When you realize you made a mistake that you just can't fix...?

My first grow is a DWC in a single 5 gallon bucket... She is gorgeous... Been in flower for 4 weeks and my path to learning just took me down a dead-end road. I have a problem I can't fix. What I need to know is... Am I screwed, or is there something I can do to help.

I did a scrog in a cabinet... I should have take the screen out the day I decided to let here get above it... Now I cannot get it out, which means, I cannot clean my res! How screwed am I?

I change the the water every week... Twice. On Saturdays I just put in ph adjusted water to flush her and then on Sundays, I replace that water with nutes (ph adjusted of course). I just started using Heisenberg's tea recipe for combatting slime... When I change the water, it looks and smells good.

What can I do to help get her to make it to harvest...? Another 4 weeks or so...

you can use a pump to pull the water out, or a shop vac.

That is how I do the water changes.

ok so, is there a problem with your plant? or are you just freaked out bc you can't scrub the bucket? bc most ppl don't do that anyways and the heisenburg thing works pretty well as long as you don't overdo it.

The only problem my plant has is me! Lol. She has been one tough little bitch....

When end I started building my cabin almost six months ago, I knew what a seed was... I knew hydroponics used water, not dirt... And that about where it ended. Now I am reading constantly, learning daily and well... I did know before I went into flower that I needed to be able to clean my res... But since then I have learned more. Cleaning the res is way more important in a DWC grow than I thought it was.

No, my girl does not seem to have any problems. This "new knowledge" is just freakin' me out I guess. Call it newbie-itus.

I posted new pics on my journal yesterday...

Wow she's a Beast! +rep
