First Grow Stealth Bubbleponics

[Ray Fox]

Well Ray I read your thread and what I had was a view of your op in time lapse photography.

Watching your op progress and the ladies grew healthier and healthier. You have come along way. Gratz!!!

I have a couple weeks till harvest on a purple kush and my patience is being tested. I am using the Radio Shack $13 scope and it brings the trichs into beautiful focus.

Thanks Orzz, and its great to have you aboard. We checked out your grow and it looks great. Really nice colas getting fuller and fuller. We hope to see the same within the following weeks. Our patience is thinning out but we're just gonna have to wait ... Fuck.

omg i know this is soo hard right now because there is like very minimal good budz in my town right now. people resorting to mids and shit...blehhhh

however, patience is a virtue

That's why I make hash oil out of my leaf/trim. Have it tucked away and only use occasionally. Don't need product these days. Done 5 grows the last year so I'm ahead of my intake! LOL! Hash oil on mids makes mids taste and work better! Use the Roseman blender method with isopropyl alcohol. 10 to 1 ratio of leaf/trim to finish product.

We still make some oil with the extra leaves and what not but it doesn't ever really yield very much. Actually what we did was scrape the finished product into some saran wrap, and press it together into a shape (we did a rectangle). When the resin dries out a bit it turns into a nice little stick of hash. We're making some more oil in a couple days so look for the thread.

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Can't wait. I have trim and leaf from the last grow I want to do something with. I also have a set up to butane the stems to get every last drop of the good stuff. May get a kief box at some point. Anyone have any recommendations?

Haha no, but Roseman does. Roseman's always randomly there just when you need him hahaha.

Hey guys so here's another thing we just realized:

We're using the Dual Spectrum II lights from Stealth which delivers 8500 lumens + 3 regular 60 watt CFLs which deliver a combined 11,520 lumens = a grand total of 20,020 lumens in a tiny box. Wow, that's a shit ton of light for literally only a few feet of growing space!

TWICE what normal sunshine gives.

TWICE what normal sunshine gives.

shit son, i got TOO MUCH LIGHT.

600w HPS for a given two square feet. its output is 90,000 lumens, aka 45,000 lumens per sq ft. i had some light bleaching happen on the two tallest branches of my sativa.

i think its a bit overkill

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Probably not too much light but too much heat. How do you vent that? Wow, 90,000 in 2 square foot! You will get a higher electric bill but the buds will be rocks and covered with trichs like snow in an effort to protect. I'm growing with about 55,000 for a 9 sq ft grow area. May go bigger at some point but the last couple of grows have been above average but I don't do sativas. 4' max plant height in my area.

Hey guys, just thought you should know the plants look great. There's been a bit of rusting on the edges of the leaves, but aside from that the trichomes are growing immensely and we're sort of just sitting back and watching the girls get fat.

Also, question to Roseman: We use nutes with almost each watering. There's going to be a week of flush followed by 3 days in darkness before harvest. But this only depends on the whether the size of the girls and the color of the trichs is right, obviously.

Peculiarly enough, the last plant we germinated, with only a 3 week veg time, flowered at the same time as the others but is developing much slower. Its gonna need at least 3 weeks or so while the others will probably need less time, a full 2 weeks from now at most (We've been saying "two weeks till harvest" basically every week for a month. Ugh. What a plant. But watching it get fat shall be fun.

P.S. More pics soon.

im getting so impatient, i literally almost just said fuck it and started the flush tonight, Lol

 

[MostlyCrazy]

Just remember Motif, you waited this long now finish strong! LOL!

i believe the rusting would be nute burn ray, did you increase your nutes?

 

[Mr.]

I wonder if you grew all 6 plants in the thing if you would have a problem with the plants beeing to close at that size?

Yes Mr., our 3 White Ice plants are already overgrowing the system. But this is only in a scrog, In some scrogs (godbless Watercooled), one plant can easily overgrow an entire system. No, even in a good SOG, a max of 4 plants is most likely all that will fit.

i believe the rusting would be nute burn ray, did you increase your nutes?

No, we did not increase our nutes, in fact we lowered them. But there were some possible contributing factors.

1). Temps are usually on the hot side at a 80 degrees farenheit. Today the thermometer read 82. So we cranked up the fan and let it rip. Which also leads us to factor two.

2). Humidity. Too much humid. Cranked up fan, left door open to let in fresh air.

3). Nutes (So we suppose...) could be the cause of some of the burn. So we did a straight flush, with the fan blowing intensely on the reservoir and through the bottom of the net into the upper brush.

Some pics coming soon. We tried to take some today but there was no battery to be found. We're gonna try to put up another batch asap.

Also, we took off a small bud off of one of the larger bud branches who's trichs are 20% amber , 40% milky and 20% clear. We should be looking to chop each of these at different times which sucks. But we'll weigh out each and give a final dry weight count to see how this adds up.

And notes on the nug we cut:

As it dries its smell gets more potent. It is very sweet smelling, with a lemony tang. Hope its good!

On their website it says:

Keeping Size in Perspective
This system was not designed to grow six 6-foot tall Christmas Trees. (Although we have grown 3 plants, 3, 4 and 5 feet tall in one tank.) We have heard a few growers tell us "I just realized that the 6 plants are going to get very crowded after they get 3 or 4 feet tall". This system was not designed for 6 giant plants. It is called a STARTER KIT OR STARTER SYSTEM. There is a reason that the tank is 21 and a half inches long. When this system was originally designed, many factors went into deciding what size tank and pumps to use. The main factors were economy, (LOW PRICE) simplicity, stealthness, and making sure the tank would fit into the end of a small closet, out of the way and out of sight. We've heard of a few growers that try to change to a much larger tank, and realize how much more work and trouble is involved in using a larger tank and moving larger quantities of water. Draining and replenishing the water can be a major task in a much larger tank. Not only are more larger and expensive air and water pumps needed for a larger tank, but larger pumps make more noise. Draining and cleaning a larger tank is a ton of work and trouble too. If you want to go with a bigger system, then connect two tanks together. And if you want to grow large plants, then start them in the Bubbleponics System, then transfer them into the Bucketeer Large Bucket DWC system. Or do like most growers do and just grow 2 or 3 large plants in one tank by selecting and keeping the more desirable three plants and disposing of the other three.


Seven times, I started 6 seed in the kit, and everytime I got 3 females and 3 males, with 3 plants left in the tank, AFTER Vegging and starting 12/12. My largest plant so far was 42 inches tall, gave me 7 ounces of dried manicured buds. In the same tank, same grow, I had a runt give me 1-1/2 ounce and the middle average plant gave me 3 ounces.
Here are some pics:
