I am in rock wool. I think it holds more water than whatever you are in? 9 days may have been too long. I still have ~30% water in the blocks after 9 days. The 6" rock wool cubes hold almost a gallon of water to start!

After about seven days I start hefting them in case they get light faster than normal. I have gone as long as 11 days before the first fertigation to 20% run-off. Then I wait about 5 days to start daily fertigation to 20% run-off every day til harvest.

Good info! That's my favorite part about this, constantly learning! I'm a bit of an egghead nerd trapped in an ugly rednecks body.

I soaked the coco thoroughly before planting and ran the humidifier hard to keep it at 55% the first few days and the pots still had some weight. Maybe not enough.

I think they're gonna be just fine though.

Also I did this tonight while enjoying the Somango. It came out superb.

So I needed a stand for the drainage table and am too broke to spend over a hundred bucks on a commercial one.

Built this from leftover 3/4" pvc. Put both my 60+lb dogs in it and it's very stable. Just enough room under to put a 3gal bucket to catch runoff.

I also have a second 4x4 coming from a friend, so I need to get another one. Lol.

Very well done.
 
Fastbuds Green Crack - Day 21
  • Index
    • Day 21

    Bumped A&B up to 6ml/gal
    CalMag 5ml/gal
    Drip Clean 0.4ml/gal
    3ppm HTH Shock

    Bumped up my watering times - following @Mañ'O'Green advice and coming out pretty close to the same schedule with a few tweaks.

    I'm thinking of piping the drip system from the res to the manifold with 1/2" pvc rather than the 1/2" flexible tubing.

    I'm acquiring a second 4x4 from friends in trade for my 2x4 this week. I will run the two Spider Farmer SF-2000s that I have in there while I save up for six more Autocobs (I want to run five in each tent). I have a second Floraflex setup on hand already, as well and a second table, I just need to build another stand.

    I plan to build a pair of plenum boxes, so that I can run one of my ACInfinity 6" fans as an active intake for both tents, and the other ACInfinity 6" fan for exhaust from both tents.

    Here's what I mean:

    Now I just gotta get my hands on four more autos and I can get them going!

    I did, but I couldn't help myself! I like to meddle and can't leave anything alone. LMAO

    They were looking at me funny and I just had to get it on.
