My new grow space

Hey Guy! I've never run DWC as it doesn't work with my outdoor/indoor growing. I can tell you that I usually feed my autos hard with few complaints. And everyone in the Brooklyn grow is finding that more is more this time around as well. I have discovered that pH is really important and I'm sure even more so in water.

Except for some lower leaves things look lush in there!
Thanks Shed. I wasn't sure if you were running dwc out there or not, but I know that you have a ton of experience with autos. Once I got my pH right, it seems like the plant has started to follow suit. When I went in last night and checked pH on my girl, she had buffered herself and she was on exactly 6.0. Her ppm's had risen slightly, but that's to be expected when she also drink 1.5 liters of water. An auto in DWC is a 1st for me.....hoping to keep this girl in the grow zone!
 
As for the rest of my veg room.......
This little beast is my Critical Mass, or one of my critical mass. She has definitely got something going on.... Just haven't been able to pinpoint it. As discussed with Van Stank last week, it certainly looks like over-watering but she is growing like crazy. As is she, the next few are in organic Stank soil so I cant just correct with fertilizers. So sign of tip burn.......kinda weird!?
Kind of weird, especially because her sister who lives four inches away from her, came from the same place, has the same soil and the same size pail is doing really well. Maybe some strains....I dunno?
Here are my three Blue Dream, also doing really well in the stank soil.



I am going to use some time this weekend to up pot all five of these girls into their final home for flower. Just need a little bit of room in flower to be able to move some of these girls over but my ATF and my Crown Royal are hogging all the space LOL.
My ATF mom in veg.....shes a beast!
Lastly, as it's tough to gain access for a photo OP in my cloning zone lol......here are my 3 that I'm keeping a close eye on. Normally by this point, they would be out of the ceiling fan and into veg so that I can keep an eye on them but....... Well, you know how that goes! These three still need to be sexed, I know they're not mature enough yet, not even close but I like to keep an eye on them just the same..... Here are my 3 x TGA subcool 9lb hammer. One ( likely a male), towers above the others.


And certainly a huge part of my grow space is the fact that I was finally able to get water out here. I will hook up my hose bib now that I know approximately where it's coming into my space, but these are exciting times lol.
Couple of flower close ups....
ATF first...

Followed by a couple of shots from my Crown Royal..... I've learned a lot from this girl.


That's all folks......have an amazing day!

2 Thumbs up on them frosty looking buds. Good thing you still have that mother ATF. It would be another thing to consider introducing to that Betty male. I know for sure he has never met a girl like that.
Not a clue on the Critical. Maybe wet or dry spots? The last plant I had that was sick for no reason ended up having dry spots that wouldn't take up moisture. I see that one is in a pan so it isn't in a wet spot.
 
Can yo give me tips on the best way to cure my weed?
If Guy doesn't mind I'll tell ya the easiest. Turkey roasting bags. Sorry Guy couldn't resist.
If you product is dry then just put it in the bags with a hygrometer to keep an eye on your moisture and start out burping twice a day for a few days then once a day for a few and so on. I like my product too be just a bit moist (in the upper 60's) after drying and I burp in my ac house at around 50% rh. This will bring in fresh air that is not as moist as the product and will bring the rh down slowly in the bags. If in the first day it's 70% or above I'll dry it a day or 2 more then start the cure again. If it's low on moisture I'll take it outside in the middle of the night to burp them as the humidity is usually about 85-90% then and will rehydrate them slowly.
The great thing about the bags is it's quick and easier to keep the moisture where you want it. Example if I'm reading 68% I will take the bag and just flap the opening 2-3 times to expel the air and replenish it with fresh air. I also will leave more air in the bag at this point to help lower my rh. Once it get to like 64% then I'll only leave enough air to cover the product because I'm not needing my rh to come down much further. Same on the other end. If I have my rh drop into the 50's I'll leave more of my humid air in there to help rehydrate.
If you have cured in jars you know you have to leave them open for 5-10 min. To breath but with the bags it takes 5-10 seconds. Just lift the opening up and down like bellows. And if your product is sticking to the jar you need to bump it around and fluff things up so it's not sticking or things can get moldy. With the bag you just roll it back and forth a few times and things just fall apart.
Hope I explained that ok if not just do a shout out or come by my journal and ask. I feel with the bags i have the most control and I had some big plants come in and didn't want to be burping 30 1/2 gal jars twice a day.
Sorry again Guy for taking over your journal.

The buds are dry to the point where I can snap the branches easily.How long does it take for the chorophyl to evaporate by using the bags? They are 12" brown paper bags.
 
Excellent Derby, thanks! Just want to note that if the ambient RH is over 62%, you will need to take some active steps to lower it in the bag/jar. A small cheap dehumidifier in a cardboard box will work, rice balls (ask for details if you want to go that route), or leaving them in an air conditioned car are all ways to handle it.

The slower the dry (without mold) the better. But once you can snap the stems it's best to get them in something sealed (bag or jar) so you can monitor the RH. A hygrometer is a must in my opinion. I have one in every jar until a week into the final cure with the B62s.
 
good morning mr.G, no long time no see, I've been a bit shoddy the last cpl weeks, but hot damn those ATF are looking cracking. Sorry to hear bout the heat y'all are having I wish I could swop, winter blues this side, all funny stuff like snow and stuff.. How's your son doing as I believe a cpl days ago he clashed swords with the heat...

have a great evening..
 
That's a lotta frost on those buds! Love the plastic water line coming in just below the electrical...I'm sure that is according to code ;).

I'm sure you covered this earlier, but can you tell me what you put in the water in your Aqua Clone?
Lol, you can run electrical in the same cavity as H20, no building code against that. Ultimately I introduced the pipe from the outside of the space so I wasn't sure where it was going to pop out on the inside. I'm just glad my drill bit was long enough to go through the deck joists, the floor and the bottom plate on the wall lol. I've now got 3' to play with, sure beats the 100 yd dash I was doing lmao.
The cloner gets 10L of water when I fill it and I only fill/cleaned it because temps got too high in the res (due to outside temps). My AC does not affect my veg or cloning zones temperature. I use 1.5 mls of Z7 (A+B) and 5 mls of Rapidstart...... that's all. I do notice Shed, that some strains clone much easier than others. My Blue dream and Critical both took 6 days to sprout their 1st root ,whereas my ATFs almost always take 10 days.
