First DWC + PICS

[bignix642]

This is my second grow (first one was soil) first dwc. My seeds came from my last grow that was seed less except for one bud. So i used them and they been veging for 5 to 6 weeks. I've never top them but out of 3 plants i got one that started with three tops and one the has two and one just got one. They started to pre flower and if my eyes are working right i have 3 girls.
My setup is diy 10gl tub, 4x 3.75 net pots jiffypulgs, lava rocks, walmart air pump, technaflora nutes, and a shit load of cfls.
My only question so far is what is the proper way to switch to flower.

Wow man that really looks great. To jump into flowering you just change your lighting schedule to 12/12 and change to flowering nutes. What nute forumla are you using right now?

Also for my info

1. What lighting are you using?
2. What are your temps and res temps?
3. how often did you change your res?

Again man, your grow looks great and Im very envious.

 

[bignix642]

1. 6 42w cfls and 6 26w cfls
2. 76 low 85 max no clue on rez but stays cold to the touch.
3. I used to do it once a week but when they stated to take more tha a gallon a day i just keep adding water and nutes but ill change it if i see the ph start to wonder.
And thanks. Should i do a flush or just change out to flower?

And i also have more pics i've been taking weekly pics for the last 3 weeks if anyone wants to see them?

Yeah post more pics man. Thanks. From what I've read, change the res when switching to flower. Your technaflora nutes should tell you on the directions what strength to do your nutes for flowering.

damn dude looking good....ur way ahead of me...but IMO those look great keep up the good work..how are those nutes doing? id say from the pics good but id like ur opinion. and ya 12/12 is all u do. u still using ur pumps?

 

[bignix642]

Heres pics from week 3.
This is the time when i figured out that my two runt where mutants and one had two head and one had three. And they had no real steady growth till this point.
My nutes were at a 1/4 dose but going to 1/2.

 

[bignix642]

This is where they started to grow a inch a day and the three of them were taking about a gal of water a day.
My nutes went from a 1/2 to a full dose.

 

[texashustle]

Damnit how are yours so much bigger than mine? What strain is that? Maybe I dont have enough light? Im running 6 23w cfls. I have six plants but they are only around 2-4 inches tall.

 

[bignix642]

Ok so there my pics you guys wanted to see.

To the ? about the nutes. Im using i got Technaflora's "Recipe for Success" kit. Now i can say if you just starting this is a great kit. For 30 buck you get a good mix of there products and there easy to use.

To the ? about my pumps. If you mean air pump, yes 24/7. If you mean water pump i dont have one didnt think i needed it. Just bubbles.

Now here some pics of them stems.

Wow your plants look AWESOME! I can't wait till I get to the point you're at. Keep up the good work.

 

[Lkmyblz]

looks great that will yield alot nice bush and the roots look good what nutes do you use for veg?

 

[bignix642]

Thanks the nutes im useing is technaflora bc grow bc boost and a little sugardaddy.

 

[bignix642]

They got about 4 or 5 inches taller and they're really bushing out. I'm using BC boost 15ml a gal, BC bloom 15ml a gal, and awsome blossem 2.5ml a gal. I still think they're girls but only time will tell.
And I'm starting to think that i need more light to cover them, they've bushed out all together to cover about square meter of canopy at about two feet high. I cant wait to see these in full bloom.

 

[loolagigi]

whatcha got for lights bro? looks good. how many weeks in veg? lets get a root porn shot

 

[bignix642]

They're girls. So my seeds i got from my last crop are feminised or i just got real lucky but i got 3 out of 3. They've been growing steady. I'm going to try to get some more pics tomorow. I'm just happy and thought i would tell you guys.

 

[SyNiK4L]

still looking good man. what lights r u using?

 

[bignix642]

A lot of cfls. I think 6 42w and 12 23w cfls and right now there a 50 50 mix of 2700 and 6500. I think ill add 6 more 23w 2700k cfls but i got to build a light setup. And i also got 2 2 foot lights that are 2700 and im going to put them under the plants.

 

[dbo24242]

ahoy man just checkin in and it looks like you're well on the way to growing some nice herbs!

I would definitely suggest a little pruning before you flower. anything that isn't getting direct light is going to bud like shit! and you'll waste a lot of time trimming those little tiny popcorn shake nugs just to make some hash or brownies with them because they suck.

also are you going to be flowering with those CFLs? I wouldn't recommend it but then again I haven't tried or witnessed that so good luck.
