DWC M-L Strawberry Lemonade Second Grow

@NuggetPawn, thanks for the info! so I'm assuming you actually don't take the tank out of the grow space but using the pump to get water in/out. And ofcourse, I always assumed keeping the water temp would be easy in colder European countries but with the tank being inside the tent it would heat up from the light and environment around. Your results are well worth the effort in my eyes - something for another year :)

@HazeyBobby, it all depends really, it’s hard to explain but I have a submersible pump in there that sends water to my cooler, and then as it comes back around I have a T connector with 2 taps on it. So to drain, I turn the tap off that goes back into the reservoir and turn the other one on, which is attached to a hose which I then put in my waste pipe. If you aren’t close to water waste pipe, it’s pretty easy to empty into 5 gal bucket and just walk the waste water to the nearest sink a couple times. Biggest issue with DWC is all the ancillary equipment like coolers etc cost a lot ☹️

@NuggetPawn, what is the maintenance aspect of this system like? what happens to the plants when I assume you have to take the bucket away to clean or refill?

@NuggetPawn, Heck ya man, looks like we're on damn near the same schedule👍. I'm excited for both of us, haha. Great smoke on the horizon, my friend👌

@JinksyGrows, thank you very much, looks like you’re getting close too, I’ll follow along 😊

@PrairieFrostGrow, thank you! 😎

@DeaneR, thanks a lot man appreciate it 😊

@Master_weeda, thank you! Your grows are excellent too, have been following for a while!

@L3G4CY87, happy to oblige :) thank you

@TonyTrichomes, that’s good news mate, glad you found it, when ever I have an issue I don’t go anywhere else these days 🤘good luck with the rest of your grow! See you on CFC

@MaxwellSH, like walking out in the sun 😂 only problem is it’s fucked up my sleep pattern a bit, especially if I walk in after 11pm 😢

@stunflower, no sweat mate, I fall into the same category as you 😁

@NuggetPawn, Honestly, I didn't take it as whiny at all - it has a lot to do with my smart-ass nature. Love your garden.

@stunflower, LOL it is a late night here and you've made me realise I sounded really whiney... lol I blame it on lack of sleep :P Thanks for the kind comment Stun :)

@magicUmbrella, that’s the only downside to LED’s... expensive PAR meters 🌝

@NuggetPawn, i sure can tell 😄 m2, will proly invest in a par meter Godspeed! 🙏

@magicUmbrella, Cheers, probably more of a gimmick but I am a sucker for gadgets! 😏

@NuggetPawn, that's great feedback. I'll definitely give it a go (to not defoliate) on the next grow. I noticed the plants spent more time making new leaves than producing flowers after defoliation but my experience is very limited at this stage. Keep up the great work on this diary.

@HazeyBobby, I would say its a strong possibility it has given me more yield - I am running the exact same lights and nutrient regime and DWC tank. Only difference is the space of my room. But I guess there are too many variables I have added to confidently pin it to one thing. I think I will get at least 50% more yield from this grow, and the colas are 500% better quality and no where near as leafy. I do wonder if defoliation forces the plant to make leafier buds. But I don't know for sure. To me, not defoliating is a win win, more yield (science backed fact) and the second best reason... less work and more time to stare :P

Thanks for the info and keep up the great work, nice pics and videos!

@L3G4CY87, Hey man, if you smoke it in a vaporiser, you can taste the strawberry profile - I don't have one, but I tried some of it in one of my mates kits. In a normal blunt/bong, its more lemon and pine tasting :)

@Blueboy2019, 😊👍

@oldtimer6455, thank you for your nice comments! This is the video I watched, he will do a much better job of explaining than I can. I did make a couple amendments to these instructions though, I placed a couple chunks in with trim and left it for 5 mins, I then only shook for 30 seconds before tipping upside down through bubble bag. I have a theory that the less shakes before extraction, the less leaf particulate will be in the hash. Link below, enjoy 😉 https://youtu.be/Pkw1nkZqG9I

@Nice69, thank you, appreciated all the kind words of encouragement along the way too! 🤜🤛

@HazeyBobby, thank you 😊 they are pretty big but it’s more luck than judgement on my part - your buds look fine to me, you just have more of them so the weight is spread more in my opinion, where as my colas are quite far apart 😊

@MaxwellSH, thank you mate, I PM’ed you a few weeks back, guess you haven’t noticed it 👍😊

@Spazmagi, thanks pal

@Johnnyronco, 👍😀
