I was thinking, in an effort to simplify my life... and not have to be messing around with the girls while they're growing I think next grow im going to do a recirculating dwc system.. that way I can have a maintenance res.... should make my life so much easier...

that sounds about right for an auto plant. diesel ryder is known for having a prodominant main cola with little side branching. if you pull an oz off of it youll be doin good.

Get a under current
when I have a bedroom to dedicate I'm totally rockin one of those. 1k but worth it for the harvest u can pull with them. DIY setups are nice too...just have lots of O2, good circulation, low water temps and your good.coast2coast

Im lst'ing her right now to allow the light to evenly hit the budsites below that main cola... do you think I shouldnt and just let that main one fatten up as much as possible or just keep it kinda like a canopy the way I have it now...?

Yeah I could have ridiculous amounts of bubbles if I use my aquarium pump with its venturi port on it, but It uses 140w of electricity and adds a bit of heat to the water, but if im using a bigger system it might be just enough to keep it at the right temp, still now digging that 140w though, but I would hook it up in the res to pump the water to all of the sites along with oxygenating the water... haha I dont know im just excited to try new things...Get a under current

thats all a matter of preference.if you lst your main cola will be a little smaller but your smaller buds get as little bigger. it would be great if you had 2 to try both methods on to find what works best for you. if your already doin lst i would just finish it off the same way.

maybe using a ice chest or cooler might help keep the temps down on your res. it would already have a drain in the bottom and some sturdy handles to manuver with aswell.

Ahhh sweet idea I didnt even think about those... yeah those under current systems would be a piece of cake for me to throw together with my experience with aquariums... I may put together a build at a later date.

fuckin A... i nuked the bubba kush... I love how the pH down bottle just says to add a little at a time to lower pH... well I checked it today, it was at 3.5 and my poor baby has a bunch of curled and burned leaves... shit went down over night... I switched the water completely out and am hoping for the best :/

Ph can be a mofo... just found out that my soil plants I was PHing my tap water from 8.5-6 got too low and locked out cal/mag... apparently FFOF is acidic... owell 8.5 ph water from here on out hopefully they're ok. All you can do is hope after u correct the problem.

Do you suggest clipping off the damaged area's to give more light to the rest of the plant, or just let her do her own repair work naturally?

I prefer to leave it, she will let it fall when all of the usable nutes have been extracted back out of the leaf. Unless it's shading healthier under foliage, then I'd say its 50/50 either way.

Ill just leave it... and pray for the best, I have another bubba kush seed ive saved, ide just hate to waste this growth...

i had the same problem with acidic soil.... when i finally flushed last week my PH runoff was in the high 4s!! bloom nutes will also lower the soil ph drastically i found. ive got all my pots into the 6s ph now. its still low but ill be just watering with my tap water 7.5 ph for the next week. which is nice since i wont have to ph anything and can just straight water and let the ph buffer itself out. personally i cut off all damaged leaves. good luck

Yeah, the weight of the dead foilage was blocking off the healthy leaves so i trimmed her up. Im heading off for the weekend, so ill have to see what they look like on sunday when I get back... I had to put them outside again today because of the fucking cable company, which ended up not even coming... Luckily im moving the plants sunday night to my new house so I wont have to worry about anyone coming in or the smell until my roommate moves in mid august, which the dieselryder should be done flowering by then.
And Ill start my aerocloner build when I get into my new house, that way I can go ahead and start flowering the rest of these girls... atleast the Pineapple Express and the Gigabud, I want the bubba kush to make a recovery first...
