Lewydeville’s Six Strain DWC

[Lewydeville]

How's the Gorilla Zkittles coming on? I think mines under control now. She looks like she'll have good tight nodes.

The one in flower isn’t bad but not the best. She’s front left in the last picture. The clone I took is massive though. It’s all about the Sorbet Dream in this tent at the moment. Rub the stem and I get the most incredible smell. Reminds me of Polo aftershave you know the one in the green bottle. She’s the boss at the back. I’ll check up on your journal later, glad you got them back on track. How’s the Phantom Og that’s a banging plant!

The Phantom needs to go into flower soon. She's going to be a monster lol. It's advertised as a tall strain so I'm expecting to have to put the lights right at the top of the tent. Don't know what lighting to use yet though. I may get the cool tube out and try a 600hps. The weather may not allow that though

She’s a beauty. I had a feeling it was going to to a good one. I’ll definitely try growing it in the future. I’m going to order some glookies as well, it looks ace in the pictures. As for the temps It’s cool at the moment but you know at some stage it’s going to get hot.

That Purple Punch has caught my eye. I want to run it alongside the Shishkaberry. So many strains so little time! I know I could get away with the 600w if I only had the one tent but with 3 it's gonna be pushing it a bit. I might try a 250w with the 2 200w leds supplementing it. I'm gonna need some good coverage for this one

I think she’ll do you well. I love strong plants like that. If you’ve got the 2 x 200 watt leds at least if it gets mega hot you can easily just switch the hps off. That’s what I’ve done before.

Update
It’s day 12 since the flip and there is no stopping the Sorbet Dream! She is a big one. I’ve raised my lights right to the top of my tent trying to keep the canopy as cool as possible, It’s been pretty warm here lately. I’ve started to change them over to bloom nutes now and introduce the bud booster I use.
40ml bloom nutes
20 ml silicon
20ml Sumo boost
40 ml calmag
10ml Guard n Aid healthy roots
Ph 5.7

What a jungle!

 

[Lewydeville]

What a jungle!

It’s coming along but I can’t seem to get the Gorilla Zkittles happy. Her clone in veg is great so I know it’s something I’ve done but I can’t get her right. Imagine planting six of those Sorbet Dream geez I’d be right in the shit now! Lol

 

[ProfessorFlora]

mine was really frosty. Even more than the Island Punch. I bet yours goes like that as well

 

[Lewydeville]

Morning 420. Nice cuppa in the garden to start the day! Girls are looking perky after a boost.

 

[bluenoserjoe]

The only way to start the day.

 

[Lewydeville]

Not much to report today. It’s another 6 days until I give a major defol so until then I’ve just been looking after the buckets, making sure they are topped up and ph’d. The Sorbet Dream really is impressive, Fat Banana and Critical Hog are looking strong and the Pink Kush is a nice looking plant. I don’t think the French Macron was ever going to bounce back from me ripping it in two so it is very small yet looks healthy so I should at least get to try it. Gorilla Zkittles is holder of the crap plant of the grow trophy at the moment.

 

[Lewydeville]

All is well in the garden. It’s just 4 more days until I strip them down. I love this part of the grow when things really start to take shape. I’ve given the Sorbet Dream another res change as she had gone through most of her nutes over the last three days. Critical Hog is living up to the name as I added the remainder of the SD’s res to its own. Hope everyone is having a great week.

 

[Lewydeville]

Still stretching!!!

 

[Lewydeville]

Everything is still stretching in the flower tent. I had planned to strip them at 21 days which is Monday but if they are still progressing I might give them an extra couple of days until I’m certain stretch is over. The Pink Kush is having a growth spurt and starting to look a nice plant.

 

[Lewydeville]

The saga continues in my grow as along with my veg light now my main air pump has given up on me. It’s Sod’s law it would happen at a time when I’m away from the garden for two days. I know it was working on Saturday morning but when I’ve gone to start work tonight straight away the smell from the first res told me something was up. Hopefully I’ve caught the problem just in time as I feel the buckets were just on the turn and not full blown yet. Luckily I have 3 spare double air pumps that I put to use on the flower tent straight away. I’ve now spent the last couple of hours giving them a fresh res each and steam washing all the dirty dwc buckets. As for the plants they looked pretty good and were due a strip down so I’ve taken a massive gamble and went ahead. Before I get to that I want to repost the pictures of when I flipped them 21 days ago and how they looked today after stretch.

6th of may

21 days later

 

[Lewydeville]

Just finished up stripping the plants down. I’ll probably give them a few days maybe a week then take anything I don’t think will produce. I checked all roots and no sign of rot anywhere so think I might get away with it.

 

[Lewydeville]

I’ve just replaced the faulty pump with a new one from my local aquatic centre. It’s half the size of the old one and more powerful but the best bit.. a 3 year guarantee!!

And I thought I stripped mine down! Good to hear that you caught the pump in time. I'm using my clones again and I have to check it daily as the head on the pump works its way lose then stops misting the roots. You're plants are looking great again Lew!

Cheers Professor, I think it was a close call. I’ve not been happy with the old pump for a while so I’m not so fussed about replacing it, I just can’t believe it packed up when it did! Lol I swear I've upset the growing gods. Think I’m going to abort the seed project now and just flower out the three clones I’ve got and take a break. I want to go through my system and make some upgrades to make it as energy efficient as I can.
