C5Rftw's 2nd Deep Water Culture Grow

[TheAnswer1776]

Hey C5R, it looks like you could just run some twine around those two plants and tie them together. Let them hold each other up, since they are all leaning outward. Even better yet, you could run some electrical tape around the netcups under the lid making a seal or raised portion to keep the netcups from popping out.I did that on my aero system to seal the 2 inch netcups into the pvc and it worked like a charm. Plus it is easy to remove just peel off when your done.

I've got more string tied around my plant it looks like webs ! Strings hanging down from above to hold up the heavy buds , I have to check this morn. to see if the one that bent over will continue to grow or I'll get a little sample bud today. I'm still holding out for more weight !! 12/12 from Dec 1, any day now baby!! Hang in there C5R were getting close to the finish line !!

That works sometimes and you can also tape the shit out of it and get pretty much the same effect but sometimes the top buds can be so heavy that there is a change they will just snap the branch holding them up and the netpot is not involved at that point.

I just installed a couple of cuphooks at some stategic places and ran some string or tomato ties from one wall to another or wherever it made sense and sort of ran the ties under the big buds so they have something to lean on. Just trying to take a little weight off the stem holding them up so they don't snap.

Looks like my sannie jack is going to need some support. It has a main cola and it will get heavy. I plan to just install one cuphook and sort of lasso it and tie it off to that cuphook.

man, MC, I want to see these buds you speak of.. Thx for the ideas.. I think I know know what to do now.. the cuphooks are a great idea.. Thx as always Chief

yah I did that with my last grow but it might just be too thick in there. We'll see. Unfortunately, I dont think the tape will hold em down... but maybe if I used a lot of it... Hmmm... that could work.. I if propped it up and just taped the $hit outta of it...

You guys are really making this easy for me lol.. Thx Answer

 

[C5Rftw]

Thanks C5, seeing your grooming, I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. I already did some of it earlier this week but the other higher lower stuff took off.

just be careful you dont cut too much, I did that might first grow and I regretted it. probably lost a 1/2 ounce.. Its just tought to predict what buds will form good and which one wont.. So just leave extra and when they start forming, trim the little ones off..

Good luck Frosty and let me know how it goes... i wanna see picks, as always

Thanks OldMedMan, Im glad your watching.. I usually post a lot of pics everyother day, but with my injury its slowing me down.. So just check in when you can. Thx man.

LOL, like webs? Thats what you want right? Sorry man, but I have never seen one continue to grow, but yes sample buds are never bad.. I just had to sample a whole plant! early lol. I bet you cant wait.. Yet its the biggest virtue (IMO) of a grower, patience, that all the greats have.. Sounds like you got it though

Hay C5 great grow bro things are looking good bud.

They are already covered in white hairs.. Wow after just 4 days.. I love this Purple Haze strain.. Shows flowers 12 days earlier, on average, than my last Strain.


if you guys want me to circle the white hairs to help you with early detection or whatever I will. Or may just do it anyhow..

 

[C5Rftw]

they are continuing to grow up quite a bit still.. looking thinner.. I like this, get all focused at the top, how I like it.. For those big, yummy, 1/2 OZ nugs

you can start to see the (12) 65w bulbs. 780 watts... 50,400 lumens total.. 400w HPS is 50,000.. so you can see that even these high output CFLs still are 1/2 as efficent as and HPS bulb.. amazing.. Although I can put these 4" aways from the plant..Try that with a HPS bulb. An aircooled reflector couldn't do that safely, you would have to have watercooled.

yet, I would still rather have an HPS setup lol
