Number 2: Kosher Kush DWC

[intergalactic_harvester]

week 2.5 veg.
7 nodes on 1, 6 nodes on 1, 5 nodes, and 4 nodes. smaller plants slowly catching up almost even with each other. just the one growing insane.
still got the crumpled growth, but it doesnt seem to be affecting them in any negative way, just appearance.
roots are pouring out, rapid start worth the $80 bottle.
thinking of tearing out the root barriers. 3 layers of screen compressed togetber and they just go right thru. no problem really, and i will refit next grow with a very fine stainless mesh. was worth a shot.
gave 2 girls the choppedy chop this morning. the other 2 will be ready sunday.
these girls are thirsty too! added almost 1.5 gallons ph water at midweek to both reservoirs. Rapid Start!
thats it for now. happy friday GWE!

Wow what a pristine landscape. I knownothing about the hydto other than growing some very expensive butter lettuce and spinach. I Really admire the art of your hydro Fabulous roots!

[Jibblerjoe]

Looking good.

[intergalactic_harvester]

thank you both kindly! for the compliments and for checking in. building this stuff is fun for me as watching the girls run thier course!
bonus tonight. stripped and bound the crazy one. when i got home from visiting my wife at the hospital (hip surgery) i found her growth tips in the light. so i fixed it. and without breaking it this time, lol.

[POKEDSMOT]

She's gonna have shoulders like Arnold.

[intergalactic_harvester]

she gonna need em to hold up them 2 ft colas. HAHAHAHAHA! day dreams of a new grower.

[OzBud]

I almost bought some rapid start but the price scared me haha

[intergalactic_harvester]

oh dude i know! and i tried it first on the peppermint kush when they were vegging. first week didnt impress me but week 2 was crazy. quit using it tho cuz it messed with my ph and freaked me out. they got hella roots now, lol.
it works well enough i will get more when i need it. seen it with my own eyes they say. root wizard supposed to be great stuff too, but way too much for me to spend on a trial run.

[intergalactic_harvester]

good morning GWE !!!

[CCisme]

Aww look at those lil muscles! Very pretty lady!

[intergalactic_harvester]

thank you, but dont let the pretty fool you. the grow in the blooming tent also had a single plant out of 5 that grew like her, and ended up being the reason i had to scrog them! im glad tho because now i know what to do to handle a problem child.

[Jibblerjoe]

Nice .

[intergalactic_harvester]

thanks joe. made me smile to see 2 heads turned up this morning.

[furrysparkle]

Looking great, my taproot just popped out! Hopefully mine look as great as yours, keep it up!!

[intergalactic_harvester]

thank you! wheres ur journal furry? sounds like i missed the prelude!
im sure urs will look great. if my clumsy ass metal worker hands can do it, sort of, then you got no worries. i say sort of because i broke 8 out of 10 first bends last grow, lol. but only lost 1.

Here you go!!

[intergalactic_harvester]

hell yeah, thanks furry!

[intergalactic_harvester]

first cuts complete. all will be stripped and bound by mid week.
going full nutes with today's reservoir change.

god this grow is moving fast.
been thinking of making a different version of the scrog setup. the deteriation of light intensity from center out is becoming more and more obvoius in my bloom tent, even with the 3XL hood.
saw some V shape screens online and im looking into that now.
have a great mornin folks!

[Tika]

Nice! Keep 'em comin!

[intergalactic_harvester]

thank you tika, and you know i will!

[furrysparkle]

Looking great!In the first pic the one with more rounded leaves is that a diff species or still cannabis just weird?

[intergalactic_harvester]

nah, all the same strain, kosher tangie. just getting wierd crumply growth. starting to think it partially related to wind burn because when i was topping n cleaning i noticed the slightest crispy curl starting to form. those 2 are alzo closest to the fan. so.... lol.
they all look like potatoe plants before stripping tho, lol. those fingers were 2 inches wide, look like round individual leaves instead of fingers.

[furrysparkle]

Still good looking plants!!

[intergalactic_harvester]

thanks furry!

[intergalactic_harvester]

week 3.5 veg.
just a real quick one. my little monster now has 8 heads. and so far shes manifolding kinda nice. wish i could say that about the otber 3, lol. night folks.

[alltatup]

Just gorgeous, harvester!! There's always a front runner... The others got to do they thang... Your setup is a BEAST!!!

[intergalactic_harvester]

thanks atu!
and yup, there is only so much uniformity in a group of living organisms!

[GDTRFB95]

Wow talk about handy! Beautifully design and fabrication on those units. Its setups like that male me want to try dwc. Babes are looking happy as well can't wait to see how the mystery strain turns out 😀

[GDTRFB95]

I'd really like to try it. How much about to build setup similar to yours but more basic? Under $200 per tub?

[intergalactic_harvester]

i only spent about $125 on each just like they are.
stripped down basic to include:
20 gal tub
water pump
air pump
4 airstones
air n water tubing
2 net pots
can go with just these things for less than $75.

[GDTRFB95]

Thats not too bad at all

[intergalactic_harvester]

week 4 veg.

lots of work today, gotta try n be short here.
res temps in the 80s. ice bottles 3 times a day down to 74°. not enough.
all other factors goldy zone.
early signs of root rot. roots darkening, that funky stench faint but present.
plants look absolutely fine, but since icing tbem down last few days, ALL growth has damn near stopped. only getting them down to 74° this way, but maybe im shocking them?
gotta get it stabilized in tbere dammit.
broke 2 necks on first bends, of course. this strain aint so bulletproof as the peppermint, lost both arms even tho they were still attached. no biggie. pros: gives a little more needed grow space. cons: totally scrapped my roadmap for scrog. but i can deal. still considering killing 2 of them anyway, especially if i can get that crazy growth back on again.
nute change in a cupl hrs. already at full nutes with absolutely no issue there, so its TDS time, how far can we go? lets find out.
ok, yall saw the pretty one, lol. heres the reality show!

[alltatup]

It's the root rot stopping growth, harvester; that's what happened on my last grow. They looked fine, but stopped growing. Get some grapefruit seed extract to kill algae. And if you have to, clean roots off with a sprayer. (See what I wrote on my grow 3 journal in response to you.)

[intergalactic_harvester]

gtdxxx...lol, ive done it that way too but they stiffen hard once you bend em and still break when you go at em again. its only the first bend so hard for me. im just clumsy.

[intergalactic_harvester]

atu,
gotcha girl, findin me some of that gse right now!

[Tika]

Side note: grape seed extract is good to add to your water pick and grape seed oil is good for the skin. I use it in my salt scrubs....
off topic but WTF still pertinent

[intergalactic_harvester]

salt scrubs. must be a girly skin cleansing thing? lol

jkng tika!

[Tika]

Thanks for the laughs!
AND although I like nothing better than an Egyptian bath with home grown ( on topic) loofa and skin replenishing oil - I am weather beaten...it actually works as a "MAN SCRUB" who is harvesting his bud without gloves
( works with walnut husks too )... ' course it was created by women..who ALSO harvest bud with out gloves for men who whine about it!
Joke in your corner pocket.
Love it intergalactic and alltat up

[intergalactic_harvester]

baaaahahaha! there it is!!!
but tika, im just smart enough to know that pushing this direction will only bring me grief. been around long enough and married twice (and done. this 1s it) so you could say im damn near housebroke! toilet seat down and all, lol.
a rooster finds no love runnin into a house fulla hens and talkin big ol' shit.

[intergalactic_harvester]

see?

[alltatup]

It's all in good fun. I don't think either of you put an end to the battle between the sexes...

[intergalactic_harvester]

atu....there can be no heaven without hell...

[alltatup]

When I first saw the comment, I thought you were referring to smoking weed and dealing with root rot, but then I scrolled up and saw what the comment pertained to... Six of one, half a dozen of the other...
