Thanks guys, and the best part is that it's been the easiest grow so far. @gwhunran I never would have thought to bring the scrog net down to within 8", but it really made spreading them out in veg easy. Since then it's been all @Prescription Blend and the @VIVOSUN VSF6450.Oh my glittery stars!
Amazing!
Once again @Prescription Blend is really impressing me. I used PB with my 2nd grow in soil. They were easy to use, mixed to the perfect pH, and I was able to stick to their schedule with no additives. All of the plants came out great, with one over 1/2 lb. This time in hydro, they're still easy to use and I'm still just sticking to their schedule. They tend to want to settle around 6.0-6.1pH, and I prefer to keep my res at 5.8. I can't argue with the results, though, so I'm not trying to force the pH lower.
The @VIVOSUN VSF6450 is really making up for an uneven canopy. My old light, the VS4000, worked great with an even canopy and a smaller footprint. With the VSF6450, though, I can put the light at the top of the tent and know that I'm covering the entire tent with 35+ DLI, even Speck way down there in the corner. Sandy, in the back right corner, is 18" away and getting 1000-1200PPFD on her tallest buds.
I went down to give them some water this morning and got lost for 1/2 hour bud-gazing... It's easy to do in this tent

You are such a great advertisement. Those pics are beautiful.
If I was to score this journal outta 10, I’d give you a 10!
Tho to be fair I’m feeling the chillax of my wine and the smiles of my scoob. At this minute I’d probs score Satan himself a solid 7.
Lolllllllllllinggg.

Thanks Trala, so far I'd score this grow a 10 as well. I just hope I can bring it home! And glad to hear you're enjoying your evening, although it sounds like you should probably drink some water before you end up [*Edited by

Thanks Deev. It seems like the grows get easier and easier, especially as I get used to the system. Does that mean it's time to change things up?

Thanks man, they are the biggest buds I've grown so far. I'm still considering supplementing CO2 like you do, but I'm too lazyLooks like a forest with a few monster trees spread about.
Maybe next grow...- Thread starter

Yesterday was res-change day for these ladies. I've been increasing the nutes through flower, as per the @Prescription Blend schedule. On the fifth week, though, the nutes decrease slightly for the ripening phase. The only way to decrease nutes in the RWDC is to change the res. The last res change was when they started flowering, about 30 days ago, so it needed it anyways.
So, I drained the entire system. I used a hose to wash out each bucket and rinse the roots, then completely drained each bucket. Then I filled the whole system back up with 45 gallons of fresh water. And it was still dirty. As a matter of fact, this was by far the dirtiest res I've ever had. The old water came out almost black, and there was a lot of sediment. Even after the system was re-filled there was a lot of sediment. It all smelled 'earthy', and nothing smelled rotten or was slimy. It wasn't root rot, just dirty.
So, I drained it a second time and re-filled it again. It looked much better after refilling. I remember when using PB in soil I tried to mix some up in advance and bubble, and it was the same kind of dirty. I'm going out on a limb and saying that Prescription Blend makes for a dirty res (I think it's the Kelp-ful). I'll also say that if these ladies finish flower like it's started, I'll plan to double-flush the res next time. Because they may look dirty, but the plants LOVE them!

Thanks GDB. Unless these buds are hollow, this looks to be my largest harvest by far. And they still have 2-4 weeks to fatten up!That's a lotta' weed BudMan!
Just imagine if Speck hadn't been bringing up the rear!

Yea, there's still a hole in that back left corner. She'll still produce, but nothing like her sisters. Of course, if she was bigger I'm not sure where she'd go.. the hole isn't that big. Is it time to upgrade to a 5x5?Just imagine if Speck hadn't been bringing up the rear!
I'm sure you'd fill up a 5x5 too. Better check with Team BudMan about it first. A larger tent might cause them to unionize.
That's a city of skyscrapers I'd move into! And it comes with free root porn.
