hey Doc,
fellow waterfarmer.
i just tried putting my tiny seedling in enough hydroton to cover a rapid rooter (2 inches maybe?) i want to see how it works with less media in the top res. i fed the roots right thru a middle hole so its' basically more of a dwc now.

looking good!
That’s Awesome! Good luck .it sounds like it’s going to really take off for you. Very exciting .

I really like my 4x2 tent sooooooo much better than the 4x4. It’s so much easier to work with and fits so nicely in the room. What a relief to get out of that 4x4. I was really struggling with the large size of the tent and getting under the screen moving between the buckets to adjusting the back corners and small oscillating fan was a nightmare. Much happier now. I had no idea that the light would lose such much power from a 4x2 to a 4x4. The plants are just so large and lanky.

can you access the 4x2 from more than one side? that would be cool if they had 2 "doors" on it.

i've done so many normal waterfarms and it just seemed like there was kinda a lag b/t the seedling starting and then finally having the roots get all the way down to the bottom res.

the other thing i meant to tell you is be careful with your drip rings; one of mine finally split in 2. trying to find the spare parts kit for the WFs now is impossible!!!

No, you can not access the 4x2 I have from any other doors but the front. Growntent producers are very uncreative I have found. Stupidly they have an extra foot add on to the top! Who needs that?
there is a big lag between the seedling and root system progressing down. You have to be patient because the pay off is worth it. Growth rate skyrockets after that.
I found replacement parts but I think it was kinda pricey and came with a bunch of shit I didn’t need and threw away.
good luck,

I dont even want to open the tent anymore. Talk about small buds. Huge long branches and masssive leafs producing small buds, it’s horrifying. I haven’t had this kind of sorry ass bud production since I was a rookie 12 years ago. Ok I still have 3-4 weeks but this isn’t my style and I don’t like it at all. Some weed is better than none but these 2 could have been heavy hitters so it’s a very sad situation . I guess I will go feed the ladies now. Have a nice day.

I bought the cutest little stands for my girls. If they weren’t so cute and adorable and so natural and simple looking i would have returned them IMMEdiately! I think they were like 17 bucks each. I said , shit I could have made these things!! But not really because where would I get the wood and tools? But it’s just one piece of wood and holes for the peg legs...But in a strange way they reminded me of the new jewelry I just started making. So I was thinkin I might be legit in selling mine for that much too. I ended up staining them.

we Will get them in the tent tonight and do a Rez change, finally . We took out the concrete blocks and are now using them for our work out room.

here is my first set for
new Signature series collection. Sometimes I find em with the holes already there to put staight onto the hanging devices so it’s even easier .

Week 5 flower. I Rez changed The wedding cake and put them up on the new pedestals. They fit good but a little slippery. Not bad. I moved the girls out and switched sides of the tent. A real good move. The side branches that were growing up against the tent walls are now in the middle and they were very long. So now I actually have more room in the tent and moved the buckets closer to the walls . This allows a big open spot for the 360 degree fan in the middle of the buckets, previously I had to shove it in the corner. Taking some string, I tied down 2 very tall branches so that the canopy is more even at the top. I have to get to the Blue Dream Rez change tonight . Her PPMs are a couple hundred to high from residue build up.
have a nice day! Here is wedding cake.

Looks like they are coming around a little for you.
I harvested the white widow over the last several days. I was really disappointed with the size of the buds, really small and airy. Trying to decide if I want to keep the mother plant. I did end up with an honest 12oz of ok smoke, probably ended up with a few oz of butter making material and collected about 10g of keif from the trim bin.

Sounds terrible. Better luck next time.
things are looking up. I really rounded these bitches up and made them into some fine stallions . It took a lot of work and training but I am happy with how things are going.

Hey Doc, have been super busy. Your girls are looking good. My white widow turned out better then I expected, it has only been in the jars for about 10 days, but I gave a sample to some friends and the report was "super stony". The blue dream is looking good and so far I think my best scrog attempt. I have lost track of when I flipped it but think im about 2 weeks in. I put a humidifier in the tent to see if that helps. My humidity is around 30%. 20210326_155748.jpg20210326_155832.jpg

Looking real good. Nice even canopy. It’s your best Scrog yet! 30% humidity seems a bit low but whatever works for you .glad to hear the white widow pulled through as a heavy hitter.

my girls are really packing it on a s busting out . Am so happy because I really felt things were going poorly in the beginning but now it’s looking so super excellent and smells like coffee when the tent opens up .
Blue dream is a light eater at 350 PPMs now while wedding cake is heavy at 800 PPMs. Great color and. Am thinking a few more weeks to go. Have a nice weekend .
