Tiny does DWC!!!

[tinytoon]

I'll try to put as much plant porn in this as I can!!!

Ok starting this thread a few days early. Just germed 3 "free" feminized seeds that came with our Medibud order, 2 popped this morning so put them each into a RR (Rapid Rooter) which soaked (more like floated lol) overnight in PH'd, 6.0, water with a drop of ST. They are on the clone tray with dome on for humidity. Very dry around here this timr of year so dome is pretty much required. Keeping temp between 78-81 and mist bottom of tray to keep humidity fog on dome. Sunday Moma will be giving up 6 clones to join the seeds and we will keep the best of the bunch for the 5 buckets. The Hygrozyme just came in today so pretty happy bout that :D

Everyone is invited to bring up a chair and we will see what kind of trouble I can get into this time lol :wtf:
Keep in mind this will be my first real full grow in DWC, I dont really count the vegging Moma. I'll try and pic you guys to death this time and see what happens :jointsmile:

Anyways grab that chair, your favorite smoking device with some of that good aged stuff on the back shelf and lets go grow some weed!! :thumbsup:

[Rubberbubbler]

Sounds good. I love plant porn. :thumbsup:

[LOC NAR on probation]

I love some good porn and will be trying the dwc here too. You will not regret the hygrozyme. In a kind of save or else thing the zyme has brought some back from the bad rot. I can't wait to see how it helps with healthy plants.

Your gonna love it. What type of buckets do you have? I found that if you aren't going to grow MEGA SUPER GIANT plants, a 3 gal. bucket opposed to a 5 gal. is a much more modest size. That way, you can grow with using only about 1 1/2-2 gallons per bucket instead of like 2 1/2-3 in each. Especially since you are going to have 5 of them puppies. Aren't those lids with the net pot in them awesome. Oh and having your momma in the 5 gal. is prolly a good idea though, lots of room.

[tinytoon]

using 5 gal buckets from Lowes, the dark gray ones dont leak light. also have a couple small tomato cages that I will be trying to use.

[GetThisOrDie]

Cool... going to watch this one.

[tinytoon]

ok here we go........
3 seeds in and 1st one popped this morning!! :thumbsup:
other 2 pics are Momma ready to give clones

[tinytoon]

1st time having a mother plant to take clones from and let me tell ya ....... what a joy!!!
She gave up 6 clones and took the trimming real well.
pics tomorrow.

[radstu08]

Just the threat I'm looking for...DWC is defo on the cards for future grows.cheers tiny:thumbsup::jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

Got 1 seedling of an unknown variety that is going real well, was a freebie when last bought seeds.
Moma and the 6 kids are all doing fine also

[tinytoon]

Moma before and after her trimming :thumbsup: we got her pretty heavy but she was getting a tad on the big side of things hehe

[frostedwonder]

This is transforming into a party! That momma is a shapely woman for sure.

[tinytoon]

quick update,
the 1 seedling that popped is still doing well, have a fan on it now to try and srengthen stem some.
The 6 clones are also doing well, only 1 out of the 6 really wilted bad and staying nice and green so far :thumbsup:

[mainegrown]

im in..
wanna show what you got for a DWC setup??
plant porn is nice but i like the background too..
~MG

[tinytoon]

this weekend will post pics of tent and setup. Tent in use atm doing its hang and dry thing :jointsmile:

[AquaponicHerb]

nice setup

[tinytoon]

ok couple pics of the baby and it's playmates. Seedling 9 days old and clones are at 6 days. out of the 6 clones 1 looks like it's a goner but no worries since only have spots for 5 plants and have total of 7 to choose from :jointsmile:

[mainegrown]

them clones look so much fresher than mine :(
hope they continue on to glorious growing goodness

~MG a.k.a. le Maine développé

[tinytoon]

I have been doing fridge stasis until now and I love my Moma plant!!! Dont get me wrong if I need to store clones in the fridge I will but fresh is alot better :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

ok it's update time with pics. Got tent all cleaned out, replaced HPS bulb with MH bulb and took pics :thumbsup: I included shots of inside of tent showing light, exhaust fan and also ducting going to outside wall to exhaust heat from lights. Please no electrician comments as I know it looks like a rats nest but extremly tight on space. could not get full shot of tent as room size wont let me get far enough away from it to get whole tent in shot lol

[tinytoon]

Here we have the buckets being used, air pumps being used and dont forget not to let the lil ones play inside the buckets, safety first in DWC :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

and lastly we have pics of airstones installed in bucket, tomato cage on bucket which will be added a lil later when bigger, inside of tent showing space and finally the sprout. still waiting on decent roots from clones which should be no later than wedensday but for now the baby is flying solo :jointsmile:

[ForgetClassC]

Lookin' good. That's a nice tent, huge, lol. Nice little seedling there. Was it germ'ed on the MH? I've always had my seedlings get burned by the MH, CFL is what I like for seeds/clones. Either way, looking awesome. Nice set-up with the airstones, sadly, I bet there will be some lose in pressure and one airstone will output more than the other. I like either the circular ones(haven't used one yet, but they look just so perfect for DWC in a bucket) or the little cylinder ones, the cheap ass kind. They just work good and are cheap. Either way, lookin' fresh.

-C

[LOC NAR on probation]

I just hate it when toddlers find my grow room and stumble in to the buckets and almost drown. If I had a joint for every time I had to pull a baby out of my hydro buckets. I tell you what.

Man the tent and all is looking good. I like the tomatoe cage.
I have to say I'm an Electrician and you don't have enough wires to run all that you need much more. I can tell which wire is going to what plug, man you need to tie them up in a big knot and add some more just for looks. LOL

[tinytoon]

Tent is 4x4x7 and I think the 5 buckets will be the right number. No I dont germ under an MH, previous pics show the lil one just outside the dome that has the clones and they are all under CFL's. The airstones are from Walmart and run about $2 ea or so.

Loc .... ty my friend I needed a good laugh after the day at work :jointsmile:

[derrickadam]

hey tiny whered you get the cool tops with the built in nets?

[tinytoon]

From what I have seen shopping around online, pretty much any hydro store has them. The ones I am using are 6" but have also seen 10". The Bucket Basket fits any standard 3 or 5 gallon bucket.

Lil one in tent is doing real well, 1 thing forgot to mention was running about 1/3 str on nutes with ST added and a lil epsom salts (still no Calmag here) and water level in bucket is just below bottom of basket with bubbles keeping aprox the lower 2/3 of the basket damp :thumbsup:

Clones will join on Wedensday (atleast 2 of them) as having better climate control without the fan blowing on the seedling and clone dome was running a touch to moist.

[GetThisOrDie]

Whats up tiny.

The tent looks great. Did you say that your growlab had the windows? If so could you take some pics? I think having windows is a great idea because I love to look at the plants.

[tinytoon]

Ok GetThis here are your pics :thumbsup:
sorry cant get whole tent in pic but room only so big and can only back up so far lol :jointsmile:

[LOC NAR on probation]

Damn that's cool. Can I pull up a chair and watch the trichomes grow ?

How much is that ? I maybe expanding.

[GetThisOrDie]

The windows are great! Grow Lab is definitely the one im going for when I expand.

Thanks for the pics!

[tinytoon]

np and it was 249.95 from bghydro.com hehe I found the receipt :thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

Looking nice Tiny. I can't wait to see how this turns out for you. I am not a big DWC fan, but it looks good so far. Nice tent! :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

I think eventually I will be doing like a recirculating drip or something but had to try DWC to see how much diff in yeild there would be. The grow room down stairs will be running the ebb & Grow system but I have read pretty much everyone that has that system has changed it over to drip type ....... thoughts?? :confused:

[tinytoon]

nothing new really to report outside of the fact that all 5 are up and bubbling now :thumbsup: just waiting for roots to make their way to the water

[Rubberbubbler]

Hey, Tinytoon looking good man. Is that the Grow lab 120? My vents are closer to the floor right at the top of the floor insert. I am buying another grow lab this week and hope I can get one like yours with the vents Higher.

[tinytoon]

I believe it is the 120, it is like 4x4x7 or something like that.
Have roots coming out of baskets and heading for water on 3 out of the 5 so far :thumbsup:

[Rubberbubbler]

Thanks! I bought another one but got the same one I already had. You got the updated one. I cant wait to see how everything turns out :thumbsup:
You are going to love the grow lab.

[tinytoon]

sorry I have not been posting on a regular basis but with the Cab in flower, the tent in Veg and me right in the middle of building the new room downstairs plus working full time been keeping me a lil busy. 4 out of the 5 in tent are doing very well. The 5th isnt doing so hot. I dont think I put it deep enough into the basket like I did the others so I raised the water level in bucket and also have been hand watering it to get it to come around but still no sign of roots out of basket while the others flourish. Will post pics soon but Grow room has to be up and running by end of month and got clones to start and wiring in the load center for room today. :jointsmile:

[GetThisOrDie]

Dont forget to post pics of the new grow room as well!

[tinytoon]

ok new grow room is up and running minus my air filters that are on backorder but since they are just rooted clones the problem with smell isnt there yet. will catch up on tent grow and post pics of both tent and new room this week. sorry for slacking but only so much time in a day :cool:

[tinytoon]

ok finally got time to shoot a couple pics so here goes, 4 weeks ago

[tinytoon]

2 weeks ago. I left the pic of the little one out because I put the poor lil thing out of its misery. I did learn what I did wrong and that was either not deep enough into the Hydrotron or water level to low, take your pick same result.

[tinytoon]

and now last Sunday 3/7. First day of flower so the bulb turns yellow, days get shorter and we drink alot more of somethings and alot less of others hehe. I turned the lights off on 3/5 when I got home from work and they turned back on to contiue schedule on 3/7. I believe in doing a 36 hour dark period before starting 12/12. Read someplace that it helps reset the internal clock on the plant, I dont know about that crap but I get flowers quicker :thumbsup: Nute setup changed to 5/2.5/10 and again that is ml per gal Micro/Grow/Bloom. Superthrive has been removed from the receipe and for the first time I am trying liquid Koolbloom during the entire flowering. First 2 weeks will be 5ml per gal. Starting the 3rd week it will increase and stay at 10ml per gal, this same week the Grow is removed from mix. Stay tuned more to come including pics of the room downstairs :jointsmile: and for those keeping track the center plant and the lil one that was on the L/F have swaped spots. The new lil one is one of my clones. Cages were also installed and this is their virgin run

[drudown11]

have you used the koolbloom before? Im thinking about giving it a try but i was leaning alittle more toward the fox farm solubles.



cant wait oo see buds on them babies.

[tinytoon]

nope never used Koolbloom. In fact I have never used any type of additive outside of Superthrive. Only stuff I have ever used is GH 3-Part and that is why I went with Koolbloom, wanted to stay with GH since have had nothing but good luck with them :thumbsup:

[martyrprojekt]

I think eventually I will be doing like a recirculating drip or something but had to try DWC to see how much diff in yeild there would be. The grow room down stairs will be running the ebb & Grow system but I have read pretty much everyone that has that system has changed it over to drip type ....... thoughts?? :confused:

yeah...this has been my point...even with most of these systems (drip seems necessary). I think we over-complicate our grows, when we should keep it simple.

LIGHT...MEDIUM...NUTES...WATER...Harvest :stoned: (my favorite part)!

I have seen the auto nute systems that they are selling now...My system requires me to do the water and nutes once a per week. Is once a week too much time to spend with your plants?? Just a thought!:jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

Hell I'm with mine atleast once a day and atm thats 3 visits :wtf:

[tinytoon]

pics again!! ok had to move the unknown strain again, it is now in the left rear instead of left front.

[tinytoon]

dont forget the group shot :thumbsup:

[LOC NAR on probation]

Looking real good. Can't wait for the trichomes. LOL

[martyrprojekt]

have you used the koolbloom before? Im thinking about giving it a try but i was leaning alittle more toward the fox farm solubles. cant wait to see buds on them babies.

Hey DRU...I use koolbloom...Made a big difference in the TRICHS...they were growing on top of each other. (at least it felt that way when I smoked later).

I like it so far...but, purplemaxx can do the same thing also...thee are tons of things out there that are similar nutes.

[AquaponicHerb]

I'll never be happy until everyone is using Venturis :) man I love em..

[tinytoon]

Just started week 3 of flower and everything is looking real good at this point. I took the girls out of the tent for pics, there is still a lil yellow hue coming from the HPS since tent is open but still easier to see than if all were inside. Starting week 3 ends using Grow in the mixture and boost Koolbloom from 5ml per gal to 10ml.

[ForgetClassC]

Lookin' good. Is that the Flora Series in the background? Those working nice? I'm using the Maxi Series and its been straight so far.

-C

[martyrprojekt]

Looks like the good ole' 3 part nutes I am using also! You can't go wrong with GH 3 part.

[tinytoon]

Yup it's the Flora series and it is all I have ever used really, never done me wrong so never a reason to change and untill the day that a grow is proven screwed by those nutes I wont change! :thumbsup: (as long as they continue to make it hehe) :jointsmile:

[ForgetClassC]

I was going to go with the Flora, but the Maxi, being a soluble seemed like it came with so much more. Also seeing as its $9.98ea for 1.5lbs. But it doesn't always mix in all the ways, so the liquids seem like they will dissolve better. Either way, nice ladies.

-C

[martyrprojekt]

Hey Tiny...Love the pictures of your girls budy they look great!:thumbsup:

I have seen people use these Tomato cages in the past...although they seem to veg longer and lollipop them extensively...Have you given though to lolli-popping them? I think your top buds would greatly improve if the plant wasn't focusing on all of that lower foliage. (just my stupid stoner thought process...for what its worth:D).

THEY DO LOOK MARVELOUS THOUGH! :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

I have thought about trimming Marty but have held off to make sure I was doing everything else right and dialed in before changing things too much. Second thing is ........ I dont know how :( Is it just a process of trimming the scraggly crap at the bottom or ????

[ForgetClassC]

How I trim is I set a general amount of flowerage(made up term for this made up definition: the term used to describe the amount of flowers present) that seems like the plant should be at during this stage in the grow. Then, remove all growth that is lesser than that, this way, it will only focus on making better buds, rather than making more buds. If I'm too high and that didn't make sense, my bad, lol.

-C

[tinytoon]

Believe it or not I think I understood where you were going with that lol :wtf: The new room downstairs starts flowering this weekend and I did plan on doing "something" with them. Hey Marty I have evn bigger cages for them lol. Have not posted anything bout new room yet as we are still working on getting used to it :cool:

[tinytoon]

well I got up a lil late this morning (day off) and went to the tent to topoff water and what am I greeted by?? BALLS!!!!!! My real tall unknown strain is a frigging male :( well we yanked him out and will be killing off the clone I took from it also as I am not gonna Mother a plant that has more balls than the last person to tell me to F*ck off :wtf:
Not to mention my day off just happens to be the friggin coldest day of the dam week!!!!

[tinytoon]

Tomorrow is Sunday so everyone remember to drain and fill :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

ok start of week 4 and atleast the only bad news was finding the male but atleast it was found and removed. Did do some rerouting of branches and a touch of garbage undergrowth removal :wtf: hoping between running these in DWC, adding KoolBloom and keeping the crap trimmed maybe we can increase our yeild a lil. Pics are below, I did the trimming after pics were took and watchout for the guard dog :D

[tinytoon]

So far from what we can see KoolBloom does what it says it will do, no false advertising there. Lots more flower sites earlier than normal and coming in alot closer together too. I see large colas in the near future :D

[jtsik330]

WHOA now thats a guard dog! Your buckets are awesome and I am setting up a similar bucket at the moment. How full do you keep the buckets with water?

[tinytoon]

they are 5 gal buckets with 6" bucket baskets. Started with 4 gals of water, puts water line right at bottom of basket. once decent amount of roots have made their way to the water I then cut it back to 3 gals per bucket

[stra8outtaWeed]

what up toon man...had stop in see what was cookin here...nice plants and love the Rotty...they can look ferociuos but be as gentle as can be...you don't mees with him unless he knows you...that head is the size of a bear....ans so are the piles in the yard i presume!:D

nice lookin ladies.:thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

Hey stra8 thnx for stopping by and they get better looking everyday :thumbsup:
You see the lil fluffy toy that is in the other pics? thats one of his toys lol He actually belongs to my GF and cries like crazy everytime she leaves the house. when she comes home he steals her shoes so she cant leave again hehe. and yup there are lots of "piles" :toilet_claw:

[StickyBuds1987]

Hey tiny just read ya log your ladies look very nice fire buds coming soon lol good luck and cant wait to see the finished yeild:stoned::jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

week 5 of flower starts and I have quite a few pics this time. Seems i'm starting to learn how to use this camera a lil better so hopefully pics come out good. Nothing new to speak of just buds forming and getting larger :thumbsup:

beware of 2nd guard dog hehe

[tinytoon]

pics page 2

[stra8outtaWeed]

nice grow toon man...ladies are coming along nicely :thumbsup:

thats cool how the dog steals her shoes...my dog is not so big...little cocker spaniel but he thinks he's big..especially when he's on the other side of the glass...one day he was going nuts on the window and i go look out and there's nothin there..usually its deer or a squirrell..but everytime i turned around he started trying to get through the sliding glass door...so i look back and i see a lizard run across the patio and he starts again...i said "shut up and bark at something worthwhile" i think he understand me which is scary...but he looks at me like "what i'm just doin my job"...dogs are great...even when you come home late they are happy to see you :jointsmile:

if i am in my grow room he will sit outside the door waiting for me :D

[tinytoon]

Honestly I think the only thing those two guard is my girlfriend (their owner) and their food dish!!!! :icon506:

[tinytoon]

week 6 begins and everything looks good and not changing a thing atm

[tinytoon]

couple more pics

[LOC NAR on probation]

Damn tinytoon. Now I got to get out the bucket lids I just got.

Looking sweeeeet. How's the smell ?

[martyrprojekt]

Looking Good tiny...I wish I could grow good Haze plants. Yours always look great.:thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

smell isn't real overpowering but it's there no doubt, not to mention sticky fingers too :thumbsup:

thnx Marty I just stick to a routine and let the plants do the rest really hehe :D

[martyrprojekt]

Is this Medi-bud again? I gotta send you some beans! Maybe a couple white Russian Fems...so you can get a break from the HAZE!

[tinytoon]

Aye is still Medibud. We have been looking at other strains and after the virgin run in the basement I'll scrap a few pennys together and order something new. Still looking at same suff I mentioned before, Blueberry Widow, Strawberry Cough and a few others I cant remember atm :jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

well after seeing the ladies downstairs I guess they dont look quite as bad as I thought so I will be posting pics of the virgin run of my 10-site :D

[tinytoon]

Ok starting week 7 which for these guys is last week of full nutes, next week is half str then final week plain water. As the title says I have pics and a possible problem. If you take a good look at the leaves you can see what appears to be nute burn on the big ones but if you look at the lil one, or the pic of just the leaf from the lil one, you can see the spotting going up the edges of the leaf. To me this looks like a Ca def, no I do not use Calmag+ at this time as it didnt fit the budget and have not showed signs of needing until now, and would like some other opinions and thoughts as I am so close to being finished should I be worried about it and do a mad dash to try and correct it or just let it ride??

[tinytoon]

page 2 of pics. why can we only post 5 pics per post anyways?? :wtf:

[ForgetClassC]

Man, those are doing awesome. Have you thought about tying the outer most branches onto the outside of the top most circle? Just looks a little cramped, either way, looking amazing.

-C

[tinytoon]

actually they are not as cramped as it looks and plenty of air flow through the plant so no mold worries either :thumbsup:
Have any thoughts on the leaf problem??

[ForgetClassC]

My strawberries had some yellowing leaves around them, threw in some Epsom salt, went away. See if it works, just a dash, like maybe 1 tspn for the whole 5 gallons.

-C

[drudown11]

Yo man Im loving the big old ladies. I have some DWC monsters that are a little bit bigger than yours and they use about 3/4 of a gallon of water per day. I would imagine that your plants are sucking quite a bit too(maybe like a half a gallon or maybe more) Now if I dont add water at a couple of times a day to top it off, the ppm's get way too high and it starts to burn. Its just because the plants are so big and are sucking up some much water and nutrients, ppm and ph can get out of control pretty easily. PPM's are spiking when the res get low, thus overfertalizing for a little bit until you can dilute it.

[khyberkitsune]

These are looking very nice. I love DWC for the ease of operation and the decent yield.

My Krusty Bucket seems to be far outpacing my DWC, though, which is still progressing rapidly but nowhere near the speed of the Krusty bucket.

[CovertCarpenter]

First, Kudos to ya, tinytoon! Healthy looking little girls (gettin' big now!), and should yeild quite a bit of niceness...

Just a thot... have you ever thought about doing SCRoG, or LST? It seems to add a little bit to the veg time, but can improve yield again as well... and the cages you've put around 'em seem to just /beg/ for it...

Keep up the good work!
REP+

(c)C :chainsaw:

[tinytoon]

first of all glad to see some visitors and ty for stopping by to look and add suggestions.

Dru I follow where you are going and what you said makes alot of sense but the worst of plant is the smallest one and it drinks less than the others. I added a lil epsom salt yesterday, 1 tsp per 3 gal, and have Calmag on order.

Covert this was my first DWC grow, have been all E&F till now, and really wanted to see how it went before changing to much. The cages are there because pretty much all of my previous grows the tops kinda fell over during the last couple weeks of growing and wanted to try to help them out a lil bit.

[stra8outtaWeed]

your leaf yellowing could just be a normal yellowing for its age and timeframe of flowering...i added AN's Kushie Kush(where t.f. do they come up with these names) and noticed it eliminated the need for calmag with better npk ratios..0-7-17 for kk and 2-0-0 for calmag...i see you have already ordered Calmag but just something to look at...i'm not an AN fan but i do like a few of their products!

your girls look like they are coming along nicely! :thumbsup:

[tinytoon]

well I said I ordered Calmag but actually it is GH's version. I dont know what the npk values are but most websites have it listed with GH's organics.

[khyberkitsune]

If you want to avoid the need for suport for super-heavy buds, add a teaspoon of silicates to your hydro solution.

Just bear in mind, this stuff makes your stems ROCK HARD. I broke a brand-new pair of scissors trying to hack through a half-inch branch reinfirced with silicates.

[drudown11]

i wish I would have used your tomatoe cage idea. A big plant like that in a filled bucket is heavier than shit, and a complete pain in the ass to move around. (I cant get mine out of the closet) And with the big ole nuggets on them babies the branches just fall over. Its almost like you have SCROG, sort of.

I LST like a mad man so i like the to be a little on the bendy side during veg. But I would assume that if i added it during flower it would have the same results. I cant take my plants out of the closet because theyre so heavy they just fall over when theyre out in the open.

I use the silicate additive right before I start flowering, as that's right about the time I'll cut clones as well. Cut them soft for easy rooting, then add the silicates for stem strength.

[tinytoon]

I thought of using cages when I was doing E&F inside the tent. right around the last 2 weeks everything was kinda falling over do to weight and that was without moving them around :wtf: now they are standing very well and hopefully have problem solved. Quick question though, any of you guys ever do a final flush for more than a week? We have always done just the last week as plain water but was curious about doing 2 weeks since it would force plant to feed off of itself more.

[LOC NAR on probation]

I have gone 2 weeks flush because they needed the time to finish. A strain I was not fimilar with. Turned out real smooth but when compared to the next run they seemed washed out. The potentcy was still there but if you gave someone a choice they picked the 1 week flush everytime.

If you want really smooth smoke it's the way to go.

I don't know what it is with people. If it looks good it sells, if it smells it sells even if the buzz ain't there.

If it's the best buzz and pain killer but looks like labador shit then I get to smoke it all.

[martyrprojekt]

I too do not recommend the 2 week flush...Seriously kills the flavor and strength of the plants. Its like super bloating a chicken to make it appear bigger...and you will lose a ton of weight when they dry...all the extra water.

[khyberkitsune]

I flush for a week in hydro and two in soil.

[tinytoon]

we gonna stick to the 1 week for now but I guess the main reason for asking was to try to get the plant to use up more of it's own resources. No I dont have Clearex yet but plan on getting that also (It's on the shopping list and it will be the GH version). Just seems like at the end of 1 week of plain water there is still an awful lot of green left and I drain and fill Sunday, Wedensday n Friday so it's not like they got fresh plain water :wtf:

[tinytoon]

Well here is a kick right in the nuts first thing in the morning. 2 weeks from cutting and the stash has run out and cant find NOTHING for sale around here. BAH!!!
Guess I gonna have to pull the lil one and throw it into the dryer so we have something to keep us going. Everytime you think shit is going your way ................. :asskick:

Story of my life.

I'm not doing great but hanging in there. Wish I could send you a little to get you by.

Hang in there.

[tinytoon]

Let's see now ........ cut the plant down about 10 am ..........
.......... trimmed and in the dryer by 11 ...............
run to store and do errands .......... back by 1 and eat lunch ................
GF's daughter calls and asks how much we need at about 3 ............
sucess at 330 ..................


actually Loc what has me bent was 1 st DWC run, 1st time using Koolbloom and wanted to see how much of an improvement for yeild/quality and 1st we have a friggin male and then pull a plant for nothing /sigh

I'm tellin ya man we are neighbors hehe :stoned:

Dude...I feel your pain. I delayed this last grow by 2 months...and I got at least 2 weeks left until harvest. I am not breaking into my emergency stash currently...but, I am close. Everyone around here charges wayyyy more than I do...The worst part is that I am probably buying my own bud back from other people...for a higher donation than I charged, of course!:wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: LMAO!

[tinytoon]

just seems funny as hell that if you got plenty of your own peeps are calling ya wanting to know if you need anything and when you do need then nobody within 5 zip codes can help ya out :wtf:

Its funny how much we effect the local market...when we are out, everyone is dry. It speaks volumes to the quality of the medicine we are producing.

[tinytoon]

Alrighty then ..........we ave now come to what I think is the hardest part of the grow, having to wait 2 more weeks before cutting down :giggity:

seriously now as the title says I'm starting week 8 of flower. The Micro, Bloom and Koolbloom all go to half str and next week will go to plain water. Atm I'm running 2.5/0/5 on the 3-part per gal and 5ml pg of Koolbloom. I am so impressed with that Koolbloom!! I do have a question for others who have used it before or are still using. From what I have read you are suppose to start out with KB liquid and finish with the dry form, comments?? All we did this trip was the liquid so wanted some opinions.

Pics of this week are posted and they are getting real close :D

[tinytoon]

couple more pics for ya to include what came of the lil plant after being trimmed.

Btw if anyone has any info on a decent place to get a Handytrimmer or Magictrimmer (pro-cut) from could ya let me know plz. If not sure what one is it is a manually operated trimmer that looks like an overgrown salad mixer. Thats the best description I can do if ya need more than that Google it and there are a ton of videos on YouTube.

[tinytoon]

ok the diy dryer did it's job once again and we ended up with, no laughing plz, 1/2 oz dry. Have higher hopes for the other 3 :D

[LOC NAR on probation]

The other 3 will make it up to ya. Hope that will last a few weeks. I never laugh at smokables especially when they look like that.

They are looking damn awsome.

[ForgetClassC]

Look nice, did you flush btw? Since it was early. Looks like it'll burn in a jiffy and get ya up there. You check the tricomes? Those other ladies are looking nice. Very nice.

-C

[tinytoon]

Forget ....... no there was no flush. was a last minute descion when we couldn't find anything locally. Didn't check trichs till dry (never thought too) but was mostly clear just getting cloudy so 2 weeks should be tits on!! Even though 2 weeks early is very smokable .......... as long as you can get the sticky buds off your dam finger LOL!!! :wtf:

Loc ...... I have had a real shitty 2 days. Have lost 3 of my fish in 2 days (2 of them were Plecos, 1 I had for about 2 years), weather is cold and snow so cant ride my bike, work is getting worst day by day and I'm friggin broke! :mad:
Then I jump on this forum and I see what you wrote and it put a smile on my face :) Thank you kind sir and may all your grass be green .................... until you want to smoke it that is :jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

The suspence sux!! I'm all for bringing them down so I can find out what yeild was ............... but 1 more week yet!!! :wtf:

[StickyBuds1987]

[GetThisOrDie]

Your girls have turned out great looking! I knew they would... Grats on what will be a great harvest.
You got to love it when you bend over backwards for people then when you are the one who needs some green then no one seems to want to answer your calls. Sad world we live in...

All I have here for another 2 months is shwag of the shwagiest sort.

[tinytoon]

Well we made it!! Have ended up pulling a few branches here and there but their weight is being taken also so will have a total dry weight :thumbsup: Stayed tuned as this isnt over yet. Besides posting the pics of Harvest next week and also final weight I will also be unveiling the basement project as that has come out alot better then I had first expected. They are 3 weeks behind these guys. Have a total of 9 pics today so since we can only post 5 at a time there will be 2 posts :wtf:

[tinytoon]

Oh I was also supervised during the final water change

[khyberkitsune]

Holy mother look at that fat cola.

[GetThisOrDie]

Sweet! Great lookin ladies tiny.

Hope my auto dwarfs look like that....yeah right.

Nice looking dogs, ill have to take a picture of mine.

[LOC NAR on probation]

Damn can ya bottle up some of the smell and send it to me. LOL

Those are awsome. It's nice to not worry if you have enough meds.

I didn't want to say anything but your dogs look pretty kicked back. Do they hang out for med time. LOL
Dogs are so loyal.

[GetThisOrDie]

Whats up LOC?

My dog knows as soon as I pull some out!!! She will beg until I either give her some to eat or blow her a shotgun... no joke!

She loves eating hemp seeds as well. Im sure anybody who cares for the herb enough to grow it and has dogs knows what im talking about! I agree that his dogs look baked..

Even my cat is a stoner. He will lick the inside of my bowls clean if I leave them on the table lol.

[metalarclemon]

Those are some beutiful buds bro!!! Great work!

[tinytoon]

Ty for all the kind words and ya never turn fido down if he/she wants some. The Rottie used to eat whatever didnt go into the crusher but has lost enough teeth to where he just inhales as the cloud goes by LOL

[GetThisOrDie]

lol... my dog will literally stick her nose into your mouth when you are exhaling. Dogs are truely mans best friend.

[tinytoon]

I like being close to our dogs also but that might be a lil TO close LOL!! 2 things I dont share, 1 smoke .... can be picky who I share with.
2 my GF ...... she is mine and thats all! :D

Btw post #1000!!!

[GetThisOrDie]

Haha... Everyone should be picky about who they share it with. Its just being smart.

Grats on 1k!

[GetThisOrDie]

Hey tiny... I was just going over this thread and I was looking at the pics of inside your tent. Giving me ideas for my setup. I have some questions for you though.

I see that your cooltube lines run to a different room. Is there a reason you have the intake from another room? Cooler room?

Also that little odorsok with that small fan on the top? I love it... Does it work good? I need odor control for my flower tent and I just cant seem to work something affordable out. I am now in an attached townhome so odor is a serious issue. How many cfm is that fan? The odorsok?

This is how my setup is now but they havent gone into the tent yet so I have time for modifications.

The intake side of my hood is open in the tent pulling in air as well as cooling the tent. It exhausts into my attic. Big 10" inline fan in the attic. Got a big one to use with a speedster but it is wayyyy too loud with the speedster on. Loud buzzing so I figure to just run it full blast. Shouldnt hurt the light.

I like the idea of having that odorsok with its own small fan. So easy... But it needs to work! What do you think?

[tinytoon]

The Odorsok works fine in that tent but downstairs I had to upgrade a little. The fan is just a 12v axial type fan and if I remember right cfm is like 120. The Odorsok is 4x12 and like I said for the 4 plants I have in there I have no smell inside the house from them. Now downstairs is a little different :D
In the Basement we are running 2 seperate 400 cfm vortex type fans both have Organic Charcoal filters on them. 1 is for the lights which during the summer will be vented outside but in winter will just exit into basement for free heat. The other is inside the room exhausting air out. You stand next to an air outlet and it will blow your hat off LOL. Btw I do not bring air in from a seperate room. All ducting that you see is exhaust. I have both my tent and Cab in same room and run 4" duct from both to a Y to vent the light heat outside the house, no smell. Exhasut is just the little fan and an Odorsok for both setups.

[GetThisOrDie]

So then the intake for your hoods are just open to the air OUTSIDE of the tent in the same room? If so thats what im thinking of doing now.

Im getting a tad bit annoyed because I had all this shit planned out but now I am running into some issues lol.

I figure if I use a small fan with an odorsok and vent it directly into the room, and having the intake on the hood outside of the tent but in the same room. It should just be sucking in cool ODORLESS air hopefully! Then up to the crawlspace...

[tinytoon]

thats pretty much the thought I had except outside instead of crawlspace.

[GetThisOrDie]

Cant wait to see pics of your new setup. Also waiting on the trimmed up shots of those thick colas!

[tinytoon]

well couldn't really tell if it was snow or really thick frost out this morning but it was COLD and I wasn't going out to check. I sent the guard dogs out and they did their thing and ran back inside so I take it good thing I not go out .... I not have fur coat ;)
Have a few pics of trimmed up plants but will take few more tonight and start clicking away downstairs. :jointsmile:

[tinytoon]

well dry total is in and ended up with lil over 8oz's out of the 4 plants. Sure as hell isnt close to what some peeps are getting but it's getting better. Next run they will veg longer and hopefully have the cash for the extras. have 2 pics of rootball in a Walmart bag also hehe

[tinytoon]

more pics of drying. Pics of basement are coming and sorry for delay just have not been well lately. Enjoy the pics ;)

[danlboy]

Thanks Tiny Ive enjoyed following your grow. Nice Work Just finished my first ebb and flow and thanks for your help early on in setting it up

[tinytoon]

Np and hopefully all turned out good for ya. Just take every grow as a learning tool because I really doubt if you or anyone else has completely identical grows, there is always something a lil different.

[ForgetClassC]

Nice, haha I have those same glasses(the cup), for future reference, the second line up from the bottom is 2 shots, lol.

Nice harvest.

-C

[AquaponicHerb]
