going run ripen this week and see how it goes. I'm still looking into a peltier cooler but that's going to be for my next grow. If anyone has used a peltier cooler to chill there res can u leave a comment to let me know if they are worth getting. I'll update pics during the week. Day 78 Test 13.5L Ph 5.6 Ec 1.6 1ml Ph up ph 6.1 Ec 1.6 Day 79 Test 12L Ph 6.1 Ec 1.6 27deg again 2L water ph 5.9 Ec 0.2 Test 14L Ph6.1 Ec 1.5 Day 80 Test 13L Ph 6.2 Ec 1.6 Ph down Ph 5.8 Ec 1.6 Had major power cuts and when I checked on the plant the airstone was in bits and the air pump didn't seem 2 good either, replaced both. Day 81 Test 12.5L Ph 6.0 Ec 1.6 New res 14L 5ml/L Ripen. 14L Ph 5.9 Ec 1.9 20Deg test 14L Ph 5.9 Ec 2.0 21deg did a defoliation Day 82 Test 12.5L ph 5.4 Ec 2.1 22deg water 1.5L ph 7.1 Ec 0.2 test ph 5.5 Ec 1.9 1ml ph up Ph 5.9 Ec 1.9 Day 83 Test 13L Ph 5.4 Ec 2.0 22deg water 1L Ph 7.1 Ec 0.2 1.5ml ph up Test 14L ph 6.0 Ec 1.9 22deg Day 84 Test 13.75L Ph 5.4 Ec 1.9 22deg 1.75ml ph up test Ph6.1 Ec 1.9 Good week. The buds are really putting on weight. Looking at the trichomes and it's nearly there. Will prob keep this res going for a few more days and then go into ph 6.0 water and chop. Must say I have really enjoyed this strain and the dwc.

Hey my man, so how difficult is it to grow DWC? I always love when yous guys lift the root basket and it's like full of Roots like that. G'luck and Stalks Strong!! 😎👌👍👊

@OhcanaDAbiz, No a co2 bag wouldnt help because the heat issue with dwc is water temp. keeping the water oxygenated enough that the roots dont drown. Warm water cant absorb much oxygen. A hempy bucket or dutch buckets like I run is a good alternative to dwc in hot climates. Hempy buckets have to be hand watered one a day though.

@Wicked_Stix, would a co2 bag help with the higher temps? Thx for info definitely going to go this route down the line. 😎👌👍👊

@OhcanaDAbiz, if you don't have high temps then dwc is a breeze. If you have trouble keeping your temperatures down then it can be a constant battle.

Do you keep the water pump in the tent or outside the tent? this is very important.

Ah the air pump is out off the tent but on top of the tent. probably hotter there then inside my tent. My problem really is the room it's in has been hitting mad temps. with lights on my tent is usually 3 or 4 deg warmer then the room. With lights off it's usually about the same as the room. The rooms been hitting 40deg today. That was when lights where off. that's during the day as I only run the lights from 6.00pm till 2pm next day then 4hrs off. Going to move the air pump and add another 2 hrs of darkness. Will have a read up on that device you mentioned as I want dial in my grows during the summer.

@hashy, sorry mate, I meant to say an air pump. Do you keep the air pump indoor or outside the tent? It definitely helps to keep the air pump somewhere cool.. Or if you can invest in a peltier cooler, it works amazing (if you’re serious) Or you can turn the lights on at night and during the day keep it sleeping 😁

It's an oxypot mate. the res is under the pot. I'm going get some hydroguard 2mo. If I had a res I would keep it in the coolest place possible. Just going have do a few more res changes while this mini heat wave is on.
