New Grower 1st Grow: Mephisto Sour Crack/Skywalker COB DWC

[2MinutesHate]

Glad these girls recovered for you dude and hopefully you'll get to flower them for as long as you want to. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I would recommend making one change to the position of your air pump though, they tend to work more efficiently when they are elevated to the same height as your water level, sometimes a little higher. I picked up this advice from another thread on here as I'm currently planning on setting up my second tent with a couple of DWC buckets in it and had been following other DWC bucket threads to get some advice and insight.
Happy growing dude!

Thanks for the tip! I'll go ahead and elevate them today.

If the air pump fails and it’s lower then the water level it will drain all the water out of the pots. Sooo many instances where people were surprised to see dry thirsty plants and a wet floor.

Plants look great. The conversion didn’t take long either. Temps are lower, light is brighter and probably drawing much less at the wall. Perfect!

Just some advice on time too. I have seen so many people chop plants based on day and lose out on so much end product. You should never chop or consider chopping based on a date. Do it based on the plant. You grow it for 60-70 days and the last weeks are the most important. If it’s a week early those prior 60-70 days are really a waste. This is the main reason I don’t keep track of time.

Hope you don’t mind another follower. Exited to see how they turn out.

I follow. Truth told, I don't actually know how old the plants are. I'm not very good at keeping records, more of a reactionary type. I was mostly just looking for educated opinions about how close they might be based on how the plant looks. I wanna let these girls grow as long as they're willing to!

Though I'll keep posting updates here periodically, and hope you all will check me before I let them go too far.

You all are great, thanks so much for looking and replying

These sour crack are getting so crystally! (That's definitely a word, right?) The hairs are starting to turn brown en masse while I sleep. I think I have to be within weeks of cutting these two down. The bigger leaves on one of them are starting to yellow and look rough, though, so I may have an issue. I'm gonna check my ph and ppm and share some pics to see what you all think.

The Skywalkers are really starting to drink heavier (at least a gallon in two days) the flowers are fattening up a great deal in their 4 hours dark time, and are starting to look like something I'll be able to smoke! A great deal of crystal dust is turning up on them.

Super excited. These COBs really are crystal machines.

Here are the sour crack currently.

Don't worry, I'm keeping my pumps up, but I'm using my watering buckets to hold them up!

What do you all think about the yellowing leaves on the left plant?

Thanks!

At that stage of bud maturity i wouldnt worry about the leaves or try to remedy any defs.
You'll prob have her harvested in a couple weeks

Wonderful! Thanks. I found that the PH got a bit high (6.4) overnight. Gonna PH some plain water to try to correct that.

Here are some pics of the skywalkers, which are really plumping up and looking decent to my eyes. The tips of a lot of the leaves have just a touch of burn, but they're drinking a lot and getting big. I feel like these are gonna take at least a couple or few weeks more than the sour crack to be ready.

So, my regular supplier isn't an option right now, so I snipped one of the little bottoms for a test in the vaporizer.

Aaaaaand??
Or are you now too baked to type??

 

[2MinutesHate]

It totally does the trick! Super heady high. I snipped enough for a couple of servings so I could let a second one dry out a bit. I think it'll vape better once dried, but it's definitely got some potency for being snipped early!
