Things have just been rolling along. I topped again yesterday and I expect to flip to flower toward the end of next week. I’ve realized that my brown roots were actually some kind of algae. The Hydroguard was keeping it at bay and at reservoir change yesterday I switched to UC Roots. So far so good and I don’t see signs of the algae coming back. Yet. I’ve also been bubbling water in a separate bucket to de-chlorinate it between reservoir changes. Hopefully these changes keep things steady. I am noticing some similarities with this strain to the 707 Headband I grew from HSO last year. Mainly that it really does not like the light to be too close. I’m sure the low humidity in my tent has something to do with that but other strains don’t seem to care. Seems like these two strains have a common parent somewhere because the leaves do the same kind of taco thing when the light gets closer than 15-16”. Will have to flip to flower this week because I might run into height issues if I don’t. Been working on making a flat canopy, but I can tell by the node spacing that flower stretch is likely to be significant. Will keep tying branches down as needed. See you in a week...

For the big yields veg longer with this strain. You will want like 30 top before you flip the light.

@Gardenofweeden, you may be right, though this particular pheno didn’t have those big fat flowers like many other BD phenos I’ve seen. Looking at some of those other ones, 8 tops seemed like plenty. Ordinarily I would veg longer, but I needed the harvest to be done by a certain time in this case.

Good luck with DWC grow 😀 How is the water temperature? I want to try DWC next time too but I was reading that water temperature is the main issue (too high) and the roots will not grow and RIP.

@bcizzle, I change my buckets every 72 hours...............i never top up or adjust ppms or ph and i never exceed .5 EC

@grzesiekkuzniak, I think that is the biggest lesson I have learned with this DWC grow. I switched to a sterile approach and since then I’ve had things dialed in. I change my water every week and use UC Roots, and I swap buckets each week with a fresh, clean bucket. After that if you just track pH and ppm and top off accordingly, it’s a stupid simple way to grow and I’m never doing it another way.

@iLoveGoodWeed,,if u change water frequently you can have temps up to 25 C and nothing will rot and no hydroguard needed..................dwc is about keeping it clean and not let water oxidize too much ...................too cold aint good too btw..........💩

why do you tape the top of the bucket?

bcizzlecommented4 years ago
@grzesiekkuzniak, I also found some adhesive cable clips that I’m going to attach to my bucket lid so I can more effectively train my plant, while also being able to move the lid and plant from one bucket to another.

@grzesiekkuzniak, early on in the grow I fashioned a little cardboard disc to cover the clay pebbles and keep light out of the reservoir and I wrapped it in tin foil and taped it to the bucket. It’s super janky but it’s working. I found some 1/4” thick neoprene sheeting I’ll use next time that has an adhesive backing and I’ll cut to my specs. Should be much less ridiculous looking.
