My two thoughts are too much water or pH issues. If your pH has been steady and near where it should be then I would say it's too much water. ?
No worries bud. It's just good seeing you round these parts.Hey buddy makin my rounds! I havent forgotten about the strain report, although I am LATE!
Hope all goes well!
, didn't make it?
Not sure if was talked about before here, but just came to mind again.
Any one noticed the difference between the soil vs hydro harvest.
I know Jig you said you tried some of Boomers WW believe that was in soil i believe, how was that compared to a hydro harvest. They are not the same strain so its hard to tell i know but just wondering.
Was thinking of doing something like Jig did last grow few soil girls on the sides where they can fit and get good light.
Oh yea looks like theres one short
I went nuts with the panda film. Put it over the net pots to keep light from penetrating the hydroton... and put it over the wood table to give it a clean look and boost reflectivity.
Wow man. That is an amzing price. How on earth did you swing that? Both tickets for 300 euros? Good on you.
I don't know raider... I wouldn't want to mess with the magic you got going on. Haha... then again... I don't keep a setup for more than one grow, so who am I to talk, lol.Very clean bro, I really need to go full on hydro. It looks so good man. The hash looks bomb too, very nice!!
Dude... I am totally bummed about the 6th girl. She was killed in a horrific construction accident. I was trying to lower the fluoros and the thing slipped... hard to explain, but it basically got extremely unlucky and was snapped off right at the base of her stalk. A clone with no roots again. I took out the root mass and tried to stick the clone into the water... thinking I'd nurse it back. But realized she would be weeks behind the other plants and figured it wasn't worth it. So I'm not sure now what to do.Any one noticed the difference between the soil vs hydro harvest.

Haha... just keeping everyone on their toes. It goes like this:
There is something to say about the density I get. I don't know if that's a result of using hydro or not. Maybe the lights. Also the Gravity product I use may be the key. Who knows. It's a shame I don't have the desire to run side by side tests. Maybe one day.
Class pics...!!I went nuts with the panda film. Put it over the net pots to keep light from penetrating the hydroton... and put it over the wood table to give it a clean look and boost reflectivity.

We are definitely going to have to see about the tickets. I would not be happy having to spend $500 to have a ticket for somethng on the other side of the world.
About the roots. Funny you mention they look good. The ones in the video are the tine undeveloped ones. Two plants stayed in cups longer than the others... that was one of them. I'm including pics of the good roots. I can't take the net pots out as they are fixed in.
I left the bottom of the tub open with no tape. No need to cover it really. Plus it makes for fun picture taking.
I would prefer the plants to be out of the small conainer last week... but I lag. I really want them in the tubes... life has just been a bit busy lately.

Should I make 6 holes in my new setup... or just make 5. It's not so much the drilling I'm worried about... but the spacing. I think I'll do 5 spaced out even, and just buy new pipe and cut 6 for next grow if needed. The pipe part only cost $11, so no big loss.
About the two different smokes... there is definitely a difference. Hard to explain though. Boomers Widow just seems more natural. The smell it gives off seems to just be 'right'. My stuff stinks, but it's more like perfume... not like something you'd smell walking through a meadow. Boomers smoke is a bit harsher, but again it kinda tastes more like pot is supposed to taste. Mine taste like it's flavored... like boom said grape juice or something.
It's kinda like comparing someone who works out with no weights and no fancy supplements, but works out ALL the time. Compare that person to a body-builder... they are both really strong. The body-builder could lift more weight... looks more impressive all oiled up and shit. But the natural body just looks more right, see what I mean. The muscles don't look just gross becuase of how huge they are.
So there... that's my comparison, haha. I am not saying either is better. In fact I think most of us would strive for a body-builder bud... but you definitely give up that gods given beauty and smell.
In my opinion of couse.
Haha... just keeping everyone on their toes. It goes like this:
Qu - Od - Qu
Qu - Qu
Hahaha... now I'm just confusing you more.

Sorry, Must have missed it. I usually use Root66 from Technaflora but I havent yet in this round. Have had great results with it before, but still having great success without it. I really give credit to the roots being so nice to the massive amounts of air I get into the water. My tubs have 8 airstones running off of 2 big airpumps. This seems to be what makes roots grow like nuts. Keep in mind, that my tubs are for several plants(3-6), but you really want to get as much in as you can. Here is a shot of the inside of one of my tubs..Glad you stopped by and dropped those pics on us. I love that root shot. You musta missed my question in the 600 club. Which was: Do you use any root booster stuff? I love that mass... just love it.
I am of the opinion that the thing to perfect growing for me now is Roots. More roots more better buds right?
So yeah man... givin me something to shoot for with that.
It's in neutral at the moment. HOWEVER, I just hung up with my wife... she was at the hydro store for me getting the Correct size netpots. So I guess we have officially put the construction back into drive. Next up... cutting holes, making and installinga dam, putting in the plumbing, and buying a bigger pump. Sounds like a lot, but I don't anticipate it taking all that long.Hey Jig...
How's the "tube" build going?
Can't wait to see it...
So no building then. Damn.Right on bro. I was wondering if I should hook up the larger airpump to the tiny tank... I am going to do that. Also I Think I'll give them each an airstone like that as well. I love good ideas to copy.

If you dont have a store near you or are ordering a bunch, they're online too. If your want to buy more than 2-4 of them, order them online. The stores usually only stock 2-4 but I have 4 stores within 15 miles of me, so I just go store hoppin for mine. Heres a link.

Forgot to say they work grest in regular buckets, that's what I use for my moms as well.
now that there sounds like knowledgeI am of the opinion that the thing to perfect growing for me now is Roots. More roots more better buds right?
So glad I have a wonderful wife who suggested I start growing same here m8Hey guys,
You are all welcome to ask questions or comment at any time on here, so please do. I do this (keeping a journal) to share and learn... and I can't learn from doing it without your help. Support is appreciated too, even if you don't know anything, please hang out and say hello. This grow journal is going to be good. Lots of pictures, videos, good times, and good buds.
I grow from clones I get at a store in Hollywood (i'm in so cal) http://www.lamedicalmarijuana.com/ For this grow I'm going with Casey Jones (Sour Diesel x Trainwreck) and Headband (Sour Diesel x OG Kush). There will be 2 plants of each strain, so 4 plants total. Each will have their own 5 gallon bucket. There will be 4 screens, one for each bucket/ plant. The plants will be surrounding my two lights, a 250w Metal Halide and a 400w High Pressure Sodium. The lights will be vertical in a home made cool tube type thing. I have a 6" 435 cfm fan to cool the lights, and the hot air will be vented out the roof.
The idea for this type of grow came from a fellow RIU member smoote1987 - Here is a link to his grow that inspired my 4 site vetical dwc:
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/187807-blueberry-dwc-full-grow-diy.html#post2425290
So... I'd like to tell you what's going on. I just finished what you could call my second grow (purple kush). I don't consider it a real grow because I started the purple kush clones in dixie cups, they spent most of their life under 60w of flouros, then moved into the closet when my first grow finished (Hindu Skunk & White Widow). That is why I am calling this vertical grow #2.
Here are links to both those grows:

Before anyone gets too excited there are no plants yet. There won't be any plants for a while. Why start a grow journal then? because there will be plants soon enough, and this journal will be here long after all the harvest is smoked. Plus this way I can have the whole damn story in one place, from concept to chop.
In case you can't tell I talk alot, but I try to keep most of it on topic or entertaining. I hope you like reading. I like learning new words too, so anyone that puts something good in their post gets bonus points.
I'm getting tired at the moment, so I'll post more soon. I really just wanted to get the ball rolling.
Now... This is complete shameless marketing on my part, but in an effort to get people to check out my journal here is what I have done in the other grows:
Purple Kush -
Hindu Skunk -
White Widow -
Big Harvest -
If you are still reading... good job. I look forward to having you all along for the ride. I really love Rollitup and I really love growing pot.
On with the show. I'll show some pics of the new setup in the next post... deal?
