Dragon Meds McB's Russian Dragon grow

[MrMcbud]

bloody water level hole is leaking and i cant find the rubber grommets,glued it for now,once dry i will do a leak test and start prepping the res.
don't think i will be able to move the bigger dragon as she is in a bigger net pot to begin with,will try but may have to cut the pot around the roots.
Ohh...and my ecuador spores get posted on Monday

 

[MrMcbud]

All bits bought,got 3 cylinder airstones,an in res thermometer and a proper grommet,T piece and tap for the water level/drain.
Pics to follow tonight...
my media pc case,as well as 120g of royal blue thai X "something sativa" have just landed in my lap...so i am a tad distracted

 

[MrMcbud]

DWC tub is in,ended up taking a grinder to the elbows i had and they work perfectly.
Have got 3 cyclinder airstones,1 per pot.
The stunted soil dragon,the dwc dragon and a Chaze X Santa have moved in
(Bit early for full nutes on the ChazeXSanta,but roots aren't touching yet,so i will top feed by hand for now)
Bought a valve for the water level/drain but it leaks too,so buggrit


Water EC to start was .31
currently at EC 1.55 with full nutes so:
EC in 25l-water EC = 1.24(625ppm)
PH 5.8(should i keep it there or drop a bit?)

~Sweet set up McB

 

[MrMcbud]

Thank u kindly
DWC was amazingly cheap n easy to put together.
cab...that was another story entirely!
considering a strip down and rebuild when i move in may,sisalation looks shite due to chopping and changing cab setup(cab be up to 3 seperate,lightproof sections)
looking at a cooltube for my 400w hps hiding in my cupboard,cant use it during summer,so its all cfl for now

 

[MrMcbud]

Ironically,the 2 on left and middle are the same age,I'm hoping to see new life moving it from soil to dwc

Great looking DIY DWC, amazing the differences you see from soil/soiless/hydro on this site. Goodluck man!:smokebuds:

 

[MrMcbud]

I cant attribute that difference to soil vs hydro VapedAs.
the little one stunted at about week 2,not sure why,wasnt transplanted or anything?
might be going batty but i think its goin male on me,if so its a gonner,already have an RD male to play with
Starting to see some burn/def colouration on lower leaves of the oldest dragon,once it develops i should be able to see where its pointing.(i think micro nute lockout,considering dropping ph to 5.6/7?)

 

[MrMcbud]

PH dropped to 5.6 to see if that resolves the suspected micro lockout.
Smallest dragon looks to be male,giving it a day or two to let em hang out and its a goner.
The Larger male was getting a tad ungainly and top heavy,so i have topped him and taken the off cut for pollen harvest.
trimmed as per clone and popped into a glass of water,as it dries the pollen will fall.
pity tho,my Santa auto is just passed last chance for pollination,i managed to find 1 white pistil on the entire plant(3cm long!!!!)
(chopped the larger buds and main cola,popped em into drying)
Changed air stone setup as the third cyclinder was underpowered.
Swapped out pumps with a dual outlet and connected 2 cylinder stones,each to its own outlet.
Have started tucking the fans on the oldest RD to incourage lower site growth,also supercropped the main stem accidentally(actually,i sat on it...yes sat on it!)
Luckily it was while i was doing a res change and it fell into the bucket i was using to air out the roots
till no lady bits,but structurally "she" looks to be a lady(compared to males)
No new pics as yet

You did right dropping the pH McBud... In DWC keep pH @ 5.6-5.7 in veg & 5.8-5-9 in flower..
