Super Skunk - DWC!!

@@motaman311, yup I went to 18-6 last night got 4 inches of stretch across the board....even hit #8 with a 3/4th gallon of nutrient's yesterday...she popped up also...clear flowering going on all 8 now...I also turned on these heavy heavy red lights I bought first...$75 bucks a piece they are about 150w real power NO FANS 3 50w COB's...just have to watch my temps....I wont be getting my portable A/C unit until the end of the month, then I might be able to add the third over head light, which minus the fans would be around 850 real watts total if I could run them all....hopefully for the last couple weeks of flower...I have the Red lights about half way up on the sides of the tent angled about 45 degrees...they are in my tent set up slide show video from week 1...dont know if that helped or just giving them the 6 hours of darkness....but thats 4 more inches of buds....raised the lights up to 36" again today...which made me feel a lot better...hoping for some more stretch...at around 16-17 inches now....if I'm lucky I might still get another 10-15 inches?...yeah I was going to ask if you just used a hole saw for the coolers...thats not a bad price since you can use them over and over with an easy clean out.....I will just throw my fabric pots away...im not going to try to wash them....now I just have to decide when I want to water again? but they really liked the heavy watering at almost 750ppm 6.07ph....#8 HAD RUN OFF AFTER Florakleen of around 700ppm...but after that dried and I watered yesterday the PPM of the run off was 2400...but im sure thats all the combined residue that precipitated out...I have them raised up a couple inches so the pots dont soak up any of the run off back up....probably water again tomorrow....but never know might late tonight? they are looking much happier....I think next run I will go 20-4 1st three weeks then switch to 18-6 for the GSC autos....O'yeah have you ever tried the 35% peroxide to add more oxygen to your hydro ever??? I was looking at that stuff at my local hydro store which lucky for me is about 2 miles from home....and do you ever add Co2? I was thinking of buying a $100 20lb tank from amazon....I need that and a R/O filter system...last three purchases portable A/C, R/O filter system & Co2...I would just use the Co2 like my friend Wallace used to, no regulator just the occasional light trickle over the plants once a day....I have heard that is best right before lights out???

@@Wilson_McNugget, thats some great growth and stretch! I dont use peroxide cause I use hydroguard for beneficial bacteria and it would kill it and i am nervous about it killing all the organic and natural stuff in the liquid karma. Its great to sterilize and provide more Disolved Oxygen but there are a lot of things I could do to increase DO if I wanted.. Make more of an aeroponics setup. More oxygen is created in a waterfall effect in the reservoir. If i ever got root rot i would treat with peroxide though for sure.. Think im going to start using it more for cleaning though. I dont use Co2 because i am just not familiar enough with it and how beneficial itnwould be for me. I have my extractuin fan set on pretty high, so im not sure the plants would be able to use any of it.. Or use enough for it to be worth implementing for me. I really like your idea of the 20-4 then 18-6 switch. Reduce the stess on those girls too

@@motaman311, yeah I am pulling 440cfm 24/7 from the 6" extractor fan to keep the two lights temp in the mid to high 70's in the tent....Co2 is heavier then air, and can be added to the environment right before lights out when the extraction fan could be turned off for a couple hours....its cheap enough after the initial purchase that adding some I think is worth it....I would wash things out with Rubbing alcohol...just cheap ass 90%...I used to use that when I cleaned out my tubs when I used to grow mushrooms....I should move to Denver or Oakland where they decriminalized mushrooms since they cost me about $1 per ounce production costs...but cleaning with alcohol works perfect I just pour some in the tubs then wipe it down with paper towels....that kills everything and sterilizes them....I have never had a problem growing mushrooms in the same tubs after doing that, & they are a lot more susceptible to pathogens/mold/mildew....plus its not harmful to your skin with to much exposure like peroxide can be....really cheap too....yeah I know what you mean fish tanks use the waterfall method in their air induction systems, as well as a little submerged air bubbler....I have read that 1600ppm of Co2 is ideal for cannabis, but just raising it a bit will increase yields...most houses are actually under 400ppm of Co2 levels higher then that they say can cause humans to have head aches....plus you can get a little adapter thing to make your own dry ice....then make dry ice bubble bag keif...then turn that into e-liquid or dabs...good thing to do with the trim and larf….its as, if not more effective then making bubble the hard way (which I have done quite a bit of in a Humboldt Co. Sheriffs garage of all places)...plus its dry right away...yeah the girls are liking the 18-6 now I'm positive the 24 light holds off flowering in autos probably retards growth as well...but for more advanced training of autos I think 24 hour light is essential to buy some more time(just my opinion based on results)...again I have positive results with another about 2/3rd gallon per plant after two and a half days with no water....got decent run off again and they responded well....starting to actually see budding structure forming on #3 the furthest along and lots of pistils on the other ones....still very early stage but showing nice progression from day to day.....got another inch since watering but I am expecting a better stretch tonight during lights out as I had the larger growth spurt the second night after the initial heavier waitering....its funny that that much water has actually improved the way THEY STAND UP and are looking as well filling out nicely after my heavy training and defoliation in week 3....the roots dont grow into dry spaces, so I'm under the impression that saturating the entire 5gal pots has increased my root base drastically which is very important....the tent is actually starting to fill up now....I still have 4-5 weeks probably if not 6....looking really good though....I need to get a better camera with a flash to take some better photos now....#2 has done the strangest thing....I topped 2,4,5,& 6 #2 has THREE MAIN TOPS coming from where I topped it....I didnt FIM #2 it was a clean toping....but a few days after the first two main shoots popped the third grew right from where I topped it??? now all three are even in height and size....its looking like I should get some decent results for my first try.....still a good ways to go though still....im going to stick to this watering method as long as it keeps showing quality results.....

@DrGreenThumb95, Thanks! I only have 1 bud left (4-5 gram nug) in curing haha. Been almost 3 months now i think... Saving it for a special occassion 🚬🍀

@@motaman311, that gan' be some sweet ass nug man!

@OrganicPower, thank you!! It was a great learning experience. 👊

@Eauderay,Thank you! 😎👊

@Hilkes_Herbs, Thanks!👊

@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks! I am still trying to figure it out and keep forcing the PH to 5.8+. I just don't want to over PH up the water and cause issues from too much of that stuff. The drop wasn't too bad today and my stems are starting to get really purple, so I upped the cal-mag a bit. I am hoping the minor increase in cal-mag + keeping the PH up will do the trick. I am also starting to phase out the hydroguard, hopefully that will help. ✌️ 🙏
