Update! Day 70! Harvest!
not much to say but Daaaaammmmm!
i am just as happy as can be. This will fill many a jar cant wait to fill them to see how many it will fill!
no more restless legs for me for awhile lol
i can just relax... in about 3-7 days they will be fully cured and ready to blaze!
i looked at the roots in my system and to my surprise not even 1 root was rot ! i thought there would have been some but nope.. just white roots there were a lil stainage from the tea though but this was not a rot brown but a light tint that the tea dues.
did smell like alga and soil though
geuss i had a pretty bad ass culture in my res tank
i thought the enormous buds were cause of being so close to the light but i am thinking this culture that was in this grodan and in the root zone was a huge factor too. man if only i had a bad ass co2 delivery system these things would be Mammoths!
another thing i noticed was that the roots never wondered up into the rock wool chunks they all grew straight down into the gro dan cube layer and into the grooves were the water runs though it
. seems the chucks were just keeping light out from root zone. makes me think i prolly could go with a lot less chunks and save a few bucks and just use them ok plugs
all though the 4 plants on the outside edge were small they did contribute a bit o bud but i think 10 spaced in this 2 x 4 would have been great! 12 just seemed slighty over doing it
my advise to anyone doing so high density grows is to have a small fan blowing down from the top of the room and one riding the floor blowing up against your flood table. the air will find its way up and around the table and give nice airflow to the roots and push what ever Co2 is riding the floor up to the leafs. and last but not least LST was a huge factor in getting better buds down low ....hehe nice and chunky ones ones when you drop on the floor it makes a thump
any way some pics of the harvest and some PORN!
