Hamme Hydro's Phototopic

[Hamme Hydro 4,666]

I put the cuts from the best performing Stardawgs outside because they were infected with spider-mites and some are too good to toss. After some heavy rain, wind and some cold nights i took cuts from two of the three clones this morning. They appear to be clean but i put them into quarantine anyway for a couple of days. 

Every day i inspect the leaves until i am sure they are clean.

The thirty-fifth day of flowering.

Since i'm growing three different strains in the same leaking tray, it's inevitable that some yellow out a bit. In this case it's the Super Shiva Skunk. 

Every four to five days i fill a tank with seventy-five liters of water, add pH minus until i reach pH 5.5.  Since i leave the water in the tray and the pH runs up, i go a little lower then i go when watering from the top. After that i add Floranova bloom until the Ec is 1.3. Then i pour the water in the leaking tray and i am done!

Thank you Paps! I am glad that only pouring  seventy-five liter of water with nutriment in the tray and leave it there for the plants to drink seems to work! I'm always looking for a way of growing that takes the least maintenance and this current method suffices quite well.

The forty-fourth day of flowering.

I poured 75 liters in the tray, pH 5.4 and Ec 1.2. Since i leave the water in the tray for the plants to drink, i keep the pH lower then i would watering from the top because it runs up. Anyway, enough talking, here come the pictures!

The fifty-fourth day of flowering.

The most recent watering i gave them only acidified water (pH 5.5) and they are already entering the final stages! Time flies when you're having fun!

And might i add i find it quite alright, to note there's not a spider-mite in sight! 

Bye!

Somehow the buds wouldn't become as dense as usual during my previous round. So the harvest of my last hps round was mediocre with only 850 grams under 1200 watts but it tastes good! 

I've taken out my hps lights and installed d.i.y. Samsung F-series led-strips.  We're in the second week of flowering with Amnesia Haze.

I'm sorry to hear that Hidronesia, most growers are happy with led but it's nice we have options! Good luck with your switchback!

Not much time to update my phototopic but i am still growing with led.

And still in soil too... But not hating on rock-wool at all, i still have some stacked up for future use.

I bought cobs too!

In the bags are another six i was told.

I finished my first round Amnesia with 800 watts of ledstrips. The score was almost 1200 grams. The buds are rock-hard and people are asking for seconds. What leds did you use?
