1 Plant DIY Recirculating DWC Test

Such an incredible set up, with the water cooler is sic. The under current model runs straight to res. Yours is sweeter. When are u going to do multiple totes? nine zips is really impressive. Im impressed if i get a quarter of that. Awesome grow!!
 
I have two Darkstars in my Grow 5.1 and have a clone off of the better looking of the two that will be a bonsai mom. I will have to decide which plant to to the full run in the NFT and I'll do a mixed-bag in the next tent grow. I need to get another tent set up. I want to test the results of going clone-to-bloom vs. a full-veg then bloom for total yield. I think I can get two full clone-to-bloom cycles finished, or close to finished in the time it would take to go from seed to a full on veg and bloom.

The Darkstars are looking nice, but I think they are in 5th place of five in the tent. I would have to rank them according to size, frostiness and smell:
Pineapple Chunk
Caramelicious
Gigabud
Twilight
Darkstar

But no real losers in the group, all are winners in my opinion.
 
Quick review of some pics at same angle, I skipped a few.

Time to review the numbers. I got 292 grams tdw of pineapple express and 268 grams tdw of sage. 560 grams total dry weight from the whole grow. There were 3 600watt bulbs that were cycling through the 12 hour light period and each bulb was on for 9 hours each. That averages to 1350wat per 12 hour period. I average .41 grams per watt. Still that not bad for a test run and a summer grow and only using 4 plants but there is alot of room for improvement.

This journal is complete. Please check out my multi-plant recirculating dwc test grow. The link will be provided shortly.
 
Nice job, Mr. Smith! :welldone:

I'll make it early to the next one! :popcorn:
 
Great journal Mr. Smith! Just PM one of the admins or theyll eventually see that you wrote its completed.

Everyone raves over the GPW number but it can be misleading, IMO.

You ran at .43 but only ran 4 plants. However, your buds are thick and nasty....no popcorn there.

If you stacked a zillion of them in under your lights in tiny pots your GPW # would be right there with mine, IMO. I think much of the GPW # comes from the setup itself. I

I'll tell you why I feel that way.... when I ran my aero setup I only ran 9 plants and scrogged them. I ended up at .63 GPW. Then I switched to my SOG set with the same genetics and I am sustaining 1.1GPW. It's a numbers game.

Your buds are always beautiful, sticky, and massive. Your thumb is as green as anyone on this site my friend. I appreciate your contributions to the community. 5 star rated.
