Grow Mediums Bc's Hydro adventures

[brokencage]

Ok today I cut the rest of the larf from the screen(found another nice bud hidden behind her sister!!) Ya 2 days to harvest. My back wont allow me to stay bent over the screen long.next plant will be easier as i can just remove the controle bucket from in front of the tent. the tent is upstairs in a small A frame house. so there is only a couple feet between the face of the tent and a 45 degree angled wall.
The Robo pheno isn't really the robo pheno,it looks to be a strange cross between the meth and robo.The buds look like they will be much looser than the mini meth. crazy when she was so much closer to the light. ya this won't be the best grow iv had this year! smells damn good though and is just covered in trics, so whatever will they last us till the next grow. Changed my mind on the next grow. I will be doing fast buds Gorilla Glue. anyhow ill throw up a terrible pic of the larf and found bud later.

Great pics man! i love the look of that hydro grown juicy bud! , have you considered Lst instead of working with a screen? i only have a small set-up with no control bucket but i run synthetics so even with one and a screen i'd be in trouble with salts pretty promptly i imagine.However i'm finding it quite good hard work but i can use a chair if i like ..again man well done!!

Thanks! Ya I used to use lst instead.But once they grow out past their pot to far I ran out of things to tie them down to. autos can't really do a true scrog as the branches get too stiff to train under the screen at the onset of stretch. So i just use it as something to tie the branches to once stretch starts. I grow 1rst-3rd weeks with no screen or training. then on the third week I remove the bottom two branches and do the LST base train to get them ready for the screen. I tie the base of the plant in one direction and the top in the other. I then soak the cuttings in a solution of seaweed for 24 hours. after the 24 hours. I make a fresh angled cut at the bottom of the cutting, dip in honey and push into my rockwool starter & toss under cheasy cfl for 7-14 days.If I don't see roots in 10 days I give em a quick spray with bonide blossom set. it will ruin any lateral branching on the cutting but it stops it from yellowing and push's roots in a day or so. anyway that's about what Y'all missed earlier in the grow and will see soon enough starting my next. Oh and about a week left on the one still in there.Hope my new Beans get here soon!
Oh ya. I will be getting a new res this time around!! I have been using a 18 gallon tote. it only holds about 13 gallons comfortably or 14 over full. It is just to small a volume so I have to stay on it constantly.sorta defeats the purpose of a res yo. So i am buying a 30 gallon open head drum. should be able to load like 26 gallons so twice the volume.TDS should be a lot more stable.

And colder which is an added bonus
Oh by the way i know what you mean trying to figure out how to tie them down is becoming a right pain in the ass but im using them against themselves, by tieing them to themselves which helps a bit.

Stoked,Chuffed,Tickled,Thrilled,Shocked and surprised all Describe the mini meth final weight,and my reaction. I pulled just over 1/4 pound. I have weighed it twice and its 135G + some i didn't weigh. to fluffy and such. I lent my sister my kindle she will bring it back later today and i'll get some pics on the scale. The big one could come down any time now. but my seeds won't be here till next week so I may let it go a little longer.She has almost taken over the whole box. mostly from getting floppy.

Oh ya just to be clear there will be more weight loss as the buds cure. but there won't be too much cause I vape the whole way through the cure time. I love the changing flavors as the weed cures.

Ok heres the pics! first up the weigh in. or was bouncing.
I really am happy with this. this thing was tight! and it was over 2' from the main light. I threw a 55w cfl down there for her but I've done that befor it's more of a gesture than a solution! anyhow yay!!!

Crazy pheno.This is NOT the robo pheno.The buds are crazy loose endless foxtails. Frosty and lots of em tho. still calling for 6 z's if the buds were fuller id say 10-12. but she might surprise me. they are long!

BC Edit: Fun fact!! the big bud is NOT the main top. that's the big one closest the camera.

 

[brokencage]

Thought I would toss up a few of the cuttings outside + some scenery.

 

[brokencage]

Ok I took the big one today. today makes 12 weeks day 84. I don't have a clue how much i'm gonna pull. This is crazy lose shit,but there is a metric fiuck ton of it. the deep freeze in this pic is 5' long. Anyway i'm gonna take most the day to manicure this i'll get a few more pics up as i go.

 

[brokencage]

Well I didn't bother with to many more pictures. this camera sucks.I will have a camera before the end of this next grow!! My dry box is smack full. so I should be able to stretch dry time out to 10-14 days. thats nice! anyway im happy. it's enough to keep us in meds. I'll get a proper smoke report after things have mellowed awhile.I will also get a final weight once it's done drying. anyhow i'll start posting the next grow just as soon as my seeds get here!

BC Edit: Oh ya lots of FrostyTrim and Larf for hash. so I will do a bubble run at some point soon!
