Super Small G-13 DWC

for valentines day....how special! :smokin:

nice little set up....i once used those same coffee containers to veg in...you'll get some good root mass in there! :thumbsup:

:jointsmile:

good work!

Indeed this things roots are insane, taking in so much water now, I top off the res about every other day with just water. My water is straight neutral, and the nutrients make the water a bit acidic, I have yet to actually test it with a kit, but seeing as she has yet to do anything negative, and the water starts at 7 and can only go down so much, I am not too worried about her and the pH. If anything starts to happen shes gonna get some severe attention.

ForgetClassC Reviewed by ForgetClassC on 02-15-2010. Super Small G-13 DWC Well, I've been bored, so here it is............ I have started a very small (< 1/2 gal.) DWC. I started a hopefully female G-13 seed in a 1.5" rockwool cube. It is in a 3" net pot with hydroton. The nutes are General Hydroponics Maxi-Series. It breached the service on the 21st so that's when I decided to say that it started. Once the little one develops more roots I will be transplanting it into a hempy system. Don't ask why the transplant from one system to the next, I have no idea, Rating: 5

you are going to do well with her....maybe look for a size bigger for flowering...maybe plastic shoe box container or file box would fit in your stealthy cabinet:jointsmile:

Thanks, this will be my second harvest ever so I'm pretty stooked for it to be some hydro and some nice strain. Looking to get about an oz. that would be awesome.

its very possible...thanks for the rep....not hijacking your thread but since we don't have PM's here you mentioned eye protection from the blue light...i was wondering about that....any suggestions other than sunglasses in the grow room

and quite possible to get on oz off your little girl...i'm going to follow your thread...i like ingenuity in our craft!:thumbsup:

For the plant:

Yeah I'm thinking an oz is very possible from this little girl, got a half off of my last harvest and it was in shitty soil and from bagseed, should turn out better this time.


For the glasses:

Just as dark as possible, and possibly orange if you can, the color of the glasses will correspond with the wavelength and should cancel out as much harmful light as possible, orange because it is the opposite of blue and will change it the most.

OK, so honestly I don't know what she is doing. So far no more progress in terms of flowering. I'm going to give her another 36 hours of darkness just to see if it gets her back into the swing of things. And if she hermies than oh well, then I get a whole bunch of nice seeds with some buds around them, lol. Either way, this is just giving me something to do. Will take pictures tomorrow when I turn lights back on. Going to be looking for maybe some larger lights; running 3 23w 2700k, kicking out 1600 each, giving 4800 lumens total and then seeing that I'm going in a 10"x10" so it works out to be about 6912 lumens/square foot. Looking to get something like 3 30w 2700k that put out 2000 each giving 6000 total making it work out to about 8640 lumens/square foot. Should be nice if I can find them.

thanks for the tip....you'll do good with her...i'll be following your progress here...top notch! :thumbsup:

Update at day 27. Pistols are showing up everywhere. I guess I should say pairs of pistols are popping out everywhere(I tried to think of more 'P' words I could use, but I have failed). She was getting quite bushy and blocking some light to her lower parts, so I decided it was time for a trim. Cut back about 8 leaves, only from the lower parts of her, and as well as the leaves the growth spots of those nodes. Going to be giving her her second week of flowering nutes tonight or tomorrow, probably tonight(no night classes today, woot). She has been taking in about 24 fl.oz. of fluids a day, which is intense by my standards. Check out that roots mass, sorry for shitty lighting but hey, its a root mass. Well, I'll take pics next time I think I haven't taken pics in awhile, but I'll definitely be here.

**P.S.**

No problem with the tip, just a tip of the trade.

nice trim and fat leaves...she looks healthy...i think you need to find a little bigger container or trim the roots....those look great also!:thumbsup: :jointsmile:

[ForgetClassC]

Yeah I was thinking that, about the trimming at least, Dont think I can fit anything larger in the box, Ill keep looking, but I don't know if it will be as easy as with the size container I have now. For the trimmer, does that do anything to the plant? I would imagine if it were soil it would, but seeing as hydro just takes in water constantly, would having a small amount of roots less do anything? Thanks for any input you have.

BTW checked out your albums, nice grow house man, shits legit.
