Week 1 with my 2 Strawberry Kush babys. This is my first closet grow though I have been growing in my space buckets for the past 2 years. Im excited to see whats to come! :D any comments and advice are 100% accepted and encouraged. I intend to be posting high quality pics and updates weekly and hope to be able to make some really nice time lapses.
@DailyDabs, Nice bro! Hope it solves! Both girls are showing? In my case i felt was a PH problem with a bit of salt build up, is a diferent medium but you get the point, too much iron also locks cal mag. ๐๐ป๐๐ป
@CANNASIM, I was thinking maybe some light was getting in the reservoir so I added more layers of black out on the bucket. I'll try adding a bit more cal-mag since its only at 1.5 tsp/gallon.
Awesome ๐๐๐
I don't know if it takes you a lot of time to do such a great Timelaps, but keep on making them, it's really fantastic to see how she grows ๐
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thank you and I plan on haing a time lapse all the way up to when I smoke her haha It doesnt take to much time to do the time lapse I just have to remember to turn the camera on and make sure its plugged in so the battery doesn't die.
I am glad you did this. For several reasons I use DWC.
1. I wish more people could see just how fast they grow in DWC. (Thanks youโve shown this)
2. DWC uses way way way............ less nutrients.
3. Several quality nutrient companies have included organic components in hydroponic fertilizer such that mine tastes and smells as good (or better) than soil grown.
4. Maintenance on DWC isnโt really difficult.
I could go on... Iโm hooked on DWC!
@CANNASIM, Thanks man, the lights are just 4 (2 currently) 25W leds wired together. 1 of those per plant. I was thinking about getting some COBs but I already had one light top from my space buckets so I decided to go for it and try them out.
@BigDaddyK, no its not the battery, I keep it plugged in. The Time lapse app only allows a set number of pictures, 990 and only allows you to change the intervals at which the picture is taken and it only goes up to one picture every min. so one picture a min for 990 pictures is 16.5 hours. Idk why they done just make the picture count unlimited. Seems like a very simple patch fix.
@BigDaddyK, Thanks man :) I'm using the Sony A6300. Its not the best camera for time lapse but it is a very nice one. Some things that kinda suck are that you pay a little over 1K for the camera then they make you pay 10 bucks later for a Time lapse app that only record 16 hours so I'm missing 2 hours a night in veg. The camera takes very high quality pictures and has great 4K video its just not a great Time lapse only camera.
@BigDaddyK, That's what I was thinking as I was posting this haha I'm having a hard time getting that fan in a good spot to blow her around a bit without being too strong so I put it on the lowest setting and have it aimed at the reservoir but I'm moving it around every other day so I'll find a good spot eventually haha
@BigDaddyK, Thanks man! I was planning on growing 2 strawberry Kush plants but the second one just didn't hold on so I had to scrap that one. Since I am using 5gal buckets for the reservoir I can only fit 3 of those buckets in there at a time and then its starting to get cramped so I would have a lot harder time changing the water and doing pH checks. I think 2 plants in there LST'ed to be as wide and flat as possible is my optimum set up.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I have a lot of un used extra cables in there right now. most cables in use are strung along the wall though i do have the power strip along the back wall water yet to get back there.
