Cropking Bubba Kush and Early Vixen 315W CMH

[Haze the maze]

Well My grow is really moving bad right now.
I have built a top water DWC (http://www.growweedeasy.com/high-yield-bubbleponics-technique) for 2 of the Bubba Kush and am waiting to see if the washed out roots take to the new medium.
I will take a picture if it works. Otherwise I would prefer not to take any pictures of the sad plant torture chamber.
The poor plants just are not getting watered right in there pots and are dying so, drastic measures were called for before I killed My girls.
I have the incriminating before photos and I will release them pending a good outcome in the DWC's.(fingers crossed)
The good news is that the Early Vixen seems to be going Ok slow and steady and the Fluxing seems to be working.
Also the 2 left over Bubba Kush are going to My friends green house and will grow outdoors weather permitting. They will do really well there in Organic, Kelp and Herring Row soil. Mmmm Nature Dirt. You've got to love it. He just picks it up on the beach up here in the spring. Grows big healthy plants and he adds nothing else. It's like pre made soil. I used the same stuff last year on My garlic and it works. Super cool!

Hey haze hope things straiten out my sour'd is doing good & im liking the single plant dwc 3x3 concept & when this grow is complete I'm going to run both rooms in 3x3 single plant configurations possibly a led in one & 315 cmh in the other the homemade bucket is exceeding my expectations I hope this sour'd is as good as they say as it grows good

This might be a re-do I'm just not seeing the progress that I need to get to flower with the Bubba Kush. Very disappointing.
I will try to get more seeds or clones.
Early Vixen looks fine though under CFL's. Maybe they were meant to be the ones.
They are kind of working I guess?
Just sad for all the time spent for notta.and summer coming up fast and no nice weed plants/ I'll catch a break I hope.
My friend is cloning something now maybe I can get one from him. I hope. I really want to see this light working for Me.
I will just look at them for another 2 days and they better start perking up or there dead!or at least in the cold garden to fend for them self's. Good luck with this cold ass winter and spring, Fucking summer already OK.! Sorry to much rain and cold weather is making Me crazy.

sometimes the unhealthy ones take off & give you the best results in my case the doubledream looked good it just didn't produce I went back with it hoping I can get better results in spite of being disappointed with the yield not sure that was a good decision on the sour'd I played it safe it's a known performer I'm really wanting to see your 315 in action hopefully things get back on track you've got everything pretty much in place I'm also waking from a long wet winter & it's high humidity & mold now it's gonna get hot you've got a lot of work invested I'm sure something is gonna pan out

Top feed DWC works great! Starting to see a burst of growth from what I thought was going to die in soil. I am very relieved as My only option was clones from a local grower of questionable genetics (not the grower but, the clones LOL).
I will post some pic's soon. Thanks, for the words of encouragement Herk. I will probably only start in the DWC from now on seeds or clones of seeds. It's just way to easy to do and is defiantly keeping with the KISS technique.
By the way this is how I got the plants into the Hydro (DWC):
Take plants out of dixxi cups and rinse in room temp water out of tap. Kind of a messy job and sort of like washing and scrubbing out a wound.
I then placed the plants into net pots with a little hydroton on the bottom and topped up with hydroton.. Hydroton was PH'ed before use in the DWC for one day. I just put it on the bottom it helped clean it.
Now I was a little concerned about root rot and contamination so, I made a batch of PH'ed water with Hydrogen peroxide and set the plants in that for 2 days.
Then I PH'ed more water and added 350 PPM of good old Flora Nova Bloom. I have had to adjust the Ph daily as this is a low dose for FNB but, the results are in.

They are living again.

I have always done better in hydro I did e&f for a long time dwc/waterfarm is kinda new glad you're getting better results now I cloned yesterday my sour'd is gonna be ready to flip soon

This is day 1 in the hydro. They look terrible, over watered underwatered who knows they look like death.

 

[Haze the maze]

Lets look at today. Ok.

and the roots...

 

[Haze the maze]

The one plant grew 2 inches yesterday and is gaining some nice visible root mass.
Added 3 gal. of new solution
PPM now @ 450 FNB only!
My tap water is 20 PPM, Ph 7.5
Ph 5.5-6 now. ( may not have to adjust Ph anymore due to the buffers in the FNB)

I am a happy gardener!

I'm always thrilled at the sight of root development I can & have grown in soil but tbh I'm not sharp enough hydro works just fine for me & I believe it's all about what YOU are comfortable with now we will see what a 315 can do!

You bet.
Plants took the higher nutes well and is growing fast. it will be interesting to see what they look like at the end of the week.
I have some more (home) improvements to do. I'm going to get another couple of bins and cut some new hole locations for maintenance and will get a deeper bin for before they go under the screen. I will be able to get about 8 Gal. into one of them 10 would be better. That should give Me about 3 days without maintenance during flower ,I hope. My wife and I love going camping. If the weather ever gets nice in BC. Right now I'm using a siphon to change the water and that was a bit of a bitch to do with little plants I can only imagine what it would be like with big plants. Also there is no maintenance hole so, I had to lift the lid. The funny thing was that My siphon tube got a loose hydroton sucked up into the end like 3 times. It took about 3-5 min. to drain.

Peace
I'm gonna have a look at your garden now.

All finished with the upgrade and power system redo:
Finally got around to cleaning up the mess that I started weeks ago.



This is the top that now has a access hole... so, I can look around inside when needed. I just put a old CD case over it.



And the bottom has a drain to garden hose...super cool.





Spent the whole day getting all of the parts together, re-routing power and...


The plants in (they were only in the air for 3 min.)




Now some roots... Look at dem thar roots...


Plants...



Top water system...



Peace
