Racerx's G13 3000watt recirculating DWC grow

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I thought it might never happen, but we actually had a flood 1.5 weeks before harvest. I decided to come home early to find water coming out of our room. Bad bad bad. 15 towels later and I finally had to go procure a wet/dry vac to suck up the rest. Good lesson, I think I will put the flood alarms back LOL! Essentially one of the plants grew way into the line despite the screen, and then when I went to clear them out, I dislodged something into the line. One line of buckets hadnt been draining well for awhile. It finally plugged and bubbled out about 15 gallons of water, some of it making its way eventually onto my carpet despite the plastic. But it was taken care of. We had a tiny bit of powdery mildew come out in the end in the small lower bud area in the corners, none of it affecting the upper buds.

We flushed them for about a week, 4 days with water and 3 days with Flora Kleen. I usually dont go that long but so it happened. It is especially dense because of what I believe is the CO2. I cut some down a week ago and dried it and the smoke way ok condsidering it had not been flushed yet at that point. Its a fruit/watermelon taste, but while the bud is pretty good so far...the hash is absolutely fantastic. It tastes exactly like watermelon candy and is some of the best yet. Bubbles like crazy.

As far as a light mover, we decided to move over to vertical lighting instead. I believe this burning is from the reflector and the reflection of the light, and not the light from the bulb directly. If it still ends up being a problem, we will downgrade to 600s and use an extra one. I am happy either way, but we wont be using any aircooling, just A/C.

after just looking at this thread , you have just become my newly found god .
its a must i read this thread . its just what im looking for .
thanks for the motivation...

Well, here we have some more final shots. Everything turned out really well, better then expected. After some curing, it is amazing. A wonderful blueberry smell and taste with a devastating high. Exceptionally dense. The hash is out of this world, with huge trichromes. The 90 and 73 bag really caught em good. Full full melt.

The NYCD is almost done. She is going great, on 8 weeks. Trichromes cloudy, no amber yet but were moving soon so itll get cut so we have time to cure it before leaving. The 1st pic is the G13, the rest is the NYCD.

im looking forward to seeing what your total yield is going to be

I yielded over 4 pounds of prime stuff from the G13. A lot of trimmings too. I expect to get 1.5-2 pounds from the NYCD closet, since its a lower yielding strain.

damn dude
i love your grows they never seize to amaze me
keep up the good work :thumbsup:

good english grower

Looks great man. Too bad about the flood.. at least you got it controlled somewhat. I am trying to move into a house where I can do my project in the garage... eliminates the worries about water so much when the water will just go down the drain =) Just did diesel not too long ago, came out real nice... I took em down at day 67 because I like a more uppity high. BOL

Our area Razzy has some really famous Sour Diesel circulating, I wonder if what you had was the same as what my friends have been growing lately. I personally have always liked New York City Diesel better then Sour, its always looked a little better to me and I enjoy the high a little more.

The flood was definitely fun. We had some flood alarms too, I just moved them for some reason and never put them back. They call my cell phone when there is a flood. The room is all taken down and back to a regular bedroom and we have no mold/mildew which is great considering how wet the carpet got.

Our new place has a nice big 2.5 car garage with 2 different drainages so we are definitely happy with that. Had I not come back until the next day when I was supposed to, and my plants would have been high and dry for 24 hours and my carpet would have 100 gallons of water in it.

I am thinking about using 20 gallon containers for the next DWC grow, mainly because these 5 gallon containers are just not big enough for trees. With more then 3 weeks of veg, the root growth is so massive it just stops drainage almost. With a 20 gallon container and far less plants, I think not only will we not have a risk of floods...welll have even better yields.

Yep, I'm from Santa Cruz as well - lots of good SD avail around here lately. I am moving and highly considering doing a Hydro Set up. I was thinking NFT actually... do you have any experience with that? I'm pretty new to growing, only a few cycles in, but that method seems real good. Or maybe just a flood and water as that may be the simpler version of hydro. I use SunShine#4 right now, but it seems hydro pellets would probably get dry quicker which means they could uptake more nutes ya know?
