Crashdog's 1st Grow Journal - How To Torture Small Leafy Things - DWC

[Crashdog]

Ya, I got to look into that.

wont be starting a new grow till the fall.

Got 3 WW clones airpots outside that will probably get moved to tent after LH is done. Want to get new roof but don't want to have plants outside when it's getting worked on. they might end up walking away.

Hay PW

you heard of any good strains for Leg cramps? I was up 3 times last night after VB

 

[Pennywise]

A good strong indica like Indica Aurora, bubba kush maybe

 

[Crashdog]

ahh thanks,
I'll have to get some. Leg cramps are killers. The older I get the worse they get.

Welcome to my Journal
Let me start out by saying I am a HORRIBLE Gardner. Most of my shit dies. Outdoors, I'll plant 3 pots of cukes, 3 in a pot into 3 hills (9 F'n plants) and maybe get 15-20 cukes. My folks will take one pot, divide it up into 1 plant per hill - 3 hills, and get over 100 cukes.

So I decided to go hydroponics. I never even heard about hydro till Nov when i was reading about the new MA legalization laws. But reading about growing weed and Hydro was very interesting so I was hooked.

So here is the basic of my grow equipment
4x4 tent
2 - Mars Hydro 600's
4 — 5 gal buckets for DWC. 2 home made. When I was looking for parts I found a grow store 3 miles from my home so I bought 2 pre made Buckets.
Rapid Rooters
Fox Farm for hydro Nutes.

(lots of cutting and pasting from my offline journal)

Our Journey begins on the evening of Feb 4th

-2/4 — 8:00 pm - All Seed soaking in their own glass of WARM Water
-2/5 — 6:30 am
o White Widow (Nirvana) and AK-47 sank with a finger tap 10.5 hours later. The other 2 did not.
o Gold Leaf sank by 8:00 AM the other White Widow did not
-2/5 — 8:30 am - Planted seeds in upside down Rapid Rooter and put in small Dome. Put in tent on heating pad with lights out.
-2/7 - 6:45 am — 2 sprouted - AK47 and WW-Nirvana
-2/7 - Early afternoon the Gold Leaf sprouted with helmet attached
-2/7 - Moved the CFL over the germination hut. It was about 10"- 15" away. Cord was too short.
-2/7 - Turned on LED and left at 47" for about 6 hours. Dropped it down to 36" before I went to bed.
**edit* WTF was i thinking? why was i doing this in my tent? It was a CFL with a clamp. I could of done this anywhere and got the bulb closer.
oPut drops of water on GL casing and a little spit before I went to bed
-2/8 - I pulled of the casing with my finger

Here is a picture with her helmet on.

The 2nd WW never sprouted.
Pic of my 3 first born. ( **Edit** why did i use LED lighting for this pic?**)

2/8 I soaked another White Widow in a glass over night.

I had to move the other 3 gals to the DWC buckets so i could use the dome. (**edit** this is a lie. I put them in the DWC before dropping sowing that 2nd WW. Was I drinking?)

Nice set up!

Wendy was the biggest bar far.

The Gold Leaf was ok but I don't think I would purchase it again.
