Indoor throxic grows Mephisto - CDLC and Sour Stomper. With Floraflex!

[throxic]

Day 13, two days later, and I've been running the drip for 10 minutes twice a day; getting just enough runoff. Seems to be working out so far.

Well you appear to have setup your irrigation using 1/4” drip line & will presume the emitters are compensating & at a 6” spacing, I have used the same system on my photos for a long time with very good results.
This year is my first auto growing experience & my plan is to use the same system setup for those plants on its own timer, could you share the water schedule minutes & the day frequency you have scheduled?
The plants pictured are smaller so I imagine the current schedule is minimal but I am really interested in finding out about the schedules used by people with similar setups as the plants grow & the watering requirements increase.
Thanks all

Hey @Old Dawg , thanks for popping in on my grow and welcome to AFN! I am using the 1/4" drip line, but don't have any emitters. There's 9 drippers per plant and I've been running the pump for 10 mins a day - a little after lights on and about 10hrs later. I've been getting about 500-750ml run off for the three girls. As they get bigger and start drinking more, I'll be increasing the time and/or the frequency so be sure to follow along to get all the updates.

On day 15, I needed to clean my humidifier, so I decided to adjust the environment to accommodate not having it since it's warming up outside now. I turned the heater off. Temp has maintained at around 70F and RH at around 60%; as I'm being diligent on maintaining the proper VPD. I may need to bump the numbers up, but we'll see how they respond over the next couple of days.

Today is day 16 and these are the largest plants I've had at this point of the grow. I'm also gonna turn off the pump timer for tonight and hit them with some recharge tomorrow morning, then resume dripping the following day.

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Is this your first time using Floraflex?

Yup! I was at the grow store and was looking at running Athena, but one of the guys working recommended this line since it was cheaper and was getting great reviews locally. Glad I'm giving it a go - seems to be providing the plants exactly what they need without much thought on my end.

I'm just following their Autoflower feed schedule. In flower, since I'm not running Bulky-B, I'll just keep B1 and B2 at 3.5g/gal .. kinda mimicking their Medium Strength No Cal/Mag Full-Tilt Schedule. Screenshots of both feed schedules below. (Keep in mind, in the event I need additional Cal/Mag, they have recommended schedules for that too which is just dialing back the base nutes to accommodate the additional Cal/Mag.)

Yeah I’ve been running it for a bit now and really like it. They’re local to me as well, used to drive past it all the time so it piqued my interest. Really glad I tried it. Not a ton of us on here using it. I haven’t seen the autos schedule you posted before, looks like they changed it again. I have been using the Bulky B, not sure how much of a difference it makes tbh. And I’ve even dabbled with the foliar sprays here and there. Regardless, I get really good results and the plants get pretty massive. Smallest plant last run was 9.9 oz, then one was 13.4 oz. Biggest was 20.5 oz, but that one was in a 10 gallon pot.

Anyhow, glad to see someone else using it.

Their nutes seem to be fairly new on the market and the results are speaking for themselves. I can see a lot more people picking this line up in the future. You can't beat the price compared to bottles and, in addition, their online support for their products is tremendous - literally laying out all the variables in the schedules and even providing injector ratios to further automate things. Great company to get behind if you ask me!

They have deals on their site too. I checked awhile back and all nutes were 50% off. I’ve already got a lot. But my dumb ass should’ve loaded up.

That's good to know. If these results continue into flower and these bags last until Black Friday this year - I'll definitely be grabbing the big bags then!

If you look at my ongoing grow thread linked in my signature down there, you can see my results from my last Floraflex run. After that I had one auto going that was literally consuming an entire 4x4. Unfortunately we had to move and I had to chop. Just getting going again.

Just keep an eye out in veg. I’ve had some plants do just as well on 2g of 1 and 2 as they do on 3 or 4. I’ll generally start with 2g around week 2 and observe from there, see what they can handle and push from there. I manually water my coco though. My buddy that I turned onto it ran his autopots on 4g and burned them up a little. YMMV.
