C5Rftw's 2nd Deep Water Culture Grow

[C5Rftw]

NOW THAT'S A TREE!!!! How long u been veggin for?

i've been veggin for around 4 weeks.. Im thinkin i should go ahead and switch to 12/12 but the plants in the SH tank are still small.. once they get big, I'll be throwing the switch

 

[C5Rftw]

Yeah, I gotta say they will get a lot taller. I let mine veg for 5 weeks, they were over 30" tall, not at 6 weeks flower they are over 56" tall, too damn tall for my space. Luckily I have the head room, but I do use a 2' step ladder to get a good look at the colas! At that height the lamp shines right in my eyes when I open the closet! I really feel that for the size of my grow room I should have flowered them earlier. Always learning! And as you say, I've got 5 more in veg right now, 1 week in the res.

yah, I dont know how to slow their growth now.. I want the canopy to be even but as of now there is a 1.5 ft difference between the SH tank plants and the rubbermaid tank plants...

 

[C5Rftw]

the top of the SH tank is about 4 inchs lower... Im Thinking of putting the girls outta the SH tank and put them into a rubbermaid tank like the others, and that way, atleast they will be 4 inches closer.. the little ones are starting to take off

You could also just put something under the sh tank to even up the top a little. Are the one's in the sh tank showing any alternating leaves? As long as they are both mature then it's go time when you feel like it.

Either STRETCH them, or put something under the other tank to raise it up.

Don't start 12/12 too early, and get less yield.

she leaking!... alright so i noticed i lost 2 gal in a night and i know the girls aren't drinking that much, so i checked for leaks. sure enough, the flush valve was leaking.. Im letting the carpet dry out and im going to transfer the girls to a homemade tank tomorrow. that way i can get them a little higher...

btw, i moved the young mothers in soil to another room.. so finally i can just have the hydro in this room... and get it clean and keep it that way. here is what the small one are looking like... as you can see.. one is really taking off..

Looks like that one plant is sucking up all the nutes !! Clone that momma !!

Have you ever smoked one, got high and spent like an hour just fooling with them, looking at them, and then went back in the dimly lite living room to discover you was half blinded by the lights and can't see anything?

I sometimes wonder what we're doing to our eyes. Not often, but sometimes.

That's why I never put any holes below the water-line. No holes = no leaks. Get that carpet dried really well too. If it stays damp, mold and fungi will have a field day with nutes in there. Carpet in the grow room is a no-no anyhow. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

That one plant is rockin'! I'd listen to ol hippy and clone that momma!

yah, I dont know how to slow their growth now..

There are many ways to keep her low and stop upward growth without stunting or WHATEVER they do...Supercropping works the best for me to keep em low,,,U can supersropp the shit out em and all it does is force lower growth,can't grow upwards
go on youtube and type in supercropping and watch the video if you dont already know how
Worked GREAT for my last grow.

 

[Roseman]

It just scares me seeing that soil next to that hydro. I hope the soil is sterilized.

I saw a new grower post today, he got bugs and spiders and forgot to use any pesticide in his grow area.

AND, I saw another C5R grower here today.,he was C5Rsport!

Roseman, the soil plants are now seperated from the Deep Water Culture.. finally.. no worries man.
