Not too sure this round, I think I want to do some hashplant in a dwc so I'll start two more of those, a slh in dwc, and then probably some more kushes for the solo comp. I want something nice and short for the solos so I don't have that disaster with the Sativa's like last time haha 100% coco for the solo girls. Might do a seed run if I get some males. Who knows haha
Sounds good. I'm still itching to get some dwc going under the LED's but the timing just isn't working atm
When you do go that route, I highly recommend the large or medium round air discs. They are perfect and sink to the bottom to you don't have to worry about the stones floating to the surface. Tons of air too as long as your pump is fairly large I have the top fin 8000, they have 4 ports and an adjustable output which is nice. Very quiet and has enough air pressure to create some awesome bubbling action. I have tried the smaller stones and they do work but not nearly as well as the large round discs
Northern Lights Northern Berry Sweet Skunk Blueberry Roooooooots I didn't feed them any nutes until about 5 days ago, so they are just beginning to recover, much more green than before, I was too ashamed to put up pics because they were very nutrient deficient . Cleaned up some of the older growth and they are looking pretty good now, blueberry is a runt like always haha, man some funky growth going on in those genes
What I assume is OG Kush, this one was affected hard by my chlorinated water, I just spent an hour cutting off all the dead branches and leaves, got a grocery bag full of leaves lol. What I assume is a Kush Berry or Kush Northern Lights. I Had mixed them up earlier on in the grow
Bah, that's not wrecked mate mine were worse then that. Yeah heard that a few times now just gotta find some, tbh though I use the small blue balls to mix nutes in a 25l jug and I thought 2 was ok, 4 would have to work if I can't find the other ones? My pump is pretty good I think. I'm more worried about PH, i've only just worked it out with coco lol.
Lmao, dabs buddy I swear it looked 1000 times worse, there is a reason why I waited like a week and a half to take photos, haha. I plucked nearly 1/3 of her off haha, I learned my lesson, I'm going to try to use distilled or fresh spring water from now on I use those green ones, and the stones work alright, its just not as bubbly as those big discs in my opinion. But it still works fine, more air stones the better, I just don't like how they get lost inside the root ball pretty quick, if you ever need to clean them depending on how your roots are, you may have to wait until after harvest. Not a big deal unless its getting clogged with salts. As long as the roots get oxygen they'll thrive. Hell I kept my males alive for 2 weeks without any air atones, and the roots didn't have very much slime on them, I'm glad they offered themselves as a scientific experiment lol
Some pics of the LED cab. The first has a few more weeks to go, then other maybe a week and a half, maybe two, I'm going to start the flush soon, she's starting to yellow up a bit.
Going to place yet another order in peakseed, I really love their stuff. Thinking about getting some C99 and maybe some timewarps and more kushes , maybe some more hidden secret strains that MikeJ has in his hidden layer of awesomeness haha.
Been falling behind on my plants, but life is starting to settle back down, so I'm trying to get my perpetual system back on track, the hps cab has been shut down for about a month and a bit now I think. I'll be moving my current peakseed veggers into the HPS cab probably tomorrow, and I have just started up some more seeds to fill up the veg cab. Started up 1x super lemon haze- this will become a mother that I will be taking about a dozen clones from in about 2 months I hope. She will then go into flower after all the cuts. One will then replace her as the mother. 3x hashplant- since cloning did not go too well last time since they are so indica I will just veg as long as I can to get a decent yeild of that amazing hashplant bud 1x sour crack auto- I'm thinking I may turn a portion of the HPS cab into an auto/breeding cab. I got some vertical space so I think it will work without light leaks into the flower cab below. This will be able to hold 2 or 3 autos, and maybe some solos that I will be using for she breeding 2x red poison autos what can I say? I love this strain, its probably my favorite so far, I'm thinking one will be used to breed some seeds, I am thinking about crossing it with some of the peak seed genetics, whatever I got that turns out to be male I'll collect some pollen and then use a qtip to apply to the RPA. I'm really hoping I can get some of that dark purple/ black/ red phenos, I got a just a nug left of that last harvest, and it busts out so dark, many people have asked where I got it from, its popular haha That's the plan for now, things hardly ever go according to plan though so we will see how it goes!
Good to see things are back on track mate, and getting into some breeding too. I missed that other post but check this lol. This is the infamous B1 I nearly killed 3 times, it's the one flowering now and turned out to be my best plant ever. So fucking lucky I was haha.
Yea for whatever reasons my plants have been taking major hits, but they somehow bounce back and give me great smoke so I'm not complaining lol. I'm pretty much out of the solo comp this round due to some unexpected deaths of my seedlings randomly, so in focusing more on my DWC adventures, I'm going to try and cut my PPM in half and see if that will help with some of my issues, the ones in the LED cab only have a few more weeks tops so I will hopefully have tons of room to work with- may be trying out a scrog
Yeah one of mine was pretty droopy this morning, the other ones is still nice and perky though. I'm a big fan of less nutes now, didn't go over 1200 this grow and has been just on the edge most of flower. Scrog ftw too, makes training so much easier just make sure your nets are ready from the get go cause weaving them in at the last minute is a pita.
Update day, I'll try to take pics on everyone First up is the kushes. Flush begins today on the smaller one, that I believe to be Northern Kush but I'm not sure. She's got little nugs everywhere, very orange hairs, smells like the typical kushy smell, can't wait to test this out. And then we got the OG Kush. The buds are getting Huge now compared to last week and she still has another 2 weeks I'd say. Today I'll be giving her some overdrive, slowly getting back on the nutes, and going to try to tie down some of the branches to keep those buds from hitting my lights and ply wood Before I change the res both are getting another haircut, so excuse some of the dead looking leafs, I try not to pull anything off until it is completely used up the resources of that leaf especially this close to harvest.
Thanks! I believe they are both on week 7 since hairs started showing after flip, the smaller one seems to be about a week ahead of the larger plant, the hairs are about 60% brown so I figure today is a good time to start the flush. I haven't been giving them very much attention or love and they are still producing, I'm kind of set of DWC after seeing how easy it can be
Its doable as long as you are prepared to check the res all the time. Larger volume of water will hold its pH for longer so if at all possible, I'd suggest a micro RDWC and just use a larger res for it so you aren't checking it twice a day lol. My containers are 11L and I fill about 6L into it and its just on the edge of probably needing a bigger container. I'm changing reses every 2-3 days now
Next up is my veggers. I left them a little too long, I was going to put them into their own reses a few days ago but I was swamped and now its going to be a major challenge... Smoking a few bowls and getting to it. Hella healthy 5 plants for sharing the same root zone. If I can't separate I'll be doing a seed run I guess hahaha
Well, I think I'm breeding some seeds because I couldn't separate the roots... Also, I think I am harvesting my smaller kush plant today! Smells so good, sugar everywhere, about 75% brown hairs I will try to take some pictures. My other kush plant is getting massive. I think another week and I'll begin the flush, I think I'll get close to 35-40 grams dry off that one. Buds have doubled in size and weight just this last week. Man I love DWC
