To be honest I don't think there are any benefits to not changing res other than just not having to bother with doing it haha. The same way I don't want to be bothered checking ph all the time. Pure laziness ;D

If the plants drink 6 gallons of water in my system that uses 12 gallons then why bother dumping out the other 6 gallons when I can just add a fresh 6 gallons to get back up to 12. Now that I think about it, it would definitely prolong the life of my RO filter and only having to refill certain amounts instead of the whole system is definitely faster when it takes my filter 1 hour per 5 gals of RO water. Add to the fact that I'm doing all of this in a 1 bed room apt and my operation is in my closet. All these things start to add up to me not wanting to bother with full res changes.

Don't get me wrong though, I know how to adapt. I've already done 1 res change after 2 weeks even though I wasn't planning on it. If If seems like I need to do one I definitely will.

Gotcha, and that makes total sense to me. I understand the not wanting to bother with it portion of it, but as I had to learn there are some places you can take shortcuts and other places not so much. And trust me I completely understand about having to wait on water to filter grrrrr it is a pain in the neck. But if it was easy everyone would do it. I am subbed up for sure because I am interested to see how it turns out and what kind of results you see. One of the things that will help with not changing the rez is the RO water, that is where a lot of the salts that you want to avoid can come from. So don't let anyone tell you that you cant do something, do it and prove em all wrong! But as always I and most on here are here to help in any way we can

Thank man. I definitely am feeling extremely confident in this grow in comparison to all my others. I actually feel so confident i'm scared I'm going to jinx myself lol. Fully expecting to at least double my best yield to date which really shouldn't be that hard which is probably why I'm feeling confident. ;D

They are looking good so far, now it is time for the updates lol no pics since Tues. but then again when they are young not much happens

 

[Anasazi]

Yea I didn't want to be that guy who spams the thread with pics every 2 days haha. I'll do an update tomorrow with some new pics. Everything seems to be going well so far though. Not seeing any problems but one thing I did notice today was how hard my stems are. I've never seen them get this hard this fast before. I guess that rhino skin is putting in work? that shit works fast if it's really only because of that.

Hard green and bumpy.



man you are so into hydro, I love it. I've read so many dwc journals since I decided to go hydro and build this setup. I keep comparing my plant progress to everyone else like every few days. It's like "omg they harvested so much and my plant looks like theirs did at the same age!" LOL

You are one of the main people keeping this section active. +rep ;D

Update ~~~~~~


Day 19 -
ppm = 720
ph = I have no idea, I have faith in the ph perfect nutes! ;D
Bucket temp = 69* Res temp = 67*

I think things are going very smoothly. Almost a little too smoothly!! lol. The girls seem to be thriving? SH is definitely a lot more beefier than the GC. Both of them have such clean leaves I'm not used to it tbh lol. Typically my plants always have at least something weird going on somewhere on some leaf by now. Hydro is pretty freaking great, at this rate i'm never going back.

Any input from the fam is welcome! let me know what you guys think of them


@derek420colorado a little late but I didn't forget! ;D

@Anasazi They are looking fantastic man, those ROOTS though those are some of the whitest roots I have ever seen. Keep up the good work and the diligence will pay off for sure. Oh and totally DO update every 2 days with pics if you can lol, the reason being is that 2 days is a LONG time in the DWC world lol. I mean just look at @dcat0921 baby she grew like 6 inches in 5 days or something like that. Especially since those roots are now down in the rez with all that wonderful air, so she is now in the rocket stage of veg growth so IMO there are never too many updates and too many pics. The funny thing is I mainly do my grow journals for me, so I can go look back and see what I did, there of course is the social aspect of it and getting feedback is the way we all learn. So if you post every couple of days it will be greatly received and you will also be able to look back at a very detailed grow log. Trust me you won't be "that guy" if you were taking pics of a plant in soil with CFL's and posting every 2 days that might get a little old lol. But I bet even since you posted the last pics that she has shown measurable growth that I would love to see.

You see the thing for me is that this is the ONLY thing keeping me sane while I wait to get back to Colorado here in a couple of weeks, so I love your updates and want as many as I can get because it literally is the only thing I have to do right now while waiting to get back to the emerald rectangle

Thanks a lot for stopping by! I think you are actually one of the first people to ever give me rep in all the time I've been here. Thanks man ;D

You are so right about the pics lol. I felt a bit silly after comparing the new pics with the ones from Tuesday. There is definitely a big difference in only a few days. This is actually the first journal where I told myself it was going to be for me. I use to get sad that no one really ever showed my journals any love like a lot of other journals here. Now I just want some type of record of my shit and if it ends up being helpful to people then all the better.

I'm looking forward to you starting your next grow. Gawd I hope I get to move to Colorado by this time next year. The day I'm not confined to a closet anymore is going to be one of the best days of my life. Well that and not having to stress about losing my freedom.

 

[dcat0921]

My only words of advice...move those buckets apart. You're gonna need all the room you can get between those two. Once they take off you'll be in a jungle...but it's worth it [emoji106]
Gonna follow along here and see how you do.
