    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Yup, overgrowing the light alright. For the next grow I plan on either buying a hydrohut or building something similar out of pvc piping. Then I'll be able to veg a bit longer and keep the light the right height. I did a reservoir change today in the same manner I did last week, 10 gallons...

    Flower For Sex Then Back To Veg?

    If you plan on cloning, why don't you take clones from your plants before you begin to Scrog. Then flower the clones to see which plants are male and which are female. Or you could use your first plants as mother plants and then the first set of clones you cut you could do a Sog to determine all...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    @Revolution101: I don't think to much pollen was released. I only found 4 or 5 cracked pods on the male before I trimmed him. What I'm more concerned about is that I discovered that one of my ladies is actually a hermie. I've only found two pollen pods on the hermie, but I think that I'm still...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Reservoir change today. I replaced the old solution with 10 gallons dH2O, 120mL Florabloom, 80mL Floramicro, 40mL Floragro, 1/4tsp Superthrive, and 20mL H2O2 (I ran out of H2O2). The plants are looking good. The male seems to be surviving the drastic pruning he recieved a week or two ago. The...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    @Lounge: I'm glad I could help bolster your confidence and that you have decided to grow. As for the PPM pen and the anti-root rot solution; I don't have any fancy sort of anti-root rot solution, I use simple 3% H2O2 that you can find at any CVS/Walgreens/Target/ect, and I don't have a PPM pen...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Well, it happened. My one male snuck open four or five little pods over night so I chopped him down this morning. I cut the rest of his pods off into a jar to collect the rest of the pollen. Hopefully the amount of pollen he released over night wasn't too substantial and I'll still get some...

    Height Control

    LST and FIMing/Topping. Here are a couple good links on LST: International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - LST training in detail. Why bushes are better and https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/6834-how-lst-low-stress-training.html. Here is a link to pruning/topping in the GrowFAQ: GROWFAQ...

    Watering with oxygenated water?

    @bigballin - Ok, I can believe that. But what if I watered using the oxygenated water properly, every three to seven days allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, would the plants grow better compared to watering without oxygenated water?

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    I was just looking at the last pics that I posted and at my plants and I thought that they looked different enough to warrant posting more pics. White hairs are popping up in ever increasing density all over my three females. I tried to get a couple of pictures that showed that. Also, I am still...

    Would I Qualify For A Medical Card?

    1. I think if you told to the right doctor what you just told us, you could get a medical card. 2. I think its weird that you capitalize every single word.

    Watering with oxygenated water?

    I was just thinking to myself that in a bubbleponics/DWC system the air pump and air stones oxygenate the water and make it so the plants can grow, even complete submerged. This lead me to wonder "If I were growing plants in soil, could I avoid or mitigate the dangers of overwatering by using...

    Im thinking of tring clay pellets over soil???

    I feel like the hydroton wouldn't hold enough water, but maybe this is my misconception. Try it out and let us know what happens.

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Ok, reservoir change complete. I replaced the old six gallons of solution with 8 gallons of tap water that had been allowed to sit for 48 hours+, 40 mL Floraveg, 80 mL Floramicro, 120 mL Florabloom, 40 mL 3% H202, and 8 drops of superthrive and then I adjusted the pH to ~5.5. The plants are...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    I meant to change the reservoir today, but I was busy all day and now the plants are sleeping. I'll do it tomorrow. I've been busy slowly pruning all of the plants. All four plants have some drooping leaves and branches near the bottom that are super scraggly and limp. I give them the tug...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Those do look like some pimp pumps. I might order one myself. They are also a good deal cheaper than the ones I have found in brick and mortar shops.

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    Some good news for me, I was lucky in the lady lottery. Three of my four plants have turned out to be female. The single male I have trimmed down to just a couple of big stalks. I plan on keeping him alive for two reasons. One is to collect pollen and make some seeds. And two is that his roots...

    Foiler Feed grow..... like hydro?

    I feel like an automated foliar sprayer might be messy and difficult to tune. I think hand spraying would be a better option. This would limit the scale of the operation but I think using something like these Deluxe Pressure Sprayers would be the best option.

    Foiler Feed grow..... like hydro?

    I was thinking about this myself the other day. You could have a DWC setup with net pots so the roots would be bathed in oxygenated water but you could deliver the nutes via foliar feeding. That way you would never have to change the reservoir, only top it off with fresh water when the level was...

    Atlantadirect's first grow DWC closet

    I said I'd update yesterday, but my camera was out of batterys. So here is the update today. I changed the reservoir yesterday. I put in 6 gallons water, 55 mL GH Floramicro, 55 mL GH Floragro, 55 mL GH Florabloom, 30 mL H2O2, and 10 drops of Superthrive. I also added a new larger pump, so now I...

    ?A Place to get glass pipes fixed?

    Maybe you could take up glass blowing as a hobby with the goal to replicate your old bowl? I'm sure you could find a glass blowing class somewhere near you if you live in a major urban area.
