Portal run

[Bigg Al]

You water every day? Why? And they sitting in the run off, why? I'm in soil and water every 2-3 days

Original idea was to go 72 hrs between. Am in 1 gallon bags. I'm in full droop and headed for wilting by 55 hrs with the larger girls. At 48 hrs they're showing stress and took an entire 3 gallons, with little runoff. So backed down to 24 hrs. Runoff is removed after feedings.
It's the small bags. Not enough to hold enough moisture for more than that. Today was more of a test to see how much they would take after 24 hrs. Figure I'll try 36 and see how they do. After 24 hrs each took a quart (close to a L) without runoff.

I shoulda taken pics when the girls crashed...am sure it would have been a help to others, being able to see what underwatered can look like.

Boys are in the window now. Figure I'll be pollinating in the next 2 weeks.

Looks like all is well. Would like the see the rH up another 5-10%...

Looking great @Arthur ! I would be thrilled with 48%rh right now. Haven’t grown Starburst yet. I’m sure it’s excellent. Going to watch your breeding project.

I'm working for that... air comes in from outside 78* and 29%...through the filter, to 6" inline, then to a 3 gallon bucket half full of water. Cloth over intake and exhaust from this bucket...cloth wicks h2o into airfow... then the bucket to the intake of the tent. Running pressurized, odor not an issue here.

So... a lot of work, but its upped my rH almost 20%, and keeps good air circulation going as well.

Lots of effort @Arthur , I’m way too lazy for that. A little humidifier in the tent for me if absolutely necessary. Amazing how quickly the humidity drops once the heat comes on here. Dries everything out. I should have started this cycle a month ago.
What’s your plan for Stone Dragon and have you considered posting on The Portal? I’ll bet Stone would like to see your grow.

Well, trying to figure out my 2020 schedule. Will probably go to Arizona first part of the year for a month or so. When I get home I'll start F1 of these crosses. Spring/ summer will be F2 for these, and hoping to start bringing iced grapefruit photo to auto outdoor summer/fall. I'll probably get a couple dragons squeezed in just to get a feel... but between the GGxSSxSS project to F3 by fall, and starting the IG photo project, that's probably enough, other than the odd strain for smoke.

I may move over to the portal after this grow, but enough between my regular hand written grow log, my breeding notes, and this thread.
May go just because its comfy there. Like it used to be here.

I’m hoping to get settled in here since the change and more comfortable navigating this site, but I’m quite comfortable on the Portal too.
Sounds like you have lots going on for the next several months. A month in AZ sounds great as snow is forecast here on Wednesday!

Ok let's try something different. I mixed up 1 gallon and split it between the girls, 10 plants each got 1 solo cup full. To see how fast, or if it was able to be absorbed, I bottom fed & watched.

Each 1 gallon bag sucked it up within 10 minutes. This is after watering yesterday to run off, which took 2 solo cups from the top.

So, it looks like the bags will hold about 4 cups of moisture, I'm using 2 in 24 hrs.

Coming off coco, my subconscious wants to go one way, while the conscious says wait.

@Waira ?
