anyway! I'm thankful I filled my SIPs with some plants recently because I'd have killed off anything.... actually, check that, "I did kill off" anything requiring daily scheduled care. My SIPs hold 26 litres of water/fertigation so for most of a grow they offer a minimum one week supply, depending where I set the tent RH%. Adding a fully passive control bucket and large gravity res would multiply that many times, and I might get around to that next run. I dropped a small pump in each one to keep the ferts stirred, with a venturi on it that sucks in air from the filler, just to blow a little air up their skirts and remind 'em, that they're alive. No wild pH swings yet, mild ones either, I run pump evenly spaced 8 times every 24hrs for 15 mins, appears very stable system. I have some mild slow release mixed in but main ferts are synth and mixed into the sub irrigation, matrix 40 perlite, 60 peat.

Yer plants look great, given events, and the thread is a real eye opener. Thank you for making the effort. For those about to rock... we salute you!
