  1. Day 9 of 13:11! I had spent the first 6 days doing horizontal training, so I'm expecting a lot more height in the coming days.
    20200508_091006.jpg 20200508_091013.jpg I have the UVA running 6hrs a day now, too. Watching carefully for stress over the next few days.

  2. So I’m having an internal debate about tuning the new grow RDWC. Is it easier or harder than single buckets?
     
  3. Yes.

    Hahaha.
    Easier because they don't drink up all your water as quickly, and because a bigger res will have smaller swings in pH/EC.
    Harder because if something goes wrong it's probably going to harm all of your plants, and because for ideal results you likely want just one strain (preferably clones).

    I love recirc but it's def not for everyone.

  4. Man I’m just pulled. I’m going to be running 3 rooms with roughly 20 plants in each. So I’m trying to make this as little work
    as possible lol.

  5. That many plants I'd probably consider doing coco hahaha.

    Or maybe using big totes to make DWC buckets that can host 2 or 3 plants each just to reduce the number of reservoirs to screw with.

    Would definitely NOT suggest risking 20 plants with a first foray into RDWC.

    yur right about that, but I watched this video a couple weeks back about the benefits of peat vs coco and was actually converted back to peat by the time I finished watching. Sunshine Mix #4, the only thing we ever really needed ;)
    edit: added the video link.

  7. I was thinking (4) 5 buckets systems in each room. I like coco but I’ve never got the same results as I do in DWC.

  8. Day 19 of 13:11 today. Stretch is just about done I think. Been giving them 3hrs of UVA per day, broken into two 90-min blocks. I'm going to enable all-day far red tomorrow or wednesday, then start adding more time to the UVA.

  9. Day 24 today in the big tent

    I also popped some seeds for the next run yesterday afternoon. Honey B and Phantom OG from Barney's.

    I'll be taking my usual approach of picking 2-3 of the sprouts for each strain to grow out for a month or so. Then I'll pick one plant of each kind that is vegging the best for my needs and clone the hell out of them to get my final two.

  10. Got my 2 Phantoms and 3 Honey Bs into the starter res this morning. I'm gonna keep the othet 3 phantoms alive in rooter cubes for as long as I can for a laugh.

  12. Man these fucking Barney genetics are awful. Second time growing GZ, second time getting nanners. (On one anyway, but these are clones so the other will probably need similar treatment in a few days...)

    Such a shame to waste this root ball...

  13. Thanks SBH. Annoying - these barney GZs have hermie genetics, apparently.

    I look forward to using the branches as kindling in my fire pit this evening lol

  14. SB, I got late hermies this year with some SLH I grew, and it just didn't matter, the weed was whack hard good... but then again I let my temps run high so. I got a Barney's plant going on atm, tropicana banana... but I will keep a closer eye on it now, sorry about your discovery. Pics aren't loading for me, stupid DSL.

  15. Probably about time I try another breeder anyhow - all the photos I've purchased have been from Barney's - and there are lots of other good breeders out there.

    I just hope my TDs stay clear and the new plants grow up w/o hermies so I can finish my Barney's stock out without wasting a ton more time.

  16. As my homey @Ryebread1312 put it, we had a viking burial for yesterday's chopped GZ last night...

    And the other one was showing some major bananage this morning, so (s)he had to come down too.
