LKABudMan Back In Deep Water: 4 Purple Haze Clones In RDWC

Thanks @DV8 I haven't done anything for shaping. Not topped or fimmed. They've filled out all by themselves. Not that they had that much space to fill in.

I meant to post yesterday but ran out of time. Temps are staying pretty stable and these girls are loving it. Everyone is eating and drinking steadily, up to 1 liter/day. We are 30 days in the same bucket and they still look and smell good. I'm still topping off with full-strength nutes with the occasional bennies. I just need to make the top-off nutes in 4 gallon batches now ;)

The roots are still looking nice on these girls and are getting big.




I still haven't snipped anyone yet and right now I'm letting everyone grow naturally. So far no issues on this grow, unless you count running out of room in the veg tent with 2-3 weeks left to go ;) These girls are already the biggest plants I have grown so far and have a ways to go. I was trying to raise the pegboard on the back wall to stay higher than the plants. It finally got to the point where I had to lower it, though, because the air lines were not long enough. I like it better lower anyways because it allows more light to be reflected back onto the canopy.

I'm still amazed by the size of the stems and fan leaves and the number of colas that have reached to the top of the canopy. I can't wait to see what these girls can do under the scrog net in the 4x4.





I can still see through the foliage, but not much ;)



Happy Growing.
Wow, unbelievably healthy happy plants man!
 
When the tent is removed they just hold those dimensions beautifully. I probably should have said shape, used shaping as plural.

Theres zero chance I could replicate something so uniform, looks fantastic and even, if you can manage to carry that forward Ill be even more impressed.
@DV8 If I can carry it forward I'll be impressed as well ;)

Thanks @steelcurtain22 they're healthy but I'm sure they'll be much happier when they get to the bigger tent :)
Looking good in there LK, great work friend :thumb:
Thanks @Growings I'm hoping I can move them over the the flower tent in the next week. These girls are ready to flower!

I've been cooling down the basement for my other grow in the 8th week of flower. That means these girls are getting a bit cooler as well. It hasn't seemed to matter to them at all. They're all eating and drinking and growing steadily. I have been feeding them full-strength nutes so the PPMs are getting up there. They should be just about at full strength by the time they move over to flower.


Not much to update today. I fill the buckets every couple of days and other than that I haven't really done anything to these girls. I'm planning to shuffle some things around this weekend and get them in the flower tent. Until then they're growing well but really need more space.








Happy Growing.
 
Thanks @Rexer good trunks and big root balls as well. I am really excited to see what these girls can do if I can give them a little space ;)

Great pics, even nicer plants, very photogenic, haha! I love taking pics of cannabis and am actually looking into a decent camera and possibly a night course for photography! Maybe one day I’ll be a 420 Magazine photographer if they still exist, lol!
 
Beautiful plants!

Are you planning to give them more space? I can’t recall..

If not, it will be necessary to keep your humidity way down and provide lots of air flow if you’re going to avoid mold.

@steelcurtain22 I really don't know a lot about photography, I'm using my samsung phone. My wife keeps saying that I need to get a good camera. But then I need to learn how to use it. And if I can learn how to use a camera correctly, I have plenty of settings on my cell phone camera to play around with. For now, I'll just keep using my phone ;)

I hope to be moving these girls over to the RDWC system in the 4x4 tent this weekend @FelipeBlu . When I move them I will spread them out (scrog) and then defoliate if needed. I realize I'll start having problems with moisture soon if I don't move them out of this tent. That, and I can barely get to them to give them water right now.

This may be the last time I start DWC plants in the veg tent. They grow so quickly it just doesn't make sense to start them anywhere but the flower tent. And it will be so much easier to just start them in the RDWC and keep them there ;)
 
@7Dust2 I just love growing these plants. I'm glad I had one grow all in soil. It really helped me learn more about growing in general and I will use that knowledge when keeping mothers in soil. However, I really do see my future in hydro. I love how quickly they grow and I enjoy the process much more. I am really looking forward to getting these four clones in my new RDWC system. Only 1 res to check/fill? Sound NICE!
 
Ho ho ho BudMan!

I’m kinda late to the party, sorry about that. I didn’t realize at all you had the 2nd and 3rd run already on going! And looks like I’ve missed the tag also.

But I’d grab a set from now on :popcorn:
I’ll be checking out the other journal as well.
Grow well my brother, and the clones looking damn awsome!

E: And I’m sorry about the seeds. Looks like the vendor wont ship them to any other address than that mod has given to them.
If the situation changes I’ll let you know!

Welcome @Verbalist I'm glad you made it over here. No worries about the seeds I appreciate your trying. Congratulations again that title looks great on your avatar. I'm hoping to get one soon ;)

I knew when I started this journal that timing was going to be tight. I was hoping they would go 6-8 weeks in DWC in the veg tent. Well, they've been in buckets for almost 6 weeks and they won't make it to 7 in this tent. They're within 12 inches of the light and growing 6+ inches/week and the light is all the way up. Unfortunately, the ladies in the flower tent are not quite ready. I have a plan to move the clones over to the flower tent this weekend and put them in the RDWC system. A little plant shuffle...

- Fill buckets with 45-50 gallons of water. Bubble for 48hrs and bring to room temp (66-68f)
- Move Abby & Betty over to the 24x48 tent with the P2500 light. That should be plenty of room for these two girls and that light should work great to finish them off.
- Move Betty to the 32x32 with a 100w light. It's probably not the best light for flower, but it should work good enough to finish her off.
- Set up RDWC in flower tent, fill, and move these girls over.
- Set up SCROG net and flip to flower!

I hope to have these four girls moved over to the flower tent this weekend. Since I'm running low on the AN nutrients, I'll switch to the MC nutes when I move them to the RDWC. New nutes, new light, new system... what can go wrong?





Hopefully the next time you see these girls they'll be in the RDWC in the 4x4. Wish me luck!

Happy Growing.
