DARKSIDERS DIAMOND DAWGS...{Top dawg} {Stardawg Manny}

[DARKSIDER]

Here we go,.. A first for me in the UK section with plenty photos and updates along the way .. First a little rundown of the set up 2, Atami Wilma Systems,, 9 pots each, 18 litre pots,, homemade drip rings,, 2 pond pumps,4000lt instead of the ones which comes with these sort of systems much better flow rate with the pond pumps, and quieter too, but also have submersible aquarium pumps with filters in the res running 24 hours non stop always just to keep the flow moving and in case of any debri falling of plant into water better be safe than sorry. The nutes will be canna a and b flores and a bit liquid silicon if needed a bit of liquid seaweed and ph down and a small amount of hydrogen food grade peroxide thats the lot, nothing more nothing less plain and simple.. The lights are leds,,
QB boards 3500k.. 720 watts each system plain and simple, they have served me well lately no complaints from me whatsoever, maybes in time, i may add but thats not now,, the res size is 140 and 150 litres,, older and newer side by side,, and will be running 18 TOPDAWG STARDAWG MANNYS gifted to me a while ago from a generous gardener.. Thanks a lot for looking in Cheers ..

[DARKSIDER]

@ Mitsuharu dolphins and mackerels very soon my friend keep an eye open weather is warming up..

@ cheapwine ran these a few times now so hopefully they should give back some sparkling diamonds so to speak..

@ Dequilo will try to get it right and take it to the darkside but with a bit luck and a bit diamond shine maybes stay on the brightside..

@ ukbudz Thanks for the company i hear you on the stardawg rep and agree if grown well shes a winner all my pals cry out for her always ..

@ Budshine yes its easy for me plug and play at times and yes 4 heatsink boards and 12 120w quantum boards with added uv and some sort of reds or far reds new compared to my old boards only used these twice as of now..

@ sdd420 Nice to have you here my friend ted lasso pmsl and woof woof to you too hope all is well..

@ stunkfrunk Nice to see you here yes these systems more or less are the easiest ive ever used so far but then again i only done soil and dwc previously this suits me i hear you on bowie too old school class of 74 i think ..

[DARKSIDER]

Thank You Uludag for looking in much appreciated The ladies are starting to show crowns as i call them so lift off has commenced room temperature is at 28c.. ec is at a steady 2.0... ph is up and down between 5.2 and 6.2... humidity is ok for now 60 rh.. But will drop it when need be, and for now they are liking it, water temperature in both rezes is at 23c a little high but it doesnt seem to bother these ladies they are still praying towards the light ran it numerous times at that now and if it dont bother them it sure as hek dont bother me, but will have to remind the wife keep the bloody heating off so to speak Anyhow thats all for now a few added photos will try to update weekly but fishing season is on the cards and must get the boat ready for the season as well as other chores so for now stay safe always and thanks again guys for looking in always appreciated

Will try my best Uludag on the fishing side, but for now here is where we are at as of today, Girls not been awake long, i would normally start a deffol by now 21 days in, but too lazy today, so hopefully tomorrow pending, stats are more or less the same apart from the rh has gone up a little bit but i aint worried plants are loving it up to now also took the next 30 plus cuttings of the 5 mothers i had, so have plenty for next round in, also will make new mothers as per usual anyhow will get another photo of the after shots, ie deffol, so can see before and after this week if at all i do deffol, well thanks for those looking in and stay safe as always guys take care..

 

[buzzmobile]

Here I was thinking all along that you only went fishing. Thanks for sharing your grow.

 

[DARKSIDER]

Hi buzzmobile nice to see you drop by much appreciated,, yeah i try to get fishing and growing in as much as possible fishing season starting soon so hopefully it will all come together sooner rather than later and yes i hear you on the deffol,,, think i let them get a little bit bigger than i expected, but still all good here is where we are at as of today. deffol done about as much as i could half a sack full, string all attached now so will be tucking where and when a bit lst here and there big lights not been long on so glad i got it finished all stats same as last few days but forgot to add ppfd which is between 600 to a 1000 but varying on sides but plant tells me its ok for now im suprised as these ladies are unhappy usually above a certain ppfd but will watch closely and the ppfd meter im using is an Apogee MQ 500 FULL SPECTRUM QUANTUM METER it does me had it a while now it helps a lot anyhow here is photos with lights out and just coming on,, hard work done for now and thanks guys for looking in always appreciated..

[DARKSIDER]

Thanks for looking in @RudeDog its been a while and thanks also @mr.brunch for looking in, Things are getting there slowly and surely and all going fine for the time being just done the weekly photos, flash on camera as lights were off as you can see by the dark coloured photo it always looks better when flash on for photos in the dark, i now see why lots do it but if have time will get some with lights on next time naturalish Right stats have changed a little rh is going up on a daily basis but im not worried its actually hit 75 twice at least by my hygrometer still not worried famous last words i can pull it down as previously noted in the past ph has hit 5.2 a few times all good ec is now sitting at 2.2 water temp remains the same more or less and ppfd is the same i aint adjusted the heights at all checking in on them daily ordered a wall fan so should have that soon waiting on delivery 18 inch similar to the Oscillating pedestal i have as on full speed its not moving as much air around the plants as i would like so if it keeps them happpy im sure i will be too.anyhow heres where im at as of today so till the next time stay safe and thanks for looking in at my little grow cheers guys its appreciated..
