First grow Recirculating DWC

Wow, that's trippy. I will absorb all string into my body.

Thanks for sharing that info. I didn't know that stuff. That explains a lot for you. 140 days? Holy crap, I hope it's worth it. And do you mean 10 or 11 hours of lights on?

It is trippy! Its kind of like a tree thats trunk has grown halfway through a fence

I hope its worth it the time too, heh. Yea, when i said 10/14 i meant 10 on, 14 off. Seems crazy, but I bet it'll do the trick.

Okay well...

I have a some indica females that can't wait to be flowered, they are getting too big. I figure this plant wouldn't even be "finished" until the new set of girls would be done, since its supposed to flower for 120+ days.

So. I chopped it down, and started to harvest. Smells good, like bubblegum. Tiny trichrome production, slightly sticky I have no idea what it will amount to, these buds are about as small as you can get without being non-existent, but there is a ton of them

Today was day 57 flower, making this plant aprox 4 months old in total

I wish i had enough room to keep this plant flowering, I'm sure it would be worth it if it could flower for another two months

heres the plant matter before manicure. I've got a lot of work to do snipping at a million popcorn buds

I know we all share the love here, but in the interest of improvement, that really doesn't look that good. There some stuff in your config that needs to be changed.

What light are you using for flower? How long and what size is your stuff getting to in veg? What nutes are you using?

Even if you get mad and don't want to answer me, on your next grow prune off all your popcorn shit as soon as it appears. Force your plant to concentrate it's energy on much larger buds.

Its because its a tropical sativa. Low feed, max 500ppm, and very poor genetics. I learned this very late in the grow. Believe it or not, I did snip all the lower branches on the plant underneath the screen. Pictures cannot illustrate how massive this plant was. If you look at tropical sativa's about day 60 in flower (search on google) they aren't that much bigger (but mine still can't even compare!).

Its a 250 watt hps by the way, with a lot of flourescent lighting added. Nutrient shelf consists of GH maxigrow, GH maxibloom, liquid karma, superthrive, hydroguard, kool bloom, and cal-mag+


I overdosed her on N, during the beginning stages of flowering which decreased the yield as well, had to buy a 0-10-10 nutrient solution to be able to feed her max 500ppm with mostly P and K and no N

also, i was needing to change my lights to 10 hours on, 14 hours off as needed by the breed, I learned that too late as well

If i was ever going to grow a tropical sativa again, which i'm definitely not :P then i know a little bit more about them and would probably get a little better results, but i am NOT going to wait 120+ days! no way!

If you could think of any way to improve my setup (besides the obvious things like upgrading my 250w) PLEASE! I love to constantly tinker and improve

That's too bad all that suckie mojo was happening. It would have been nice to see what she could really do.

Dried in just 72 hours because they are so small
