Blue Cheese DWC ScrOG

 
 
cool man, ill check it out

 

here they are a week on. that first one is not giving up lol. its taken a beating but root are growing pretty fast now, id say its in the clear..
 

 

the nutrient strength is still rising unfortunately, im bringing it down to an EC of 0.22 every morning but by the next morning its back up to 0.25 
 
i dont want to bring it down much lower as the plant's requirements will soon be rising. i may bring it down to 0.20 if its back up to 0.25 tomorrow. its using about 300ml of water a day but i think some of this will be from evaporation due to it being pretty warm in there. my extractor fan seems to be crapping out on me. cheapo rubbish, i may buy a systemair fan for that box one day

 

I take it white cheese is a cross between cheese and white widow? That sounds awesome

 

I'm just finishing up harvesting my white widows so the box they were in will soon be free to take on these two blue cheeses.

I have had an awesome harvest. The system really works well however, I still think I can get more if I had more height.

So I'm going to change it from flood and drain to DWC. This should give me an extra 5" of height doubling what I have now

 

I don't know yet as most of it is still drying but at a guess I would say about 4 ounces. Not bad from a 250w hps in a 2' x 1.5' x 4' box

I wish the box was 5' instead of 4' I reckon I would get even more. I'm in the middle of making a bigger unit and scrapping my multiple box system so should have no height issues afterwards

 

A week on from the last photo things are really starting to move now. Each day the is a noticeable difference in growth. The first plant has got plenty of roots and is doing just fine. I didn't need to buy the second one.

They are too big for that bucket now and need to be moved on to a bigger container. I have a 60litre container ready for them, I just need to sort out the grow box so it's ready to go. Hopefully that will be all done this evening, and I hope I have enough grow nutrients

over this past week the plant's nutrient strength requirements has grown from a possible 0.10 - 0.15 EC in the recent photo right up to 0.35 - 0.40 today.

 

I only want to use growth tech's ionic range. It's the best I have ever tried, cheap too, but I have to mail order it so it probably won't be delivered until after the weekend. I should of ordered it last week but didn't realise how little I have left

Thanks though

 

I have finally moved them to their big boy box. It's been a nightmare harvesting my white widows. I still haven't finished but I have taken them and the old system out for now. There is a shit ton of small buds under the screen. I don't want to waste them but trimming them is driving me crazy, it's so tedious and time consuming.

But enough of the white widows, this is about blue cheese. My height is really restricted, this is what had caused the problem with harvesting the white widows. To prevent this happening again I have swapped my original flood and drain system for a DWC. This will allow me to double the height of the growing shoots above the screen.

My reservoir is 60 litres and I only planned for the one plant but it should hold both ok. I have re-potted them both in to bigger more stable pots.

The EC is currently 0.40 and the PH 4.8, a little low than I prefer but it will soon rise. I'll check it in the morning and if it hasn't risen to a preferable level I will adjust it.

I have a 10 litre per minute air pump and I will be installing another one in the next day or two

 

I wish I had the room for a 400w. I'm sure yours will do well man. What strain are you going with?

I have never heard of that one
