Gyo's DWC Experiment

Looking real good mate

If you got a legit darkstar that 70 days is well worth the wait she is straight fire. I got some darkstar x bay platinum girl scout cookies coming right now and will hopefully be getting deathstar x silver pearl. This is the silver pearl used in the crosses she's a clone only from ohio. That's not my pic either its genotype a's deathstar from their face book page

I took a clone just in case it's legit LOL!

Do you guys have any pics of internode spacing? I think my autos are stretching a little and I'm not sure if it's the T5 or the lighting schedule. Honestly though I read tighter internode space is bad because higher chance of mold and stuff like that but is it more yield too?

Any suggestions? Maybe I'm just buggin' out 'cause they're so young so maybe they just look like that.

is it Darkstar or Deathstar? Bro the auto will stretch once they start flowering its what they do. Some plants have tight node spacing which can be good or bad but mostly good as it creats nice dense buds but no need to trip bro just let it do its thing but just have to make sure humidity isn't high and you have good air flow to prevent mold and with some strains no matter what you do they get it period so just have to see. Everything looks good are you phing the water for those seedlings? just wondering they look a lil finicky is that soil or you feeding them nutes?

Do they look okay?

The lights were off when I turned it on for the pic, is that why they're droopy?

Some of them are in coco, others are in soil but they legit just now started getting aerial height, I'm guessing they hit the bottom of the cup and the little rez down there.

I feed everything with pro-tekt 1.25 for first dose and then 2.5 every watering, regardless of whether I feed or not. It's such a small amount of PPMs that I'm sure it's not hurting. Btw Feeding is the easiest part LOL, I was freaking out about it but it's pretty simple. Start slow and work your way up. I may not be maximizing it but my plants are happy and that's what matters. Plus I heard I can avoid the flush if I feed just right.

I just gave my first auto her first set of nutes and she didn't burn or anything so when I water the second girl I'll do the same, just a 1.25 ml of grow and 2.5 ml of pro-tekt.

I planted some Grape God in soil and coco. Both popped the soil today

Omfg, sorry I'm high as fuck and I can't upload pics right apparently.

Yea droopy leaves from being in the dark happens so no need to worry about that and just remember you have plants at different stages so all wont be able to handle the same amount of nutes. You are right about working your way up with nutes you can always add more you cant take away once they are in there so stick to that and you should be good. Plants in soil shouldn't need much nutes at all coco plants will need it but everything is looking good bro so just keep it up. Long way to go but once they start taking off growth is tremendous

Really hope I got some dank ass bud in here brotha, I will def let you know!

Long way to go but feelin' good about the distance

Yo my old buddy TaGyo how it going... great to see you have a grow going and it's looking pretty good so far, do you plan on topping or FIM any of your plants?

Whoever told you tighter internode spacing was a bad thing might have been high when you guys were communicating lol imo, but tighter internal spacing won't necessarily give you a higher yield but it will definitely increase the density of the buds...Here's a couple of pics of my internode spacing at day 25 from seed and 5 inches tall.

I just read up on the Cheese XXL and they just grow like that. Just not what I was expecting, pic day

My regular plants look like yours do EW, wait till you see the Cheese XXL spacing.

Sick as a dog guys, will update very soon when I recover, just laid up in bed right now after a bad dinner and what feels like the start of the flu.

Both orphans and autoflowers are showing extreme preflower. Hooked up my second 1000w today. Gonna wait until the autos stop stretching to switch them over. I figure since they're only getting 13 hours in the veg tent anyway, 12 hours with closer and more intense light should help bud output.

Yo man I got somethin' for y'all y'all gonna like.

@akhiymjames Transplanted two of your girls!

The height is on the auto.

The veg tent, all the stuff next to the seedling tray is @akhiymjames genetics.

Just wanna thank everyone for helping me along the way @DirtyNerd, @eastcoastmo @zchopper420

Honestly though I think I got this so far. It's really not difficult at all, they kind of tell you what they want, you just gotta listen and read.

Let me know what you guys think! I did burn a few of the coco plants with too much Dyna Gro because I underestimated how much 1.25 ml of Dyna Gro Grow was or how small the seedlings were but it's all good, live and learn right!

No worries buddy, any time at all, I know akhyim and DN would feel the same too
Your girls are looking good mate, you hit the nail on the head about reading your plants for what they need, live by that principle and everything else is easy!

What would you guys do to lower temps in your grow tent? Last night it got up to past the 80s in my 8x4 2000w Flower. They seem okay and I checked their water levels and they're still good. No leaf curling from heat or anything, just happy lookin' MJ.

I have a 6" fan attached to a 6" carbon filter. I have the fan set to high on my variable fan speed all the time. I have two 16" wall mounted fans on the poles, both oscillating at low over the plants. I was thinking of getting a bigger inline fan because I don't think its pulling in enough air.

Another option would be to cool the room around it. The air comes out and blows into the same room and the room is normally 80 degrees when flower and veg lights are on. If I cool that down to like 70-75 you think that will drop grow light temps or I should just get a new inline fan or both?

Do you have your tent completely sealed all the time? If so why not just open up the front of the tent you'll lose a little light but it will definitely drop the temperature inside the tent. Can you run an AC unit? Can you air cool your lights?

It's in the same room as my veg tent and my veg tent has a diff lighting schedule so I couldn't leave the front flaps open, they'd probably switch to veg when the veg lights came on. I do that when I'm awake but my lights are on from 10 pm to 10 am (Closer to 9:30 to 9:30) for reduced rates at night. It should be 8 to 8 and I might switch it to that but around 8 my house is still hot so I like to put it on at 10 when my heat kicks off 'cause me and the girlfriend are normally watching netflix by then.

might have to run an AC unit, yeah both are air-cooled with a 6" inline I was gonna upgrade to an 8" while I have a little money.

Oh BTW I'm gonna try SOG instead of DWC so I don't have to fuck with these temperatures. have you done any research into other methods? hydro seems fun but 2 lbs a month from SOG is ridic.

Okay I understand your dilemma, yea that's all I can think of also getting a bigger inline fan and ac would probably definitely do the trick. As a matter of fact my first grow years and years ago was done hydroponically in these things called water farms I actually think they still make them, and I used GH nutrients, and I completely fucked up over fertilize the shit out of my girls and killed them...the second time I used the water farms I veged too long and the plants grew directly into the light and I burnt the shit out of all the tops, so I'm like forget this in the future I am going to just get me some good old-fashioned dirt and start over again.....Stopped growing and 10 years of research later and now I'm here! Barney's farm Critical Kush 43 days from seed 9 inches tall...Just lollipop them some last night getting them ready for flower. Lol forgot to move the Xbox box that's what I used to hold my old dusty fan. Btw I would do sea of green but I live in an illegal state so you know how that go!
