Blackforest's RDWC ^2 Grow

i'm still going thru all my Nirvana beans. i've had great luck with all their fem stuff so far. and they are cheap too which is nice. they always send freebies which i might try a few outdoors this spring and see what happens.

6 newbies sprouted nicely. I can't find any images or journals about this cross, should at least be fun. Silverback by In House Genetics (gg#4xblack cherry pie). Reg seeds so It's going to take me a minute to get some female clones into the system.

He says his BCP is a big producer, so we'll see what happens with that. I believe his bcp is a male, he has crossed it with most of his gear.

Getting there! Not the best images, but mostly cloudy, not a lot of amber yet. At day 50.Almost like you can see the thc forming in a couple of the heads.





Silverbacks are doing well too...

Looking to cut down on New Years Day! Best run yet. No bugs, no pathogens, nothing. Clean as can be. She really started to stack up last week. Can't wait for the next grow.

Fantastic! So much resin on those rails! You doing a hash run I hope?! Have a great holiday!

Thanks @Mineralz She's very frosty and smells super sour. Those resin rails are crazy! I'll run the trim and larf and make some shatter. That's how I found rui, is when I was learning to make wax. I've made some killer in the past, but ironically I can't smoke it anymore. For some reason it makes my stomach sick and makes me want to throw up. Something to do with the smell and taste, it just does not mix right, everyone else absolutely loves it though. I'll be sure to throw up some pics when it's all done.

Day 56 is tomorrow, going to let them go 60 or 61. Lots of cloudy, hardly any amber's yet. I used to cut this down at day 56, because the pack said 50-60 days, but the new packs say 60-70 days. I've been cutting some larf here and there because there's plenty, and I'm totally out and am tired of buying it. Not to mention it's pretty damn good already. My silver backs are doing well, and those will be my next run. With easier access to top quality genetics, I'm just going to try and run a different strain each cycle of the top stuff going around at the time. I think next round though I'll go fem seeds so I can go straight into the rdwc and not have to sex anything. I still have a blue power female I'm going to cross with a male from this batch of silver back's, because why not cross two top rated seed companies and see what happens. Hell, that's what they do anyway!

Looking great ,

Irgnore the date on the packet, the only real way to ensure you reach full potency is to check using a microscope.

After an extensive trichrome investigation, I decided to chop. Yield looks pretty decent for this strain.

Ended up with 23oz of top bud and about 4oz of popcorn plus a large tub of sugar trim.

Any seeds in those buds?

Nah, not a one. It looks like a seed pod on the left, but think it's just the underside of the leaf, although on some tops the calyx's really swelled up, but no beans. I have one female left I'm going to cross with that silverback just because why not. Looking for an OGKB cross for the next one after these silverback's. Lots of good looking gear out there!

Thought I'd revive this sucker real quick even though it's really ^3 grow.
This round it's In House Genetics Cherry Gorilla (gg#4xblack cherry pie) formally know as Silverback. Just wanted to show this nice growth from this girl. She a monster.

1st Pic on March 6th, second pic today the 31st. Suckers took off in a little over 3 weeks. I Hydro

Been watching theis thread for awhile gota say,good work here mate.
I'm going to run something similar to your system pretty soon,well its pretty much the same,6 Plants in closed sycle RDWC the only difference is the 5x5 then i got for this project.
So i was wondering how do you clean the system?cuz i see you went with PVC pipes which means its pretty much permanent,which makes it harder to clean (?)

There are 4 rubber connector pieces on the pvc, you just can't see in this pic, so it does come apart into 4 pieces. AS for keeping it clean though, I don't have any real build up of anything in the system, so there is no real scrubbing or anything. After a cycle, I'll run bleach water through for a day. I do change out the water once a week. I just have a small pump on a hose and put it into the control bucket and suck all the water down the drain, then fill it up again w/ a pre-made solution. Pretty easy.

You can see the rubber couplers here in this image.

No build up?
My last grow i tried scrog for the 1st time so i couldn't take the plant out of the tent once a week to rinse the bucket and change the water like I usually do.
After the harvest when i looked inside the bucket shit was crazy,lots of gooe on the air stones and everything,and I was too using Lucas's.
Well,maybe a good water circulation does its part here,thanks for the answer man,and btw to u really get an effective drainage with the small pump?

I use hydroguard and a chiller to prevent any slime or bacteria growth so the water is usually very transparent with slight coloring from the nutes. I guess I don't know what you mean by effective drainage. I have a small pump I put into the control bucket once a week to drain the system. It will drain to the bottom of the pvc, so there is a small amt of water left in each bucket. Takes like 4-5 min to drain and fill this 28g system.

Picked up some in house genetics black cherry pie bx

Whatchu feedimg them? Took off quick.
