Rock on, Weedyhound.
Your plants are great, and your logs are fun and informative.
I still look at that old thread sometimes where you answered my very first question about growing......:) :thumbsup:
What thread is that?
This one....http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...t-control.html
Stinkster was right on it with the answers from the very beginning for me. :) :thumbsup:
well the two of you have given us more help than anyone...gladly too!! didnt even make me feel like i was irritating by asking..thanks to both of ya stinks and WH:computerlove1:

OMG I remember that thread with the glowing condoms!!! Banter right from the start! Haha what a riot.
glowing condoms eh?....leaving that alone......lol
WT
I've gone back to my old complicated, EXTREMELY intricate way of doing things which is thumbtack the branches to the wall.....the lazy's person's lst, lol.
I'm keeping a VERY careful eye on this girl and won't hesitate to crack open that red bucket if she starts looking off in any way. So far no problems and she's getting pretty huge.

Im on day 30 bloom....that looks like an awesome sample of WW...good genes...Im sure the grower has alot to do with it too:jointsmile:

I just moved her into a "super-bucket" yesterday and she's seems to like it so far.
Yowza! That's a beauty.
How is it a big deal for a 15 gallon pot in hydroponics? Will it fill up with roots?
Shov
Liking the super buckets. Who'da thunk that DWC plants like to be transplanted too? lol!
transplanting DWC is a great idea WH!...is the redwood you WW? or is it DD?

Thanks Stinkster.....hey.....you mentioned Toxic Lemon. I think I saw an ad for that somewhere. What's the buzz like.....you seemed to be quite fond of that one.
Hey Shov,
It's just kind of unusual to keep a plant in that large a bucket...5 gallon buckets are considered pretty big homes in hydro. ;) I've had problems with plants in smaller buckets getting rootbound and root diseases etc so am testing out "larger space" to see if it will help those issues. :)
My experience is that the right strain loves the 10-gallon tubs since the 5-gallon buckets get too jam packed with roots...
Mr Hound and I noticed last night that the very tops of the WW were starting to droop juuust a touch so we made a new nute solution with way less CalMag and put the plant in that overnite. This morning the problem was worse and looking VERY suspiciously like the same root issue we came up against with the PP.
So same deal.......reduced ppms and nitrogen level and she still looked worse this am so we broke open the bucket and flushed everything with H202/ph'd water...8 gallons worth. Then I sat and broke up the rootball as gently as I could. At one point I thought I felt an airline tangled up in everything but it turned out to be just one big root. I could feel one section in particular that was REALLY bottlenecked and managed to get that untwisted and flushed at least. We put her back in low nutes AND fresh H202 in her res and keep our fingers crossed.
ROOOOOOOTSSSS!!!!!
TWO out of THREE SO FAR and the third is still up for consideration.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
:woohoo: :woohoo:
This is very strange...the WW seems to stretch just like the PP did, before it...you know...
i hope this one will survive...gonna keep my fingers crossed...
Nice work whit those clones....this is a big success....:thumbsup:
Nice job there Hound, how many days have these girls been cut and enjoying your TLC? Looking good.....Quote:

Thanks guys I was THRILLED!! I've transplanted the first one into soil....we shall see.
Zeb there was one main section that was REALLY tangled and corkscrewed together that I felt was the "ROOT" of the problem....(thank you, thank you....:D) and managed to untwist that pretty much and alot of the smaller stuff too. We'll just have to wait and see in the morning how much good I did to the roots vs how much damage I caused.......:cool:
MVP....hate to tell you but I'm honestly not sure but I think about 3 weeks.....I had so many going thru the rotating clone death march that I honestly stopped keeping count and noting days etc.....
hey WH, what about sticking a bubble line right into the center of the root mass, to keep pumpin O2 deep into the middle of it all.
gotta help, no?
I think I got it mostly untangled Rock but that was something I considered carefully. I have two 10 inch airstones directly under the mass and I loosened things up a pretty fair amount I felt.......I could literally feel air bubbles coming up through the root mass after untangling for awhile and while I did lose some smaller roots I really don't feel I lost anything major rootwise and really think I got everything loosened up, flushed through with some H202 water and improved circulation to everything by about 50-60%. I spent quite a while at it.
Tip: Untangling the roots was much easier and less damaging overall when done while the roots were underwater and floating around......and the airstones helped as well. ;)
good to hear, it sounds like a positive recovery.
i guess as long as its loose and everythings moving u should b cool. i doubt losin a few lil roots will hurt much, especially considering the recent quantity of them.
good goin:thumbsup:
So, you have broken up the red bucket, took the WW out, and put her in the netpot??
Hey Zeb,
You must work out alot in the sunshine from looking at your photo there. :D
We cracked the bucket open but didn't take the plant out of it because it's the only thing holding all the medium together. I'll get a pic of the roots later today but here's a few photos of how she looks today. Some branches came back nicely but a few in the back stayed the same........BUT got NO WORSE so I think we've stopped the progression.......for now anyway.
sounds good WH....strange to have the same problem again with a different strain...but you got it handled:thumbsup:

Well the continuing thread here Stealth is those damn red buckets and these two plants are the last time we'll be using them so hopefully we won't be having the problem at all in the future.
Here's a photo of the roots now.....thinned, stretched out somewhat and rinsed off gently with H202 and RO water.
Can only HOPE I've got it handled...:wtf:
lemme see if its safe to post here and not get attacked...lol, i think you should definitely change the buckets. first time using them? we have 3 types of pots, and one type drains out REALLY slow, we had to put more holes in the bottom from lack of o2..but alas, its a dro issue so i may not be right...lol hope they do pull through...i am still amazed at how you get so full plants with so many tops? I'll put a pic up on my thread tomorrow of the one i tried to grow like yours...lol, even called her WH!!...heh
:smokebong:

Wow!!!
Hey WH are you going to cut back the roots @ all?
Hi GL, thanks for stopping by the thread. This plant has about 3 and 1/2 weeks until finish so I'm going to try to limp her through without cutting anything. Peroxide will be a constant part of her regimen until the end although I usually use Cannazym and it does a pretty good job of "keeping the root population down". This plant and one other (a whiteberry) are the last two plant's I'll be flowering in these HORRID red buckets thank god. I've switched to 8 inch net pots for future grows. ;)
Hey WH looking good Bud:thumbsup:. What do you think you will yield off that one monster will be. She looks like she has about 8 tops FIM:D:thumbsup:...:thumbsup: Can't wait to see the harvest. What exactly will you use the peroxcide to do?
I found this site If you get a chance check them out I just orderd 10 net pots $3.80 each

Well good luck with the grow keep up the good work looks great.
