Urban Gro - Future Proofing and Integrated Design with Mitch Galton
I dont recall hearing the word "autoflower" once. I can't imagine anything going into flower after 14 days except a clone. I vegged this current photoperiod for 90 days !
Flipping from clone will only work with certain cuts. It's hard to get nice buds with wispy stems. A 7 day veg minium IMHO.
Be safe stay strong God bless 🙏
First time on autos never notices stretch
How long is stretch and afterwards plants swell up ?
The stretch phase occurs during the first 2-3 weeks of the flowering cycle where plants can double or even triple in size. Bud site will begin to form, starting with pistil development, and after stretch is complete you will focus on the swelling and bulking of those flower sites to get the biggest yield.
7:33 ...doing a seed run using a Grunge x Platinum Kush male , my 2 favorite females are Black Phoenix x Mimosa & ZKITTLEZ. after a 30 day veg , Lst only - no topping , all 3 tripled in size. all are 29" - 32" and every pistil got knocked up
What an underrated show! This is great conten 👌 🇩🇪 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Glad I found you 2. Great content 👍 🇩🇪 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
My strawberry Cheesecake Auto is on day127 days. It is a beautiful grow!!! Its time to harvest this week!!!
Dam ur in Massachusetts nice nice I subbed northeast here
Only being in veg for 14-21 days is absolutely absurd 😅
🤘🤘
I love zkittlez
wow i wait at least 30 days veg from seedling stage as a home grower I want a yield worth growing for
Nice episode guys
I thought the dif study results were not replicatable with cannabis
zkittles is not hard to grow just not very good yielder but hey i grow for smoke always have not for money like you do
When you flip an auto from 18 to 13 hrs of light does that tell the auto to stretch?
No an auto will stretch whether your change the light schedule or not. Run your auto on 18/6 start to finish
Autos will also change flower schedules if they get stressed, stunted or even if they hit the bottom of their pot that you started them in. This is why so many people plant them in a final resting pot from day one. But its also one of the reasons i dont grow autos. Ruderalis is simply just a worse version of a photoperiod in every single manner of speaking. You cant really clone autos and seeds are expensive. And its a guarentee out of every pack you buy youll get a couple runts, have some user error, maybe some unforseen mistakes. Its just not worth the money. Nowadays you can get what are called fast flowering which are hybrids and do have some ruderalis in them but not enough to makw them autoflower. But change how quickly your full flowering peeillriod is. Also you can take cuttings, have stronger percentages, better genetics. Just makes me think even with the advancements we are seeing with some autos they arent worth running inside at the cost of hydro and man hours. Outside i can see a possible use for them
Organic cultivation is a best for less tier height. Because high sulphur in water. I’m use 1.25m for tier heights now, but more potential for me about 0.65m per tier. I’m use organic rdwc. No veg strategy with classic clones and tc
So, according to your podcast, we should veg in smaller pots and transfer to bigger pots when ready for flowering, right?
In general, yes, this method of transplanting to a larger substrate volume in flower allows for more rapid root growth and easier management of the rootzone during the different growth stages. However, "potting up" to a larger substrate from veg to flower largely depends on your planting density and your target plant size, it may not be necessary if you are running a high plant density and small plants.
I work for a grow , Ladders are cheaper i guess.
This round wasted no time on stretching. Went straight to packing! Light in check. ACI EVO10. I also followed VPD. It does make a difference.
Bigger pots doesnt mean it takes longer to root the same area compared to smaller pots. Youll get a more established plant planting direct in a 3gal vs a solo cup and uppotting in the same amount of time.
You want your plant to end up 48 inchs in flower so Veg planet should be around 27 inch when put in flower, a flower stage is 21 days 3 weeks till it does not grow anymore height, why would you not at least get between 4 to 8 oz`s or more per plant with 12 plants in flower to get the yield you need to cover your cost plus profits ??? so veg last till the plant gets to the right height there is no specific time if you are a pro or Master Grower.
Ive been vegging a plant going on 2 months
I'm mainlining mine and going on 12 weeks veg. I may have to wait until 14 weeks before flipping to flower.
Vegging under 100 watt LED Day 97 !
14 day veg don’t make sense…. Are they clones??
Wow this sounds like some corporate cannabis bullshit. KPIs, no wonder dispo cannabis has no terps and doesn’t get you high. Home grow or gtfo 😤
Great topic boys 👍🏼
Thank you for this.
Home growers- 1-4 months. No homegrowers are NOT sog vegging 100 plants
do a video on sog 100 plants
I'd love to see a video on sog grow style
I agree most veg 1- 3 months is normal
45 to 60 days from seed, 4 plants, topping once on the fourth nod and LSTing - the entire 1 meter X 1 meter (a bit bigger than 3 by 3 foot) gets entirely filled. Tf are you people doing vegging for three or four months sheeesh 😮 I'd have them bursting through the roof at that point 😅
14 days of veg only? WOW..... all material I look around talks about between 4 to 8 weeks.
Don’t listen to these guys. Unless you’re running 50 plants in 1 gal containers then why veg for only a week?? Veg till you’re 50% away from the end goal height and size you want bc the flowering phase will fill it in
1st 2 weeks are seedling stage
I Veg for 2-3 weeks only because of my perpetual garden
I guess if it works for them. I just harvest 6-8 photo plants at a time. Perpetual 10-12 week cycle. For photos, when I start from seed, it'll take me 6 months from seed to go into cvault. I'll clone it & perpetual there-after, every 10-12 weeks from Veg Tent, to Flower room, to cvault, getting new clones halfway through every Veg. 13 weeks for my auto flower tent from seed to cvault. I normally just use 3 gallon, sometimes 5, on both photos and autos. It covers my personal bud needs & happy with low work.
@derrickmason7482 True but by the time your clones go into the Flower tent, you should only have to veg them for 2 weeks before flipping to flower...I like your method as well.
Noice.
Great info thanks
😊
Such a great point 17:01 to 18:01
Happy Choptober in the Mitten, prices are going to super efficiency focused commodity levels. Michigan just became the top sales numbers states in the white market 😅
ohhh eheheh... (rubs hands together)
still don't understand. where are the fans, exhaust, ducts located respectfully? I only got out of this video that you have 2 different air directions going without an explanation of how you did it.
@thomasneedham8003 for a better understanding of how the Vertical Air Solutions (VAS) product functions we’d recommend checking out our website at www.verticalairsolutions.com. The images on the website should help clarify how the system works. In this video, James was comparing the performance of a horizontal in-rack airflow fan versus our Vertical Air Solutions in-rack airflow system. James compared the relative humidities at the back of the rows showing that the VAS system was more efficient at moving the cool/dry air down the length of the rack resulting in a more consistent climate for the plants. The supply for the AC’s and the dehumidifiers are located in the front of the room/row where the intake for the VAS system can capture that cool/dry air and deliver evenly it down the length of the racking system. The returns for the AC are located at the back of the room where hot/humid air is recirculated through ductwork, conditioned, and delivered back to the front of the room completing the airflow loop. We hope this helps clear up your questions!
👍
That didn’t prove a thing. Also, someone needs to discuss where the buildup of air is exhausted from. If you pump air in along a 40’ row, the air in the center has 20’ to the nearest edge to exit, meaning the edge velocity will be way higher than the core velocity.
???
I cnt watch this with the videography cutting parts of there face off all the time
Their cannabis is complete garbage my friend down the street grows better and it’s all tax free.
3 day veg sounds like bullshit, forsure your sacrificing quality
Finally found grown adults talking science without being potheads 🤣
Mr grow it !!!!!!!
What’s the name of the system with airflow below and above the plant tables
Cheers. Market getting tight for efficiency here in the west mitten already. Never seen prices this low... in any state coast to coast. These metrics are so sure ahead of what most people are thinking in the more limited, over regulated states.
these people have zero knowledge when it comes to a proper build out
Yep 64 1 gals will fit in 4x8 table. Plant count is veg time
@@Theschoolofcrop 64 plants is just plain illegal where I’m at, 12 plants max, 6 in veg 6 in flower, at a time
People forget when you switch from 18/6 to 12/12 they lose 6 hours of there dli so i seen that you need to accommodate for that. Thats where grower talent comes in and know the strain.
@@Theschoolofcrop how do you accommodate? Raise the light strength?
@@FrostiestFrontier yes
