DWC Bubbleponics with top feed 6 plant!

You have a nice little bathroom set up. The grow is looking great, but it looks a little awkward, the way it's set up with the res in the bath tub. You could yield much more from a small space in the future. You could just use the bathtub as a reservoir. To lightproof, what you need to do is make a hinge/cover for it, which won't be very difficult since you already have three walls surrounding it. Then you could use those 3 walls to make this grow vertical. You'll yield much more from a smaller amount of space. Imagine all the baby plants covered in bud. It'd be like a Sea of Green as they say.

I have another space but i didnt have the funds or enough time to ventilate it properly, my temps would be 100+. As for using the bathtub as a res, i dont want to stain the tub with nutes. This setup was perfect for the time constraints, as for the vertical grow i would have to use a cooltube in order to direct the light vertically to the 3 sides. If i end up using this space again, i will use a RDWC with 3-5 gal buckets for better spacing and scrog it.

You aren't going through a router? And youtube's not going to give your info away like that.. You'd have to be priority #1, and us home growers just aren't.

But I understand the paranoia, I have a "disclaimer" on my youtube channel.

The roots showing signs of nutrient build up, i rinsed with some top off water. We will see what they look like tomorrow.

Your nugs are looking good.. but I'd throw some h202 in there.. just a tiny bit..

 

[mastiffkush]

I think im gonna start flush tomorrow for 2 weeks, any suggestions?

How long have they been flowering? Sativa's like that usually flower for a long time.. Like 12+ weeks. Don't start flush yet man!

My last sativa flowered for 13 weeks -.0

Im going to pick up a 100x tomorrow and check my trichs, some of the buds are getting to about 20% orange...i thought that they might be ready in 2 weeks that would put them at 6 weeks flower.

Very nice Mastiff. That's 6 girls flowering there? How big is your area? 400w for all six plants? And all, everything looking awesome! rep+

It started with 7 plants and 6 net pots, i doubled up one pot with 2...Now im down to 3 that are flowering, but its all good, it would be way to crowded if they were all to of lasted! Only the strong survive! I currently have my setup in a spare bathroom standard size tub, works out great because i have the built in ventilation water source right there, i got a hose attachment to fill buckets, easier for top off.

Today i removed two of the problematic bitches, they had mold starting to show on the root bundle, when i got them out of the net pot one had completely rotted at the bottom of the rockwool.

I did a res change and cleaned with 3% H202 and added about 1/4 C to the res with nutes to top off at 1600 PPM with 300mL of Flora Nova Bloom and 100 mL of Liquid Kool Bloom pH is at a steady 5.8

I don't think that the little ones are going to make it...worried about this one, im not sure how i will remove these if they die because their root mass is so much larger and tangled than the others that i removed already. After the res change they have shown some signs of stress with drooping leaves and a little curl under, it may be from the H202 i diluted 3% and sprayed the roots directly to get them clean. Any advice on how to save the remaining two from the front right in the pictures above?

 

[mastiffkush]

Anyone had this issue before with plants that will not survive in a multi-plant bubbleponics? I need to keep the 2 in the front alive long enough until harvest so they dont contaminate the larger ones....Any input would be appreciated!

Here are some pics of the bud sites on the 2 larger ones with a couple problematic leaves and the root bundles.

The main cola has turned into a beast...im thinking i might push over a 2 liter bottle when its done...

Someone please comment on how i can keep the 2 weak ones alive for a few more weeks!!!

Pray? I dunno man.. try to keep everything else proper and I wouldn't try to pull/cut out any roots.. if you do only pull gently.. yeah

Next time do single rez per plant.

I have done a larger RDWC before and loved it, i just dont have the space right now so i wanted to give this one a shot, i have seen the same setup with great results...Im not to impressed with this one though, because of the roots being tangled.

 

[VoidObject]

RDWC is way different then multi plant per rez.. You can do RDWC single plant rez systems with just as good results as DWC if you know what you're doing. More maintenance of course.. But still there's more than just one reason why we don't put multiple plants in one container.
