Scoooter's Green Crack DWC LED First Grow - 2017

Auto's update day 27

They are starting to take off now. Yay! I wasn't sure which one was the super Uzi at first but now it's obvious as the short one. It is a Low Ryder/AK-47 cross and will be a foot shorter than the Black Jacks.

Day 27
Things looking good. Nice growth since yesterday. Water temp steady at 69.9. No ice for 48 hrs. Awesome. Did some LST work again. Super hard to work within the bush that they are but I figure it's good practice. Ive been tucking some leaves under bud sites so there's some twisted leaves all over lol. Hate to cut anything off at this point. 4 Main branches at about 8" long now.

Thanks for checking in!


Beneath the canopy. Looks like they are going in the right direction. :)

Found this old article/post online. No pics and it's a crazy long read but there's some interesting stuff in it about different scrog types, filling the scrog practices, defoliation and tons of other info if you take the time. He writes about something called interrupted Flowering which sounds kind of crazy and is strain dependent. Basically run a 24hr lights on cycle around week 5 of flowering which will force bigger bud growth. I'd be scared to do that lol.

Nice! It drains into a bucket or pan?

After using a hand pump for many years I finally used what I had no-brainer 2.5 gallon wet vac, works great I tried it with the tray last night and it worked fantastically well. No Mas no fuss no Mas I'll post a picture of it in a little while.
 
It fit fine but don't get a tray for a tent that doesn't say outer dimensions OD 48 inches and don't get a cheap tent and if I was you I would cut the corners. That's what I'm going to do today so it doesn't put quite as much pressure on my zippers
 
What I loved about it it was kind of a magical things in the wet vac pull all the liquid dry right off of the tray bottom like that I mean droplets and everything. Wish I could post a video every time I try to post to this or Grasscity (they have to be written or owned by the same people the software app looks exactly the same ) fails after 20%

My local store has loads of different sizes and shapes they range from £5 -£30

Everybody's grow situation is different I have tried what you suggested different pumps and such for my set up six or so saucers it was much easier dealing with a hand pump then I'm out another motor with something plugged into an outlet no way the hand pump was much easier for a while but the wet vac system is the easiest for me.

I also finally solved another major issue getting nutrients in.
got a really good system to get nutrients into my hempy buckets now.
When I want to feed them all I do is take one of the hoses from one of the buckets and attach it to the other hose in the feed bucket. You might not be able to see it in one of these pictures but I have six black hoses one hose per bucket coming out. Then when I want to feed just flip the switch.

If you notice there's a silver piece that connects the two together. All that is is aluminum tape covering a small 4 inch long half-inch PVC tubing it connects to half inch hoses together perfectly you could slide in and out and it won't leak

Day 28
4 week mark! Water top off and tucked some fan leaves under tops. As a little experiment I took two of them and released them from bondage. The branches are pretty darn thick and I want to see if they will stretch and stay in place in anticipation of the scrog. Should know in a couple days I would think. I would rather be training them in the screen than continue to make them bushier. Temps in water and room are still good. Fighting a heat and humidity wave here so the humidity is pretty high in the tent at 65%RH. It's when I get to flower that I'll have to come up with something to really lower it.

Peace :)

It the lwer two in the pics that I took the LST off.
