Matticusss - White Widow - DWC - 2015 LED Grow Log

[matticusss]

ok so I added the ice packs in when i turned the light on, waited for them to melt, which didn't take long, and the temp is 75 degrees, I put the packs back in to the freezer and cut up more of the ice packs to freeze so I can continually be putting them in there to keep res temps down.


Picture Time!

First is the pic of the setup and arrangement of the plants

Next up we have WW#1, this plant seems to be doing really well, I can already see that it has recovered from the topping, I now see 2 growths instead of just one, this plant also has a lot of intermodal growth as well, I tried to take as many pics as I could but i was stuck with the wifes camera again today. I will turn the light off for a few minutes and take better pics and post them in about 15 minutes or so. but heres the pics of WW#1

Heres WW#2, I cant tell yet how many growths but nothing has turned black where I fimmed the plant so hopefully that is a good sign I here are the pics I tried to take, also theres intermodal growth on WW#2 as well.

Picture Time

So i turned the light off so I could take better pics and you can see the growths and cuts better, so here we go with WW#1

Heres WW#2

And here is the Big Bang Auto Fem

The picture of the roots make them look brown, but they actually are really white and crisp. it looks like a net just bubbling away when the lids down and the roots are just boiling in all the air bubbles, im going to have to learn how to uploiad videos to youtube so i can take videos and put them up instead.

 

[matticusss]

ok so I got the video uploaded sorry for the shakiness and ill try to get a better camera I was using my phone.

 

[TheRoach]

Nice video bro, everything looking nice and neat!

 

[matticusss]

yeah inside the tent is, but the room the tent is in is a mess, The ice cube packs still have not frozen completely but when they do I will be throwing them in the buckets to bring the temps down.

Quick question, could a be having a higher temp in the buckets due to me having the air pump setting on high all day long or should I bring back the power a little bit and get less heat into the buckets?

 

[matticusss]

I wanted to just say thanks for all the help with the past grow and this current one, really don't think I would be where Im at if it wasn't for this site and the people on it. Thanks for all the advice on lighting and feedings, and about the ice for high temps in the buckets. Thanks for all the advice on how to get a perpetual grow going and cloning. Really these things would cost people tons of $ to learn on their own and without the advice from everybody here we all would have made lots more mistakes and spent more money trying to grow the thing we are all passionate about. to everyone!

I used to grow using DWC buckets, basically a 5 gal bucket with an airstone hooked to an airpump. I never noticed the water being warm. Im not sure what kind of pump you are using, I was using a general hydroponics pump pictured below, now I use it to make worm casting tea. Also, if the pum is inside of the tent where the air is warm, it will only pump warm air into the reservoir: try adding longer tubing and puting the air pump outside where it is cooler!

Great Update Matti

 

[matticusss]

ah shit i forgot the landlord was coming today to come do some bullshit mandatory smoke detector test.

I turned the lights off and pulled them out of the tent, pulled the fan and vent out, hide them under my king bed, then I took out the bubble buckets and placed them in my bedroom closet since its completely light sealed and a huge walk in closet so theres plenty of air, then I added a couple racks of pvc in the tent and added clothes, now it looks like a second walk in closet, I have it mostly open so you can see all the way inside, so that way when he comes in for the inspection and sees it, we wont have that akward silence followed by a akward questions.

I did actually sign a sheet of paper that said I wouldn't grow marijuana and if I did it would be grounds for eviction. A lot of landlords are requiring that extra addendum here in las vegas lately. Even if you are a legal patient, still cant grow in the place you rent if you sign that stupid piece of paper, well legally anyway without worry of eviction.

 

[TheRoach]

Damn bro, that is though for the grower!

 

[matticusss]

yes it is it especially sucks cause you have them twice a year, plus your annual inspection, so I have some unwanted fuckers in my house 3 times a year snooping around for a few minutes, gonna be a bitch when these plants get older! Although I should be good after this inspection until harvest.

Aww shit I have my lease renewal in august!

I guess the growers that messed it up are the ones that have damaged the place with modifications, short circuits, fires. It's always the bad apple that spoils the whole bunch. Well Good Luck

[matticusss]

any thoughts how to get these white widows harvested by that time?

 

[matticusss]

Also think it may be time to stop renting and buy a house already, then I wont have to worry about any unwanted people coming in my house, and if they ever did, like the old saying goes, " Trespassers will be shot, Survivors will be shot again "!

 

[TheRoach]

Haha, get a house and a dog. That should do it!

 

[matticusss]

so they said they would be here between 9-12. HA its 2pm and they still haven't shown up yet, im concerned for my plants though, its almost time to turn them on, and they have been sitting in a closet without the bubbler going for the last 5 and a half hours. hopefully they will be ok?

this whole thing has screwed up my growing schedule, come 5pm if they still haven't shown up they are going to have to serve me another 24 hour notice for entry since its non emergency. I don't even know what the concern is about the " bad People " is here, didn't know it at the time by the looks of the place, but the complex is filled with 80% of the residents being on section 8 and being the worst kind of people in that program, now don't get me wrong I have nothing bad to say about section 8, its a great program for struggling people and families, I agree with it 100% however there are people that abuse that system just to milk the government for all they can get, free rent, free groceries, free insurance, free cell phone, but they go around selling drugs like crack and heroine within the complex. Or a couple of the females turning tricks in and out of theyre apartment. these are the types that im referring to. On the notice it said they are coming to check the smoke detectors and air filters and to also ensure a safe living environment for everyone, that's a bunch of bs. Since like i said 80% of the people here are low lifes, if they really wanted to make this place safer, they would stop accepting the governments free money from these people and let them go ruin some other neighborhood. This property wasn't always this way, I actually live in a apartment complex in the rich side of town, but the complex changed owners last year, and after they took over, the riff raff came in, sorry for the long rant about this, I will post with pics when i hook everything back up

VLAD'S BOOZE MACHINE

 

[matticusss]

Thanks for the link vlad!

So I just now got to put the girls back in the tent and turned on the light, I will take pics in a little bit, but the WW#2 looks weird where I fimmed it, maybe you guys can tell me how many tops this thing has when i put the pics up in about 45 minutes or less.
