questions:
as for now, i do use a bucket. it is a reservoir for my ebb and flow, though. however, i am in the process of collecting an ass-load of the tidy cats 35lb litter buckets to use as DWC containers. i actually just made one, complete with a full nutrient regimen and super healthy mother as a gift to my friend.
so, i'll join up if an invite flies my way...
stay safe

He he, nice pics, aren't buckets great!
Below is a pick of my one plant (her name is Genesis). She went into flower at 16" and (at 3 1/2 weeks into flower) is now around 65", I am bending the shit out of the upper branches. I done a FIM job on her a week or two before flower and have about 10 huge buds (are they called cola's?) about 8-10" long each, plus there are loads (must be 20 or more) of smaller buds lower down. I am hoping for a bumper harvest...:jointsmile: well for a 250w HPS anyway.
I love these buckets!!

I posted a thread over there asking for help with a new setup and they just accused me of being LEO and trying to get leads...what a sour taste i have for that place now.

We did indeed cross paths in another thread Skeet, can't remember which one though. I did check out the 150w club, some interesting reading, although I only had time to skim through it not have a good nose, so will probably have another look sometime soon.
BTW, love the plants man, what sort of yield do you get from them?
elskeetro
02-11-2009, 09:30 PM
i got 4 oz off the Northern skunk and 6 off the Rhino.
The NS is great looking, tasting, and smoking bud.
The Rhino looks like shit. I'm blaming it on the wild temperature swings this winter (44 - 80 degrees...that is me being lazy.) Either way, the mobile scrog is the last run i'll be doing with the rhino for quite a while.

Loafyboy
02-11-2009, 11:20 PM
If I get 4 oz off my plant I will be over the moon. That would last me about 6-8 months! Can't wait to see how much I get, I am being realistic and hoping for 3 (or 4 :D) ounces, as I am only using a 250w hps, and it's my first grow.
Am I being realistic in everyones opinion?
cannakeeper
02-11-2009, 11:44 PM
I would guess 4 because my last run that I fucked up REALLY REALLY bad, I had 6 plants that finished bout 15 in tall got me 2.5 oz total. so a healthy plant should get waaaaay better than that.

i got 4 oz off the Northern skunk and 6 off the Rhino.
just cleaned up the rhino last night. Sadly the final dry weight was 4.7 oz. not 6 like i was predicting. fucking garbage. But i guess it's my fault. I let the temps go wild (45-80) and i think that really messed it up. The last rhino i grew was just as big, temps were 65-80 and it was 7 oz dry. not to mention it looked, smelled, and smoked great. Let this be a lesson to all of us lazy growers.
TEMPERATURE MATTERS!
makes me wonder if i fucked up the Northern Skunk too. At least that is quality bud.
Grrrrr.

Hey guys, hows things. Just checked on my plant to change the nutes etc. and it's gone ballistic! Buds are huge compared to just a few days ago. I normally just top up each day, and haven't been paying too much attention. The nutes I drained off had a pH of 5.5 and an EC of 3.8! (conversion of 640ppm) so approx 2432 ppm! It's nearly 5 weeks into flower, what do you guys think (excuse the burnt leaves, struggling to control the growth and the light can't be raised anymore, and it's only a 250w)..... oh, and the third pic is where one of the colas has grown past the light and is trying to get through the ceiling.:D
:jointsmile: :thumbsup:
elskeetro
02-20-2009, 07:37 PM
lookin good Loaf. Mighty frosty!
week 5 you say? hopefully in the next couple weeks you'll see the buds start to swell. Right now it's all pistils! but most strains look like that at 5 weeks. I know my white rhino does.
You'll be pleased with your first harvest. i guarantee it.
so bring some this way!

Loafyboy
03-19-2009, 09:56 PM
Just cut a bud from my bucket grow, not many amber trichs, so a real giggly head high at the moment. It is nearly 9 weeks into flower.
Bearing in mind that this is my first ever grow, let me know what you think. It is soooo loaded with crystals. I have posted a few pics (zoom in to see the crystals), I would say this is only about 5% of the bud that is on the plant, so I think I am gonna get a nice big yield for a 250w HPS!
Oh and me and a few friends gave a bit of it a test run the other night and it was truly awesome! :thumbsup:
cannakeeper
03-20-2009, 02:51 PM
Canna that is fucking sick looking bud. What strain is it?supposed to be OG Kush but you never know when you get a cut. Soo frosty I could barely see leaf. First couple nugs I took cloudy and the high is soaring and heady. Slaps the lazy right out, I've run around for the last 4 days finishing projects left un-done for a year or more. MY WIFE LOVES IT!!!!!! I'm over the Mendo shit though, still turned out like shit this second time around. The cold ass temps killed my overall yield and I had mad trouble dialing in a formula, Latewoods was way strong and lucas too lean. OK, got bath remodeling to finish now.....Canna out!

First things first, your going to need your supplys.
This is all per bucket/plant:
5 gallon bucket
Net pot - recommend 6"
Medium - I use hydroton, get what ever you like
Dual outlet air pump - get from walmart about $10 apiece
Silicone air tubing - try to stay away from the clear kind if you can, the pet store should have the blue silicone tubing.
(2) Air stones - do not buy round stones or any type that is connected to a plastic base. You will want to get these from a chain pet store.
Also what type of light and what is your sqaure footage for plants?
Tell me when you've rounded everything up from that list!

i'm not cool enough to grow in a bucket yet, or dro for that matter, but i found an air pump at petco, their brand, that ran from like 30-212 gallons. it has four outputs. it was $24.99. i plan on getting one in the somewhat near future. if i do i'll post back, but if anyone gets one in the meantime let us know.
it doesn't appear to be on their website, but it's in the stores. their website sucks by the way.

Mix your nutrients, fill up the bucket till about 1 inch below the bottom of the net pot and add the air stones. BAMM that's it:thumbsup:

When do i have to change the water or add nutrients????Also its that easy basically so the roots just end up growing and staying in the water and they get the air from the bubbler thingy....:thumbsup:

Also i dont need water to be dripping from like the top where the plant is??? And also whats the best way to start the plant in the medium should i germinate it in paper towel method then what should i do next just put the germinated seed tail down in the medium???Dont i need to water it?? Until the roots grow long enough to hit the water???

I like starting my dry seeds in a RapidRooter plug, over a bubbler ... after rooting well, the plug can be easily transplanted into your hydro medium, or soil, etc ... some growers add top-drip, some don't, I guess ... I suppose the absorption/release characteristics of your chosen medium would be a determining factor ... :smokin:

Im new to this what is a rapid rooter plug??? I was thinking maybe to start germinating the seeds and when they germinate somehow put them in the medium and keep the water to it can reach the baby root and after about a week or so then just keep the water an inch away from the net pot what do you think????

I don't belong to this group, so I hope I'm not thread-jacking ... 'rapidrooters', are available at any good nursery, or hydroponic store ... they are about an inch in diameter, and made of compressed bark ... they have no pH problems, and retain/lose water perfectly ... a bag of 50 costs about $13 here in norCal, and are perfect for both seedstarting, and cloning ... place a DRY seed into the plug, and place into a bubble-cloner, etc (rubbermaid tub with holes cut in lid for plugs, bubbler underneath, simple) ... do the Search here for 'bubble-cloner', I made a couple of 'how-to-build' threads here ... I won't recommend the 'wet paper-towel method', that has killed more viable seeds than anything I can think of ... good luck :smokin:

Thought I would drop in and say hey. Been REALLY busy working on my house that got damaged from a storm, a 50' tree that exploded from a lightning strike that left wood chunk schrapnel in a 100' circle, some family issues and in all this, trying to give the girls and racecar a lil' attention so I can stay sane. I promise to check in more often now that the "shit storm" has subsided. lol
I'm still in buckets but switched to soiless since that allows for longer periods in between watering and basic care. I aquired a BuddahxPurps cross that is INSANE!! It grows monsterous and produces HUGE buds. Dude grows them with T5's soo I am very excited to HID those bitches. It tastes like a whole gammet of candy blends with a micro hint of..well, tastes like how rose petals smell, if that makes any sense. I'll post some pics when she gets bulky. Lata ya'll

Hi, I have a waterfarm 8 and would like to join. I am adding a recirculation kit tonight...
I have a question, I am in the 2nd week of budding and I have a couple of plants with drooping leaves... do you think it is too much water?
Thx
