hey Doc,
fellow waterfarmer.
i just tried putting my tiny seedling in enough hydroton to cover a rapid rooter (2 inches maybe?) i want to see how it works with less media in the top res. i fed the roots right thru a middle hole so its' basically more of a dwc now.

looking good!

That’s Awesome! Good luck .it sounds like it’s going to really take off for you. Very exciting .

I really like my 4x2 tent sooooooo much better than the 4x4. It’s so much easier to work with and fits so nicely in the room. What a relief to get out of that 4x4. I was really struggling with the large size of the tent and getting under the screen moving between the buckets to adjusting the back corners and small oscillating fan was a nightmare. Much happier now. I had no idea that the light would lose such much power from a 4x2 to a 4x4. The plants are just so large and lanky.

can you access the 4x2 from more than one side? that would be cool if they had 2 "doors" on it.

i've done so many normal waterfarms and it just seemed like there was kinda a lag b/t the seedling starting and then finally having the roots get all the way down to the bottom res.

the other thing i meant to tell you is be careful with your drip rings; one of mine finally split in 2. trying to find the spare parts kit for the WFs now is impossible!!!

hey doc, one last thing. i know you're a metal chick. check this out: this swedish dude does a cover of Enter Sandman but as different metal bands.

he nails it as Iron Maiden.

No, you can not access the 4x2 I have from any other doors but the front. Growntent producers are very uncreative I have found. Stupidly they have an extra foot add on to the top! Who needs that?
there is a big lag between the seedling and root system progressing down. You have to be patient because the pay off is worth it. Growth rate skyrockets after that.
I found replacement parts but I think it was kinda pricey and came with a bunch of shit I didn’t need and threw away.
good luck,

That was awesome!

I dont even want to open the tent anymore. Talk about small buds. Huge long branches and masssive leafs producing small buds, it’s horrifying. I haven’t had this kind of sorry ass bud production since I was a rookie 12 years ago. Ok I still have 3-4 weeks but this isn’t my style and I don’t like it at all. Some weed is better than none but these 2 could have been heavy hitters so it’s a very sad situation . I guess I will go feed the ladies now. Have a nice day.

I bought the cutest little stands for my girls. If they weren’t so cute and adorable and so natural and simple looking i would have returned them IMMEdiately! I think they were like 17 bucks each. I said , shit I could have made these things!! But not really because where would I get the wood and tools? But it’s just one piece of wood and holes for the peg legs...But in a strange way they reminded me of the new jewelry I just started making. So I was thinkin I might be legit in selling mine for that much too. I ended up staining them.

we Will get them in the tent tonight and do a Rez change, finally . We took out the concrete blocks and are now using them for our work out room.
You would not believe how much gunk I found stuck in my drip ring yesterday!! It was shocking ! So nice to have a powerful drip again. Girls are staring to pack it on. I can see a field of buds the size of a bong loads now.
here is my first set for
new Signature series collection. Sometimes I find em with the holes already there to put staight onto the hanging devices so it’s even easier .

I need to invest in a Dremel drill.
cheers!

Week 5 flower. I Rez changed The wedding cake and put them up on the new pedestals. They fit good but a little slippery. Not bad. I moved the girls out and switched sides of the tent. A real good move. The side branches that were growing up against the tent walls are now in the middle and they were very long. So now I actually have more room in the tent and moved the buckets closer to the walls . This allows a big open spot for the 360 degree fan in the middle of the buckets, previously I had to shove it in the corner. Taking some string, I tied down 2 very tall branches so that the canopy is more even at the top. I have to get to the Blue Dream Rez change tonight . Her PPMs are a couple hundred to high from residue build up.
have a nice day! Here is wedding cake.

Looks like they are coming around a little for you.
I harvested the white widow over the last several days. I was really disappointed with the size of the buds, really small and airy. Trying to decide if I want to keep the mother plant. I did end up with an honest 12oz of ok smoke, probably ended up with a few oz of butter making material and collected about 10g of keif from the trim bin.

Sounds terrible. Better luck next time.
things are looking up. I really rounded these bitches up and made them into some fine stallions . It took a lot of work and training but I am happy with how things are going.

Wow those girls have some legs! Have they finished stretching?

Organized my drying closet with all my nutrients and grow work gear..
I’m also doing a dry run through the waterfarm . Having the new 8 gallon extra Rez hooked up to my 2 gallon waterfarm Rez will be a new addition for me this grow, hopefully making things easier.

Wedding Cake

How do they smell?

The Wedding Cake smelled like garlic very strongly one day . I haven’t paid much attention but will take notice and report back.

Blue dream smells like lemons.

Hey Doc, have been super busy. Your girls are looking good. My white widow turned out better then I expected, it has only been in the jars for about 10 days, but I gave a sample to some friends and the report was "super stony". The blue dream is looking good and so far I think my best scrog attempt. I have lost track of when I flipped it but think im about 2 weeks in. I put a humidifier in the tent to see if that helps. My humidity is around 30%.

Looking real good. Nice even canopy. It’s your best Scrog yet! 30% humidity seems a bit low but whatever works for you .glad to hear the white widow pulled through as a heavy hitter.

my girls are really packing it on a s busting out . Am so happy because I really felt things were going poorly in the beginning but now it’s looking so super excellent and smells like coffee when the tent opens up .
Blue dream is a light eater at 350 PPMs now while wedding cake is heavy at 800 PPMs. Great color and. Am thinking a few more weeks to go. Have a nice weekend .

This looks so good I wanna take off some already and sample. Some pistils are just starting to turn brown and I am approaching week 9.
