In House Genetics Thread

[Yodaweed]

ALERT: I've never argued that DWC is better or worse than any other growing technique, so let's not bring that old horse debate into this thread. I do it because it's simple, and doesn't attract soil borne insects. That's about it.

1. I still crack seeds with great success in paper towells, then place in root plug or jiffy 7 pellet. Keep under a humidity dome - I use washed McDonalds parfait cups [ they're delicious, btw. ] Many single cups vs one dome with many seedlings works better for me.

2. When roots show, I move it to a styrofoam cup filled with lava pellets, and holes punched in the bottom of the cup. This cup is placed in a 2nd cup - same size - with a solid bottom. Water the seedling once daily, pouring through the stones to the second cup. I never use nutes until they ask for it [ slight paleness ].

3. When roots grow two inch tails into the second cup, it's time to place them in your bucket. *** If you have plants ahead, and need to buy some time, it's easy to set the first cup into another same size cup of stones [ holes in bottom ] about 1/3 full, so they're not easily tipped over. You'll gain a week, then move into buckets.

That's about it, amigo.

Good strat, I use a similar method, but don't go into the cups just right into the rocks after the seeds pop in the dome.
Here's my current RDWC plant, golden lemons from DNA seeds.

I think our methods might be a little different because my DWC system has a recycling drip feeder too.

That's a cool pic - I've got to get into LEDs one day. I did drip lines some years ago, but now just use individual Lowes buckets, air pumps and air stones. Rather than recycling, the nute/water gets changed with fresh solution weekly.

I use individual cups because not every contestant makes it into the semi-finals. Pull a male, or poorly performing plant out, and replace with another rooted cup, usually a low cost fem popped as a just in case backup.

Thank you, yeah the plants love the LEDs I call my LED room the plant spa that middle LED has a spot for a 18% UV-B that I introduce after week 2 flower, run it 2 hours at the end of day, CAKES on the resin.

I am a dwc grower as well but my method is much more simple than that. I pop the seeds in paper towel. Place in rock wool cubes when tap root shows and throw into humidity dome. Once it sprouts I plant in netpot bucket lid and into a bucket with some roots excel. 3-7 days later my roots hit the water beneath the net pot. I don't top feed either.

 

[greenghost420]

Why would you use your real name and address for illegal activities...even in a legal state the feds can still rip you a new one...the feds do not recognize any states cannabis laws

using fake names and shit will get you busted faster, use your real stats and read about plausible deniability. never ship to a grow ever,,,

Do you water by hand for the first 3-7 days or they cool without it?

 

[BigLittlejohn]

No. I soak my cubes pretty good prior to dropping the popped seed. I might throw some water when I first plant but typically no. I do put the water level a little bit higher when I plant them but I find the roots find that bubbled water without my help.

Ahhh yea I don't use rockwool it does soak up a lot more water than the rapid rooters and you can have a larger piece so I can see a good soak lasting a week.

Another question for the all of you hydro guys, hey I been running hygrozyme to keep my rez good and no root rot, what do you guys use?

 

[BigLittlejohn]

I innoculate with mykos and azos and use roots excelerator up through week 4 of flower and then switch to regen a root to finish out. Also I use hydroguard.

I cant keep my rez sterile so I opt for adding benies to my root zone.

Hey man....you;re the King of Simplicity, and that's fine w/ me.
But.......are you really ?

I don't do any of that.....lol. That's not to say I didn't use to. Then I ran out of all those root health additives, and ran just the nutes, and found no difference, except the $40 to re-up the root treatments stayed home with pappa.

Changing the solution weekly seems to be all that's necessary. A failed / strangled air stone is the only thing that's ever caused root problems for me.

 

[BigLittlejohn]

lol. Planting is probably the only part that I do "simply". I am always tinkering with the feeding recipe etc.

I didnt used to do any of that before (innoculation) but I found noticeable differences in root health and plant growth as result.

BTW I am just sharing what I do and what works for me. I would never try to dissuade someone from doin something that works for them.

Wait.....you mean we're not moving into the 'you suck', 'you suck worse' obligatory next phase of discussion?

And today there was this cat on the Bodhi thread talking about the 'pos vibe' from the people there.

who are you people, and what are you doing to RIU ??

@BigLittlejohn - Blue Dream is @ 40 days and looking awesome - had to cop a few singles from Choice.

 

[BigLittlejohn]

Amos Now that Ive cured it, Blue Dream is the best tasting thing in my stable. A great daytime smoke because its light and energetic enough to not slow you down, but strong enough to feel it. I have a clone at day 49 going strong. Good yielder too. I am regretting not taking another cut or two.

lol. Plenty of others enjoy that line of discussion, Im here to help and learn, learn and help.

What nutes you using? I find flora nova good but to organic. Gonna roll with uncle bob's recipe this next round.

 

[BigLittlejohn]

House and Garden nutes for me mostly. I do mix a few other things in.

 

[Amos Otis]

GH - Maxi Gro, Maxi Bloom, Liquid Kool Bloom, Powder Kool Bloom - different mix at different stages. I pretty much follow the manufacturer's guideline, and find most plants dig it. The one's that don't I don't need.

Yeah I did the aqua flakes and roots. I used them when first came out and they wanted you to wait. Twenty mins for A and twenty mins for B. I got impatient with that but had good results.

I used coco in my net cup this run. I use 3" in my dwc and just plant seed straight into system. Fill the water just the the bottom of the coco so it stays most. Didn't have to hand water or anything. No moving around or reporting. Turned out alright lol.
