Fast Buds 10 plant west coast og led coco grow

Your lights look good for higher goals. If you have good environment, temps and humidity. You can set s higher goal of 100 grams depending on nutrients and feed schedule.

You pre charged your coco, that's good i always do that. Probably the best thing for yield outside of lights and environment in coco, is the right sized pot for the plant and root stim early on. Build your biggest root ball early and water as frequent as possible. At least once a day by flower, I often end up on twice a day. Always get good run off. allow your pH to drift between 5.6-6.1 with preference to the higher side. You'll see your yields increase.

I found in my groom there is an inverse relationship between number of plants and yield. In other words I would prefer to grow 4 plants and achieve your total field goals. That way I could keep a close eye on all four plants and give them exactly what they need when they need it. Of course, it's taking me a few years to get my environment dialed in and get the skills to grow 4 plants really well., you're going to get those skills quicker if you grow less plants and watch them closer. In my opinion anyway

Little update they are all looking amazing as I have 2 west coast og that are a little deformed and def smaller than the rest the solo big bud is just loving the led light grows every damn day!! Just started using gh line nutes and they are taking off

Great input man, as the watering goes I was watering every other day as for fear of over water but I'll up it a bit and see how they react, and since I am going for yield I just can't rely on 4 plants yet, as if I fuck up a quarter of the harvest is gone, I'll be there soon though, when you speak of runoff, are you watering your pots on a tray? Because as you can see I only have them on the floor and I have not built anything under them which I can if you tell me too because I have unlimited resources and time, but for the most as of now they look great! Do you really think I can achieve 100g a plant in this setup man? As this is my 1st real auto grow with some actuall good genetics behind it

I also do not have a fan blowing air out only in, I leave flaps open , the tent is inside my house which is at 75 f , as far as humidity goes I'm not too sure I do live in fl so it's humid as hell out ! But like I said the tent is in my house, would this play a big factor in yield ?

Your temperature fine and leaving your door open with the fan blowing across your plants id exactly what I do.

With Coco runoff is real important. You also don't want your plants to soak that run off back up inside. So some guys Elevate their pots on a screen or something I have one of mine sitting on top of an old oven rack. Probably have a picture I can show you. Then the other way to do it is to take them out of the tent to a watering station water there and then move them back in the tent. That's part of the reason I grow fewer plants. The best way is to have some kind of a drain table. In my flower room that I am running photo strains I have a piece of vinyl Roofing that drains down to one end into a gutter and then that drains into a reservoir underneath. I pump it out every couple days.

So one plant sits on that full time and I lift the others up on my other oven rack that sits on top of a 15 gallon tote.

That is the watering station, that particular plant was a failed experiment, but i may pull 100 grams off it. It's in a gallon jar curing now.

Some guys buy special platforms in hydro shops, I've never seen one up close.

My homemade 8 feet by 3 feet. At one time I thought about buying a big tent and building a table like this and just poking it out through one of the side doors. It would be better to have some kind of table to drain directly down below the plants I would think and then collected in some kind of reservoir below. Even if you had to find maybe 4 big large Square trays elevat the plants above that could help.

Oh yeah I got a buddy lives down in Florida he's got pretty hard water what's your background parts per million total dissolved solids EC whatever you measure.

That can play a major role in your ability to get good yields.

i have a well system in my backyard, ph comes out around 7.0 flat i ph it down to 5.8-6.0, ill find my ppm pen as idk where it is but i do know i have one so ill get back to you on that tmw, and i see what you are talking about now i guess ill have to walk these babies to the bathtub with a screen over it to water them, man that is going to be a bitch. after this grow jingo i am running a 16 plant purple hulk auto grow, it is big budxgrand daddy purp, i want that grow to be perfect as the huge dense purple buds willl be to die for, so i will most def be fine tuning my grow tent and be building a run/off system, i am also thinking about buying a r/o system

 

[chachinG]

also im doing a staggered light trial and error typea thing, what i mean is that one day i raise the lights to try to enhance stretch and the following day i lower the lights again to bush it out, as i dont know the perfect height to hang them. i think that this may either be benifical to the plants by providing a diff spectrum every day but honestly im just guessing

 

[jingo]

My water is 7 pH 500 TDs so I use R/o water myself. My system is rated at 75 gallons a day but actual max draw is 25, since flow rates are based from soft water at 60 psi. I use a 14 gallon pressure tank that has a net of 9 gallons available, but that too is pressure related actual net is 7 gallons. So I pull 7 gallons four times in 24 hours and that's my max available to me.

Got a little crate today to get these babies off the ground I have 2 but I'm going to have to cut it down to make it fit
