Indoor Scotty's hydro garden

[Bailey]

Right I need to get back into doing this regularly. Tut tut, lazy Scotsman

I'll get pics up later tonight.
Had some new revelations on the growing front though.
My attic inspection now has 10 days to get done or I'm in the clear so I'm gonna start popping some more this weekend.
My next door neighbour is also moving house out of the blue next week so I'll get some work done on the flooring etc and get the rest of the groom set up.
Gonna have to make sure it's smell proof this time though cos my neighbour pulled me for it a few times. Thankfully she's cool but the next one probably won't be.

Got some black n white sheeting there so gonna get that up on the joining wall and scillicone it all the way round. Already foamed up the wee holes so think that'll do it. Fuckin hope so anyway.

I'm gonna start 4 autos this weekend. Going for Seedstockers old skool classics of white widow, superskunk and Northern lights with a special guest appearance from mephisto with alien vs triangle.

With the Zamnesia grow off starting 1st of Feb it's gonna be crowded as fuck in here when it kicks off but I've got more space than I have balls to use it so I should be fine.. in theory lol. Just hope my wallet can stand the burn from the leccy bill

Can't be lazy now were testers brother yeah safe always foam the shit out of the walls cover then cover again n with ure carbon EV should be fine

Yeah mate this why I'm repremanding myself now lol. Just cos my phones fucked and my Mrs is often out when I go up. I'm 6pm every day cos that's when the lights come back on and quite anal about sticking to morning visits.
Been a bit depressing havin my room in the state it's in too but that's all gonna change now
I'm actually a bit worried about how big my photos are getting. Still gotta tie them down before I flip so reckon they're gonna be at least 10 oz each. Add on the 4 autos + 4 every month and then the big NFT Zamnesia in 7 weeks and I'll be maxed out for lighting.
Usually just do 500w at a time. Once I had 1000w at my mates but he fucked it and got 14oz. 2000w is a hell of a lot more than what I'm used to.
Main problem is I can't fit a big res up the attic hatch. 20L tubs are literally a bawhair off it. Can easily put a hose up to fill loads of them but it's a lot of work sorting out 5 buckets+ all the waste every 2 days. Drives me up the wall with just 1 lol.
Might try dropping a water line down the wall cavity and plumbing a waste pipe into the mains. Got a few ideas. Time will tell though

Have you looked into water storage tanks for your reservoir? Some are very compact for the water they can store. This is something Iam looking at for my new grow room.

There are many styles, some thinner, etc...but, I need a decent Res. to minimize going in and out of Secret Room..

Yeah something around 200L would be perfect for me but my attic hatch is unusually small. 14" x 20" I think. Can only just get my 20L nft res up it. Need something long and thin but not too long cos my attic ceiling is on a 45* angle above the hatch. It's very frustrating lol. Council house too so I can't make it bigger

I know what you are looking for is out there...with those measurments, search for something like RV tanks ,something for potable water..or even gas tanks for boats..etc.

That's exactly what I need mate. First one is 200L and would fit up perfect. Be buggered if I'm phoning a number in the states to find out the price but
I'll see if I can find a UK version,thanks for that bud

Right so, we're now on day 35 for the auto lemon AK in the plastic hempy experiment.
Day 42 for the amnezia haze and the edge photos.

Still on 24 hour lights but back down to 250w again cos it's Christmas, I'm broke and got prepay leccy.

So it's safe to say I won't be getting much from the auto. 2-3 oz but hey ho such is life.

Still feeding at 400ppm and no deficiencies from it.
There is some yellowing on the tops as you can see but that's a mix of bleaching from the light and the fact that I wanted to know how long I could actually go before needing to use calmag+(ca/mg/fe/N)......
TADAAAAA
My tap water is only 48ppm too so it's not like there's much in there. Nice to know lol.
Just cut my calmag bill by 40% in a onner
You'll also notice the AK looks a bit sorry for herself.....that's because I'm a mong and forgot to put her on bloom nutes
Shell be fine though just gave her 400ppm of growth tech bloom and canna pk13/14 and yes.... I've just realised I forgot the calmag. Ugh.....

 

[Frogster]

Gonna keep checking in here mate, looking good so far.... stuck a reserved sticker on a seat upfront, for when it gets busy later on.

Group shot first as it came out in the wrong order

Top pick is lemon so auto

RQS Amnesia Haze

Look at this poor lass. Snapped 3 mains in separate incidents. Only 1 of the 3 thats happened with. Dutch passions The Edge

they're gonna get another 2 weeks before flipping them. Get the guts filled out a bit first and find some bigger pots.

Got the lemon ak on bloom nutes now.
Growth technology hydro bloom and Canna pk13/14 @ 400ppm.
I always go for higher pH in bloom as it tends to drop so going in at ph6.5
Just put her under a mars 600 (250w) by herself. There's some space beside her so gonna try germing under the blurple again. They usually stretch but got tons of seeds there so no biggy if I don't like it. I'll get the seedling light set back up soon anyway.

The photos are on 600ppm as of today to see how they react. Dutch pro a&b root boost and sm90.
And I finally remembered the calmag couple days ago so they've had a shot of that at last. I'll give some more if I need it

Looking good, man! You're doing a lot with the temporarily small space. Hell, 3 in a 2x4 is enough for me right now...haha

I'm subbed up and following along while you work your magic!
