dude nice grow there crispi. I had no idea you could get that big of plants out of a bubbler system, but then again you must have a 1000 watt light or something? That looks great man are you running something similar to what I have? by the looks of it I would say yes but just curious how much the same they are so I can kind of know what to expect. You're making me want to get a 600w now. :stoned:
Stunning!
You are ALMOST making me want to play in the water ... :D
Hell yeah... Those are big healthy plants. How long do you vegetate? And what kind of nutrients do you use. Do you stagger your harvest or just have a big one every 2 months? NLxNev. Haze... you are in for a treat;)
Weedhound - Are you having to hold them up already or is that the proactive approach for when.....? = One of the 3 dirt plants behind these 2 already had a branch bend / topple from weight so we tied these up before there were any such problems . No clones yet - been to busy / lazy . :smokebong:
Deft - Our systems are the same except we just ran a 2nd airline right down the pump coloum w/ the 2 other existing tubes to power the airstone . These aren't that big believe it or not , My mentors back in the days of Overgrow = Krusty - BOG - and SoQuick could get up to 3 lbs. or more per bucket w/ just DWC no drip . They have much more headroom and light than I though , they topped more than once too . Search for "Crispis' growings ons" for more info on my set-up , 2000w btw. Never ever done a complete grow log , just a cpl. pics. every now and then . :)
Stinky- I got a spare bucket ? I won't tell , honest . :D
Earthly Dank - I don't keep track of veg. time ? They get topped once at 14-16 in tall , given 7-14 days to recover and push out all the new tops and then flip them . Nutes are G/H 3 Pt. using Latewoods recipe + cal/mag , cpl. drops of superthrive , and Koolbloom from the 4th-8th week of flower .
No staggered harvest , can only afford and keep up w/ 1 room . I usually do 4 at a time - takes about 5 mos. start to finish - last 4 yielded 3 lbs. on the money . Do it twice a yr. and have between 6-8 lbs. of killer , never ever ever smoke regs again . :D
Peace all

They're looking damn fine man! The colas are so long - cant wait to see those juicy budz fatten up and drip resin lol. Damn bushy plants n all - i like my plants bushy - well, im used to it with growing mainly indicas. Keep the updates going man, i cant wait to see the harvest.
yeah, what Lip said!! :D
Fantastical...

Come out to Calif Skink.....:greenthumb:
Update at almost 6 weeks ,
1st pic is my fav. cola so far of all the Snl. x Nev. Haze - starting to fatten up a lil now .
Hid behind the 2 hydro plants are a cpl. dirt plants that came from extra germd beans . 2 are Snl. x Nev. Haze and the 1 really pretty oddball is The Church .
Getting a lil better w/ the camera , working on overexposure probs w/ real close pics. so we can get some trich / macro pics. in the future .
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
jesus christ crispi!!!!
how the hell do you do it crispi? i aspire to plants like those!
holy shit dude, looks like the hydro is becoming a monster, those colas are huge...dirt ones aren't looking too bad either bro..:thumbsup:
Ditto. Those are some monsters! RAWR! lol, all I can really say is damn because I really don't know what else to say. Just amazing big beasts. I can't wait to see what the harvest looks like :stoned:Quote:

NICE BUDS!
Hey folks ,
Ran into problems w/ recirculation about 4 days ago . The root systems are just as huge and crazy as the buds . Roots have been pluggig up the inlet and outlet to the 2 buckets allowing the control/pump bucket to run dry = burnt up pumps . We used drain fittings w/ screens / strainers from flood tables to prevent this from happening anymore .
Plants are almost in the 7th. week of flower now and really packin on the weight , have had to do lots of tying up and supporting of huge budded branches and colas . More pics. tonight after lights are on .
Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
Excellent plants and pics ... good work ... :thumbsup:
He's got the green thumb for sure...:thumbsup: Thing is his green thumb is covered with trichomes :D
Well just got my new camera....X-C where's your cameras for dummies book?
I believe class starts at 6pm your time . Catch Markass on I.M.Quote:

Thanks for the posts and keepin an eye on the goings ons . Duntz , Markass , Weedhound , Shovl. Hndl., Celest , Orangeman - and even kind words from the Reaper too , that's a feather in my cap . Been seeing your fine works for a long time here , O.G , T/Y , I/C Mag. etc... Only been at it about 1/2 as long as yourself but I'm catching on . :thumbsup:
Here's a pic. of what I used to solve the clogging probs. and how they're installed - but inside one of my guinea pig buckets for ref. only .
More plant pics. in the next post .
Crispi :jointsmile:
Here's some pics. at week 7 .
They're fattening up nics and really getting frosty . Finally gettin a lil better w/ the camera and close / macro pics. Peace guys

hey do U have a pic of the 2 front plants in 1 shot.
cuz that would be cool to see them both in 1 shot.
A lil update ,
Nute chg. and flush today . Refilld the system and backed off the nutes a lil . Getting a lil burning on leaf tips at 1800 ppm. were back down to 1500ppm now n see how they do .
Damn those are sweet......:thumbsup:
Gosh darnit Crispi, you're my hero! :hippy:
xc, i think i'm going to need your help... i'm going to set up a recirculating system like we talked about, and i have no idea how to do it, or what parts i need, or where to get those plugs (like in the pic up above)....
i'd realy appreciate it if you could get me ironed out....
love, lestie
I'll send you the pump and all the plumbing for a controler bucket itself , all you'll need is a dark colored 5 gal. pail and a 7/8 in wood boring / spade bit and the black hose . I get it at homedepot for cheap . Gotta run , I'll holler later on I.M and won't flake on ya this time .lol . It was my birthday saturday - and I was HIGH to say the least . :DQuote:

Here's some good reading from our pal Ed .
I never tried it before but have been using it for the past 10-14 days . w/ no adverse effects , it stays mixed up well too unlike molasses . We'll see if it makes any dif. in taste / density .
