Looking good! I just ordered Wonder Woman and Bubblelicious from Nirvana and I should be getting that grow up and running in about a month. Until then I'm here watching!

Nice! i did a Nirvana bubblicious hydro as my very first grow and she was a monster! Great bud too! I did that under CFLs though, would love to do another under this 600w

the wonderwoman i am doing right now is also from Nirvana, just a taste of what you can expect! haha

11/6/2011 - The ladies continue to thrive! The buds have basically just continued to become more dense, more hairy, and trichomes everywhere! The smell slaps you in the face every time you walk into the room!(which i love).... If they had a car air freshener that smelled like weed, I'd buy it haha..

The tips of the leaves are still somewhat curling up on the wonder woman and it has started happening a little on the Sour D.... any ideas?

I have added a new commercial grade air pump! The petsmart one just wasnt quite cutting it anymore... I opted for the ActiveAqua 70 liters per min. This thing paired with the Deep Water innovations air diffuser produces some serious bubbles! easially 50x the amount of my last pump.
- a lot of people say these pumps are loud, I have found this to be untrue. As long as you put it on a solid surface a slight hum is all you hear. It does get a little war though... luckily not hot enought to really heat up the water.

Thanks all for now! I have been playing with the white balance on my camera so now the pics are a little more clear and not as "orange". So enjoy!

any photo updates?

I planned to do an update tonight but the ladies are already off for the night.

I will take pictures and do an update tomorrow!

The nugs are really starting to get dense!

UPDATE 11-18-11
(worked late again, going to have to push the pics one more day!)

11/19/11 - the plants continue to thrive! The buds have become twice as dense within the last couple weeks and some of the hairs are starting to turn orange in color. Exciting! This wonder woman plan is drinking about 2-3 gallons a day it seems like!

I cannot seem to pinpoint the leafe curling up, unless it is just light stress. Seems to be doing fine despite that. The sour diesel is officially too heavy to support itself (it doesnt get as much wind) so I had to tie some of those brances up.

Other than that not a whole lot going on. If I stay on the track im on the plan is to be done around mid(ish) december.

Enjoy some bud porn below

a little delayed... but no not really, she has been a strong healthy plan! the only thing I would say is that the plants is very sensitive to ph, a little over the 5.7 mark and signs of stress start to form easy fix though



new update coming tomorrow, its been a while!

 

[bigslama912]

12-13-2011 - Hey there everyone! Sorry for the long time between posts, I wanted to update a couple weeks ago but the RIU site has just been too buggy lately! Hopefully things will return to normal. Anyways, a lot has happened since I've updated last!(I realize that some of my posts have too much text so I will try to sum it up with key notes

Key Notes:

• The bud has continued to fully mature and get even more dense!(the nugs dont give at all when you squeeze them.) The plants are definetly now on their downward slope to being finished.
  
• The trichomes are just beginning to turn milky in areas and I plan to wait until all are milky with a good amount of them amber(ish).
  
• This will be the last week of light nutrients and then the flush begins! (No nutes in my bud!)
  

Since the Last update:

• My plantmaxx 600hps bulb burnt out which led me to my local hydro store. I was directed to the Hortilux bulbs and was told that this was the "cadillac" of bulbs for my Lumatek ballast.
  
• Long story short I now am running a hortilux 600w hps bulb, and the plants love it.
  
• apparently the plantmaxx bulbs have a reputation for burning out fairly quickly
• During the long work hours of black friday madness my Wonder Woman in the dwc went roughly 6hrs with verry little water in the resivor which caused some of the top fan leaves to crisp up. The plant seems to have recovered from the stress fully, however the plant has looked better. I was soo pissed!!!
  
• New ceiling mounted fan for better air movement!

So I hope you enjoy the update with the pics, and please remember any feedback or comments are appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

​

What to expect from the next grow?
[HR][/HR]

• Going full hydro with a complete DWC undercurrent hydroponic system with (3) 5gallon buckets linked to main epicenter and float valve.
  
• scrog/lst to maximize yields and light penetration
  
• Switching from Fox Farm nutes to General Hydroponic Liquid nutes, series TBD
  
• consolidating types of bud from 3 strains to 1 per grow. (Easier nute and ph monitoring.)

 

[bigslama912]

harvesting tomorrow.(12/27/11)

will post the results. Happy growing.

 

[smurfyboy]

great grow my friend

 

[puffpuffpass187]

final weight?

 

[backwood grower]

WOW you allow your buds to get that wet so late into flower, must have some serious ventilation in your drying room i hope

But, awesome grow non the less

 

[bigslama912]

Hey all, I know it's been a while since I've harvested... but I've been really high


I've got the bud all jarred up and cured to perfection. The total weight for all the plants came to 404.7g however roughly 15 grams have already been taken from the jars. Not to shabby, I am thrilled with the result.

The Sour Diesel is my favorite of the bunch, in the last week the nugs turned a nice shade of purple and the smell is amazing. So stinky! Next inline is the bright screen and extremely sweet smelling wonder woman, a great thick smoke and a fantastic high. All of the plants turned out great but those two stand out. ha








... The drying room had plenty of ventilation thank you for your concern, appreciate the compliments.




New grow starting very soon. 3 plants, DWC undercurrent system. Caramelo, Northern Lights, Sour Diesel

 

[medicalmaryjane]

Cool! congrats on the amazing results.

will you keep going with this journal or are you goig to start a new one?

I am so jealous of all that beautiful weed! I love sour diesel too. I am starting up some new stuff too but things are slow going right now one of my girls is starting to show quick growth finally!

 

[NoahEbin]

Awesome grow. Hard not to try DWC after seeing these fems explode on the bubbles.
