THE SETUP
3x3x6 Grow Tent
Sun System 2 400w MH/HPS light with universal a/c fitting
Technaflora nute lineup (Boost, Grow, Bloom, Thrive Alivez, Magical, Sugar Daddy, Root 66)
435 CFM Valuline 6" exhaust fan
Tetra Whisper 60 dual-port air pump with two 4" airstones
5g bucket wrapped in solar insulation
So after a couple DWC grows under my belt....I've decided to go with one plant and let it get huge. I chose a clone from my very 1st grow. They were all mystery females and we dubbed this one Danakush(DK for short). She grew lanky branches, but her buds were gorgeous and the high was incredible! Here she is right after I snatched her from our clonebox. I'm still using the same 3x3x6 tent under one 400w light. 1st grow we did each plant in their own 3g bucket, 2nd grow we did 2 of the same strain in 8g totes, and this round I'm doing her in her own 5g bucket wrapped in solar insulation. She's got two 4" airstones in the bucket and I'm still rocking out the Technaflora nute lineup for now.

This set of pics was taken yesterday. She's definately growing, but I forgot how long the Veg cycle can take :/ I also redid all of my ventilation for the tent. I put the 435cfm fan inside the tent closer to the light and the carbon filter is just on the other side of the wall. My temps have been getting up to 88F and that's too hot for my tastes so I'm thinking there's something I'm not seeing. Prolly gonna have to figure out a way to make an intake bringing colder air in from somewhere. Humidity is pretty low so I've been misting her with some Root 66/Thrive Alive Red and Ph'd water and she seems to dig it. Her root system has gone apeshit in the last few days, but I still expect some stunted growth from her. Veg time is undecided....as it depends on how big she gets over a period of time. 8 weeks of veg time is prolly gonna be my max as I'm just doing this one plant thusfar and I wanna allow her to go crazy on me. I am going to SCROG her later and I topped her not quite a week ago and her double mains are now growing more and the lower branches are FINALLY starting to kick in. The insulated bucket she's in is working very nicely. My water temps havent been above 66F thusfar so I don't expect much change there and that's the important thing.....good root system = plant still has a chance to blow my mind
I started a journal, but I do believe I feel more comfortable posting in this part of the forum compared to others, so the hellz with it lulz
