DwR's +20 Plant Grow

nice....... im not surprized lol


:) Your not suprised about what ?


What a beautiful sea of green dwr :clap:

Do you snip every thing away at the bottom half of the plants ? it helps to focus all the lights power & energy on those big top cholas only .

Your plants are a pic of health :weed:

:) Cheers m8, I snip'd 17 clones from the plants at the beginning... :)


Otherwise i did chop off some uneeded stuff, but still have small branches on the plants... at the bottom... not so bad. u think i should snip off ?
 
Hey DWR...

DWC is where the roots stay in the water all the time... and it is not bad, just has to be done right....

Ebb 'n Flow, has the plants on pots... and the pots on the tray....

The tray with the pots is then flooded several times a day.... (depends on the medium you choose)...

Simple and easy.... very stoner friendly...

Have you seen Al's 2 week harvest thread? totally worth the read...:weed:

I made the first two with rubbermaid totes...

Cut the top half of one out and you have a nice little tray...

Set that on top of another tote with the lid on....

Now you have a res. and a tray.... all you will need is a pump and some flexible hose...

There are tons of DIY, but if you need a hand... I can probably take you step by step... but it is simple...

I'll take a picture for you later... as soon as I find the charger for my camera....:-P
 
whats a totes ?

Like these plastic boxes....

I used one tote (box) as a reservoir for the water.... with the lid on it...

Then I made a tray, by cutting another tote....

Place it on top of the res with the lid....

Now drill the holes for the fill and the overflow....

I'll send you some pics as soon as find that damn charger....lol...:-P

sounds cool..... The overflow drainage thing olny drains a cetrain amount of water right ?

That some water is still at the top or not ?

If you look at this animation, it shows both stages... flood, then drain...:-P

So as you can see... during the flood cycle the over flow tube is what controls how high the water will rise...

During the drain cycle, the tray empties completely...

I use pots with hydroton (clay balls), and I clone with rapid rooter plugs...

I flood 4x a day for a few minutes during lights on...

If you use rockwool, 1x a day is sufficient... rockwool absorbs a lot of water...

Still no charger, but it will appear...lol....:-P

Its up to yourself m8 your plants look perfect as they are but it should improve your yields at the end im sure

i always trim the bottem myself because my plants be bunched close togeather like yours only smaller scale and the bottom half or 1/3 of my plants do not get much light, plus under the bottem 1/3 the yields isent worth much in the end .

So i trimm it all away at least the bottem 1/3 and it lets all the hps lights energy and intensity focus on those big heavy cholas to get bigger ,Rather than it being waisted on the popcorn honey oil buds at the bottem

Ive seen the name lollypop be used for this method latley ive been doing it for years i think they use the name lolly pop because the bottem 3rd is like a lolly stick with the lolly on top i guess

Why dont you try on some and see if your yields are any better .. You should see the difference once the start growing again in 2-3 days

Keep it up my friend :clap::clap::clap::clap:
