Basement Dwellers Kush Diesel Chunk Hydro Grow

[basementdwell]

Hi KK hope ur grow is heading in the right direction. Look through this thread i ve since purchased a chiller. forget what size think 10th. the 8th i herd was too little to do much work and would only do a 5 deg cooling which wouldnt work for my resv.

Well got a call from where my flower box is at and my friend wasn't very happy my bubble bucket i just changed yesterday, popped out her feed line dam 4 gal of water rained into the room below. Dam and i thought i checked it before i left last night DAM was he pissed. SO CHECK ALL air and feed line after doing bucket changes. At first i though it was my ro system springing a leak from the cold but was actually my negligence. SO DOUBLE CHECK MAYBE EVEN TRIPLE CHECK. Looks like i be primer/painting this wkend

that 8ball kush looks mighty tasty! bro a buddy of mine jsut finsihed up sum std also, i been shopping around for a chiller , im already gettin tired off switchin out frozen ice bottles to maintain my res temps,lol but so far that controller i picked up is pretty awsome! hopefully now that i got my envirorment in check,the girls will relax and get back to growing.. and pretty sure im gonna jsut go with all r/o instead of using my tap/ro mix, atleast that way i know exactly how much of what is in my water and its consistent.

"m already gettin tired off switchin out frozen ice bottles to maintain my res temps"

Yea thats one problem with hydro, I am having to run heaters to keep mine from getting to cold when i am lights out, one problem with being in a basement/garage. ive insulated my flower box and running a space heater to maintain 68 but the water is harder to heat.

 

[basementdwell]

Ok got to run but wanted to wish every one a HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR. Let also hope this is the year for our elected officals to pull their heads out of their asses and realise that MJ should be legal and readily available to ease the pain n suffering to any one who chooses to use it, So with that said PUFF PUFF. talk to u all next year

Hi KK hope ur grow is heading in the right direction. Look through this thread i ve since purchased a chiller. forget what size think 10th. the 8th i herd was too little to do much work and would only do a 5 deg cooling which wouldnt work for my resv.

are you sure on that? i would tend to belive the 8th would be larger or preduce more cooling than the 10th. basically the smaller the 1/XX the more power full as its gettin close to 1.0 acutal hp.. i could be wrong tho??? gonna have to start lookin in to one sooner than later, wifes already bitchin about all the "water bottles" in the freeze, not to mention swapping em out every 2-6hrs.. any how the bud porn looks amazing bro keep up good work, i had thought about gettin some 8ball kush seeds after seen the pics i still do,lol

 

[basementdwell]

yea i maybe wrong on the 10 over the 8th ?? Basically i was in the market for my chiller and was looking at ice probes and smaller units but went with the hydrofarm 1/10. if u search chiller on amazon u will see 1/13 one up to a hp and 2 hp units very costly. be careful some chillers require a pre-filter, thats why i went with the hydrofarm one. the water cooler will do a 5gal bucket but wouldnt do a thing for a 10g resv. so i got the 1/10 in hopes of running a 10-15g resv come spring.
thank u the 8 ball k is one of my favs well this was first time growing it but its what i want short, branchy, and huge budds. Its perfect for my space my problem is i rushed to get it into the flower box and put all my cutts from it into tray 2 i have to double check but i think i may have to start a new bean or reveg one from my 2nd tray so stupid. I am liking the vanilla kush but its was very stretchy compared to the 8 ball. got to get my box cleaned up so i can get tray 1 up and running again clear out the veg box and get some new beans going. I still got a pineapple chunk bean and possibly another 8 ball bean so sprout. Temps are dipping here and i am just waiting to see if i can sustain my box through it well late for work have to go

 

[basementdwell]

well short on time again got some pics for u all reconfig the flower box this past wkend got tray 2 under the 600 added another 150 hps over the van bubble bucket and had to remove my t5s i cant for the life of me figure out why i cant get them working ?? i ve tried a new ballast, checked the wiring, tried swapping bulbs ?? i am dumb founded. basically when i plug the ballast in two of 4 light will flicker and then it cutts out ?? my buddy who got it for me said to try new end caps ?? but ive checked the wiring to the end cap and they ohm out ok ?? any how the vanilla kush is flushing and doing better had to remove a lot of leaves due to def or nute burn still dont know ?? but she almost fully cloudy a few amber's i probably wait till 50% maybe 75% amber then chop. tray 2 is full and going ape shite. I added way to many plants, that were veged to long. then it was buried in the back of the flower box to maintain oh and 3 different strains to top it all off. Ive got strawberry diesel, 8 ball kush and some vanilla kush. the std N vanilla have taken over but the 8ball look the best in the tray. I am at a loss BC i didnt keep a 8ball in veg so after tray 2 is done i am gonna try reveg-ing one of the 8 balls hopefully keep it alive enough to veg again n get a cutt fingers crossed. I also did some mid winter cleaning in the veg closet, i ve tried to keep my moms small n healthy but they are taking over so i kept 3 vanilla K's, 3 st D's. My plan is to keep one cutt of each when i reload tray 1 in the flower box. I ve been trying to top them n keep em small but running 24 hrs light that almost impossible. thinking of cutting light to 18-6 and taking a cutts only when the tray in flower goes into flush. That way my cutts only get 2wks to pop roots n grow before moving into the flower box ? how do u all time it ? Although april i will be taking a couple extra cutts to go out doors gonna veg for 1 month then move into flower for two wks n then move em out so hopefully they will stay in flower ? any how enough talking here are the pics

Lookin good. Bro! That 8bal looks so tasty,lol well I found a light leak in my res. So that explains my ph swings. Res. Had brown alge in it, but the girls are doin better now, ill try to getsum pic tonight, I also modifyd my dwc and added a drip system.. they still seem very short! The good thing bout were I'm @ is its cold enuff that I can keep m light about 8 inch from canopy andmaintain max tep of 87 . So I'm ondering if that's why.. well see what this eeks brings.. this will b wk 6 fr seed crackin which I honestly feel they shld b like 3 times this size.

 

[basementdwell]

give it a little more time KK how r the beans u just cracked doing ? and how are the roots ? any color changing or slime ?

Update i was in the flower box yesterday and looking @ my vanilla kush budds and decided to take a closer look at the trichs and I found a few ambers SO thank god i started flushing this past water change. I think i flushed the roots 2 water changes ago too, Think i may start doing a flush every 3 resv changes even if i just let them get a day or two of ro water then add nutes in it really seemed to help flush the grodan cube. i post some new pics tomorrow

 

[Kush Killer]

Well they were looking good but. We decided to put our house on the market ad so I had to end the grow as I obviously can't show the house with a indoo garden. :-( so lookis like it'll be afew months b4 I can make another attempt. Altho I added sum sper nova 2 res few days ago and it instantl started creating large amounts o foam! So much it was pushing thru my net pots out the sealed liof res. I had 2 up plug air pumps 2 stop the foam production... any idea why or what would have cuased that?

 

[basementdwell]

well vanilla is almost ready on wk2 of flush. tray two is way packed and not looking great. I got some leaves turning purple, think it maybe the strawberry diesel. The 8 ball kush in tray two is doing well and has some nice buds

well short update today. I ve axed the vanilla kush in the bubble bucket And tray 2 is soon to follow. I got some nice pics of one of the strawberry diesels fans set which have started to turn purple very nice colors. Also sprouted a bean of the pineapple chunk and a another 8ball kush. Got a couple vanilla kush N std cuts waiting for space in the flower box. I think i am gonna shut down the flower box for febuary. The dam heaters are sucking me dry well here are some pics

well sad to say but here is my end of tray two

gonna have to shut my flower box down for a couple wks and clean up. The price to heat the out side is costing way to much. I ve since sprouted my last 8 ball bean and mt last pineapple chunk bean. they are doing well and i ve got a couple vanilla sprouts going The STD was good and all not a great giver got 2 oz from tray one and little over 4 oz from 5 clones in tray two. It tasted great but not right for my space constrictions. I found the best to be the 8ball kush I got almost 4 z from the first plant in tray one N almost 4zs from 3 clones in tray two the vanilla in the Bubble bucket gave 3z, I like the taste and looks but she was a branchy and didnt fill in as i though the 8 ball did ?? Any how i be posting a update as soon as the little ones are ready to move in to the flower box. Hope all is well in 420 land

OK Sorry for the lack of info over the past couple wks. I ve been so busy trying to get the flower room set up for the next round before summer temps set in Well added some new item to the room and gonna throw in another set of 4' X4 bulb t8s for the other side of the box. i got a ap-40 for air supply for the resv. ? for the guys running these flood and fill tray and 27gal tough boxes how many gal do u use ? i ran 20 gal the last run and kinda went through a couple qts of nutes kinda wondering if i could get away with 15 gal ? gonna also add a float valve to keep her water level up. Well kinda thinking of a 15g nute mix and top off to 20gal with ro ? or 20 gal with 75% of recommended nutes ? i am using the general hydro expert schedule with hydrozyme, calamag+ and every other resv change i add subcultures. any ideas ?

sorry its old pic just wanted for those to see the resv & tray set up i am using
