Whats up 600. Just had a question for anyone in the know about hydro. A few of my clones are rooting and im wondering how long or big the root mass should get before putting them into the dwc buckets.

Im getting real close here to having the sytem fully operational with women in all buckets. If i could just get the few annoying leaks sealed:wall:. Im thinking by weeks end all 15 clones should be rooting good. Just not sure how long i can leave them in the cloner with just plain h2o before they start dying?. Any advice guys and gals?:?: 1BMM

Ive been real busy last few days but i will get up some pics soon.:peace:

It is sorta nft/ dwc or something. The water is flowing 24 hours a day... if I had a bigger water pump there would be enough dissolved oxygen from the sloshing around... but my pump is small, so I have the airpump making bubbles for each of the plants... that's what the lines to the pots are. The tubes are a little more than halfway full of water.

I use Gravity by Humboldt County's Own... I think it's the same as a pk booster, not sure. It works wonders though.

The roots just have to touch water, so if you can fill the buckets to where the roots are wet you are good. It will just take a shit load of water to keep them 15 girls alive.

I don't have a cloner, but I would say you can leave them in there on H20 till they start looking yellow and eating their own leaves. Until then they are good.

You bought nutes yet? I was thinking it's a bitch of a drive, but you might want to buy the veg nutes first, see how the system runs and how often you change and such... then go back for the flower nutes you need.

Can't wait to see them babies take of in the hydro! :bigjoint:

Evening all (but not in the voice of Dixon of Doc Green) hope you are all doing good. I think everyone has had there recent Q's answered so just wanted to say hi,
oh, swish, actually I was going to say, throw us up a pic, or just assume that she is dying, do you mean week nine of flower? they must be nearly there surely? mine always look pretty disgusting when I chop them, haha.

Have a good evening, day, afternoon, morning, (not necessarily in that order) but just have a good un!

Thanks Jig. Thats not actually a bad idea as im a broke bitch at the moment. I think they can probly stay in there for a few weeks.

Im going to get the hydro system finished today soon as the wife gets home. Just need a transfer pump and some air pumps. Got to do some diy hunting.

Question. Could i use some of the fox farms veg nutes in the cloner if i need to? Ive got just a little big bloom left. I got plenty of grow big 6 4 4. Im just thinking they may have to veg in the cloner awhile. In theory its really the same concept as being in the dwc buckets. I plan on the trip to get the DM nutes here in the next couple of weeks.

I also have this alaska fish fert 5 1 1 that im told is basically a veg nute. Just stalling for time really. update comong later tonight promise. Peace 1BMM

i use malases almsot all carbo loaded products are just malases and sugar

i was on a thread the other day and this guy was sayin flushing doesnt work at all and their is never a need to flush cuz it doesnt do any thing and i tried tellin him their is a differnec and i can tell. than he referede me to a website were they have been doin like 150 yeasr of testing flushing and what not. now it is science and it says flushing has no point to it but i dont beleive that. any one else believ flushing is pointless.

also i put 2 purple indica and 1 shiskberry into flower today so i have 3 shishkaberry and 2 purp indica in flower and 1 more purpo goin in when my big girl is doen

hey masonman,,, this is kind've weird for me to post since i get all my advice from you, DST and jig but im currently running dwc system as well. if the roots are submerged in the mix its all good.if not then you gotta use pump with drip lines. I did notice that a good air stones makes a big diff. At first i had a single 12" air stone but it wasnt moving the water that well ( my res holds 11 gallons ), so I added two more and it kept the surface in constant motion.The more oxygenated the water is the better, it helps to keep your mix clean as well by spitting all the impurities to the surface.The key to a good dwc is oxygen

Jigfresh, my partner used some gravity on this grow. We're harvesting saturday morning. From what I could tell when I saw/felt them last friday, they did feel like the most dense nugs we've grown so far and that's about seven or eight grows now.

Get ya' some unsulphured molasses if your not growing hydro. It's also good for the plants root system beside her flowers. Jorge Cervantes highly recommends its use. The molasses is way cheaper and as he says, it's 'the secret ingredient' in many a bloom booster.

It is absorbed by the plants very little, the Carbs are to feed the soil and microbes,
not the plant.

I seriously doubt if I will ever flush my plants again. Didn't flush them this past grow and the smoke was as tasty as could be. I also use a vaporizer, which in my opinion is the way to go. The taste is magnificent. I also don't nute my plants to death. I rarely give them a full strength dose of anything. My method is to give them weak doses of everything but give it to them almost every watering. I also water my plants every day and they are in three gallon containers. Eleven point four liters for my european friends. They each get about twenty five ounces, which I suspect is around six hundred mll, again for my european friends. Once a week I give them all forty ounces of plain water, maybe some cal-mag or molasses added in but no nutes. I think that's around 1200mll. I feed them the last week of flowering, it's only the last three days or so where they get just water.

mcpurple, I'll let you know in let's say two weeks how this batch turns out, no flushing going on in my partners crop either. I'm pretty sure he fed them monday morning for their last feeding and this evening is lights out till saturday when we chop.

Yeah I don't flush my plants either, I did the very first grow and never again. Never had a "harsh, chemical taste" to my plants either - just the bud with a mild sweet flavor. Unless you nute the hell out of 'em, there isn't any reason to flush at the end.

well i always flush if i can, and i can tell the differenca and a big one. the unflushed always crackles when burnt and hash a very harsh taste to it, ive also noticed it seems to burn faster. then flushed plants. so u dont really have to let me know the differne. well actually mabye its differnet for some people but i for one can for sure tell the differenc in the buds. u can even tell the taste before u harves. after u feed take a leaf off and suck the juice out it will be very bad tasting. and when u have flushed with water for a while that taste will almost be just like water and no chems. i dont know i think its a personl preference i guess but i like to flush

ah just found spider mites on one of the plants i put into flower today. it is weird though only found it on 1 plant on one leaf and all the eggs with like a single mite was on the middle leaf and thats it it was weird. so i took the infected leaf off. srayed them all down with neem. and then released the solders to clean up any i missed. the soldiers are lady bugs wich i need to go get more soon. this method always works for me within the first few days

DAMN !!! why do you guys do this to me ?? I dont know what the hell im gonna do now. I jus finished with week 9 and they have started to amber, not as much as i would like but they're pretty nice, I've been buggin out on wether or not i should start to fush them ...
Question : if i were to just feed molasses with water for these last couple of weeks would it work ?? if so whats the best type to get for a hydro set up and how much should be added per gallon? I got some organic grade b from when i attempted to de-tox (yeah-right)
