Diggitydank's second DWC grow (PPP x Sour Diesel)

It's nice to see the seeds popping!!
The clones look good. Are they starting to get crystals yet?

Yup, they're starting to get frosty. Best of all the weather has been so nice for the past week. I haven't had to run the A/C for the past 10 days and I'm still at or under 82F lights on and at about 72-74F with the lights off.

I still need another tub, though. Lowe's doesn't carry those 3-gallon totes anymore. What the shit?

Sounds like nice weather! I'll trade ya. You just turned off your A/C and I already turned on my furnace. FUCK $350 gas bills!!!

I'm sure you'll find a tub strong enough somewhere. Most regular department store bought ones aren't very strong. I found a small one I plan to use for cloning. Another donation to the cause from work! hehe

I'm actually thinking of putting my moms into soil pots for more room. But I'm afraid with them being in soil, I won't have fast enough growth to take cuttings every three weeks.

I need a bigger veg/clone box. I am sooooo broke though.

I know that feeling! money SUCKS

I didn't realize it would make that big of a difference on growth rate being in soil and not dwc. Then agian I've still got a lot to learn!

great looking plants!!

Ok... so I guess I was being a bit of a poodle-bitch. Forgive me... I just adopted a dog. He's a 2 year old white pit bull. I named him Rhino... White Rhino.

I'll get some pics of my new security system when he's awake. It's sleepy time right now.

Now that he's all settled in and comfortable, time for some bud porn.

I used my loupe without the focus lens in combination with my cell phone camera and wound up getting a few good shots... for once.

And without further adieu...

We have a record low lights-on temp of 79 today... and the high of 84 was a new low, or high, or low/high... wtf ever.



Here is the tent in its entirety





Violet at 7 weeks of 12/12 she's really starting to bloom now








A few shots of the Emerald clones at 4 weeks flowering

Nice update!! The plants are looking happy.
Thats cool I like dogs. Most of them anyway. Some can't be trusted though.
How cold do you get in the winter? Are temps a year round problem?

Trimmed a branch off of Violet. Microwave quick-dried it and I am fucked up!

About to have some fajitas and then the rest of the early-pickins' go in the vaporizer.

lookin damn good man keep it up i like the 1st pic the best!!

Oh man... it's been 11 months since I've smoked this strain.

I forgot how good it is.

It's got about 10-15% amber trichomes at this point. Very racy head high. But quite a pain reliever already.

I can't wait until Violet is finished. I'm planning on chopping her on November 9th. With the 5 Emerald clones to be felled on November 30th, and the 4 Violet clones 2 weeks after those.

I wish I had a better camera. I just don't feel like the phone does these ladies justice anymore.

Temps... I have just witnessed 74 degrees with the HPS on. Previous low was 79. The ladies are loving it!

-------------------------------------------------------

Also news from the bagseed front!

I have 4 perfectly healthy seedlings, all just starting their third set of leaves.

Glad things are going good! The schedule seems about perfect, you should have nicely cured bud by xmas time!!

Ahhhh... and then?

Great journal, man!
Just went through again. Look at all those gorgeous chickies ovulating!

How's the dog settling in?

I'm a proud owner of a 115# Pit.
Wouldn't trade him. We've always had the breed.
I never used to use the same dog for security as our household dog.(for obvious reasons) But this guy's been with our program for 11 years.
On the chain... He's on the job. Period.
Off the chain. He's grandma moses with pretty scars and toy boulders.

how big is that tent? and how much do you expect to yield from this setup? Im looking into buying a tent and makin a bubbler

They're looking good dig

tigerdirect has some decent cameras for under $100, maybe Santa will bring you one

Happy new year motherfuckas!

Pardon my absence, but shit got fucked for a while. A roommate ditched us on $700 worth of bills and our electricity was cut off.

Henceforth, my strain (PPPxSour Diesel) shall be known as "Powerline" because of the situation that it was born in.

More to tell on that whole shindig later.

Status... Emerald lives! She is currently going back into vegging again after starting to flower from the winter sun, been under 24/0 for 17 days now. Her growth is amazing.... so much bushier. I've read stuff about doing this on purpose for the effect.

I have 6 clones already that were taken whilst pruning Emerald's dead areas. They were flowering at the time. One already has a nice set of roots... I expect the others to follow suit within the next few days.

I was down, but I ain't out, motherfuckers!

Happy NEW YEAR!!!

Oh yeah... I did manage to yield over 5 ounces of some deliciously dank weed. The "61 Day" crop was a beast. I am a heavy smoker and that shit would knock me the fuck out. The high has virtually no ceiling... smoke more, get higher. It can be overdone. I tweaked the fuck out watching Revenge of the Sith with friends one night!

FUCK roommates thats don't pay!!! I'm glad things are still rolling along for ya!! Sounds like some great smoke.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It is. Too bad it's all gone.

hey diggity, how do you change the water/nutes when they need to be added/changed? seems like a difficult process being they're 3 gallon rubbermaids stuck in a tent(pretty immobile to what i can see). maybe like a drain nozzle like they would have on sports water coolers would work, but it appears you don't have one. whats your process?

Quite simple... I have another 3 gallon tub that I put the plants in while I change the reservoir. They just sit water free for a few minutes while I clean the tub and mix a new batch.
