neet..subbed

 

[Sencha]

Indeed. Sub'd.

 

[Ogcurse]

Just further proof of how this plant is comming out of shock from the transplant from soil to hydroponics. The growth from day 9-10 was amazing.

Day 11 still looking good. The ph in my water is constantly going up, is there a way to keep it steady or do i just need to keep bringing it back down??

 

[massah]

whats your PPM and PH at and how long has it been since you did a res change?

 

[Ogcurse]

Not sure of the PPM but im using 1/4th str nutes, till next week im going to do 1.2 str. My ph is at 5.8 on the dot when i changed the res. every Sunday morning. The problem and im not sure what it is, is the ph keeps going up steadily. Its an easy fix ias i just add a few drops of ph down, but i want it to stop doing that.

Today i found 2700k 100w mini cfls with an carbon airfilter built into the light bulb! perfect flowering bulb?? i think so.

You're going to flower soon right?

I would.. to avoid root binding.

 

[wiimb]

looking nice bro

 

[massah]

uh...how does it draw air through the filter?

And from what i've read of DWC, PH drift is kinda normal...you usually have to do a few drops of PH adjustment...

 

[lordjin]

Did you actually gut a computer case? That is very interesting. Talk about micro. I thought I was micro.

Is this your first grow?

well no im not going to flower soon, ima veg this baby out, its a seed from some amazing trainwreck, that iv personally seen the mother plant of and she was a beauty. And im doing a DWC system bro, i got alot of room in my res. for the roots to grow, plus you can trim the roots in a Hydro or aero system, so root locking a plant is pretty much impossible.

So after a little research and testing with a light spectrum meter that i found at a yard sale for 10 dollars haha. Iv learned that the blue bottom to DVD-R Memorex disc reflects a 5000k light off of its surface.
So in theory what this should do it mimic as if i had 3 cfls positioned directly in front of, behind, and under the plant.

here is day 12!

 

[Ogcurse]

uh...how does it draw air through the filter?

Iv the intake and exhaust fans are 2 really big 120mm cpu fans on 18v phone chargers. they push alot, and i mean ALOT of air! also iv got 2 circulating fans on the inside also blowing air towards the exhaust and over my plant.

Looks good man. I think its still a good idea to flower soon even thought ur doing dwc. Trainwreck will stretch a prettty good amount once u put in flower. If ur plants about 6 inches now its gonna be atleast 12-18 tall thru flowering and u don't wanna overcrowd the small space.

And how does these bulbs have carbon filters in them? explain please

Stop by my grow also if ud like. Links in the signature

 

[Ogcurse]

and yes Lordjin i bought the case at goodwill, i gutted it and built everything myself. with the whole setup, hydroponics included i spent about 200

 

[Ogcurse]

Ill post up some pics of how big my case actually is, and ill let you guys compare it to the size of the plant. Iv got quite a bit of room, but i know the plant will almost triple in size in flower, the last one i grew in soil in this case exploded in growth in flowering. Thanks for the feedback bro, much appreciated. Iv never grown trainwreck before so it might get bigger than i expected.
