Crashdog's Flavor Train - DWC & A Couple Of Dewey's

[Crashdog]

Didn’t they come with suction cups? Looking good C-Dog!

Yes, they just didn't hold. I'll check on them later today.

 

[Planter420]

Got some slack on the air line? It helps to have a bit inside the bucket so there's not any pull on the mister. When the roots bury it they will be weighed down lol

 

[Crashdog]

Had to twist the air hose a bit so it wants to go strait down the side of the bucket. Holding fast now.

Evening update.
Not much change. No roots out of the net pot yet. It's a race.

I'm betting on Ol' Blue to show her bones first

Tanny has got some good leaves also.

Sour Dee is doing alright considering she keeled over this weekend.

Smallest of them all is the Strawberry Amnesia. Haven't thought of a name yet for her. Any suggestions.

Family shot.

I need to get my COB fixed. It's getting hot in there. I'll leave a window open in there tonight.

 

[Planter420]

Amelia? Is something wrong with the COB? Ladies are looking great c dawg! I'm going with lil blue too, she looks strong!

Amelia? But she might be breakin my heart. oh wait that's the bitch Cecelia. Dammit Alexa. Stop playing Simon and Garfunkel songs.
Amelia it is.

no pics today because they look just as purple as yesterday cause yes, my COB is broke. Only one quadrant, no color leds. Bad PCB.

Ok, now I'm feeling groovy so maybe Ill go take some pics.

but I won't know if anyone responds because MY EMAIL notifications don't work.. Wait.... S&G sang Hazy Shade of Winter. Fuck yaaa . where's my fucking guitar. I want to jam. I can play the Bengals version got a bit more bite

 

[Crashdog]

Here's Amelia

Ol' Blue how do ya dooo?

Tanny. Hope she has a big fat fanny. And some nice buds to go with it

And S Dee is.....blah blah blah. Make up your own rhyme

I gut to go take a dump. Bye. .

 

[Crashdog]

Good News!

COB is back in action.

Shout Out to Neil for a quick replacement of the PCB
Very easy to swap out the PCB.

Set the Light at full pwr and 44 inches. Not sure how the seedlings will like it.

No roots thru net pot yet. May be too wet. So I'm trying a timer. Air on for half an hour and off for 2.

 

[Planter420]

Air as in air pump for oxygenating the water? I'd keep that on for sure and just top feed once a day. They like the water running through the hydroton to help them find their way . glad your light is back in action brother

 

[Crashdog]

Maybe I'll just lower the water some more in the buckets with the air stones. Can't do much with the dewey spray.

the net pots are dripping when I take them out looking for roots. Of course I cant tell how much that water penetrates into the net pot

 

[Planter420]

I just remembered you're using the Dewey lol sorry. Good idea I thought the Deweys constant spraying may have delayed the roots from emerging initially on Emma, too.

 

[Planter420]

When the tap finally did come out it took forever to drop, the Dewey kept it along the bottom of the pot until it had the weight to finally drop lol. If you had an adjustable air pump you could probably adjust it down a little, or like you said the timer. Looking at the old BF and PW Dewey grows we have net pots and they started them in neo inserts first. Much more Dewey friendly .

 

[Crashdog]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
We have roots (or dog hairs) in the tent.
Ms. Blue is the winner.

The other girls are looking fine. Leaves are getting bigger.
Amelia is still the runt

Tanny

and S. Dee

I've decided against running the air pump timer. I'll just adjust the air flow with the valve.

 

[Planter420]

They're gonna love the Dewey bath once the roots find their way into the bucket. Those anchors work out pretty good for LST I use them as well .

 

[Crashdog]

Good news. Everyone is showing roots
Tanny came in 2nd place showing her roots yesterday and S.Dee and Amelia tied for 1st place losers by showing their roots this am

Rez change today.
Made some changes in the tent. Moved the 2 Dewey girls to an EcoAir 2 air pump. Easier to control airflow then using the 6 pt Manifold on the EcoPlus. If I opened the Dewey's valve to full the air stones would get very little air.
I'm probably gonna add air stones to the dewey buckets in the future so adding them to the EcoPlus will keep the airflow equal.

Time for some pics

Ol'Blue

Tanny

S. Dee

Amelia (Strawberry Amnesia)

Got some good air flow going. Will lower water level a bit when I get some longer roots.

Another Note:
S.Dee's Leaf structure looks weird to me. Is it just because her nodes are so close together?

Have a good weekend everyone

 

[Planter420]

Sweeet you've got yourself an interesting mutation! Won't effect much but it looks cool! I wonder what she'll grow in like. Not that those taps are in the buckets you should have some nice growth .

 

[Crashdog]

What to do on a football bye week?
.

 

[Planter420]

Round 2! Alright!!! Heavenly baked good to keep you uplifted . get yer cheesecloth ready!

 

[Crashdog]

It came out pretty good. I actually might be able to eat this stuff

 

[Planter420]

Wow that looks wayyy better than the first run! I'm willing to bet that it's much better tasting this time, too, good job .
Now what ya gonna whip up with that?

 

[Crashdog]

Yeah I could lick the spoon when making brownies this time. I still had to chase it down with some ice tea.
This one smells better too
