OK so thats what this grows about. This is my first journal and I'm very excited. I hope that I learn a lot with the help of RIU.

There are a few things that I am trying differently than most. First is the vertical scrog method, second is the DIY nutes, third... i really hate typing so i will be trying a work around by just writing all of my notes and the post's copy on the actual pictures themselves. Please anyone let me know if this method of conveying information, notes on the pictures, does not work for you, is too confusing, or you cannot read the type and i will gladly type out the post instead. All pictures should be viewed in order to make the most sense, the order goes from the top most left picture of the set across to the right down to the bottom most right picture of the set.

Well here goes, These four pictures are of the new buckets, stock fresh from the manufacture.

Please no one post until you see this:

Painting the buckets

First set of build pics: 10 pictures, these pictures are of an explanation of how the pvc valve works, tracing and cutting the hole for the valve, and adhering the valve to the bucket lid.

second set of build pics: These pictures are of finishing the addition of the PVC valve, adding a clamp to the salvaged screen from my last buckets, fixing the screen and clamp combo to the floating piece of the PVC valve, and the last four are of the vertical scrog rotating on top of the bucket.

third set of pictures: 8 pictures, these pictures are of adding the air stone to the the buckets

Last set of the initial pictures: 4 pictures, The first two are of the blueberry clone from a week ago when the first real signs of new growth emerged. The second two pictures are of the clone today after a week of growth. They are also pictures of the clone in the new buckets, and the buckets in the grow room, as you can see they are a much better fit than my previous round buckets.

cool setup. Was that clone of an already flowering plant that you revegged? If so, how long did you put the photoperiod for it to reveg?

Thanks, grassified.

Yes is was taken from a flowering plant and revegged, The roots took about three weeks to take under 24/0. After that you can see from the post above yours what the growth has been like since it was placed in the dwc bucket from my aero cloner.

plus rep for being the first to post on my journal
