Going Big: New Year, New Grow! 600w DWC tent

I bought this system due to the reviews on this post. DON'T buy stealth hydro bubbleponic system. It's poorly designed and very expensive. It was a harsh lesson. I beleived the posts here I read on this forum and forked over the dough. Man it's been non-stop work modifying the system to make it decent. and ......... still.....the net pots are way too small. Man I regret it. But I learned quite a bit on how NOT to design a system. hehehe.

word man ill let ya know when i start. and you tell him lol

peace

Ha send them spammers packin!

How far into flowering/how far from harvest are you? Do you know the actual flowering time of your girls?

lol.

The start of week 4 is on Monday. I have no idea how long these take to flower but I've heard the LA woman is 9-10 weeks and the TW is a slower finisher as well. The buds are starting to form really nicely. I'll get some pics up later today when I get back from the gym.

Shit's looking good still. I was forced to tie down the trainwreck since the biggest plant kept falling over. The only solid thing around to tie it to is the tent pole, so that is what I did. Moved white widow to 12/12 today.

Pics two days later than promised...

Come into my tent:


TW forest:


LA Woman:


Kings Kush, 2 White Widow, 3 LA Woman clones:


LA Woman buds:




Trainwreck buds:

TOASTY! Lookin nice!

sad thats first rate bro keep it up

yea buddy keep it up everything is looking real nice

So where can I buy a stealth bubbleponics system
I have money I have been giving it crack heads all day
they are going to work around the house tomoz lol
grow looks great dude what ppm are ya running

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. I'm still overfeeding a few of them pretty bad but I think I've got things dialed in for now.

Thanks.

Skip on the inferior and overpriced SH stuff and make your own like I did. It'll save you tons of money, you'll have better equipment, and you can tailor it to your specifications.

I use EC, not PPM because its a more universal measurement. Trainwreck is at 1.8, LA woman is at 1.3, Kings Kush is at 1.4, and the smaller clones have an EC of .9. The LA woman still seems a little overfed, so I'm keeping an eye on the levels to see if they are rising and falling with the water level. Either the strains are all light feeders or these Humboldt nutrients are very effective at low EC.

Yo, it's been a minute since I've checked out this grow, and it's looking awesome. How powerful is that larger air pump you have, and how loud is it compared to smaller ones?

Thanks a lot! Definitely appreciate you stopping in to scope my grow out.

The large pumps are 600 gph, so they put out a shit ton of air. They are also fairly loud, I'd estimate around 40 decibels. The small ones don't make any noise at all.

Dude what was your major in school again? I remember you saying it was something relatively generic (philosophy, business admin, something like that) but hearing you talk EC and estimate decibel levels makes you sound like some of my engineer friends haha

Oh and forgot to mention.... those plants are going NUTS!!

LOL! Yeah, I've got a management degree. I definitely missed my true calling since I've had a fascination with chemistry and engineering since I was little. Unfortunately, I started my undergrad at a college that didn't have a engineering program but had a good business college, so I went that route instead. If I could combine the two disciplines into a career, that would be pretty sweet.

But yeah, the plants are going nuts, just like yours. I wish you had an EC meter so we could compare numbers. I feel like I'm at a really low EC for the plants being as big as they are, but they still look really overfed.

The LA woman is looking gorgeous! I cant wait to see how much you harvest of that big ass plant! It doesnt look like it wants to stop growing

Thanks, it sure is a beast. I'm hoping for three zips off her but since I've never grown the strain before I have no idea how big of a yielder it is. Ironically, she is a very light eater and I'm still having issues dialing in the right ppm. At 4 weeks of flower, I'm at a touch over 1.0 EC which seems really low for how big she is and I'm still seeing overfeeding symptoms.

The trainwreck is looking mighty delicious right now. The nugs right under the light are fattening up noticeably each day. They still don't have a smell to them but they look exactly like the picture on the 'tude website. I'm really excited about these ladies. I've got the feeding nailed down and they couldn't be healthier.

Tried to give everyone rep but I have to spread it around more. Sorry...

Workin on the EC meter. Got in contact with the dude off Ebay and he said he'd refund me the money or credit it towards another better meter. He's where I got the 2 links for those meters I PM'd you.

Not sure if it helps but since that first nute burn I've been mixing my nutes at half strength (1 gallons worth of nutrients in 2 gallons of water per reservoir) so I'd bet my EC is as low if not lower than yours and my girls are happy.

I also need to use your Trainwreck knowledge. My Trainwreck cross is like twice the size of the other 2 clones I got at about the same age. I notice in your garden your Trainwreck is a monster too. Is that just the nature of the strain or do I need to get it under my 600w to stop it's stretch?

Nice. I just checked the one that I bought and it has the same range as the first one you linked me to. I'd get that one. I have the same meter but without the pH testing capability.

Yeah, I'll bet your EC is pretty low. Seems like this stuff is way stronger than they claim it is. If I went by the feeding schedule, they wouldn't be unhealthy plants, they'd be dead as fuck. At 1.2EC, I'm still getting leaf curl on the LA woman. Bitch is 4 weeks into flower, WTF?

Trainwreck is a force not to be reckoned with. It grows how it pleases and that is typically retarded and stretchy. The name is self-explanatory on how it grows. It looks like a total mess and HAS TO BE tied down to prevent it from falling over on itself. I had the light within 8 inches of the tops the whole time and they still stretched like crazy. I suggest flowering it as soon as you can if you don't want it to turn out to be a huge beast. I only vegged mine for 4 weeks.

Think it's big enough to go into flowering now? I'll get it a big bucket and throw it in the room with the big girls tomorrow if I can. I put up pics if it in my journal. I'd say it's like 9" tall and it's got solid roots
