Diggitydank's second DWC grow (PPP x Sour Diesel)

[cph]

Can't argue with success. I'm glad you found #5, she (hopefully) just got a little turned around. It happens to the best of them.

so far so good im jealouse of the bubbleponics. i have failed to make one yet..with due time i guess lol

 

[wyteberrywidow]

I want to see how this turns out.How long is the flower time on this strain.I gotta try and build myself a dwc or bubbleponic out of a 18 gallon bin...

Flower time is about 9-10 weeks, I think. I only got through one run with these seeds before so I'm not 100% sure.

 

[diggitydank420]

Yup... this is when growing is pretty much no fun at all. Nothing to report, no new growth, but everything is still green and alive.

I am noticing however that one of my seedlings in the DWC tub has a purple stem while the other three do not. PPP does have some "purpability" so maybe I can coax some purple out of it. Only time will tell...

Peace and keep it green (or purple)!!!

dd20, How would u build a dwc in a 18 gallon bin?The same way in you tut for the 3 gallon?

 

[cph]

This is a hobby of waiting!! I like that word "purpability"!

Exact same way. Only thing I would do different is use another airstone for more bubblige.

Thanks.I wll let you know when I start to b uild it for some pointers

Here's a few pics I took because I got high.

With the lights down:

Lights up: (Notice the water bottle holding the flap up for my ghetto ventilation system)

My "ventilation system":

But it works even with 100+ temps round these parts, at least until I get the HPS:

These two still need to grow a bit more before they get moved to the jacuzzi:

This is the green stemmed one:

And here's the purple stemmed one:

Wish I had more to report on...

Looks good! I like the "ventilation system". Are you going to get an inline fan to help with the heat, once you get the HPS?

Yessir. I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and get a 600W HPS. I feel like I'll be kicking myself in the arse later if I just get a 400. I'm just thinking that if I can keep that thing at 81F with that fan blowing on low into the tent, I figure I can vent that tent well enough to handle the added heat.

And for a little humor...

 

[cph]

I went through the "which light" problem a few months ago. My question was 1000w or 600w... I went with 2x600 (just have 1 for now), my room is going to end up rectangular. So I thought 2 smaller ones would spread more light than 1 big one.

Great pic!! They make the guy in the middle look small!! I used to work with a guy that wrestled in the late 70's and early 80's. We called him Mic...... But shit I can't remember his wrestling name right now... I'll remember later when in bed, I'm sure!?

 

[diggitydank420]

Yeah, I'm just thinking how much more production I would get. The extra money I pay for the jump to a 600 will more than pay for itself come harvest time.

And good call on going with two 600's. 1k's are just too strong to use effectively in my opinion.

Have you thought about getting a few light movers?

 

[cph]

It has crossed my mind.. There would be a lot to do before that was very high on the list though. My flower area is going to be about 6'6" x 3'6". With 2 lights I didn't think it would be necessary. I have thought that 1 light on a mover could do good in that space. I feel the idea of 2 lights gives me more options. Going with under 1 light a SOG of clones and under the other the room to flower the mothers and other big plants.

 

[diggitydank420]

Yeah, those two lights will work perfectly in that room without a light mover.

Anyway, good news... the two babies in hydro are finally starting to show some growth. The second set of leaves is almost completely developed. I'll go snap some shitty pics here in a minute.

 

[diggitydank420]

Here we go. I moved the other two babies into the jacuzzi and the 5th one was just starting to poke out of the soil. But, I'm gambling and just threw #5 into a net pot as well. We'll see if it has the strength to make it. Those hydroton pellets hold a bit of moisture so it won't starve, it is just a question of whether or not it has the strength to push through the pellets.

The purple stemmer:

Green stem:

And I decided to put the other two in the tub:

looking good dude....i'm in for the ride....


gkn

 

[diggitydank420]

Well, my two stronger ones are coming along well. Some roots are even starting to dangle out of the net pots on them. The two smaller ones are still going, not much growth. And the fifth one that had not even poked through the soil looks like it's gonna make it. Just to make sure it's getting enough water I dip a cup into the res and then douse the little one to soak the clay pellets. Let's hope it's the little plant that could.

Pics!

ROOTS!!!

The purple stemmer (gonna call her Violet)

This one shall be called "Emerald"

Stella:

Gina:

And no names for the "unborn"
