thanks, Ya also genhydro got back to me they sell replace diaphragms for the airpumps for 10.49$ each, just a fyi for you guys with them, if you ever need replacements. She said I can order them threw my grow shop and not have to pay the shipping, or threw them and pay shipping. The part number is (#92713).

Im getting bad clones rates, Gonna have to rebuild another clones, my last one is in pieces. So my system gonna have to sit a bit longer, but I got my strain picked out, gonna go all Trainwreck in my system. Once I get roots Ill go buy the hydro medium and get started.. Til then Il keep lurking your posts lol
Have a good sunday guys and take care

yeah I see it now, dawg, the bubba kush clone roots very very different then from seed... No main tap root.. the root system was very fragile and light. I ripped it very easilty away from the bucket, instead of having to use pruning shears to cut the thick tap root and other thick roots that the seed plants produce.... I am very impressed with my Bubba kush but surprised how her branching system just never really evolved more then what she was as a clone. On the other hand my Jack Herer beast from seed is super fuckin massive and very happy to have the tent all to herself now.. . Here is Bubba kushbubba kush harvest 9 21 2013 013.jpgbubba kush harvest 9 21 2013 082.jpg

She is cute, but cant wait for the JACK HERER to finish. Who is the breeder of the jack? Wait a minute ; how did you get that out of the screen without cutting it? ... I pruned heavily today . I have heard some controversy about pruning so aggressively so late into the flower stage, but I have experience with this strain and I know she will love it. I know when its this far along, the flowers are still skinny, immature, stretched way out, and shaded with high humidity that they can and need to be thinned out. I have even let them go up to 3 weeks longer than advertised(11-total) with only great results in weight and quality.IMG_2253.jpgIMG_2254.jpg

thanks HF,yeah those bubba buds are small,hopefully they pack a powerful punch. I have been working very hard trying to help Jack in her final weeks. She was so crushed in my tent. I spent hours separating branches and thinning her out. Some branches and buds that could not get light were turning herm and just white popcorn underdeveloped shit. I cut a bunch away. What is the controversy you have heard about pruning aggressively late in Flower? I rescrogged Jack with both scrog screens again. Her long heavy buds are falling over and need support. The breeder of Jack is sopposed to be Green House Seeds.And I always cut my scrog screen string and then remove the plants. Your girls are very bushy I can see why you wanna thin them out and get some light to the lower buds. lookin good!

The only controversy I have heard about aggressive pruning is usually by inexperienced ppl or ppl who favor strains that do not respond well to it. These two were near death due to ozone poisoning ,so they are nothing compared to what they could have been. I am impressed with this strains resilience. The next two are the same strain but have been properly pruned from the start. Topped once and trimmed every two days. I think I will try the C99 from Female seeds next. Then maybe the blue thai from Dinafem. I dunno maybe something medical??????????IMG_2262.jpgIMG_2263.jpg

wow Hiddenf those sure are pretty! your a really great gardener! I pruned Jack really heavy and shes bouncing back like a champ. The white underdeveloped buds which are now getting light are turning green! SHe continues to pack on weight and still eating like a hog, sometimes 2 gallons in 12 hours. The humidity is gone now. I don't need to run my dehumidifier anymore, which is just perfect timing because her buds are getting really really dense and turning into baseball bats. I have some c99 s33ds , regs though.bummer. BLue tai sounds really really good. Ive got some really delicious strains coming up as well. Its so hard to decide when there are so many wonderful selections available. Whats ozone poisoning?

That jack you have will put this strain to shame. I know that strain can handle extreme maintenance and abuse.I took most of the foliage from the two smaller plants today. They will be all branch and very little leaf, but this strain grows leaves as fast as I can cut them. After they re foliate they will be flowered."Ozone" , the same as the smell reducers produce. It is toxic to us and plants in high concentrations. My A/C unit was producing ozone and killing the plants and causing me illness.It usually shows up as small brown dots in the beginning then gets worse.These pics are medium and extreme damage from exposure.IMG_2277.jpgIMG_2276.jpgIm really looking forward to every ones smoke reports and grow updates. :peace:

Name brand Waterfarms now.The two small ladies were trained to make the canopy before getting the scrog so they transitioned nicely. I cut 5 tops from the larger of the two_Of the two finishing the most damaged hermed and is finishing early so the healthier one is under a 600HPS with tops spread for the next 3 weeks.

I love the stealth cab remi11 and the plant looked perfectly healthy. Yo Dawg its great to see that kind of success with LED's. I have always been afraid to use them. Either way good haul. I have grown both WWxBB and C99 from Female seeds , actually Im finishing a round of WWxBB and just flipped-12/12 another two of the same. I started a C99 seed yesterday. These two strains don't really smell too much like weed at all. The WWxBB smells like sweet weed-flower candy and the C99 smells like canned grapefruit and pineapple in sugar corn-syrup.Both strains have low odor. I use the WWxBB to test new systems, setups, and rooms as she grows no matter what and she tells me EVERYTHING I need to know to correct anything before moving forward with a more demanding or picky strain. She does tend to hermi.IMG_2278.jpgIMG_2279.jpgIMG_2281.jpgI chopped the hermi and left the other under a single 600HPS and spread her out.I removed 5 tops from the larger of the two little ladies.

thanks a lot guys!!!

Ya it wasn't intention just happened to have a huge walk in closet in out new apartment and i always wanted to try my hand at growing. I worked at subway and we alway threw away the boxes so figure put em to good use. Along with foil from the dollar store and the light sour Dawg was a street lap 1000w hps conveniently converted to home power by a fellow hydro grower on craigslist. only cost me 40$

And thanks Dr. AT its like they make em blank so you can fill it in with your personality. AND WOW GUYS a lll you have amazing grows!!!! look at those yields and how gorgeous those ladies are!!!! keep it up fellows and def going to be checking out falls grows.

LOL I remember my sandwich days at the subway.remi11 ,I am looking forward to your next run. I think you can pull 8 oz. from the box tower of frozen bread.Everyone except me has cool stuff on the buckets. I do have free stickers I picked up a while back.The C99 will continue to grow little branches and shoots well into flower.You will likely have to cut away lots of smaller stuff every few days to keep the focus on the main colas. Dunno if the seeds I have are still viable , they are 1-2 years old. Hoping they will pop. Those girls look soooo healthy Greenwhilley , you definitely have your hands/tent full. And of course the DR. still schooling us all, magnificent.You seem to have a knack with these buckets. I grow the strains that take longer to finish in the DIY waterfarms as there is no top bucket to clog with roots. The name brand waterfarms get 3 month strains exclusively.:peace:

I'm running an 8 pack waterfarm in a tent. Humidity can go up to 70%. How do I keep humidity low? Dehumidifier? What methods are used for this system?

Same basic modifications for every waterfarm bucket : cut a little from the ends of each drip ring to make certain the medium stays thoroughly saturated , make the holes in the top bucket bigger (I made the holes in mine 1/4"). That is all I do to mine. To help with humidity I cover each bucket with foil and I also prune heavily. A dehumidifier is good but I think in that case I would increase the air flow through the room. Often it is cheaper to get a second exhaust fan/filter than a humidifier. Do you have the recirculating upgrade for the 8 bucket system? I think it comes with it standard now. What breeder/strain are you going with?
