Changes of plans, I think I might throw into flower today. Do you guys think ill still get some pretty large plants? i hear that plants in DWC stretch a little bit more than other systems...
WS: the important thing is that they are fairly rooted in the bucket before 12/12, if not well rooted, they could end up looking like a plant in soil. Yes they stretch alot (most strains) so it is a balancing act. They look ready to flip to my naked eye, based on height alone. Fantastic grow...tents are the easiest to setup and remove quickly.
PPM is around 800 and PH has been pretty stable at 5.8
most of the plants are going to have atleast 6 long colas each from what it looks like so far, they are all pretty even for the most part. Tomorrow i'm going to tie them down and put them in their final position.
Here is the vacume effect that I was talking about, see how the walls are sucked in, that is a 2x4 in the center..
The mutated plants are still the same, have 1 bladed leaves but flower development seems to be normal so far. The Northern lights are kicking the shit out of the Grapefruits, as far as bud development stands. Grapefruit needs to catch up!! The plants are sucking up nutes faster than I can keep up with topping off every night, it's nuts.
The plants closest to the controler buckets seem to all be dark green and the leaves are droopy and just look like shit, anyone have any ideas? The larger the root mass gets the more problems I have with the resirculating drip lines, the controler buckets are pumping out water faster than gravity feeds back to it, real pain in the ass. If anyone ever decides to go with a multi bucket DWC system;
Do not use 1/2 inch tubing! there is not reason for using it, as soon as the root ball gets big it will start to clog the straight barbs at the bottom of the bucket. I put up a trellis the other day, it's helping a lot to support the branches, I think i'm going to cut all the lower bullshit off the plants tomorrow.
Wheres the pics of the ones that you say arent doin well, all pics above look great. I dont have any experience with DWC walker so im not much help. There is a thread here with a very nice recurc DWC system.
I'm harvesting in about 3 days, the yield is going to be weak, very weak. I encountered numerous problems that effected the plants terroribly. Judging from the looks of things im going to have under 2 lbs :-( oh well. ill post picstures tonight
