Tent - 2 bucket DWC

Thanks for the bump, photos coming here in 30 minutes and more detailed report.

Okay added 1.5L of water for each lady to top off reservoir. Another frozen bottle to cool temps down. PH 5.8 and PPM at 875 which is down 75 from full strength. I plan on doing a reservoir change in 2 days. The ladies are really starting to change gears now they look to be putting their energy into flowering now Stretching has slowed slightly. I hope I get another 5-6" out of AK48 and another 8" out of WW but typically WW is a shorter plant.

AK48 is 24"

WW is 20"

Wow the AK48 is drinking some fluids! After only 7 hours she had drank 1 L of water easily if not more lol

AK48 & WW are really starting to bud up. I think they have reached the tail end of stretch they may have a few more inches to grow. Reservoir change coming tomorrow

Looking into the tent, ladies have taken over!

Looking good Weedler... Those things got huge... When you gonna start trimmnig up the lower parts of those things? i'd want all my energy going towards those tops..... That is def some Happy growing bro!

Girls are looking good bro !
They aren't done with the stretch just yet either.
LG420 is right, about those lowers.
You have a 400w ?
I'd take 6 - 8 inches off the bottoms of each one.
Especially assuming that WW stays 6 inches shorter than the AK.
That puts the WW canopy top about 10 - 12 inches from your light, at least.
Only leaves you with 18 inches of good light penetration.
It's not too late to bend and tie some branches to the edge of your lids and open the inside up.
Also a good time to trim some leaves real good that are blocking lower budsites.
And ALL big leaves pointing and resting in the middle of the plants.
Cut ALL those out the middle and get some light in those girls.
The forrest will be thick ass shit, again in 2 weeks ! Trust !

Roger that I'll start trimming them up. I am planning on purchasing a 400W I guess I should buy it and get it here ASAP considering I have some larger plants and it would add more yield.

Well I started off by being extra cautious removing the ladies then upon removing the WW I heard a snap, closed my eyes and feared the worse. Slowly removed her and found that one of the weakest of the 4 main branches had broken in half.

I decided to sacrifice that branch for the rest of the plant and removed it since it has serious issues. I also decided on 2 main shoots as the others were just not cutting it.

Took off a good amount of leaves and undergrowth removed some fan leaves to make room for bud sites. I'll have to go back & count how many I have now, I removed 10-12 weak bud sites low on the plant that would have wasted energy from the main colas.

I placed the White Widow on a box roughly 4" high so now the tops are completely even for both ladies. The AK had a very weak main shoot as well I decided to clip that it was having serious issues.

To recap: WW has two main shoots now and the AK48 has 3. Pictures below

I don't think I took too much a little disappointed there won't be 4 colas / lady but I think that was wishful thinking to begin with the size of the off shoots didn't justify keeping them and so me accidentally breaking one of the weaker ones made up my mind that only the strong survive

Appreciate the kind words thanks to Flo & Lightguy for getting on me about trimming them up some more lol

Watch out everyone, 400W light has been ordered & on the way!!

Next purchase will be a 4'x4'x6' tent $100 shipped and a 6" axial fan for intake

The 6" exhaust w/ carbon filter will come last no need to spend all that cash when we still have 5-6 weeks to go

So I'll have two flower chambers and be running two coolers in the larger tent, all that is needed now is a small Veg / Clone chamber as opposed to the closet

Snapped branches can be completely mended with some white surgical tape. I've snapped a 1/8th-3/16th diameter branch completely in half. Wrapped some tape around it, and good to go.

Thanks but I opted to clip them due to the fact that they were so small and so underdeveloped but + rep for the help if I break another I'll for sure use your suggestion. Thanks!

Those girls are still lush and beautiful bro !
In 2 weeks, they'll be a forrest again.
You'll be trimming just a leaves few from buds sites later on.
You're being wise about the branch that snapped and taking the other weak ones.
Been there a few times.

Thanks Flo! They look naked right now lol

LOL, I know.
It gets me every time I trim. lol
But again, in 2 weeks, you'll be like damn where all this come from.
That 400w will have you hurtin these cats.
CFL tent for clones and mom(s), 250w tent for veg and 400w tent for bloom.

Here are the moms...

AK48 she has been topped at like the 6th node short & bushy!!


Look at her roots!!


Jock Horror topped at 5th node


JH Roots!


Look at this weird looking fan leaf, JH is a sativa

Damm weedler everything looks good!

Everything is going well. Picked up the dehumidifier the humidity had increased into the mid 50's. It is now decreasing, was 51% last time I checked lights out here in an hour.


Here's the White Widow

AK48 Shots


Reservoir change came last night.

PH 5.8
PPM 950
Water Temp 66 F
Air Temp 84 at top of canopy 79 at ground level (lights on) 76 at lights off.

Just a side note the humidity was pretty high once I plugged the unit in 55% in the tent. Since plugging it in the temps in the room are around 75 right now which is normal because the A/C kicks off to 75 during lights off. I am glad I hooked it up tonight as the unit puts out some heat! Especially when it is running to pull the water out of the air. The humidity has now been lowered to 45% and below. The unit will maintain 45% humidity for the room with little ease. The temperature in the room has leveled out at 77. The unit is on low with a continuous drain via a garden hose so no need for emptying out any buckets I got the 30L / day because I am only concerned about a small area. I will check the humidity in the tent tomorrow morning the ladies are sleeping right now.

The inside structure on your ladies looks real good !
Glad that dehumidifier is working out for you too.
What kind/size cooler you keeping those Moms in ?
