Aye, I know I miss out on yield maybe one day ille read up and come up with some soil,hydro, bubble thing hybrid lol I pretty much think you can do that sure I seen one in the past, you do know my 3ltr pot is gonna kick your arse in the mephisto comp ,,OK ille take that back!

yeah man thats @ Ash-a-Ton thas got that set up. apparently auto-pots are the way forward for that sort of thing. basically a plant pot sitting in water i think but the guys are pulling trees off them like.

well, i was planning to taking it easy on them for the first wee while but ive reached a cross roads where i need to chop now or forever hold my peace.
so, ive cranked the led up from 270w to 540w. topped em up with some extra nutes. brought ph down to 5.7 so i can leave them alone for a few days to recover afterwards and will be very much dishing out some abuse tomorrow morning just before lights out, providing my calculations are right anyway. also took my heaters out as not needed so gonna save about £15 in my total grow costs lol. yaay : )

as we can see though, my dwc big bud isnt doing very well. she's looking pretty sad and not praising the blurple gods like the other 2. based on this happening at the same size my last grow in nft and me fixing it by putting a 2w air stone. im gonna say i havent got enough air flow in the dwc with my 4w pump. we'll see what happens over the next few days. she may escape the chop if she doesnt improve quickly. there something funny going on with the roots aswell but again, ill just leave it and see.

cheers buddy and welcome along to my water garden. im not convinced about the dwc plant but shel be leaving for a new home in 5 weeks anyway to make room for the meph comp. i thought it would just behave like my nfts but its came with its own set of problems apparently. doesnt even keep the same temp as the nfts even though the water level is the same. its driving me mad already lol.

well i bloody enjoyed that : ) a/u (top) and hbss have now been fimmed and the bb (bottom) has been topped.
i really wanted to mainline the a/u but i shat out once it got to scissor time. ah well. maybe next time. budelee starting a mainline journal soon so im gonna follow that along and see if it gives me the confidence. thought i could do it but it just seems so brutal. fighting against 30*+ tent and res temps at the minuit aswell so if anyones got any advice for iether please feel free to share. cos im fookin stumped lol

day 19 now and my dwc looks like shes gonna die on me. shes just not as tough as the other 2. fried her with nutes and her roots dont look to good. shes an experiment anyway. only really bothered about my nfts but gonna try sort her out with some orca, insulation, frozen bottles to lower the res temp and maybe an extra air pump. just for a wee point of reference the wee one is my a/u in nft at day 19 last time : ) well happy with my progress : )

View attachment 781525 View attachment 781526 well guys, your probably gonna start hurling rocks at me but im gonna strap on my big boy panties and say it anyway......
"i am not impressed with mephisto".....
.... ahh im still alive, thank feck lol.
the hbss has had exactly the same conditions, air supply, nutes, temps, res temps, fim, each got the same lights, equaly share of the fan, everything i can think of is the same.....
just went to start training and she snapped at the bottom of her puny 4mm wide trunk. a/u on the other hand, with her 15mm trunk. well, shes just begging for abuse. yield is paramount for me and i just dont think the meph is gonna cut it this time around. nearly a third of the way through her life already and after a good start she is really looking pretty poor by comparrison. a/u is destroying her already and will live for an extra 20 or so days. im not slating mephisto, i have absolutely no doubt that it will be a massively superior smoke to the a/u. by every account ive seen the hbss is a fucking belter of a smoke but i really dont like face melters so its not important to me. i want beasts!
