Diggitydank's second DWC grow (PPP x Sour Diesel)

Ok, so I finally moved into the new house this past Saturday. Now the time has come to start growing my PPP x Sour Diesel hybrid again! YAY!

Measured the dimensions of my closet and at 38x64.5x24 are just perfect for this grow tent which (hopefully) I will have on order by the end of the week.

This will be a perfect fit:

And at just under $100 with shipping it ain't a bad deal.

So inside of that tent I will be using my three 3gallon DWC tubs and CFL's for now with at least a 400w HPS to come in the future. Perhaps a 600w, but it may be overkill for that size of a grow area. Thoughts?

When I place the order for the tent I'm gonna have HTG send me some rooting plugs and pH down with it. Once I have all that, pictures will soon follow.

So join me for this adventure. From germination to inhalation I hope to educate and be educated.

See ya soon guys!!!

Im reading your DIY DWC for the second time now. For some reason im having a hard time understanding the whole nute mixing thing, times for bubblers, water levels, are the roots supposed to touch the water, temps, cleaning and refilling the res., etc.
I want to find an article that explains this whole thing. I really want to try this and will be following this grow...

Thanks

Update!

I set up 6 seeds to germinate by placing in a paper towel, wetting it, and then placing the paper towel/seeds into a ziploc bag. I then wrapped the bag in a black towel and placed it on my cable box for some warmth.

Checked them today to find that 5 out of 6 have germinated! The one that didn't was a small one anyway.

Prepped some soil to plant them (DWC is later) and then did so.

I'm actually hoping for one male so that I can inbreed this strain for an F2(?) and stabilize it a bit.

As of now I have 5 PPP x Sour Diesel under two 26W 6500K CFL's and this will be a CFL grow for now, with the HPS coming later.

Hopefully my tent will get here by Friday, otherwise I won't get it until next week.

Anyway... pics will be coming soon so stick around!

Not much to show for now, but here's some pics:

yea man, lets hope those babys will pop soon

Shouldn't be too long... the seeds already had tails 3mm long when I planted them. PUT YOUR SEEDS ON A HEAT MAT OR SOMETHING SIMILAR, E.G. CABLE BOX. I never had seeds germinate so quickly before introducing some warmth into the equation.

Sorry about the picture quality... cell phone cam is all I have

Anyway... all 5 are starting to punch through the soil. Not much to talk about otherwise except that I'm gonna have to wait until Monday or Tuesday until my tent shows up.

Good luck.

Followed your DIY DWC instructions and it got me this. +rep

Friggin' niceeeee, Butters! Thx for the rep!

Here we are at day 5 for the seedlings. Two are growing well with 2 more following behind, the fifth seed has yet to poke it's head through.

And... my tent should be here anytime soon. Hopefully before I have to go back to work.

Well... here's the tent. It took all of 15 minutes to set it up. Thanks HTG!

Is this seat taken? I hope not, I need to sit down.

Sounds like a great combo you have there, PPP x Sour Diesel hybrid. They should be real happy in that new tent. With that price and ease of use, you may have just got HTG another sale. I'll be watching to see your girls grow!!

It is a good hybrid, I've done one run of it before!

nice tent man.
will be waiting updates



stay high....

All hail HTG!

Here we are at day 6 since planting... It looks like that fifth one isn't gonna make it, oh well.

Ok, so I had nothing to do earlier after I got off of work and I decided to transfer the two bigger seedlings to the DWC tub. The other two are still chillin in the soil until they grow another inch or so.

I also found #5 while digging out the first two... she's still alive, she just couldn't figure out which way was up, so maybe she'll make it after all.

Anyway... here's some kiddie pr0n!

Before:



After:

Looking good! Do be careful with the kiddies they're awfully tender at that age.

Thanks, cph. And you can take my word, I was very gentle. Besides, this is how I've always done it. I'm too lazy to go to the hydro shop and get rapid rooters.
