First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

[wheels619]

My estimation of 2-3 ounces per plant may be way off but you have to remember that the system I am growing in is all about speed and yield. The only reason my girls aren't a foot and a half tall by now is because I burnt the fuck out of them and them the slime came and blew loads all over my roots. Those two things stunted their growth so I am actually way behind where I should be. It's ok because I didn't expect them to make it this long and I will recover any lost time when I add CO2 next weekend.

You are growing in soil and that is not going to give you super crazy speeds or yields but should provide a beautiful taste if you do it right. Remember, it's not appropriate to compare two very dissimilar systems and expect similar yields. Yeah you can pull an ounce off each of your plants, IF you don't fuck it up! JK, but for real don't be so concentrated on per plant yield until you are a more advanced grower. I am really unconcerned with my per plant yield, I was just guessing cuz you asked.

Again, I am happy my girls are still alive. Every time I open the tent and see them alive it makes my balls glow green, is that normal?!?

lmao. my balls glow green all the time. but thats just from fucking beautiful weed plants. lmao. and yes its normal.

Cool, I was starting to worry about it. I took some pics but my camera can't white balance against the odd green glow; Adobe Lightroom crashes when I tell it to Auto White Balance.. Stupid expensive camera can't take a decent shot of my nutsack. 8(

Oh, and you you FUCK your plants too? I am glad there isn't a law against it. My dog watches in horror every time I do it.

Thanks berkman.. U always seem to make perfect sence.. A lot of times I hear peole talking about grow & grow strategies & I just don't get their logic.. I kinda mistook u for a noob when we first chatted.. But I quickyl learned that u don't need a bunch of green bars next to it name to kno ur shit., thanks again

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

& I was gonna comment about the green sack thing.. But anything I said & no matter how I phrased it, it just sounded gay.. I typed & deleted about 3 different responses to this. Lol. So, um.. Umma just leave it at that

No problem, you are welcome. Another thing I forgot to mention. My system is not a set it and forget it kind of thing so if you do plan on doing DWC you better be committed to investing your time and some money to get it right. Ebb and flow is much better for large scale grows and grows that can be checked every couple of days, at least that's what I have found in my research. Just my two cents.

Just thought I would let everyone know what's in the tea that I am brewing. Here you go:


Earth Worm Castings
Bountea Organic Humus
Plant Success Orca
Growing Solutions Compost Tea Catalyst
Molasses (but I won't be using this anymore since the catalyst is all the food that the bennies need and won't clog my pumps)


Again, all Reps go to Heisenberg since I am just adjusting his recipe.

My plants are 12-16" tall now and still growing an inch a day. I must be doing something right.

My PH rises slowly and the PPM has been staying constant even with as the liquid level drops so I am assuming they are using both at the same speed.

 

[billcollector99]

Sorry if i missed it, but what strain(s) are you running?

Sorry if i missed it, but what strain(s) are you running?

It's all Pineapple Kush for this run. I started with PK and Bubba Kush, but the BK wasn't doing well so I ripped them out and replaced them with PK clones.

The Pineapple Kush yielded 1/2 lb in 3 plants grown in ebb and flow at my friend's place so I am expecting a decent yield from these 4.

great setup berkman cant wait to see those PK flower, they should be mosters by the time u r done, keep up the great grow, sub'd and rep'd

Thanks bro, the plants are really filling out now. I am glad I went with the 5x5 tent instead of the 4x4, cuz I need the room for these bushes.

 

[hattowndank]

never hurts to have bigger plants thats for damn sure haha

 

[Sims da smoker (Qboro)]

Nice !! Those ladies look bushy, I am witnessing the stretch during flowering .. Just a few days ago they were 11-14. Lookin real good tho berkman!! U making it look easy

Thanks bro, I don't feel like it's rocket science but it's far from easy. Anyone can throw some seeds in a pot and grow some garbage but I aim to please my own palate which is extremely particular. I am a fancy man, damnit!
