DWC to Perpetual

[firsttimeARE]

My phone is just a galaxy s3 id never buy a crapple product.

I just prefer not to take pictures with a device that has gps

Touche~

Cut off the tops for the Blue OG. Came in at 77.8g wet. Im interested to weigh the differences as I never have before. Pics to follow. Week 9 pics following tomorrow.

 

[firsttimeARE]

These are the two tops I took off the Blue OG. Some reason these are taking forever for the pistils to turn.

Some root porn and veg shots I took on 1/29. The HPS in the background makes them look yellow, but they are WHITE WHITE

 

[firsttimeARE]

As you can see the roots in the black bucket got a bit air pruned like I was talking about @Vumar. See how low the water level is. This bitch is drinking HARD. I mean look at the root mass on the two Blue OG clones. The Dinachem rootmass (first picture) is tiny in comparison, also a much skimpier plant. I may just run this Blue OG for a while and say fuck the Dinachem. Though the smell coming off Dinachem is fucking intense.

All the strains this run have their own unique smell. Super Silver smells like grapefruits, im so bumming I didn't get a clone off it. Though im thinking its excellent bud production has a lot to do with it not having a nitrogen toxicity before entering flower.

DAY 63 FLOWER

Blue OG and Dinachem are taking forever. Though they didn't show buds until 12 days so perhaps its really day 51? Is that how it should be looked at?

 

[firsttimeARE]

Going on vacation in less than two weeks. Had to chop the Super Silver.

Cut Blue OG down Monday day 64

Cut Dinachem and Super Silver last night day 68. Website says its a 65-75 day strain. It was about a week early.

But it was now or chop it a week before vacation and quick dry or slow dry and hope it doesnt over-dry or mold unattended. Most likely it would of over-dried.

In about 7-10 days they will all be dried. Can burp them in the buckets for 4-6 days until they are good and leave for vacation worry free while it cures. Going for a 2 month cure on those two. Blue OG will be my smoke stash.

 

[firsttimeARE]

Next crop is under the HPS. Took some clones off the Blue OG put into my 12-site cloner I made recently and those will go into flood and drain.

I need to get a new light setup as 12 plants wont fit on one of my tables the size I grow my plants. Be lucky to fit 6. I may get two new light setups and run 1800w flower.

For this I need to update the electrics though as the room is only on a 15A, a 15A that I recently learned was shared with the dining and living room! DA FUCK!

 

[firsttimeARE]

Found a budsite on a fan leaf on the Super Silver when I was deleafing.

Weird.

Dwc is by far the best as far as growing

How do they stay universally white? My newer roots are WHITE white but the older ones look slightly different as far as color. More faded/yellow. You suspect this is because of a lower than ideal water level?

 

[firsttimeARE]

My res is 65F. I use hydroguard and change water out fully and rinse buckets/roots every 1-2 weeks. Oh and I try not to overfeed.

Other than that no clue. I will say now that I started using Hydroguard they are staying white. Those roots are 2 months old on those photos I took a week ago.

There are some roots close to the pot that got kinda air pruned. Im not worried about it. I just gotta pay better attention to the water level

All ive done so not much to compare on. I will be starting a flood and drain table soon. Just put the future inhabitants in the cloner today. Going to run 12 Blue OG plants. I need a major room overhaul to accomplish this since I grow 4-6footers mainly due to bad rotations.

 

[firsttimeARE]

This bud I cut is making me sneezy. Anyone ever get like that with freshly cut bud? Its like some terpene allergy or some shit. Only certain strains.

 

[Vumar]

My friend gets a red-ish rash. lmao and its not even flowering time! Yes many people have "allergy" issues so to speak with raw cannabis.

 

[Vumar]

Reminded me of you

 

[firsttimeARE]

Getting extra power to my room. (1) 20A in each room wired to a subpanel for future split systems.

Setup the screens for my buckets. 24"x24" screens. I need to get some 100lb test fishing line to make the grid.

Attached some pictures of it.

 

[firsttimeARE]

Parts list:

(4) 16" pieces for the outriggers
( 8 ) 2-3/16" pieces for the small square
( 8 ) 10-1/2" pieces for the grid. I did mine slightly under 24" total square so they can fit in my 4x4 tent. (
(2) 1/4"x2" nylon screws. They only had 3" so I had to cut em down. ($1.42)
(4) 1/4" neoprene washers. Think they are 1/2" OD ($0.86)
(2) 1/4" nylon nuts ($0.67)
(4) 90 deg elbows ($0.68 )
(12) tees ($2.04)

13'-10" pipe ($4.92)

$10.59 per screen.

Expensive and time consuming DIY but that thing is solid and I could not find anything like this online for purchase. I'm going to come up with elbows off those tees and make an area to tie off buds to.

 

[Vumar]

How do you plan to attach the fishing line to the PVC pipe?

 

[firsttimeARE]

Drilling holes at 4" on center and going in one end out the other, go alone the pipe and feed it back in.

Will be all two pieces of line.
