WEEK 6, DAY 36 (FLOWER) Things are really starting to take off now. The RDWC plans drained 1 gallon from my res, so I topped it back up with pure RO water. I’ll keep topping it off until there are three days left in the week and then I’ll let the buckets/reservoir lower so it’s less work for...

WEEK 6, DAY 35 (FLOWER) I did my weekly nutrient exchange in all of my systems today: RDWC and my two DWC systems. This time I used 85% of the recommended nutrient strength. This week really bumped up the flowering nutrients so I am excited to see some more significant bud formation occur over...

WEEK 5, DAY 33 (FLOWER) The plants are gulping water and nutrients. I am adding about 1 – 2 gallons a day of RO water into the res daily now! I have been defoliating around the base of the plant and cutting all over to keep good flow and open up the canopy for lower buds sights being blocked...

WEEK 4, DAY 27 (FLOWER) RDWC System: I checked on my system reservoir this morning like I always due and took measurements for my ph, EC/PPM (more on this later). It looked like the reservoir was a little low, and I also noticed a low waterline in my buckets so I adjusted the valves on my...

WEEK 4, DAY 26 (FLOWER) Main RDWC System: The plants are exploding in growth and starting their stretch. I have moved the light up several rungs over the past few days. Ph, PPM/EC, and water levels continue to be low to zero maintenance after the first 24 hours of the water/nutrient changeout...

WEEK 4, DAY 21, (FLOWER) Part 2 I did my nutrient changeover today. The plants, except for my mother plant, are now on a 12/12 light schedule and I started the GH week 4 “transition” phase nutrients. I also found a small bottle of GH Rapid Growth that I had misplaced at the start of my grow...

WEEK 4, DAY 21, (FLOWER) Last night after my MH light went off, I quickly changed the bulb from MH to HPS. I also adjusted the lights on schedule from 6am – 12am to 8am – 8PM. FLOWER HAS BEGUN! I’m going to add my new nutrient mix this evening. Here are some pics from last night/this morning.

Thanks! I've never grown in soil before and I think I am just much too impatient for that. My first serious grow was using a DWC system and I was amazed at how fast and, relatively speaking of course, simple it was to use/grow. This RDWC system is almost entirely self sufficient. The only time...

WEEK 3, DAY 19 and 20 (VEG) MAIN RDWC SYSTEM: All of my plants are roughly the same size and shape and have bushed out big time. I am READY to start flower tomorrow. I have the PPM/EC dialed in so there are very little fluctuations with EC and/or PH. LED DWC: SLIGHTLY smaller than the main...

I don't think I've ever purchased DP bud; I do, however, always snatch a DP vape if they are in stock.

That sucks!!! I have not grown from seed yet since, in a legal state, clones are cheap and readily available. 6 Durban Poison clones cost me a total, after tax, of 80 bucks. They were just about 10 bucks a piece. Hopefully, when you do get seeds, you can stash a mother to the side so you can...

WEEK 3, DAY 18 (VEG) Main System: Plants continue to explode with growth. It’s getting very bushy all around. I think I will start my flower in 3 days at the start of week 4 as the main system plants are just about ready to go. Or should I give them another week? LED DWC: This plant has just...

Thanks! They are so bushy today, it has solidified my decision to start flower starting week 4. Other DP grow journals talk about an aggressive stretch during flower and the LST tops are fully established and strong :) My mother is also producing a lot of future clones, and I ordered my bag of...

WEEK 3, DAY 16 (VEG) Main System: I continue to bend and the plants continue to grow. They continue to drink a lot of water. The PPM/EC/PH are remaining relatively stable. LED DWC: I am so happy with how this plant is turning out. This one is gobbling water and nutrients. Sunshine/CFL: Still...

WEEK 3, DAY 14 & 15, (VEG) I did my nutrient/water transfer on day 14. Here are the baseline ntrueint mixes, PH, and PPM/EC for this week. I will add plain RO water or nutrient mix based upon the daily changes/needs of the plants. Main, 4 bucket RDWC system: WATER: 17 gallons, tap water...

WEEK 2, Day 13 (VEG) I fell asleep before posting my update from yesterday: Things continue to run smoothly, despite some warmer than usual weather. The weather is dropping significantly over the next 10 days by at least 10 degrees so it’s back into prime temp territory, but I was misting the...

WEEK 2, DAY 12 (VEG) Video of Day 12 of RDWC Grow: https://streamable.com/sw0z9t The plants are really sprucing up and looking fantastic. They spent the morning guzzling water, and then they guzzled some nutrients towards the afternoon, then continued to guzzle water. I have included a few...

Week 2, Day 11 (VEG) Video Link: https://vimeo.com/user128887500/review/492925319/2a118fed75 The plants are drinking a lot of water. This is a reaction to the LST and explosive new foliage growth of main stems. I am happy to report that I had no need to bend today, although I did go in and...

Week 2, Day 10 (VEG) The plants continue to explode with root growth. Although it doesn’t look like much from the top foliage due to LST, the roots tell another story. This LST will certainly add at least an additional week to my veg, maybe more. I have the plants LST’d to just about level...

Week 2, Day 9 (Veg Stage) The plants continue to do very well. All of my tent plants have been bent LST and all have already turned back up towards the light. The sunlit plant is not being bent/LST. To my surprise and delight, my “window” sunlit plant (although to be fair, it does sit under a...
