TUTANKHAMON and super cheese

U ever did a Tahoe og or a big bud I think it is .. Thinkin bout them on my next run ..

U got a line on any pure sativa that is good to grow

@Shadytrees88
I recently started growing Tutankhamon about a week ago. I haven't started a journal but I think I will and share it with you.

I am a license Medical Patient and caregiver

My setup consists of a
-Veg room with 1 400 watt T5 8 bulb fixture. (Just put in new bulbs), and a 600 Watt MH.
- Bloom Room is 4000 Watts of Hortilux Bulbs, Solistek Ballasts, 15,000 BTU AC, 70 PINT Dehumidifier, & 2 Oscillating fans.

Medium- I do Soil and Hydro (Soil FFOF)

(Not in this order, it just depends on what I am doing)
Nutrients- GH FloraNova or DynaGro
Additives- Canna Rhizotonic, Epsom Salt, Liquid Calcium, Liquid Humic acid and Seaweed Extract, Worm Castings

The Tutankhamon I started a week ago is up to it's REAL first set of leafs and beginning a new set. I will keep you updated and share some pics.

I have some suggestions for grows if you want some ideas. Strong hitters and heavy yielders.

Delicious Seeds - Critical Super Silver Haze
Barneys Farm - Critical Kush (a serious bitch to get seeds past cracking open, 15 seeds and only 2 made it, I bought 3 packs and 1 from a different seed bank. So it wasn't the seed banks fault)
Dr. Greenthumb East Coast Sour Diesel (Mine tested out at 21% and others have hit 27%+ consistently) I have proof if you want it.

Currently I am growing...
Big Buddha - Cheese (My Pheno has great smell, high is decent, yield is best in hydro so far, I popped a few more seeds I had to try to see if I can find a better Pheno)
Royal Seeds - OG Kush (may kill it. no smell, high is so-so, decent yield)
Barneys Farm - Critical Kush (Ongoing due to the awesomeness of this strain)
CBD Crew - Nordle (Just started)
Paradise Seeds - Tutankhamon (Just started)
Afghani (Just started)

Yeah I ran a ebb and flow trey system back in the day but for my tent idk if that would work I am looking at gettin a straight 4x4 tent for vegging and opening my 4x4 now up to the 6x4 and removing the small two level sections ... I found a guy on hydro forum that gave me some damn good advice on rdwc ... I did design a outdoor auto water system in sure it been used but I made a 8 way manifold connected to a sump pump in a 55 gal Rez got 25 foot 1/4 lines going to each smart pot with 2.5 gal per hour sprinkler stake a that shoot a half circle of water not a fine mist that will blow away but not a gusher got it on a timer to run either early morning or late evening so I can get my ph adjusted use nutes ECT and not have to hand water 10'plants well 8 pretty solid setup

I run a RDWC. Let me say that if you have plenty of room and time to wait it is a good way to go. Huge Yields. Easy to manage. No need for an airstone in every pot or to even run the water pump 24/7. I can get into detail if you decide to go that route sometime. I will tell you my pitfalls and ways to save money on your build.
I would stick with the equipment you have for the EBB n Flow and do a Sea of Green. It's more work to maintain due to the constant upkeep of clones but it takes less time and less space per plant. I am headed that way because I hate dealing with TREES. I would rather have a bunch of mini trees.

I'm goin into autos I'm thinkin just something diffrent .. Got a big list to order of autos all my tuts silver and cheese with be goin outside ..'I'd like to hear some
Info on the King tut thou . I can tell ya I got 3 of which r same age two I just stated also only 5 days old .. I got one tut that is 12 tall only 3 weeks and 4 days old long branched I have up poted 2'times really really Rez to stress , one I have main lined and is doin awesome . I'm goin 4 training methods finding my one , I got out of this for 4 years due to a horrible women .. So back in it love it glad I did I have a good solid set up wish I did have another 220 led to match but I Dnt right now that will come . I did some research the last week on autos and think I got some good one than will yeild for me ... I can get u my
List later ... I'm growing with the flora duo line all the supp , but thinkin of switching to the canna boost and pk13/14 and using some molasses but I think I may when I get the canna back off that once flowering starts ... And the rdwc I would love some pointers I think I got it figured out parts and setup imma run 25/7 water and was still gonna use stones in the control , imma run a 8 or 9 pot set up in a 6x4 under 400 hid 220 led and another 50w led along with mayb some t5s but once I get my first run of autos done imma upgrade my LEDs for side lighting lil better then what I got now thou .. But yes any info and I got a journal of mine I've Been keep track of also pics of each week early and late , calendar of feeds water trains ECT .. Lol we need to have coffee haha ... Thanks for the info and pointers and the hospitialty forsure , I love what I do and it's more to me then just soil dirt seed water lights harvest I take pride in it gonna take a bit to get back to my norm but I'm always open to anything people r willing to share and I'm just the same at sharing what I can , so thanks a bunch

My King tut is slow to take off but that is because I move my seeds from a rapid rooter knock off to a 1 gallon cloth pot. So the roots take a bit longer to find bottom and fill out the pot. This way I don't just get a wall of roots, it will fill all available space in the soil, then move up to the next pot size, 5 gallons. This is when I will start taking clones.
I will post next how I setup my RDWC and what I have changed about it to improve it.

Do u use a chiller for ur rdwc ,, I maintain 68 degree room temps and tent temps are 77 to 79 the controller and the Rez will b outside the tent ... My tuts have exploded , all r in 5 gal now 1 foot tall , ones been toped ones been cropped and other been main lined had another Main line but the first topin of the main line came home from work and it was broke so had to basically start over lol it's growing good now thou .. My super cheese is a bush

Before Attempting a RDWC, Please don't waste your time unless you plan on growing trees. It is a great method anyway about it but you will be defeating the purpose of DWC/RDWC otherwise. This is something I have learned. I had smaller plants I only vegged for 2 weeks because of reading others blogs. Now I know, it's about training the plants, lollypopping, and getting the canopy as covered as possible,




I believe I have all the parts listed here that you would need to build your setup the way I did. I didn't list the 1" connections or Buckets because I purchased them locally at Lowes.
Also, depending on what size setup you are planning on building depends on what size water pump you will need and air pump. Also, it's your choice on airstones. If you have a water fall effect due to the return of water through the 1/2 elbows then you won't need air stones. The waterfall effect has been proven scientifically to create the most dissolved oxygen. Next to that would be the cylinder air stones. Even better would be incorporating a mazzei nozzle.

In my first design I used a Danner 7 mag pump. It can only support up to 4 buckets at most. It can press out 700 gal/hr but doesn't have the head pressure to service 10 buckets.
That is why I now use a Mondi sump pump.
There is a huge difference in wattage used. BE AWARE OF YOUR ELECTRICAL DRAW. The Mondi pump is 750 watts whereas the Danner is 75 watts I believe. The Mondi pump puts out water stronger than what comes out of your garden hose. I only run it once per hour for 15 mins. It cycles enough water to keep everything fresh.

The point of recirculation is to have an even distribution of nutrients and to aid in maintaining your PH at a stable level longer. So, 24 hours running a pump is not needed.

As for women, I know what you mean. They can be the bane of all mankind. As for mine, that is another reason I don't run anything pretty much 24/7. Only my A/C and Dehumidifier.

Save some money, put your emphasis on the water pump and don't spend it on air stones or an air pump. Though, if you do then go for the air pump I listed if you need a big one. It is the size of a shoe box and is quiet. Amazing power too. You will get a bubble boner when you see the output.

Again, I am going to say, if you have a waterfall effect into your buckets, you don't need an airstone in each bucket. You can get a small airpump and oxygenate the reservoir.
If you use the Mondi Pump, then you had better have a large reservoir. It will suck down 30 gallons in 5 mins easy and you will need larger return hoses to make up for that. I don't need larger lines because I only run 15 mins every hour so and the system keeps up just enough to keep the hungry sump pump fed with water.
*** Not enough water in the tank to be cooled by my Hisense Ghetto chiller. ***



I will upload pictures later today. I have to go pick up some equipment for my RDWC expansion I am doing.

That is awesome to hear! (Minus the broken one)
Yes, I use a "Chiller". I put the QUOTES because it's a homemade one.
Let me tell you that using a dehumidifier as a chiller is not only way cheaper but way more efficient. It's like having a 3/4 hp + chiller for a 30 pint dehumidifier. Plus you don't need a water pump to move the water through this chiller. If you set it up on a timer, only run it 15 mins every hour for 40-60 gallons of moving water. Otherwise you WILL freeze your plants. This keeps me at 65 degrees. Now, I use a thermostatically controlled adapter that will turn the dehumidifier on and off. ($40)




This isn't mine but it's how mine is set up. (I will upload pics tonight of mine)
The fins are titanium so don't worry about rust or metal leeching into the water. I have been using mine for over 6 months and it's clean as a whistle.

So for a 4x4 or 6x4 with 650 wats of hid/led , how many plants would u do for that rdwc , probly a scrog set up I take it ???? I'm really interested in this , I did make my own parts list up for all the things to make the Systme minus the bigger pump , the dehumidifier and that thermo controller but this was enough stuff to do 8 bucket setup .. .. I was around 180 for all the pipe fittings ECT .. But what ur gettin at 500 bucks I could have a complete rdwc ...

Grrr 650 watts... RDWC is supposed to be TREE's... Like 4-6 ft and or very bushy, best to ScROG.
I wouldn't do more than 2 under a 600. Go BIG and ScROG and you will Yield what 6+ Yield in a normal setting.

This is what I mean in TREE

Here's the Chiller. Just put the radiator in the REZ and run for 15 mins/ hr for a RDWC with 40-60 Gallons.

I am in the process of cleaning these buckets right now. I use a Pool Chlorine tablet and let it circulate for 48 hrs.

My King TUT babaies

That's one days after trans the super cheese and the bottom pic is 3 days after ... What u think def or
Just strong growth ,'I gave her a dose of rapid start since that is bout the lowest N I HAVE didn't wanna over dose it if she wasn't .. But that tall tut she is flat suckin up the water bro like I trans planted her watered with plan water used 1 gallon and 1/4 of water and she was well watered had 20 to 30% run off and barley two days she needed another drink suffered zero shock I guess .. But I did go heavy on the perlite cause I have a tendency to over think and water when Indnt need to so I went with more perlite to give better well u know .. Any way what u tbink of what I got .. Ur tuts must have diffrent phono cause mine r shad thinee leaves .... The cheese is bottom left rest of the smalls r the tuts before main lined , that's at I do Belive week 2 mayb 2-1/2 That's is my King tut and the one to the right and bottom right is king tuts the top right is king tut main line fuck up and the bottom is main line 4 tops but goin for 16 , the smalls in the back r king tut and super silver ,, all be outdoor ... My king tuts r favoring sativa Dom and are taller then bushier that tall one had not been toped but the lower sets of branches have , the yellow one is super cheese and had just been super cropped , tryin to find that sweet spot for what I wanna continue to do super crop/top or just mainline You think that is a nitrogen defc , I transplanted them like 3 days ago fox farm ocean happy frog and perlite , no nutes to me it looks like quick growth but almost to yellow in a way but kinda 50/50 to me cause all the lower and ups have new growth but them two spots are only yellow areas rest of plant looks amazing ....

U ever grew train wreck original la or any at all I got a seed from a buddy that was suppose to be a la strain but I Dnt no here is a pic what u tbink it looks sativa favorable to me but I'm not a super expert ... That was week 4 I think I got em divided on my phone for a complete grow journal but them 4 big ones u seen in the other pics are starts for my dad and just home grown with one LA POSISBLE ..

That's a Sulfer/Iron deficiency. You need to foliar feed to correct it as quickly as possible. Also, add to water for long term fix. Usually you can find something adequate at a garden store such as some additive called transplant nutrients for re-potting. Usually they have sulfer and iron in it.
Just check the label and go half strength at most to begin with. Even 1/4 should do. Spray once every few days until new growth appears normal.

As for the added perlite. Don't add too much when you re-pot. You will end up needing to water nearly twice a day in flower. I did that once as an experiment. It was basically a Hempy Bucket at that point.
