Tent - 2 bucket DWC

Shit is lookin on point Weedler ! View attachment 1198300

Gotta be careful with the sprays or water on the leaves with those lights.
They'll be fine though.
Nature is much much tougher compared to how most ppl pamper and fall over these plants.
Looking forward to seeing what that JH does ! View attachment 1198306

thanks for reply Flo! Was getting worried... I've slowed down Foliar Spray maybe every other day

Oh I plan to, in fact I may spray once tonight I've gone from drenching the ladies to lightly misting them. I'll spray tonight then let them go through the weekend come Monday they are going to freak when the light switches off after 12 hours

We have a problem! Running out of room again lol the girls are fighting for space and I am loving it! 11" on the AK48 and 10" on WW time to get another tent I'll be running 2 tents next grow

Keep on rockin that grow man. WOOT WOOT to you

So I checked the PH as I always do and noticed Friday the AK48 PH went from 5.8 to 5.2 normally the PH rises? So I adjusted and came back to it today and she's down to 5.0 The temps in the reservoirs was 75 but are back down to under 70 now. The WW stayed fairly constant at around 5.89 which is typical possibly goes up to 6.10

I'm scratching why the drop in PH by the AK? I'm changing the reservoir tomorrow evening they are going to 12/12 tomorrow

The AK is drinking a good amount of nutes twice as much as the WW

nice dude. we have almost the exact same setup. i vegged mine last grow for 35 days and my blue mystic got over 4' tall and over 3' wide during flower! next grow i think i'm going to start flower in like 14 days cause of space. best of luck!

Double tent time, aye Weedler ? lol

Are your plants Nirvana beans ?
I just ordered AK48, Bubblicious, Northern Lights and White Widow.
All 10 packs of regular beans for less than $24 each and $100 out the door !

Yes Nirvana beans!

Any advice on the rise in PH for only the AK?

I'm changing the reservoirs today to switch to flower nutes. Right now my girls are on at 6AM off at midnight. I think I'm going to adjust the time Monday morning for there first day of 12/12

If they get 4' I'll be in trouble lol, well it will be close. Tent is 6' high and the jugs are 15" tall.

Doing the lucas formula but I diluted it slightly took 1/2 ga of full strength out and replaced with PH'd tap going to slowly move them up to full strength the PPM swing from full strength veg to bloom was larger than I wanted so instead of risking a burn going to transition them into it

AK:



WW:

Damn those are some nice lookin' plants !!
What are your ppm's coming out of veg ?
What were they before and after dilution ?
Don't leave out that info ! LOL
I just bought these beans bro. LMAO

So this is what's up, your tent is 6ft - 15" for buckets = 57 inches
How tall are your girls ? Let's say 12" and give 10" for hood height from top of tent to bottom of hood.
According to Nirvana, AK48 is mostly Indica w/ short height (2x stretch) and WW is medium height (2.5x stretch). Both go 8 - 10 weeks.
So AK48 at 12" X 2 = 24" and WW at 12" x 2.5 = 30" but lets say 36" for a stretchy pheno.
57" - 10" - 36" = 11 inches of space left over. Minus another 3" for distance under hood plants should be maxed out to grow to avoid heat damage.
So that still leaves 8 inches to play with. I wouldn't push the WW past 12" veg and the AK48 past 15" veg for 30" bushes/trees.
Also, IF you had to raise your light to it's MAX possible height, how much distance from the BOTTOM of the hood to the TOP of your buckets ?
THAT is your grow limit, height wise.
Break that distance into 3rd's and at 1/3rd is your max veg height, especially if you're gowing Sativa dom hybrids (more than 65%) for a 3x stretch.
For 50/50 hybrids and/or Indica dom hybdrids, you have a few more inches to play with and may even need to do some training until you learn a strain from running clones.
Me myself, and following the Inverse Square Law, 30 inches IS my max plant height with my 430w Hortilux to give max light penetration.
Another reason I'm going back to SCROG next grow in 4 weeks.
Can't beat the yield for the amount of space used and total plant matter utilized with EVERY part of the plant getting equal light.
I'm done rambling.........smoked some JillyBean right before answering this ! LMFAO

AK rose to 690 PPM before reservoir change big drops in PH on her. WW was at 675. Full strength flower nutes had PPM up to 850-900 range. I diluted down to 800 PPM slowly let that rise over next week then switch to full strength in 7-10 days introduce the Raw and Boost then at low dosage and increase over the weeks. Thanks for tips Flo I think I'm good on space vertically the ladies will be fighting for room

Full strength is 850 - 900 ?
They should be able to take that now, but I feel you on the transitioning over a week too.
Are the VERY tips of any leaves brown ?

Full Strength was closer at 900 and going over 900 on one container. I have noticed the AK is very sensitive... The WW is just chugging right along. Other than the early burns when they were very young and weak they have been easy to maintain. The AK is larger right now and was right under the MH bulb. Now she has switched spots for a week with the WW I will continue this cycle as well as 90 degree rotations of the lids each day to make the canopy fill in.

Tips are for the most part ALL green. There are some leaves that have the dried up old nute burn tips. Here's a photo of the tips these are the only ones that are burned. The 2nd photo I think I touched the leaf to the light while checking PH I now move the light up & out of the way. Haven't had any burns in 2 weeks besides the 2nd photo of me touching it to the bulb (I think) cause only one leaf is like that... Tried to get some tip shots in there the leafs all look good to me no sign of nute burn yet.





White Widow


AK48


Carbon Filter was installed because I was smelling nutrients outside the grow tent so hooked it up and now I smell nothing

Girls are sleeping I'm sure they are in complete shock can't wait to start seeing some buds lol

Thanks for the good ass pics Weedler !
I'm lovin those big ass fan leaves on them girls !
What kind of fan and filter you running ? Size ?

190 CFM 4" fan pulling air out 110 CFM 4" axial fan pushing air in (only during lights on) I have three 6" fans moving air around in the tent as well.

very nice plants and setup defo will be lookin in

Thanks for stopping by! I should have some photos tomorrow the lights are already off for today.
