Steampunk Water Culture

No doubt. My neck has finally healed from trying to watch my back.

Really strange but the seedling protocol seems to have had a negative effect on the valley hashplant. It was the only one that got strange leaf deficiencies like that. That shit is over now, it’s on full grown plant mode.

hmmm tirah valley plant is challenging me! Conductivity is fine, so I’ll give it a few days before I make any changes.
Black first: 1.7 EC
CDTF: .6 EC (still seedling protocol)
valley hashplant: 1.4 EC
FATF: 1.6 EC
I suppose in a few days I’ll add more “grow” to the valley hashplant if it hasn’t turned around.

Looking a little hungry. I’d be shitting bricks with seedlings in hydro. Totally uncharted territory for me.

Yeah same. In the pics showing the roots you can see the turbulence in the water and I am thinking to myself they are gonna break right off.

The crazy part is how strong the roots actually are! If the conductivity of the solution is low all the time, the roots get spindly. I think the valley hash plant might be turning a corner but yah, if it doesn’t turn around in a couple of days I’ll pump it to EC 2. Sometimes a plant can be extra picky and needs a custom dose.

I think they are starting to hit their stride.

Shitty image of the bloom room. After I finish this hash batch, I’ll cut that GOG plant down.

Reminds me I did a tech support call where the motherfucker kept sneezing in my face with the COVID. Dumb fucker doesn’t know I’m still immune to that shit for another month. good luck giving it to me.

I like all the different colors. So what’s going to take the GOG’s spot?

oo yah good question. The layout of the bloom room has been cluster fuuuuuucked. I think my plan is to get the big bud plants pumping and then move them over and ignite another LED panel. Might be a slight gap in productivity. I have to get the next batch of meat breath planted and growing too. I should randomly select the testing plants I will bloom next. Only one has been culled.

I rolled back into the veg room and pumped the chemdog TF up to 1.5ish EC. It’s in full grown plant mode, we’ll see what happens!

I pulled the seedlings except the small one, for root porn. The roots are pointing in the direction of the water flow. FATF, valley hashplant, Black first(blackberry spacewreck).

Like your style @JoeCrowe :+1:

Really enjoy your tech and info :bookmark:

Follow you often and still reading …

Publish or perish, right?

Just received my first wireless microscope today, inspired by you.

Ahh, I love it when someone gets scientific tools. It gets me Hawt!!! lol!
ok ok, well I boosted up the big bud plants, and I also gave the chemdog TF the veg dose at 1.5EC. Everything is coming up Milhouse! Should give me enough time to clean up the bloom room and add another light then get things moved over.
I think I’ve determined that I was coddling the seedlings too much and I should open a can of whoop ass sooner and give them some conductivity before they take a dive.

Ohhhh my! It’s definitely beyond time to get that GOG plant cut down. Seems like there was a dusting of pollen from the couple of open sacks. Looks like about 10 seeds started forming like 2 weeks ago on the GOG and OGK. I’ll be culling that little bastard!
In case you were wondering the male plant I had in veg was composted months ago.

OK after examining everything I think I have 3 seeds on those two plants. I might have over estimated the fallout from that single pollen sack.


I think these two are the only ones remaining.

Scrubbing them buckets today! Joy! I think I’ve dug out enough equipment to plant those meat breath! I’ll be happy once I’ve reached peak productivity again. I think the 4 seedlings are using some of the required gear, so i might have to buy some more stainless nuts.

Looks great in here! The way you grow is just as lazy as my eb and flow table it seems!
