Hi guys, I'm back from over a year-long hiatus from posting on riu. After the two 6-plant set up indoor grows with FF products (please check out my signature) and my first outdoor grow with five 10-gal pot outdoor grow AND much research and the resulting obsession with healthy living...

Today, I set up my first DWC bucket system (3 gal) and transplanted two plants from soil to DWC. Depending on how they do, I may add two more buckets. Till then, I will report the side-by-side comparison between DWC and soil. For nutes, I'm using SensiGrow A & B by AN. I visited and called...

I find myself looking into DWC... Maybe I should try two buckets?

Hello mello! I'm back!!

Hey fellow RIU community! Two months after the bountiful harvest of my first grow, it's time for my second grow! If you haven't visited my first grow journal, check it out here. Last time I had total of six plants (3 Purple Kush and 3 Dream Star) under 8 x 4' T5 (432W) for Veg and a 400W...

Beautiful job!!

Ah! Awesome. I see your point. That's why I chose soil for my first grow. I just dumped the soil out of the pots today and examined before it went to dumpster. The root system was much smaller than I thought. Absolutely no roots touching the bottom or sidewalls of the 5 gal square pot...

Hey kev, have you done coco? Why do you choose soil over other medium?

That'd be an interesting project. I'll hide the jar when I'm really stoned so I can't find it till years later.

Oh wow. I do love Ambien... Maybe I should set an ounce of buds aside in a smaller jar with the Humidipak and let it cure and age to perfection.

Thanks, kev! My head is filled with so many ideas and possibilities for my second grow while these buds deepen the flavor and aroma in those jars... It's amazing how it's better every day.

Dunno.... After I said it, I've been reading a lot about hydro/bubble/DWC/aero, etc... Much appreciated if any of you throw out your inputs on hydro in context of using the small space (2'x4') as efficiently as possible? Does it yield better than soil/coco per sq ft, in weight, density...

Thanks, man. I'd probably use coco/perlite if not hydro. I'll use exactly the same lighting system (T5 + HPS) and possibly the same line of nutes (Fox Farm), although I really don't think CoolTube should be used again. I should look into other air-cooled light fixture. I'd love to try air...

Heheh, no prob. It does look like one of those silica gel packs... Every time I open the jar, especially the Purple Kush smells AMMMMAZING!

Thanks, man. I think it will go down by a few more % as the moisture level goes down a little lower and I test smoke some more... Heheh.

My case 416/1906*100=21.8% I'm quite happy with the number as a first grower then.

Not quite. Did you check out my grow journal? I'm using Boveda Humidipak 65% for perfect curing. I did lots of research on curing tobacco, tea, etc as well. I'd love to test drying manicuring a small batch for my second grow for comparison, though. I thought about it. I really like the...

WAIT A MINUTE!!! BOVEDA IS NOT SILICA GEL!!!! IT DOES EXACT THE OPPOSITE. BOVEDA HUMIDIFIES, WHEREAS SILICA GEL DEHUMIDIFIES. Boveda has liquid inside. It's not those little balls of silica. I've already explained how it works, though. I DON'T want my crop to dry too quickly during the...

Hahaha! You got that right. Why don't you guess over a pound for the next grow for me? I'm really proud though!!

LOL! Are you sure microwaving the pouch is a good idea?? That sounds potentially messy... I'd just leave it out to dry for a little if the pouch seems bloated from absorbing too much liquid. What do you think? So, you've used it before, kev?
