DIY CFL Deep Water Culture Grow A

Yeah, they used to be bad when I first got the system but they upgraded the quality and it comes with washers for front and back and plumber's tape installed on the threads. I got the 5 for the price of 4 deal and replaced them all on my three res and have a couple of extras for buckets in case I need them.
 
I like that better than the one I got from SH, you can screw a hose to it !! I've got a piece of hose on mine but it just presses on and it will slip off if your not carefull. So do you still have all five in your res. ? That can get very crowded, are you going to switch soon ? I've run out of room for mine last fem to grow any taller ! My lights are at the top can't go up anymore and the branches are a little too thick to try to bend so I've been putting hooks in the wall and have been trying to pull them here and there !! Just another few wks and I can actually smoke some of home grown!!
 
Alright looks like we had a good night.

Thing look much better today, PH stayed at 6.0 since lowering it yesterday morning. Growth appears to have restarted and everything looks and smells healthy. All new growth is nice and green and no new spots at all. I added some rolled up towels and cups of water everywhere to raise humidity. I am going to get a cheap humidifier very soon. The plants are wet because I had just misted them with some plain ph'd water. They are dry within 10 or so minutes.

Here is an overall view

This top I guess wasn't cut cleanly enough? But it is now growing just very bushy. I would Love to get some opinions on this.

This is probably my cleanest topping

Another good one. Again these tops took a couple of days. I think because of the lack of humidity, change of nutes and rising ph but the last 24 hours seems to have gone very well

Thanks to everyone who has helped me through my recent problems and hopefully things are on there way now.
 
Looks like those Calvin Kleins did the trick.;) Amazing how much a little Cannabis Plant can take, And come back strong and more Vibrant. Great job MataGrowa.:cheer: So what one did not like being crew cut, she will get over it.:grinjoint:

Yeah I like that you can screw the hose onto it, but like I said I don't know when I bought it or for what reason. I assume it was bought at home depot because I pretty much buy everything like that there but I haven't seen it there on any of my recent trips. I am still rolling with all five girls in the one res, I really don't have anywhere else to put em so they will just have to be crowded. I guess it's not a bad problem to have. Next grow I will probably only go with four in the res but I expected to kill at least a couple of them this time. I am at 24 days from seed right now so probably another 10 days to two weeks till I switch I guess. Glad to hear you are getting close to that home grown smoke. I know I am really looking forward to that day.
 
Oh, how I love Bud Porn!! (Plant Porn!)

That is Adriana (Dinafem Blue Hash) I don't think it was that she didn't like being cut as much as it wasn't a clean cut but there is all kinds of growth coming out of there so I'll just let her do what she gotta do I guess. I'm just real happy to have em all looking happy and healthy again. I fell like they have big smiles on their faces this morning and so do I.
 
hey mata. they are def looking way better. tops came out nicely. keep it up. oh yeah if you go to walmart for a humidifier dont get the $25 they suck. i bought one then went out and bought the $40 one and it works 100% better. i'm keeping my veg room at around 63% rh withe the $40 one if i close the doors i cand get it up to 70%.
 
Mata, Nice looking grow, I'd be carefull about vegging too long with all 5 plants in there. Maybe make another res for 3 of them !? , but if you let them veg they will jump out of the closet on ya !!

Mata, Thats only 4 plants 3 had to be taken out (males) and that was no picnic !!!Good luck Mata, do try to get another res started and split them up if you can...
 
Well looks like the pics are mixed up Sorry guy I was going to post a pic of 4 climbing out of my closet...oh well
 
Looks like the folks at SH listens to the complaints about the drains and responded with a better product. Same drain, just prepped better for the real world.

Yes, they did, I just wish they'd listen to the complaints about shipping delays and incomplete shipments. Seems you always have to tell them what they left out, and they always have a good excuse, but it happens too much.
Twice I got something EXTRA I did not order, and several times, I had something left out.
I am very HIGH on the Deep Water Culture product, I really believe it is the fastest growing sytem, and the Customer Service does great on fixing their errors. They just make a lot of errors.
The owner tells me they hire "challenged" employees, as one excuse. They hire from some "handicapped" organization. And the owner stays gone alot too, on the road. While the cat is away, the mice will play. When I first met found them, it was two brothers working out of the house. Now they have a warehouse and a dozen employees. The brother moved out of the country,

Looks like you might have done a "FIM" cut by accident... which is kind of how it was discovered judging by what FIM stands for... "F**k I Missed"

A FIM cut will give you four or more growing tips instead of just two like a regular topping.
 
I tried fimming and they were right f--- I missed was right on, however I did get two tops and I did this at least 4 times on the one plant it worked great unfortunatly I ended up with a very bushy male plant !! Oh well I will do it again and this time I'm DUE for all females !! I'm about 3 1/2 wks into flowering with my last female !! The pic that showed up above a few posts was about a 4-5 days ago it's fat'ning up nicely !! Just started the last 4 ak48 seeds last night, hope there all females this time .. And this time I left out the bubbler lines and just raised the water level so it's just splashing on the grow pots , less hassle having to get the pump out later...( well see ) :peace:
