4 Bucket RDWC Comback.

  1. It's been nearly a decade sence my last harvest. I harvested a healthy amount in a PC box then moved onto a stealth hydro dresser but never finished my journal on here for it. ANYWAYS I built a stealth room (exterior still in progress) I'm running a 600w MH & HPS over a RDWC 20gal system. I'll be using FoxFarm nutes after reading some good stuff about the line. I'm going for as much DiY as possible just to see what I can harvest w/o burning pockets. I made my own res chiller however I'm going to bite the bullet and just buy a legit one due to the hassle of keeping my cooler one temp in order to manage my res temp where I want it. All the ladies sprouted Friday!
    Room temps run between 75-77
    Res temp 67-70
    I'm experimenting with three genetics.
    ☆Barneys Farm Orange Sherbert
    ☆Greybeards private reserve grape ape (2)
    ☆Humboldts Bubbas Gift(free seed) 20200413_010843.jpg 20200413_010814.jpg 20200413_010851.jpg 20200413_010858.jpg

  2. Well today marks 1 week for the seedlings. All is well however I am curious as to what's going on with the leaf curling on Grape ape 1&2. Any input on yalls end would be appreciated. Orange Sherbert is doing great and the Bubbas Gift is just taking its sweet ass time.
    Room temps 76-78
    Res temp-68
    600w MH-28" from canopy
    PH-5.8

  3. What is the drip timing? Two out of four currently have water flow out. Dont want to feed them to much water because they wont explore to the bottom of the bucket.

    The system looks nice. I just made my own RDWC system but i went the PVC route for the discharge flow.

    i can't wait to see more on this.

    SUBBED!!
     
  4. I just have a top feed system that runs for 10 mins every 6 hrs to keeps the rockwool moist. I built my waterfall system to low and didnt want back flow so I couldn't fill my buckets up to the bottom of the pots.
     
  5. Week 2 update:
    Ladies taking off pretty nicely now. Pushed it a lil bit on the nute strength at 350ppm and got a bit of burned tips so I took it back a bit which seemed to stop the burn after 24 hrs. Probably going to pull the top feed on the three bigger girls in a few days now that roots have reached the water level.
    Bubbas gift is still lingering bad but showing signs of growth so I'm just going to sit back and let it be.

    Till next time... 20200424_200933.jpg 20200424_201016.jpg 20200424_201156.jpg 20200424_201246.jpg
