I'm moving the big ladies to the big room with the urdwc, and they'll finish together. The other room will now become the veg room

Nice I was actually thinking of going perpetual once I finish this aero cycle. But I just remembered that I am lazy and will not want to mix up nutrients for 4 plants at different stages of flower. So nvm on that. Good Talk, lol.

I find the easiest perpetual is harvesting once a month, so 2 stages of flower half 4 weeks in.. yeah it's two nutrient mixes, but my urdwc gets nutrient changes every 2 weeks, so it's no where as horrible as when I was dealing only with coco... That was a lot of work

Gunna be tasty. I just popped a capsule and I am ready for design work, lol. I've never done coco but from what I have heard is you have to be on top of it. Constantly feeding and watering. If I go back to normal hydro It would be aero again or maybe I'd try URDWC.

I am a huge fan of the aero I had going. But I started getting issues with leaks, etc (it is just what happens when you ghetto rig a unit out rubber mades). One day I'll do another setup but it really taught me a lot about the actual growth of the plant. And if I didn't see the success that I have had the last few grows I probably would have gave up and sold all of my equipment.

Yeah coco has its ups and downs... Virtually impossible to go on vacation..unless you have an automatic watering system...
But at that point a urdwc just makes more sense.. you use a fraction of the nutrients, and the growth is multiplied ...
I haven't had any issues with leaks, after changing my pump set up.. and the system is expandable

Hey there, everything looks awesome great work! Curious on the preflower dark period..heard a lot of both sides, I take it you've had good success doing this? Bud development must be evident much sooner I would imagine? Keep it green bud!

Thank you,
In terms of the dark period, I feel it helps reduce stretch and yes with the onset of bud development...I'm flipping my critical kush and a bubble gum with no dark period, tonight so they will be 1 week of 12/12 behind the other ladies.. they are different strains.. so comparisons will be held knowing that.. however I've experimented before and found that it makes a difference..
Darkness at the end of flower, causes them to bust an extra layer of crystals.. ( my theory on that is it's the plants last attempt to protect its seeds (none in our case) so it wants to coat the seeds to help protect them until they germinate.)

Yield on a 1k done right over a pound every time.. I've almost hit 2

Wow! Quality as exciting as the production? Trying to find a great strain to run in half my space to give me both weight and the quality that I demand out of my garden. This way I'll have weight of something at my disposal and can also continue to do multiple strains in the other half of the space, like I love to do. I run 2 1ks in a 6.5'x6.5' tent rite now. Been eyeballing that critical for some time now. I live in maine and I think it would be a rockstar outdoors up here. We may just find out. This is an 8.ball kush from barneys (first grow she's been w me since I bought the first bag of dirt and t5, aka, she's been through hell) haha. Love barneys gens got a pineapple chunk in the veg tent from them that's displaying some gorgeous growth a week and change after sprout. Outve everything I've seen so far in my garden g13 labs blue og is, well, she's amazing. 2 weeks into flower and she was frosted rite up and her stentch is that of unicorns rainbows and the ripest blueberry juices lol il be back w some pics of her when she's a little more mature.

Nice, yeah man ...there 3 common phenos.. 1 that produces considerably more than the others. I have that, but mine has a few different traits also... They are all strong..the less yielding smell a little different. You're going to love it.. oh it also just won 3rd in attitudes annual contest.
Yeah variety is the spice of life and CK is a keeper
