Outdoor Deep Water Culture

@Cxbxust, we could start a GrowDiaries calendar 😂

@THC3,for sure. i wanted to ask you that too

@Mrs_Larimar, it would be my pleasure. Would you credit me and tag my profile here and/or @thc3za on Instagram please

@THC3,may i take your Picture number 6 as background for my facebook site=?with to the picturetaker?

@Chefc14,yes ive been reading about the restrictive law in Italy.... thank you and 420 for all of us

@Mrs_Larimar,Blessed are you in Italy the situation is worse than the Middle Ages 🤫🤫 Go ahead for a greener future !!!! 😎😎🤙🤙🤙

@THC3,i hope Europe follows soon

@Chefc14, thank you for the kind and encouraging words. It's certainly been a learning process and one that I have gained a lot from...not only some amazing product :)

@Reaper, ha ha ha yeah they are getting just a little out of control now but not as bad as the monster bud in the background 😆

@THC3,but your muscles get very strong in the shoulders and in the Legs^^

@ScarfaceGuerrilla, yeah the 3 bigger ones are getting through 10-15 litres per day on warmer days. I am currently carrying 3 to 4 30 litre jerry cans up to my roof every other day. I might need to sell the entire crop just to pay for a chiropractor!

@THC3, Good luck bro! They will eat a lot of nutes and water, be sure to daily check the level in da buckets, i'm also switchng back to DWC, finished to build up a 4 bucket system today along with a micropropagator, visit me from time to time :) peace!

@Experimentgreen, yeah it is an amazing place and I count myself very luck to live here. The weather is pretty good too. Summer months it usually averages in the high 20s to low 30s winter can be much colder and wetter and it can get to freezing at night but mostly it's about 10 degrees minimum and averaging mid teens in winter with occasional patches of low/mid 20s. Generally pretty lovely.

@THC3, oh! Lol I'm sorry, i heard city and just naturally thought us. We have a table mountain a few hours from me in the states too 😊. Cape town is beautiful, you're very lucky to live in such a nice place. Do you have pretty decent weather year round?

@Experimentgreen, no man this is Table Mountain in Cape Town South Africa right at the tip of Africa.

@CRiSPrGrow, 😂

@SJgarden, thing is outside... well, they fly away lol... so what folks do is they make a good environment that ladybugs want to stay in and come to.... it's a whole thing lol bonus : lots of hilarious youtubes of people releasing 10k bugs in their living room "by mistake" 😂

@CRiSPrGrow, I want to second the ladybugs. I released ~75 of them in my tent at the first site of what I think was some type of mite and I have had no problems since, almost 2 months later. They are also dirt cheap to buy compared to pesticides.

@THC3, sounds heavenly 😇

@DILLIGAF, pretty stinky now very fruity and sweet grapefruit and peach

@THC3, how does it smell??

@THC3,Ha! I see the shade cloth. You'll notice the diffs in temp when you crawl under there. Maybe another suggestion is to prop your shade cloth with a stick .. like a tent pole .. for when the wind blows .. to avoid the shade cloth flopping up and down too much and donnering your buds .. breaking sticks, etc.

@THC3, Re heat stress - I see you leaves are cup shaped. Typical when too hot. No, I didn't look close enough to see any brown crispy leaves.. but know what you mean as mine got a bit fried. But shade cloth really works. I had 6 weeks old clones under my incubation shade cloth area .. and though I was clever by taking them out into the full sun one afternoon on a hot day - well they got fried beyond recovery and died. I think times are changing and the sun is much stronger than what we think. Luckily season is hopefully going cooler but we'll still have a good couple of hot days ahead of us. Shade cloth is only gong to cost you a couple of bucks - well worth your while.

@@@Simsalabim, in fact one has got so badly burnt its died :(. Purple orange CBD No.2 RIP, And number 1 almost went as well. The heat stress you refer to, do you mean the brown edges and crispiness? I was away for 10 days and had a friend coming in to water them. I think the high temps hit them in 2 ways, heat stress on the leaves and then also high solution temps as well. When I am here I put 2 litre frozen water bottles into the solution every day to help keep temps down but that didn't happen last week just when it was at its hottest Luckily PO CBD No.1 is ready to harvest and the Bruce Banner is living up to its name by fighting through. But I may well try your shade cloth suggestion if we don't get some cooler weather soon. I really appreciate the feedback man, thanks for that!

@BigDaddyK, yep given they’re on my roof terrace it’s a lot more water carrying than I thought it was going to be!!!

@THC3,that’s mad !

@BigDaddyK, depends a lot on temps but anywhere from 15-30 liters per day now

@MaryJaneUSA, I’m based in Cape Town South Africa. Hydro guard is available but very expensive. I’ll check out your other tip as well thanks for taking the time to give feedvback

@THC3, I’m so sad to see one of your plants pass away because I’ve been passively following this journal and it has been amazing, especially your background and the thought of outdoor DWC. May I ask what geographic region you reside? I live by the equator.. you can try great white bennies if you can’t get hydroguard

@MaryJaneUSA, thanks for the tip I really appreciate it. I’ll see if I can get hold of some. I’m sure the high solution temps led to root rot which killed the Charlottes Angel. The others seem ok so far which is a relief
