DWC plants are definately geting finished indoors, clones are like 50/50, some will probably go outdoors, some indoors. But Behemoth and Little Sprout are gonna just do their thing. I mean, if those flowers swell up and harden, I will have a nice little yield off them, if not, I'll have a decent yield still...lol...Been neglecting them lately, need to do a rez change on Thursday for sure. I haven't been topping off their water either, so I'm sure they're a little thirsty! Off to home depot, back in a bit!

Video updates, not a lot to say. I might have seen a touch of PM on Little Sprout, so I plan on visiting the hydro shop in a week when I get paid. Not gonns stress, i've been really neglecting them lately because I'm in Go Mode for the outdoor season. Anyway, here's a quick video of what I have in flower.

Anyway, nothing fun to show in veg, but I might be getting some Skywalker seeds tomorrow, so if that happens, I'm definately gonna blow the veg tent back up! (not literally guys, geeze!!)

Meta everything looking green as always, I wouldn't mind living in that tent. I said you inspired me to try and get on that DWC kick so I finally have me a sprout going in a 6" net pot. I'm stoked! Check it out!

Sweet dude! Nice little roots! You're gonna love it, once they start growing they really GROW! It's so much fun, and a lot easier than I thought it was gonna be! Congratulations!!

Quick little interesting tidbit of information...

I was poking around the garden tonight, noticing how covered my stems are in trichomes...fanleaves too. They're really starting to develop pretty thick on the stems, so I decided to do a little smelling. I used my left hand and rubbed down a couple stems covered in trich's on Little Sprout, nice and sticky, a good sign. I smelled, and got a nice strong piney scent that is not unfamiliar to me. So I figured Behemoth would smell the same, right? Oh how WRONG I was...lol...I used my right hand to rub down a few of her stems and was rewarded with an intense fruity, flowery scent with licorice notes...COMPLETELY different...Oh man oh man...She's the one to took the clones off of!!! Smells like something special to me, pretty unfamiliar and totally exotic and mouth watering...Almost like some sorta unidentifiable fruit flavored gum made in the far East...I'm so glad I took clones, which I have been neglecting...lol...I just gave them a heavy watering tonight, they were thirsty!

And a few of the Skywalker seeds split apart...I'll plant 'em tomorrow when I get home from work, should be home early since I'm going in early.

All 11 Skywalker seeds popped and are in 16 oz. party cups. These are some strong seeds, cause when I checked last night only a couple had barely split, and today at like 6 about half were shooting roots like 1/4 of an inch already :o But Hopefully it didn't damage them to be transplanted at all, we'll see how many surface soon enough.

6 of 11 have broken the surface of the soil when I checked an hour after lights-on today...Hopefully by this time tomorrow I'll have a bunch of bounching baby budplants to care for. My DWC is so easy, all I do is change the rez once a week, and I'll spray down with greencure, though I haven't seen the PM progressing at all since I removed the affected leaves, but better safe than sorry! So with all the new sprouts, I have something to do again in the indoor garden...lol...I figure we'll throw 6 outside and keep 5 inside, since I'm assuming they're regular seeds and will have males to cull. I don't know, I'll only be able to keep 1 or 2 outside, since I'm reaching my limit.

Yeah man DWC is pretty cool. I like how you can see the root growth every day. Your DWC plants turned into monsters.
You can say that again! I'm definately looking forward to fall, harvesting the outdoor plants, and setting myself up with a legit DWC setup. I mean, don't get me wrong, mine is fine and there's nothing wrong with it, but I think the way to go is individual 5 gal. buckets. The tote is way crowded with 2 plants in there...maybe if I was working with clones or did some training on 'em, but since this was sorta one big experiment anyway, I neglected to do any of that this time.

Ok. So I've been neglecting the indoor plants, got a little PM on the plants in flower, but I got this stuff called PM Wash, it's just water, haha...But it seems to do the trick, something to do with the Ph or frequency of the water...I dunno. Anyway, these plants are taking forver, all these white pistils all over the place, but then again, I wouldn't mind if those buds fattened up a little too.

We'll see, at the very least, I'm excited about one thing. There are tons of trichomes on the leaves of the DWC plants, it's going to make GREAT concentrates and hash and butter. BHO is first on my list, since I still don't have bubble bags :( And the little one in soil isn't looking bad for a plant that has NEVER HAD NUTES...haha, so I gave her a first dose of flowering nutes yesterday. Like I said, been neglecting 'em a little...lol...But it's cool, think everything will work out nicely. :)

looking great meta!! i cannot wait to get into a smaller space so i can get some reflection in there- it seems like my 388 watts is cut in half cause the light's just go wherever they want...

(it's funny cause most people want bigger spaces- and i want the opposite.)

but they are looking excellent my man! keep it up!! and quit neglecting them!lol

nice vid my friend! glad to see Cat and Flower making their triumphant return to the big screen. hope that PM Wash works for you ;) . i think if you PM doesn't do well in low-PH situations, so that might be doing the trick...

haha, I'll try to give rthem a little extra TLC...I just have a lot going on lately at work and with the outdoor grow. And yeah, I've noticed that smaller spaces are the shit with CFL grows, all that light reflecting off the walls really helps with getting light to the lower limbs.

Cat and Flower are there monitoring the situation...Keeping an eye on the PM...lol...Yeah, the PM wash works ok, but I might have to pick up something else as I get closer to harvest...My co-worker has some 3000 dollar machine that makes water at whatever pH I want, so I'm gonna have him bring me some 9.5-10 and see if that helps.
