Stoner's RDWC & Soil Grow With Mixed Strains

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I hate waiting for seeds.. can't even plant em yet but I am just easily excited and impatient. *Paces back and forth just looking at the website* It has said it was on its way to the local shipping depot for 3 days either that is not local or my mans is crawling to the depot. I think I am just used to being spoiled by amazon where if I ordered something now and went to bed it would be there by noon.

Well this morning the water has dropped a ton again, this tells me they are drinking; also, the ppm has not changed since I added tea so I am happy this means the sauce is not too strong I think. I added some ph down yesterday after res change to stop a drift up and the ph is now stable for like 19 hours at 6.0

Last night late the tea was ready (I never got to making it till late Monday was still a 48 hr brew) and then I poured like 1.5 liter on both soil ladies, the hydro got some 36hr tea at res change so I will give it the tea boost on the weekend

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

The entire tent has stopped stretching basically and even the hydro ladies have now begun to flower
My ppm has still not changed it is at 1090 not 1100 but that is a good thing, water is still going fast and I don't expect it to slow at this point but I say it especially when the ppm are not moving to show they are eating but at a perfect rate with the drinking. Temps are stable now that I havn't messed with the pumps again; the pH is funny, I mixed a fresh res and it was climbing within the hour to 6.3 so I brought it to 5.8, it then went to 6 and sat for a long time, now it is falling again but sitting at 5.8 lol. I wish I understood more about what makes the ph rise and fall

Oh ya white widow is the only one still pounding calmag and showing a minor def lol her sister does not show it any more

Those hydro girls are huge compared to the soil. Looks like they are give ya a ton of great bud!

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

Ya whenever I run soil and hydro side by side I always see a difference, this is my first time doing it in a journal.

 

[StRoostifer]

I’m glad you are dude. Giving me great insight into hydro and your methods. Especially the tea, you’ve got that tea mix just right as far as I can see.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

This is the soil and hydro on the same day a while back
BD in soil

AH in water

But then you look now and it is the other way around AH is twice the size of BD.

Ya the tea mix is just things that claim to make killer roots and plants and it is definitely holding up to that lol like you can get hydro plants like this without the tea I see it happen but I never can, the tea seems to work for me real well

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

Oh one thing I forgot to include in my update, the leaves on the Afghan Hash plant stink sooo dankly like 10/10 weed smell just from the leaf

Clone Update

Well I thought I would be nice and I warned her I said "you touch that fluorescent tube imma have to bend you in half make you touch your toes".. what does she go and do? Well just look

I can raise the light I am using it to see which ones start putting out new growth, I am going to up pot the girl over the day and then start a bit of training. I was going to train in this square pot but I don't want to change all the tie downs a week or two later. And the rest of the clones are all perky, I am waiting for them to start drying up to give a low feed maybe 300ppm. I fed the Clone #1 at 500ppm again as she had got really dry, here are the other clones

And finally I thought I would like to show you my catch of the day

Some silly moth

This guy just made a mess of my sticky trap surface all his body powder

 

[MrSauga]

Looks great Stoner... albeit the moth didn't think so.

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I have to decide if I am filling my tent with blue dream in 3 gallon pots and doing a quick flower or just keeping 2, my worry is clones grow faster and may over take the other plants however the other plants will be in hydro and are usually the ones doing the overtaking... What do you think @MrSauga ?

 

[MrSauga]

I adjust for height changes when I can. Obviously DWC you're limited but you can always raise the pots of the plants that are lower to maintain the same canopy height. I've used boxes, buckets and whatever else I can find that is big enough to hold the size and weight. You can always offset the start times too.

I also adjust for height when I can but I upgraded from DWC to RDWC with a hard piped return pipe that is hard to lift, the soil ones could be lifted but not this time as they are under net . This is why I was considering doing all the clones as they should grow very even and just do a full soil quick flower after up potting into a 3 gal and sticking under the mars led for ~2 week

I have 7 clones I could SOG them just about in my 4x4

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

I was looking at these to try

 

[MrSauga]

That sounds like a better plan. At least you're working from the same height all at once. Planning makes all the difference. Some will run sativas and indicas so you can see the problem there.

 

[MrSauga]

They look fine. I've never run a 3gal before but ideally deeper is better than wider.

I am that some I know the problem but luckily I have 2 tsl 2000's and with the right positioning even shorter ladies don't get shaded

They look fine. I've never run a 3gal before but ideally deeper is better than wider.

Thank you I always run 5 gal but I was thinking If I am taking them out of a 1 gal and flowering in ~2 weeks a 3 gal will work just to fill the ol tent with some colas?


SOG style always seems to do really good if you use all the same clones does anybody have experience with this?

 

[StRoostifer]

 

[r0am1ng st0ner]

So I have more pictures but things are happening so why not.

This is the roots when I up-potted, hard to get a good shot but there was a good amount of roots.

This is now clone #2

This is a before and after the bending, this clone I am not topping rather just a lot of bending and manipulating. I chose this because the top of the clones just have such tight spacing they are likely to send out the # of growth tips I want just from breaking the apical dominance or desire to put all energy into one main stem. I have done this method before and find the main stem always tries to grow a little taller by an inch maybe but I never noticed it being a whole lot bigger colas.

Edit Why can I not see typos until I hit post I turned the word good into a church reference just by missing that second vowel
