2ed time growing in DWC.

Hey All,

I'm new to the boards here but have 4 grows under my belt and I'm on #5 with DWC, and it is awesome! All of my grows have been hydro and I'll say that DWC for me is better than ebb+flow or drip irrigation. Gotta make sure that you have a antifungal / root conditioner for the best results. I use Dutch Master's Zone and I am happier than a pig in shit with the results. I've got 3 Blueberry (hybrid) and 2 Black Domina (Indica) growing in a closet with a 400 HPS and it is off da hook! I'm on week 7 in the flowering cycle and less than 2 weeks from harvest time.

I got the DWC idea from Greg Green's book and have made 6-packs (from 10-gal Rubbermaid storage boxes) and individual units (from 3-gal Rubbermaid storage boxes) so I can go from Bonzai moms to clones to an 8-week flower cycle, taking no longer than 12 weeks total including my rooting and vegging time...

Don't wanna trample all over your posts with my own story, just looking to help out. I'll re-read when I get back from the gym and see if I can help you learn from my experiences. I guarantee you'll love the yields from DWC, just make sure you keep your pH right at 5.8 - 6.0 at all times. Check it religiously!

If anybody wants pics just lemme know. I'll try to borrow a dig camera if anyone is interested...

thanks for stoping by mvp.:stoned:

yo hydro, check out the DWC bubblers in case you want ideas - 6-packs for SOG shorties, solo units for the bonzai moms I'm starting... they are totally affordable and easy to put together

DWC 6-pack and solos - Cannabis Photo Gallery

They are made from Rubbermaid storage totes, air pump and stones, square net pots (using a cloth wick), and some fittings.

BTW, great log, I'll keep checking back to see the sweet results! :greenthumb:

wow they all look sweet. good job.

and new pix of my 2 ladies in the next 2-3 days.

now 3 weeks into flowering.

so how do they look now?

Nice crystals you got going there! How long do you plan to flower these babies?

lm gunna wate till there trichs go cloudy and amber.

so probly gunna harvest some time in end of november or the middle of december.
and maybe a little longer for the sativa clone.

oo yah and also they both have drinken a full gallon of water in less than 17 hours.

I fed them yesterday afternoon with some bloom food mixed with a gallon of fresh water and by this afternoon they had drinken all of it.

so I had to add another full gallon of fresh plain water.

so now I g2g smoke one. and its game time. yeah.

just a few cool pix.

Yeah, thirsty girls! My indicas go thru about a gallon a day pretty regularly. Looking good, but the best is yet to come...

Hey brother, you dont have justify or explain your self or your setup.Looks great to me,keep up the good work and keep us posted.Some of the most ingenious setups I have seen on this site and others were by growers who were of limited means and improvised what they could afford or had on hand to get their setup going.Take care,be well,and most of all be safe.

great to see things are going well hydro, keep up the good work bro:thumbsup:

nice work HC quick question tho what the wattage of your lights and how many r using? But keep it up man i just went to 12/12 a week ago so keep your fingers crossed that i get some girls Thanks

thanks for stoping on by my peeps. and I also hope all of UR grows R growing well.

could my buds maybe have got seeded some how?

and if so then does this mean that my buds won't be that good of bud becuz they grew a few seeds?

a few more.
all of these pic was taken yesterday.
it won't be that big of a deal of there R a few seeds.

They could be seeded if they cam e in contact with male pollen, or if they hermied on ya. Not a big deal for quality as long as they didn't seed the entire plant IMO. Looking good so far, yeah DWC does kick ass!

hey hydro, did you add milk to your DWC plants, or do you have soil plants going? I saw that post in the outdoor growing thread with those monster plants outside, and the grower was saying he added milk and you said you tried it with great results..i was curious if you tried it in DWC...i'm running a DWC system and a calcium supplement and other nutrients that milk could provide would be a possible very good additive..lemme know! and reps for the awesome contained DWC grow, very sleek and nifty...i like do it yourself set ups!

looks like gonna be a TASTY holiday season!

nice job!:thumbsup:

hey wsup my cannabizz peeps.

cool up date with great pix.
they R 6 weeks into flowering.

maybe 1 of these days when I get my own place I will buy an HPS light. but for now I'll have to use the CLF lights.

now for da pix.

more pix.
and whatever happends just'll hafta happen.

but she does look better than her mother did when she was 6 weeks in.

and all of that is new bud growth. so I am happy about how they look. :D :jointsmile: :stoned:

Looks like some awfully nice growth. It's gonna be a great xmas for ya!

new pix in a few.

I love micro shots of my buds.

and ok so what! it got a few seeds but I ain't cryin about it. I'll just have to try even harder next time to weed out the hermies and males.

I am gunna finish this grow up maybe around the middle of december.

and I showed my grow to a close close close friend who is a weed snob and he said that even though they got seeded he would still toke on that for sure.

and the buds have a strong sativa smell of fruit.

ok I guess thats it for now. so smoke one for no one.

Hey HC, nice pics! So how do ya get the pics of da girls to turn out nice? I've had a helluva time trying to get them in focus and show the trichs.

I got good camera bro. and thanks for stopin by Toweli.

ok so do the buds look done or even close to being done.

and I found a fat ass shiny brown seed that fell out of 1 of the buds. so would this mean that they R ready for harvest.

and I do see some good bud mixed in with the seeds.

so what do ya think.

harvest time?
i think so

wnyone else think its time yo harvest.
