White Berry Hydro Grow

[email468]

plant 2 has so many bud sites already! i like it alot! you've def. turned things around e, everything seems like its on the right track now. keep it up man, i cant wait to see white berry in its glory in a few weeks!!!!

It was accidentally topped - but at least i'll see if topping helps or hurts the white berry.

Nice job man! looks like everything is under control. I can't get over how fast you make those things grow. luv it.!!!!!!

Yes - they shoot right up - i love hydro - though i'm thinking I should at least try a soil grow.

Looken good email, looks like you got everything under control.

Finally G-Man - it took a few weeks - i thought the plants were goners there for awhile! - they are stunted but looking quite beautiful again.

I love how detailed you are email! I am new hydro grower and an learning alot from yours! my one plant is growing so much faster in hydro campared to one in soil i have growing also. gona do the rest of my grows in hydro for sure!

I'm glad you're finding it useful. I have two other journals similar to this one if you are interested (in sig). you can also ask questions in this journal or PM me.

Hey email, just checking your grow. Looks great and I'm glad your journal is still going.

That chiller is ace. It's going to make all your future grows so much more predictable. Looking forward to the finish of this.

always good to see you shnkrmn! absolutely agree about the chiller. predictability is a great thing when it comes to grow room climate! i never had the temp problems with my bubbler as it was in a climate controlled area but this new box was great in the winter but the summer just fries the plants (or at they did fry) before the chiller and AC combo.

thanks - they are looking pretty sweet i don't mind saying

the water pump circulated the reservoir water through the chiller so the res temps stays at around 68 F (or whatever i set it for). it works so well!

so glad i got one!

that's my trellis. i'll train them along it if necessary so they don't grow into my lights.

it's hard to believe these pics are the same plant!

Lol For Sure.... Its Looking Like Yur Plate Is Throw~up Cannabis Plant At An Alarming Rate.... Quick Get A Tissue.!!! Ummm! "questioned" !~

the only rap i know starts with "standing on the corner with a joint in my hand" - i was always more of a punk rocker but now i'm just an old fuddy-duddy.

good luck on matching this speed - even with the heat problems - hydro plus a fast flowering strain= hard to beat time-wise!

the info about white berry says single cola dominance which i took to mean you shouldn't top. and i wasn't planning on topping but am very glad i get to see the experiment made anyway.

for the record - i usually top since i have limited vertical space.

i can kinda picture them too!

See E'.... U Dont Even Have Nugs Up Yet And The Jd' Is Prime!ing His Sub Pump!!! Lol... More More More "how's Nutt~e'?"
Im Getting Hungry...lol!!! Bunny Not Very Filling! Lmao! On The Q' No She Didn't! Lol

how much difference would u say the chiller added? i noticed ur water in the reservoir was around 76 which is where mine is right now.. i pump water out of a well so when i change water i can get it down to 71 or 72 but just curious how the plants responded with the cooler water.

The problem with the higher reservoir temps (they went past 80 on occasion) is how it messed with my pH. the weirdly fluctuating pH caused nutrient deficiencies which would have killed my plants eventually.

so in my opinion, the chiller made the difference between life and death for them.

isn't there a joke featuring gomer pyle - the punchline is ... surprise, surprise - that ain't my finger either!

Nutty is amused.

my apologies if this was earlier in your thread but how much was the ph fluctuating? if my reservoir gets over 80 i either add more water and rebalance ph or just give it all fresh water and re-nute. 3rd grow but first real hydro grow so still learning.

when the temps were over 75 F i had a hard time getting an accurate reading. i would check it and it would 4.5 - i'd add a drop of pH up and it would soar to past 7. once i stabilized the temps - i was able to adjust my pH normally. perhaps my meter is sensitive to temp changes or something.

are growing in hydro now with reservoir temps over 80 F? Or is that just your plan? i'm asking cause it only took about two weeks for the high res temps to really do some major damage to my plants. I tried freezing blocks of water (about 1/2 gallon at a time) and dumping the ice chunks in there twice a day - but that did not help.
