1000 Watt HPS DWC Lemon Skunk G.H. 3 Part System

First time running a DWC system with some lemon skunk purchased from greenhouse seed co. Im about 1 month in and getting ready to flower..pics to come.

bring it lets see what you got!

I bought some feminized (3x)Trinity Kush seeds from Single seed co and they sent me a free feminized lemon skunk and a feminized ladyburn '74. None of my kush seeds popped..what a drag, so i got my purple kush (from another grower friend) and my lemon skunk seeds to pop.

Once they germed i put them in my aeroponics 6 port plant starter that i bought from stealthhydro. I now realize how easy it is to make so ive made many more for less than 20 dollars, i spent 125 $ on the original. Uggh.

The aeroponics set has 6 6" holes for net pots, a bubble stone and a 6 port tubing pump to distribute oxygenated nutrients. I make sure the mixture is 6.0 - 6.5 pH after nute mix is added. I ran them under my flourescent lights 2 x 100watt for a week before switching to my 400 watt MH. After the roots touched the water I transferred them to my 4 port dwc bucket and put the lemon skunk in the 5 gal w/ a bubble stone. I then put them under my 1000 watt hps, since then theyve been growing like mad. im using general hydroponics flora 3 part nutes using directions on the bottle.

i started both these plants at the same time but i left my door open and my cat had a feast on the purps all the way down to the stem...thank jah theyve recovered and lets hope it didnt stress her out too much..the other strange looking plant is a marigold, helps keep pests out of the garden.

Both these plants are about 5 weeks old and im 3 days into flower at 2/12.

Here are the pics...lemon skunk on the left and purple on the right.

looking good bro, does that 1000 being that close the the canopy cause any heat issues? anyway looking good bro throw those babbies into flower and they should be big.

u r going to need some cal-mag soon

no, not really, the reflector has a glass cover on the bottom and im running an a/c unit at 70 degrees with 2 big fans in the room so it stays about 80-85 degrees constantly. Today is day 4 of flower so they are on their way bro.

tyvm hellraizer.....my 6 lemon skunk clones are showing roots through the rockwool and in a week or 2 will be ready to go into the 5 gals....shit i need alot more room.....when i was doing soil grows i could fit 4-5 sativas in my closet but the dwc setup makes the plants enormous in such a short time.
Im stoked but need to figure out how to best maximize the 3x6 closet im using.

my main closet in on 12/12 and my clones in my other closet is 2x2' and going 24/7 under the t5s. hmm...lol

The lemon skunk looks awesome. I'm looking forward to this, I'm in the seedling stage with a ladyburn 1974 and a lemon skunk. What ec are you using for that dwc?

I am not measuring ec, is that electrical conductivity? Lemon Skunk is a big bushyy plant, lovin it...ladyburn '74 is going to be 2-3 grows down the road, I have some gods hand and some grape ape seeds that are gonna take priority..=) I will google ec and read up on it....I think ive read about it in high times but not too sure if its detrimental to what im doing. tell me more about it and its purpose. Any feedback is greatly appreciated..

ty 4 the sub, Im keeping the grow room cool as I possibly can 80-85 with fans helping out so Im trying to keep the 1000w hps as close as possible w/o frying the tops...In 2-3 days they have stretched about 3-4 inches I think they are stretching nicely but not too much..I still have about a foot and a half of chain left on my light hood so we'll see.

thanks for stopping by ru, going to go read your Lemon Skunk thread right now...=)

That one plant in a SCRoG set up would yield you plenty, cannot wait to see the yield from the many Lemon Skunk grows going on right now.

I would love to scrog , i think it would work tremendously with , lol, my bush....problem is what do i use? chicken wire? i have more room in my grow area as my other little purple plant started growing balls so he got drowned and buried.

My roots are getting huge in the 5 gal bucket would it harm the plant if i trimmed some root mass off? Im thinking it would hurt but Im not sure so Im asking....any advice?
