Sorry for the slow delay on the udates. Just hasn't been much to show off.
I did however take more clones about 5 days ago and some are already rooting.
This one is only 3 days old. I cant fucking believe how fast its rooted, Jusy mind boggling.
I have determined that the best choice when cutting a clone is to go for stems that are about the thickness of a tooth pick, and are very flexible soft tissue. Now you can use thicker tougher stemmed cuttings. They will just take longer to root.
I am thinking im just going to let them root and veg in the cloner for a couple weeks till i can get the scratch up to get my Dutch Masters nutes.
Heres a few pics of the fianl draft of the diy ebb/dwc operation.
Here im doing a test flood. Ive had a few leaks that i cant seem to get sealed. And unfortunately this flood is no diffrent. Still got a got damn leak.
Atleast i wont have to manually drain the system this time because i got this bad mamma jammer.
It works just awesome. I have a drain just outside the grow room which i can pump the system almost dry in about 30 min.
Ive also picked up another one of those totes that i made my cadi cloner out of. This one im making a control bucket next to the main rez. This controller rez allows me to flood the system in controlled amounts of liquid. And also helps to know how full the eventual sealed dwc buckets contain.
When it comes time to check ph and ppm or to change out nute mix altogether this control res along with 2 inline check valves allow me to shut off the flow from the main rez to the control rez.
With the main rez valve off and the valve from the control rez open to the dwc buckets i can set the water pump in the conrol rez and pump the garden dwc buckets liquid contents back into the main rez.
I also picked up a rubbermaid cheapo trash can just incase the main rez cant hold all the liquid. And im sure it probably wont. But this way i can just switch from filling the main res to filling the trash can and vice versa.
This one pump will do it all and quickly at that.
Here ive just opened the vavle from the main rez to flood this control rez.
So far so good no leaks lets open the valve now and flood the buckets.
This process takes awhile as the water is evenly dispersing in 15 ways to reach the level of the control rez. This is when i jam the radio crack a beer and smoke me a fatty.
This time i filled the main rez with about 30 gallons of water. And son of a bitch i got a fuckin leak. So now i gotta pump it all back out and fix it.
Thats todays project. Its a dribble coming from the tap spout on the main rez. I put a towel down for the night so i hope i dont need a canoe when i go down here in a bit.
A look at the dwc garden to be.
And last but not least here is the nursery shot.
The Blue Widow and Lemon Skunk seedlings have shook their seed husk and are stretching for the light.
Mother purp is in good health dispite me cutting her up repeatedly lol. I just keep toppin each new shoot as they get big enough for a clone. But now ive got enough so im gonna either toss the new comers or put some outside. Trying to keep her as compact as possible.
The BW and LS will eventually recieve the same treatment in about 4 weeks from now.
And now its time for a puff.
Grrr this camera is such a peace of shit. It surely doesn't do this nug any justice. A nice tight sticky bud of some Train Wreck.
Very stoney and tasty. Might have a new fav.
Thats it for now. Im gonna perfect the hydro setup soon as im relieved of my fatherly duties. Until next time folks.
1BMM....
Im quite baked and lovin it.
