Themaddabber's Hempy Bucket Bathtub Grow 2017

TheMadDabber said:
I guess my thing is I'm only running one tote.... or only plan to run one. And I could always mod this original tote to become my res if I want to go to an arrrrDWC with 2 buckets, right?

I mean I love the idea of not having to battle lifting the lid to Ph, test tds/EC, change and drain the res, and (instert all the other annoying ass inconveniences associated with non-RDWC here)... But I'm thinking I will have a drain low on one end (nearest the tub drain) and a 5 gallon homie depot bucket above the res line. Connected to the tote so can top off automatically. It may take a little bit but I should be able to configure it and fill it so it automatically feeds nute solution to the main tote throughout the week. So I will only have to mix up nutes every week. Fill the supply res with enough for the week, and just check up daily on readings. This watering daily and mixing nutes daily is getting to be a task this stoner can live without

You’re going to love it. So much easier with a res/control bucket. I still use single DWC buckets in veg, but I only keep 4. It’s easy enough for me to manage, because I rotate bucket changes. This grow is the first use of my little 2-bucket rdwc system. I’ll never go back. So much easier to work with. Saved my back and best of all, it feels like I didn’t do much of anything.

Sounds like a solid plan bud.
 
Okay update time!

We're at day 16 of 12 12

As grandpa would say things look okay.

Temps stayed at a max of 75° yesterday, which I loved, but I had to cut the fan to achieve that humidity was closer to 50%

Kicked the fan on earlier were back at 79° ugh. Good news is I get it down to 66 every night so hopefully that will bring some color out of her. Humidity is lower which is nice! 38%

Enough of that boring stuff, on to the pictures!

The purple on Lilly's fans are cool. Are they that color or is it the lights?

Stems are purple yep. And gloria's are almost pink . The Lilly I'm smoking that AB grew has got some purple to it! Really pretty for a sativa. I'm gonna back off the nutes for this weekend and just give her water. She's got a little claw but and a tiny tip burn but her flowers are looking very choice!
 
Hey neighbor
Girls are looking freaking awesome!! Lol your gonna love the frost factory Lilly opens up brother, she's a sticky one for sure :rofl: Just a heads up for ya, Lilly loves lots of light......lots of it!

Yup yup the roads were not to crappy on the way into town this morning but holly crap the fog got so bad ya couldn't see 50 feet. Now on the way home the hwy was a POS and traffic was slow but hey, made it home ok so all is good. Hope your Mrs. had safe travels today!

Going in to the GR tomorrow and up pot the last two girls, take the 4x4 tent down and get all the lights up and fired for flower Time :cheertwo::cheertwo::cheertwo::high-five: Been dragging my ass way to long on this crop and it's time to get them done so we can move to the next batch of seeds. Speaking of seeds, need to plan the summer crop up too.......really want to try out some of dynasty gear......unless I can find something else that has gobs of goodness to it. Lol I guess I'm like everyone else, want lots of sticky, Great yield, great buzz, great flavor :rofl: is that asking too much lmao.

Have great one Dabs and we will chat a bit later on

Thanks buddy

Well hopefully she will be getting some light from the board I put up tomorrow . I probably need to do a little defoliation on the Lilly too. Nokt sure what the consensus is or if you prune much but may help the top nugs come out just that much better.

Glad to hear the highway wasn't too bad.
It will be a real jungle in your room here soon buddy.... not that it's not already. Some mighty fine strains your running. This summer we can totally look into some frosty options! I really want to make our own strain .

Anyways hope you and miss J are having a wondeful evening!
 
So officially going to taste some goldie....

You know we're going to need the spog® smoke report!
 
Smoke is a little harsh but not over bearing. Pleasant floral taste with a lemony sweet finish. Felt the 2 hits in the back of my eyes about 90 seconds after the second hit..... kinda botched the drying but I'm very pleased for my first micro harvest! I will probably do 4 little ATF for the breeding project I started as spogs . I'll post a link if anyone is interested to tag along. IVY and the clones will be updated over there from now on....
 
Oh I'm pretty sure someone will follow you over there ;).

Gotta love a lemony sweet finish! Congrats :thumb:
 
Your name seems to indicate you love to dab - which is the main way that I injest my cannabis. I don't like smoking joints because I have never been able to take the heat. I'm planning on getting a rosin press to make dabs, but would you suggest pressing flower or using a dry ice method to get hash and press that? I want less work if possible and know I only get 1 gram of oil per 5 grams of bud. Just trying to plan out what I need before I need it. :;):
