A Shed With A Valley View 2026

[DopeDaniel]

in 12/12 w/ coco I feed 1hr after lights on, right in middle of 12 hrs, 1hr before lights off and once in the middle of 12 hrs darkness.

I'm currently doing one small shot (1 min) at roughly the middle of the dark period then every 3.5 hrs (4min on 3:26 off) starting 1hr before lights on making the last watering 2.5 hrs before lights out for 4 feedings a day and one at night.
The 1hr before lights on might be a risidual habbit from when I was using Hydroton, hmmmm....

 

[DopeDaniel]

Here's where I'm starting feed this week -
30 min after lights on 3 min
3 hrs after light on 3 min
5 hrs after lights on 4 min
8 hrs after lights on 4 min
11 hrs after lights on 4 min
6 hrs after lights out 2 min

It would be nice to correlate actual volume for communicating to others but for now time is all I have. There's been "excess" runoff for the earlier waterings and less for the later ones. Could be residual from the before lights on but more importantly I want to match the plants needs throughout the day.

Due for a resivoir refill again, went through 30 gallons last week but also on the over watered side of things. Feed chart calls for a bump in bloom nutrients from 7 g/gal to 10 g/gal, I'll do that to hit the ratios but will still dilute to 2.3 ec or less.

Week 4 starts tomorrow.

 

[rkymtnman]

you doing 100% coco, right?

 

[DopeDaniel]

you doing 100% coco, right?

Yes.
Ended up making some adjustments to the durations, reduced 1-2 min. Used about 2.5 gal with about a 0.5 runoff. Didn't have enough room in the resivoir to hit 2.3 ec and I didn't want to dump any or really mess with it, landed on 2.4.

Side note - my well pH has dropped about 0.5 from a month ago.

Selected out a few more Gorilla Bubble for lack of branching but rather than outright culling them I set them outside overnight, then transplanted this morning.

Possibly get a few inches of snow tomorrow.

Funeral Cookies is gonna start dropping pollen soon.

I have a system set up so I can water without opening the tent. I wouldn't mind a few seeds but not interisted in fully seeding the room.

The light ppfd is a good 2-300 umol higher than I typically ran with organcis, close to 1000 in some spots.

Everything looks ok, not perfect, its running hard, has me nervous.

Current feed schedule
30 min after lights on 3 min
3 hrs after light on 3 min
5 hrs after lights on 3 min
8 hrs after lights on 4 min
11 hrs after lights on 3 min
6 hrs after lights out 2 min

The result is about 20 gallons used over 7 days with ~15% runoff. Added Grow Genius Mono-silicic - comment from the hudro store guy "oh, the good stuff?..." It broke the budget for this round but in order to give salts a fair chance I had to figure out a way to deliver silica.

I'm actually using less imported microbials (rootwise) than I did with organics. Instead of 5 gallons every 2 weeks I'm at 1 gallon per week. Instead of treating a 3x3 bed I'm treating 2x 2gal pots, just more frequently.

Mixed up some ammendments for outdoor, down to 14 Gorilla Bubble, all should go out in another month or so.

 

[DopeDaniel]

Running 50% nutrient strength 2.2 - 2.3 ec, next round I'll start at 50 and go up if needed I think.
GB no.2


Funeral Cookies

Thinking I'll pull him in the next couple days.

I am not seeing evidence of pollination in the tent for some reason. Possibly the flower development is not mature enough? They are just wrapping up their third week of 12/12, typically I put the females in flower a couple weeks before males.

I pulled him anyway because I am concerned I am seeing pollination in the room.

This is looking better.

B Zeroed some zug the past few.weeks..Two of my TOP favorites chucked together(.Katsu Headsmog x Pure Michigan) .I never found a zug plant I kept to be honest.. but I've harvested quite a few...The smoke is top notch.. Big shoes to fill from both strains cultivars and smoke..Have to be real legit to make me consider getting rid of HS or PM. Pure Michigan did Headsmog no favors which is way off base from every other cross I've seen or tried
