we've got pistils!
Performed a res change on Friday. it literally takes me 20 minutes and I love it. I have about 20' of tubing left that I used to connect the inline pump to the res (1/2" i think). I simply disconnect the line to the res and connect this one and it empties in less than 10 minutes. Another 10 minutes of filling with fresh water and a few shotglasses of nutrients and supplements and I'm done!
For some reason this time around, I decided to think my 5 gal buckets were 10 gal when doing my math.... oops. Good thing I'm following GWE advice of backing off the recommended dosage by a 1/4 or so! I originally calculated 46 gal - shouldve been 26! I think I put about 90-120 ml of each of the trio with some LiquidBloom along with the hydroguard, CallMag, and Silica...
Ph'd to 5.8ish... ppm@2550... res temps around 70... humidity around 60 (its muggy today)... ambient temps in the 74 range... going to try and let them creep up to 82 or so during the "day" during flower (i'm on a 20/2 schedule). Want to try and get 82-62 degree swings during the last few weeks of flower to see if we can'tt get some nice colors outta the group...
I also moved the bucket that is NOT connected to the RDWC to the middle of the system. It was getting pretty straggly back in its corner. It is now the centerpiece with the hopes that it'll come back with the stronger direct light (its propped up a couple of inches to clear the return line).
I think I want the Phantom Dual cmh setup for Xmas... farmerjane probably wouldn't be happy that I'm planning my Xmas gift for myself instead of a present for our 4 year anniversary which is in 10 days... suggestions welcome!!
@HighTV, thanks! Im so behind. Trying to get my journal together for diary of the month. I ended up with 16.4oz from 3 plants... the monster (#2) came in at 298g! (as an auto to boot!!!) I had to pull 2 plants to give the monster room. Keep checking back, i'll be going back through and documenting more commentary throughout the day!💪👽👍
yup! I'm running a parallel grow with some folks on another forum in August so squeezing these in to keep me busy until then. very excited about this one, just got my diy rdwc up and running and situated in the grow space this weekend! check it out in week 3!!
