DIY Closet DWC Grow - First grow ever

no sir...i cannot wait. I know I have been saying this for a month, but I think by this time next week I will have harvested all but the 1 white widow. I put new airstones in a couple days ago and feel like I have noticed the plants progressing again. The white hairs of the new bud explosions are slowly slowly starting to turn amber, and the trichs all around are slowly starting to turn as well.

This being th first time, I don't know how long this transition takes, like if I should expect for things to be ready in 2 days or 7 days. I'll just wait. Watch my clones start starving for light.

I'm glad the bubblegum tastes good bro. And I'm glad the effects match.

Let's hope my girls do me as proud.

Well put Ray...like the way you think, GRRRRRRRRR Jig!!! How you? Tell your wife I think she's awesome. That's a great gift she got you Must think you're the bomb's daddy or something, LOL Your plants look great!! I think I may be more ready for this harvest than you are!! You have the patience of a saint I tell you...and a set of clones right behind...very NICE...MJ

Very nice man didnt see the pics of your trimmed nug last time awww i dont know how your doing it..........i had lots of new growth on all my plants totaly new bud sites that just poped threw the old buds it was nuts seeing that but i said fuck it and just cut it all down wensday... i know the longer i wait the better but from what i saw i am happy with what i have now.

Oh yea you have to be careful with the airstones i broke a few just trying to pull them off the airtubes..... but i just get some really hot water witch seams to clean it really good i even throw some clerex or drip clean to help it

Thanks for stopping by Ray Fox, MaryJane... I was starting to feel like I was talking to myself.

Yeah man... I learned that really early. I think the first few airstones I had I broke before I even bought plants... I was pissed. The little plastic parts just ripped out. I think I wasted like $20 on stupid broken airstones. I just kept breaking one after another, haha.

Right now I'm using these things called 'Air diffusers"... I don't know the difference, if they are ceramic or sand, they feel ceramic. Anyways they are like $5 for a pack of 6. And they have a separate plastic connector, so you can't break them.



I tried cleaning one airstone with vinegar, it didn't seem to work that well. And then I was freaking out becuase it smelled and tasted like vinegar even after a long rinse... so I was scared to put it in with plants. That one I threw out.

Anyways, my wife bought me 4 packs of 6. Plus there are 6 more floating in the root mass of my plants now. I also pulled the extra 6 from my plants and they were mostly clogged.

Warm water works? Or hot water? I'll try that, and if I need to I'll get a little clearex.

I just let the sink get at hot as it can then soak seams to be working for me

Its these great end of the thread celebration messages that are in many ways no different than when Natives did rituals honoring the beginning of the harvest after a long period of laboring over the land or during the celebrations that traditional wineries partake in; when the fruition of a long and arduous season comes together and the best grapes are hauled into a giant bucket and stepped on until the first wine of the season is pressed and can be individually tasted and enjoyed. Its like a song mounting to its peak and you just can't wait for that crescendo.

Someone else pm'd me this question... here's my answer to them.

Vegging is sorta relative. What I mean is I have started both times from clones... and they were really good clones. I would guess they were 4 or 5 inches when cut. Then they sat under weak floros for 2 weeks, making tiny roots (the pics I have of them just peaking out of the 1" x1" rockwool. Then I veg those clones for 3 - 4 weeks. I use between 20 - 24 hours of light, haven't really decided what I want to go for yet. So anyways, I guess that make me veg for 5 - 6 weeks (counting time at the shop). I think I vegged my first crop a week too long, and I think the second crop is just right.

Sometime I want to grow a monster... veg it out for like 3 monthes... then flower and get a couple pounds, haha. I don't know how efficient it would be.

Please feel free to ask any more question.

Thanks for the words Sicc & Wretched... you guys sound like a horror duo.

I appreciate you guys checking out the pics and all. We'll be blazin this bud in just a few weeks.

plants are looking great wish i could smoke some of that fine ass herb

What's up bro, haven't had internet for the past week or two.
Buds look awesome. It makes me jealous since I've had to put a stop to growing until we move since I am staying with the inlaws. I guess two months isn't that long. I'm just glad I haven't missed the chop yet.

I saw all the pics, WOW! Looks just so supple. You really have a green thumb, a sticky one at that!

Sorry i haven;t posted in afew jigg, i've been swamped with work and school, can;t wait to see harvest!!

I forgive you dj crane. What is the hardest class you have right now?

Thanks to you DG and josh, I appreciate the nice words.

And treehigh, damn man... I figured out why my plants aren't ready yet... it's becuase they were waiting for you to get internet access. I'm glad you are back online so we can wrap this grow up.

I am noticing some of the white hairs turning to amber. A hopeful estimation would be maybe Friday. More realistically another week. If they go 9 more days... that will mark 11 weeks since flowers showed.
