Hello all! Been here for years just never posted. Hell I just finally made a profile... Anyway Im pretty new to growing, but have already switched to Dwc and am loving the results!

Vegged in a 5 gal bucket for 4-5 weeks under 432wt 4ft HO T5, topped a few times there. Switched to the 15 gal home and vegged another 2ish weeks after major lst/ supercropping into a scrog, cookin under a 1k hps now. Will post more pics tonight!

what i use-
veg- 432wt 4ft T5 Sunsystem Agroflex flower- 1000 wt Sunsystem hardcore switchable

Basement grow, pink board in winter and direct contact during summer ensure beaut res temps
Nute lines- AN ph perfect base 2 part grow n bloom, Have GH 3 part trying next, eyeball fkn megacrop wicked hard....

Welcome to RIU!

That girl needs a cleanup trim.

 

[MaineDWCgrowz]

ugh.....the long......(there was a link here to ME laws im too noob to post links)

TLDR- per adult 21 yrs n older in a house- 3 in flower 12 in veg unlimited clones and seedlings. The above doc is literally 20 pages of fkn kill me please but it is super detailed, pretty sure they brought in a guy from Col or Cali to help write the laws here? We voted for 6 in flower and the gov knocked it down to 3, they are working on the Rec sales laws( tax rates to bleed us) before it goes "live".
And yes my moms have been brutalized lol. Im gonna fix em up and give them to friends to grow outdoors this summer.

Wow! What a great room for your ladies. So beautiful and looking so delicious.

 

[MaineDWCgrowz]

heres a more recent pic of the NY47 and a few smaller moms that got tossed into flower, Opium, White widow and Blueberry Gum.
40ish days o flower, this thing stinks to high hell when the lights warm up lol

 

[MaineDWCgrowz]

Final home for the Sour Am's.(20 gal insulated Coleman prolly hold 15) Will probably plumb in a T fitting into the drain spout for a sight tube on the vert and debating runnin pipe to a 5 gal res. By the time these two girls get big I won't be lifting the lid except to check roots, and after the scrog its a pain and all set risking breakage.

 

[MaineDWCgrowz]

Would like to Thank all of yall, none of my grows would have been worth fuckall if I hadn't come here and followed your number 1 rule...........
USE THE SEARCH BAR

Looking beautiful, always happy to have another grower aboard the RIU train. One question I have, how do you manage your res changes using that metal screen/scrog you have there? Or is the flowering plant you have under it in soil? I've been dieing to try Scrog for awhile now, but I come into conflict with res changes. In the summer time, I cannot afford to have my buckets off of the cold concrete floor due to res temps or I'd just elevate them and put a drain valve on each bucket. Have been experimenting with how to do an individual scrog attatched to the netpot's lid, but I really haven't had a lot of luck. Thanks for sharing your grow, will be happy to observe as they develop!

are these 5 gal buckets?

drill a hole in top of bucket lid, insert a piece of pvc pipe into it so it sticks out the top a few inches and hook a wet/dry vac to the pvc pipe. it will suck all the water out from the bottom and should keep the roots safe too. you could even put a 90 on the top of the pvc to make it easier to hook up the vacuum.

 

[Logan Burke]

Yes Rky they are standalone 5 gallon buckets, I really like that idea, thanks Rky! Even for someone like me who isn't a very 'DIY' type, this should be pretty do-able!
