yep, im doing it white, just got lazy with all the other stuff

Started with D soil sensor from wintopcom
Stuck it in below of the rockwool in one auto
Started reading the parameters with the meter:

FLOWER 1-2WK
TEMP INSIDE THE FLOWER ROOM 24C, RH 54-58%

Sensor in Reservoir:
- AN connossier bloom part a & b
- AN Big bud
I put something like 13ml a, 13ml b, and 8ml big bud in 10litres of water

EC ( Gives a reading of 8000 us/cm = 8 EC, but when I check it with ec meter its 2 EC, so it gives an error reading when directly in water)
PH 5.7
TEMP 22
RH 70 % (maximum setting)
N 1500 ppm
P 2000 ppm
K 2100 ppm


Sensor in medium during feed time 15min, wilma blue drips every 3 hours : ( sensor below the rockwool 4x4, hydro / coco )
EC 3.2
PH 5.7
TEMP 22C
RH 68%
N 900
P 1600
K 1800

After 3h, before next feed
Sensor in medium feed time 15min : ( sensor below the rockwool 4x4, hydro / coco )
EC 1.7
PH 5.9
TEMP 23.7C
RH 47%
N 430
P 800
K 900

.................

Plants are doing fine but I think my feeding liquid is too low on N so next day im giving it a bit more grow liquid read that it should be more still, but there are so many diferent nutrition advices for flower 1-2wk. im like having something like 1-2-2 with only bloom nutritiens.

Also starting to get to know more of the medium EC some say it can be around 2 all the time, some say it can be at 3 even when not feeding.

My RH lowers from about 70% which in this meter is maximun to 47% and then feeds again, I dont know the specifics but I think this is ok, not too dry because of the heavy drip feed program the medium doesnt get to go to 30% easily.
Any way they are intaking half of the nutes in 3h dont know what to make of it accurately, have to investigate more

Feel free to comment....

Advanced nutritions official advice is 4ml of bloom part a and 4ml of bloom part b in 1litre of water.
If I do this and measure with my EC meter it gives something like 3-3,5 EC

Im only putting like 12ml per 10litres of each + half of that big bud and it gives me 1,8-2 EC in an accurate ec meter

So this is one starter question for somebody am I doing something wrong ?

All the sciency type stuff and manufacturers measures, tools and equipment are great to do and keep you busy,involved and interactive, however, imho the most important thing to keep in mind is " if the plants are doing well YOU are doing it right".

OK, I'm biting. Will be my 4th grow, first three were all-water hydroponics, 3-4 oz yields,
GH trio nutrients, RO water, CalMag, Silica. Rig is in progress, will hand-water for a bit
to have time to build a support table, larger reservoir etc. 420's method, unless he's a Russian bot and his images AI generated, has to be a no-brainer. ( Where are the smiley face icons? )

It's all going on over in this garden and you have the prep done

My thoughts were the same in the beginning, but it's actually not a no-brainer. Canopy maintenance and training in general are way beyond other methods, imho. Also, you really have to know what you are doing. Brain involvement is definitely needed, at least in the beginning, to learn this form of art and plant cultivation. Hehe, please don't get me wrong—I still love the work and the 420scrog method.

At first, I kept asking myself: Why isn’t everyone growing like this? And: Why isn’t it done on an industrial scale?

Some possible reasons could be: Without restrictions regarding the number of plants or general growing space, other training techniques might be more suitable because they require less manual labor. Additionally, you can’t work with clones, since this method is done with autoflowers. (But could be done with photos aswell I guess, but they won't perform as good since 12hours of light during flower instead of 24hours).

But for private growers, especially those limited to a small number of plants, this method is wonderful. It’s also perfect for growmies who love high-performance gardening and pushing their plants to their limits.
Just my 2 cents. Happy to hear other opinions aswell.

Hey friends, I'm stoked to report my Autoflower seed has germinated today! It's a Strawberry Clouds Auto by an Aussie breeder, goes by Blowout genetics. Anyway I'm going to do my best to replicate the 420Autoflower scrog method here and I'm pretty keen to get this right! So a few quick questions : I'm at Day 1 watering the starter cube with distilled water pH 5.8 about 10mls a day.

Question 1: When to start adding nutrients and what EC to start? I noted in one of your reddit posts 420A, that EC starts at 0.7 – Finish at 1.8. (EC 1.3 by day 10 until mid-flower).

Question 2: I've soaked the 4 inch rockwool cube today in distilled water pH 5.8 and have that ready to go and also have a packet of Mykos mycorrhizae ready to add. When should i pop the starter cube into the 4 inch cube with the mycorrhizae?

Question 3: I'm new to these larger rockwool cubes and am a bit frightened to over water. How much do I water the 4x4 cube? I've noticed this 4inch holds heaps! Should I water until i start to see run off?

Thanks heaps in advance my friends! Happy Growing!

I'm using distilled water and anticipating that I'll need to start adding in some CalMag fairly early on aswell?
