1BMM's CAVE....

That's cool you're mixing it up with your medium. I want to have a few soil plants for my personal stash. it's better
 
I've had mixed results with the amount of ice I used. I find that the more
ice the better. My theory is just that the colder the trichs are the easier
they break off. Looks like you used quite a bit but it's hard to tell, when I'm
mixing at first it's god damn hard, but steadily it begins to melt and get a bit
easier. Just my .02
 
I did use alot of ice D84. I think i just missed alot of the goods strainin it out. Actually i let it all settle overnight and siphoned off the standing water then strained the rest through some coffee filters. The skuff was old and could have just been not as full of trichs as i thought. Any how im not mad haha. I still got me a nice lil chunk but it will be gone in a few hours :) Ging to roll up a nice spliff and get right. :peace: 1BMM
 
hey bro, clones looking healthy so far in the dwc, any close up shots? sweet on the replacement probe for ur hanna as well hopefully things will start rocking soon bro ;0)
 
Ayy las yep things are starting to get there mojo on. The clones have started to grow and the secondary shoots are macking. I havent been down to the cave yet today. But ill get some pics up here a bit later when the lights go out.

Thanks for coming by everybody 1BMM
 
Well folks ive fianlly gotten my ph probe replacement. I think ive got the root rot issue behind me and all is well.

I calibrated the hanna meter sucessfuly for the first time since i got it and im confident its reading correctly.

I first did a ph test on my tep water which ive done already but not with pinpoint accuracy of a ph probe. Tap water is reading 8.9ish so that would explain why the palnts from previous grows seemed to show deficient signs regardless of the care i gave them. The ph was simply locking out nutrients available to the plants. So with this new understanding in mind im feeling really good about getting a good first run in the hydro setup.

Because im a newb at hydro and still learning soil i decided to do a half soil half hydro grow for this run. Ive added all my seedlings to the veg area under 2 600 MH.

So now i have a good variety going and a sog i guess you could say.

Currently in veg. Dog Kush, Headband, & Blue Widow all in hydro. In soil I have Timewarp, Timewarp X Romulan & Grape Ape.

Things should really start filling out now. Just got to raise my humidity levels and the grow space will be in ideal conditions.

So withoud further Jaw. Heres a few pics. Enjoy:weed:


Blue widow


Dog Kush woof woof.


Headband

A total of 15 plants in hydro.

A few soil pics.


A couple healthy Headbands.


Timewarp


Its a full house :)


Heres a look at my DIY controller unit which pumps the nutes from the dwc buckets back to the main res for adjustments. And when i need to flood back i can simply switch the pumps around and pump the res contents into the dwc garden. This pumps save alot of time over lettin gravity do its thing.


So here ive pumped all the nutes into the main res to check the vitals.


After adding a few tbls of ph down and voila.


Nute mix is spot on for veg. Im using Jack's Classic 20-20-20 and calmag only as an experimental diet. Jc is not a hydro nute as it lacks the calcium magnese hence the addiitive of calmag. Seems to be working its mojo so far.




Woo hoo cant wait to get these babies budding.

Well im off to surgery :( fuck me, got to get maxilofacial surgery to correct some impacted teeth from a bad car accident i was in a few years ago.. Not looking forward to it.

Aiggt got to go. :peace: 1BMM
 
Good luck with the surgery man. And don't come back all doped up on painkillers and do something stupid with your great looking grow! there's nothing in the world that gives me stupider ideas and the inclination to act on them than post-surgery painkillers :D

I'm very curious to see how Jack's is going to work out in hydro. Don't know of anybody who's done that.
 
Whatever maxilofacial surgery is it sounds nae nice bru. Hope yer alright! Everything is on point, looking forward to seeing the cave in overdrive!!

Ahh haha yes the painkillers do give ya a warm fuzzy and a bit off a energetic brain storm lol. Im in far to much agony to act on any thoughts at this time hehe.

Im also of the understanding that no one has ever grown hydro with jc nutes. Atleast not all the way through. But Jc is supposed to be premium grade chemical nutes. Designed to be ready for uptake without having to be broken down first. The only downside is the nute lacks calmag, And im not really sure how much to add to the mix yet. I just checked the plants and the calmag i think is whats turning my roots reddish colored. WTF. It dont seem to be harming anything but im baffled. we shall see how this goes shnkrmn thanks for the visit.

Nae nice is right DST. Maxillofacial is like your upper palet of your mouth. Ive had a lump growing up there for a year or better and finally got insurance to get the operation, it sucked. Glad its over with. Thanks for coming by D.

Yep seems all is well now las. Thanks for helping me along bro.

Now the boring veg phase lol. A couple of weeks till 12/12 ill post a couple pics along the way. Thanks everbody for the support. Going to go kick it in the 600's peace 1BMM
 
Nice 1BMM glad to see you the PH meter all worked out. I don't know about the Cal-Mag turning your roots red? The Cal-Mag I have sorta looks like lemon juice or when you let all the ice in a soda melt and you get that really like brown water mix. I think you said earlier that you didn't wash you hydroton...When I was doing DWC to start I had to run under water in a pasta strainer in the bathtub for like 30 mins to get it all the clay out shaking few times and flipping the top to the bottom.

Everything is looking awesome though!
 
great update masonman. i like the plants with the big fat indica leafs, i just love the way they look very cool. glad every thing is up and running smoothly now.
good luck with the surgery.
