Sounds like overwatering and maybe too much nutes.... my opinion anyway.

When you say you "max out the root zone", what does that mean? Thanks.

I no longer have room for any more root growth at the end of the harvest. ;)

why are you flushing then feeding in DWC? shouldnt be a need if you havnt gone crazy with the ppm....flush before you pick..
how big is your rez and how much fl+ did you add?

I always do a quick flush when doing my change out as not to have salt build up. Is this wrong?? Rez is 5gal but after the air gap between netpot and water it's about 3 1/2gal. Fl + I normally give 3.75 ml but this time I think I accidentally added a lil more do to small spill..

Gnine @ day 37 :) another couple of weeks to go!!, i know she looks very mature for her age, but i assure you there is still alot of growing to do yet. The lower nugs are looking nice and ripened, but the tips are still stacking on the calyxs, and who am i to complain about more growing? I'm on my second lot of bloom bottles A+B from Dutch Masters, and only using a 45 litre res :o This plant has been the most thirsty thing i've ever come across.

I wasn't expecting this dramatic bubblegum/sweet banana stench though!?

here she is day 37









look at that resin!!! I'm gobsmacked!!!!!





Here's a shot of the whole plant. well, from the front anyway. This goes back the same as it is wide :) 1 plant. 6 weeks vegging and so far ......... 37 days. I've checked that number more than 3 times, and its right on the dot.

Looks great FM! Does anybody know where I can find dark colored 13 Gallon buckets in the US? I just tried to order some 13 Gallon EZ Store Buckets from the only place I could find them (hydro helper) and the unhelpful person on the phone said they wouldn't ship them. Not even for $50 shipping? I can find them in white but nothing else. Thanks.

Thanx matey :)
I say paint the outside of the bucket with a non toxic paint if you're worried, i don't think light will get through just because the white colour if thats what you're worried about. Remember the roots are inside the inner pot, so its going to be dark :)


Forgot to add the whole plant pic last night...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, especially with the Pot Sox (assuming I can get them). I just figured I might use these buckets for DWC/RDWC at some point in the future so I wanted blue or black. I also have an incurable case of OCD when it comes to aesthetics. Things have to look neat, clean and symmetrical or I just can't stand it. That's why I wanted to avoid painting or using aluminum tape to light proof. I'm sure it will be fine for the drip system though. Thanks. I can't wait to get started. I have no plants growing right now and I'm legitimately depressed. :cry:

I think Smart Pots would be good replacements here in the US for pot sox. That is what I am going to try. I will suspend the smart pot full of Perlite in a large container and have it drain back to my res.

That might work. Are you going with 13 gallon buckets and a 15 gallon smart pot?

36 gallon stainless steel container with a 20 gallon smart pot. The container is a recycled pool filter housing. it has a ring that held the top on that I will use to hold the pot in place. I measured the container and the 20 gallon smartie is perfect.

I am hoping I can get at least half as good of results as the Masta!

Hey Flowa, I've been following your grows for a few months now. I decided to give perlite a try because of your grows actually. I just started a thread for the two girls I have going. I think I'm going to change up the watering method though, it's kinda hard to ph and change the water. I'm just having a hard time finding the right containers for the new setup. I think I'm gonna go with some 10 or so gallon square Rubbermaid totes. Not sure yet though.

The white 13 gallon pots are easy to find, if that's what you're looking for. Google "13 gallon EZ Stor container" and you'll find them. The dark ones like Current Culture uses are another story, unfortunately. Can't find em anywhere.
