Dutch Passion Auto extreme - 2400 watt - 12 plant - hydro grow

Only waiting on one seeding to pop it's head. I checked it, and it's almost got the seed casing off. It'll spring up tomorrow. Had to break out the old DIY Cloner. Hoping to keep these girls in here for a couple weeks. I may have to cut up the lid to get the plants out without damaging the roots, but it's all good.
I've got two airstones bubbling away in the res.
Only about 6 gallons of solution in the res.
Solution is nothing but 50/50 water and Beneficial Microbe Tea.



Some PVC, a few Mister Nozzles and a pump. The sprayers are on a timer to turn on for 15 minutes every 3 hours.


Hard to see the taproots, but 9 out of 14 are showing.


I was out of rockwood so just used some Coco-Coir seed starting pucks and wrapped the netpots with pantyhose so the coco doesn't fall into the reservoir. Once I transplant them, it won't matter. It's working great so far.


That's all for now.
I'm guessing Friday will probably be classified as day 1.
And we're off.
:cool:

Day 3

Hey all. Quick update on Auto Extreme.
One seed just didn't take. Saw the taproot coming out, but it turned to mush.
Probably the coco starter plug being too wet.
13 out of 14 isn't bad.
Sure I would have gotten them all to spring up if I was using rockwool.
The roots are looking great for day 3.
All of them look great. Happy, healthy and ready to produce.

Seems I'm off to a good start this round. :group:

ALRIGHT

So, I decided to build a totally new system for this grow.

I want a more modular system where I can move things around, or harvest plants as needed
I'm going to build a 12 bucket Flood and Drain system.
Pretty much going to be modeling it after this system.

Here's the float valve I found at USP.
Here's the rubber grommets I'll be using.
Here's a good place for 3.5 gallon buckets. You can get 15 for like 70 bucks shipped

Same grommets I've used on my other systems. They work great, and don't leak.
I've already got the digital timers, 10" netpots, Pumps, and 55 gallon reservoir.

I'll need to pick up some odds and ends, but it'll come together fast.

Stay tuned, and if anyone wants any info on building a similar setup feel free to ask any questions.

Peace.
