@JUNGLE_B4RNS, @That_Potent_Puff, Seeds finished germination today after just 32 hours. Went into the rockwool/Hydroton with humid domes. Pictures have been updated.

@Sgtoso, nice I love variety. If i had access to a higher plant count then I would love to do 2-3 stains at a time.😎

@HighTV, I'm not running autos right now. I've got a couple of clone runs I'll be finishing up by the end of November. I've got 8 different genetics from FastBuds that I'll be running through the winter months.

@Sgtoso, Its a keeper for sure. I cant wait to come back to it with an even better setup. Are you doing FastBuds genetics?

I like that pump like it was made for this job specifically, I should be able to find it here in Costa Rica somewhere, I’ll look around if not I’ll get it from amazon. Do you clean the reservoirs at all or just change the water and that’s it? What do you think about this approach below? “My DWC's are SCROG when we run them. I drilled 4 holes in a square pattern through the netpot lid and with washers at the bottom, then used eye bolts and nuts (locktighted) with 1/4" nylon string tied to the screen. The screen is in a frame and I just lift the whole thing up with a line and pulley system. Swap out the bucket and lower it back down. BOOM - DONE!

@PuraVidaG, I cant implement that until I get out of this apartment unfortunately =(

PuraVidaGcommented6 years ago

@HighTV, yes that’s what I was thinking, that thing on top of the light the fan and the filter, poor tent! Ok yes I like that jack idea a lot better, you planning on implementing it? Please share pics if you do, I’ll let you know what I did when I’m there. The best in all your grows man 🌱🍁!!

@PuraVidaG, yeah that would work! Its going to put a LARGE strain on your structure, if you are using a tent I wouldn't suggest that method. I have been thinking of something similar for this but instead of a pully putting strain on the tent above It would use a jack from below. Essentially - All 4 of the Lid/netpots are ontop of a table/surface. Then you jack up that table/surface while the buckets stay on the ground.

You did an amazing job on these Green Cracks man they’re gorgeous! I see now what you meant when you said that my set up reminded you to yours. I hope mine yield nicely given that my light isn’t that strong, I am using a P4 XML2 Platinum LED, it’s a 400W that could replace a 600W HPS, so I hope it doesn’t fall too short. Also, I’m planning on scrogging and was also thinking about topping but I’m not sure if doing scrog only or if topping and scrogging would give me better results? Thanks man I’ll continue following your nice grows!

@PuraVidaG, I find it annoying but not the end of the world to reservoir swap with a scrog. I use an battery powered siphon like this one below. I do however suggest aerating your water by stiring for a GOOD bit before using. The Ph naturally rises as the dissolved carbon leaves the water, so doing this will make your small 5gall reservoir be at a stable PH for longer. https://www.amazon.com/Sierra-Tools-Battery-Operated-Liquid-Transfer/dp/B000HEBR3I/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1539280162&sr=8-16&keywords=water+siphon

@HighTV, thanks man I hope I do get some nice looking/tasting/smelling buds . These are not auto-flowers so I believe they should be fine with the topping, I’ll go for it. Another thing that keeps me awake at night is the combination of scrogging and reservoir swaping, I’ve been cleaning up the reservoirs and changing nutes mannually but I’m conscious that is going to be almost impposible with a scrog setup, I don’t think that I can be lifting the scrog netting everytime I need the clean the reservoirs or change nutes. Did you do yours with a water pump? How did you handle this situation? Thanks man 👍🏻!

@PuraVidaG, Thanks man =) These genetics were actually amazing! You should get some nice looking buds with that light, 600w is nothing to shake a stick at. Generally Topping+Scrog gives best yields, but I would be careful if you are growing with Auto-flowers because they dont like the stress as much. You can Still top them however you just have to be more aware of their health beforehand. Really just make sure you top the plants, SCROG if you can, but for your first grow be sure to Top and you will get a decent yield for sure!

@BigDaddyK, Thanks man 😎 I'm using a 1000w Radiant 8inch enclosed light. I use two ballast's one is a 750 watt dimmable and the other is 1000w. To change out the reservoirs I use an electric siphon https://www.amazon.com/Sierra-Tools-Battery-Operated-Liquid-Transfer/dp/B000HEBR3I?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

@C9_HIGH, Then would help if you put -Auto- Green Crack on description, thanks mate! Nice room and set up !!! Good luck with your girls...

HighTVcommented7 years ago

@MokiPNW, Due to the canopy space being completely full I did not weave into the scrog. I am also not defoliating due to them being Autoflower, so this method allows for more airflow. Thanks for the comment I can always accept help! Stick around for the harvest

hicistecommentedweek 87 years ago

Hi mate. Your plants are looking so great, well done. I want to ask you something, believibg on your experiences. I'm growing plants for the first time. My plants are at 4th week of flowering. But I'm feeling that the buds are so small. Is that normal or do they have to grow up more. I will be so thankfull if you look at my diary and leave me a coment. Have a good harvest.

@hiciste, After a quick glance It looks like the first two weeks of your 'flowering' were still in vegetation. Your week 7 looks like vegetation still. Week 8 is also vegetation for the first half at least.. Its hard to tell from those pictures, I would need a close up of what they looked like. Overall I would say you are looking ok for 2 weeks of actual flowering. Looks like PH problems are slowing your growth down like it did mine.
