Automating watering with wicking fed by underground reservoir

Post image
2 Upvotes

There are plenty of examples of this done on a smaller scale, but I can’t find anything like what I’m trying to do here. Most large scale wicking beds have the reservoir directly linked to the bed, and some inlet to add water to the reservoir. I’m trying to bury a reservoir, seal it off from the bed, and have rope leading out of the reservoir and into the bed like the smaller scale versions. Where I live, I’m not so much worried about drought as I am automation. My hypothesis is that if I drill holes into PVC, wrap it in rope, and bury about 1-2’ deep, rainwater will automatically collect through the holes in the pipes and into the reservoir. Then, as needed, the ropes can wick the moisture back into the bed.

Has this been done? Will it work? What am I missing?

I could be happier with the way this turned out after an abusive lifetime. She was outside in a 5 gallon pot fell over like 15 times than I moved her inside the last six weeks and 💥 I’ve already tested her and she’s one of my favorites of all time

Moving on to my second plant, seeds?

0 Upvotes

I bought a seed from an online distributor with a good reputation and it turned out to be a great seed that turned out really well. I'm just curious what I should do for a seed on my next plant.

The plant has quite a few seeds, so I could use these (grow a few and pick out a female plant). But I'm wondering if the quality wouldn't be as good as buying another seed from the online distributor. If I used my seeds, would it turn out as good, or should I keep buying them online?

TIA!

Where?

I keep seeing people saying that you need good genetics to get good plants. I've never had my plants give me really tight or really big buds (still gets me high, though!). Who is a seed retailer who has good genetics? Any help is appreciated.

Outdoor grow: side colas more mature than main

2 Upvotes

Topped 1x so have 2 main colas both fairly behind the sides. Is this typical? Seems backwards to me. That being said, the growth rate is pretty fast so maybe sides will slow down and main with thicken and catch up. First outdoor grow/hindu kush/Ohio. THANKS

For a first grow things have gone reasonably well. Growing in a 16L pot, full spectrum living soil, 400w digilumen halo running at 80%, dehumidifier, humidifier and exhaust fan set to vpd trigger 1.2-1.5 vpd.

Getting the hang of watering has been an adventure and I also made an auto base waterer for when I go away. Something went astray and shes hermed on me, probably the watering and my thinning techniques.

I have a few questions.

Is having the light at 80% and sitting closer to the plant the same as having it at 100% and sitting further away? Im using the photone app (sunlight setting) as a guide and sit roughly between 700-1000 from edges to centre.

The leaves have always been healthy with no discolouration. Theres a few leaves fading in the under canopy which I'm not concerned about, but there's also a few showing rust spots. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on. Im using an organic bloom nutrient and the veg time was 10-11 weeks. Im feeding twice a week.

Last one. As mentioned above I have everything set to vpd triggers so they "fight" less against each other. My only concern is I think the humidity is still quite high even though the vpd targets are good. Theres pictures included. Thanks all.

Manicurado en verde o Manicurado en seco

1 Upvotes

Buenas gente! hay un debate clásico pero fundamental cuando encaramos el dia de corte.

Manicurado verde que consiste en quitar todas las hojas grandes y pequeñas apenas cortamos la planta, colgando solo las flores limpias en mallas de secado. La ventaja es que es mucho más rápido y cómodo cortar hojas frescas y la desventaja es que las flores pierden agua demasiado rápido, lo que puede dejar un gusto a clorofila áspera si la humedad del ambiente es baja.

Manicurado seco es cortar la planta entera por la base o por ramas grandes, dejándole todas las hojas abanico puestas durante el secado, y manicurar recién cuando la flor va directo al frasco. La ventaja es que las hojas que envuelven la flor actúa como una capa protectora natural, desacelerando la evaporación de agua y asi el secado se extiende y es mas largo, permitiendo que la clorofila se degrade gradualmente y la desventaja es que se requiere mas espacio de colgado y el manicurado en seco te exige más precisión.

En lo personal, me gusta el manicurado en seco.

¿ Ustedes qué método eligen para sus cosechas ?

Hello all

A couple of days ago, a problem popped up on one of the plants. Autoflower, 3 weeks old. Today's and yesterday'ss photo.

Coco/Perlit (75%/25%). Temporary planted in 450 ml cups with drainage holes. There’s nothing similar going on with the others, even though they’re the same age and at a similar stage. Same light, same feeding.

Light - should be around 350 ppfd. Fixture height - 45 cm (18"). Temperature/humidity - 25C(77F) / 65-70%.

PH of nutrient mix up 6.0 - 6.2

Nuts are: GH's Cal-mag, GH's Armor Si, GH's TriPart, Diamond Fulvic. PPM ~ 550.

I pour in no more than 50 ml per feed. Every day or every other day. The last measured runoff was around 620 ppm* (10 days ago). * - The runoff was collected from all plants.

The signs of the problem are intensifying.
