yeah i figured you had to be moving a fair bit. big fan of bubbles here.

I did a solution change and flush the other day.

The 2 gallons of clear RO water I used for flush is almost as dark as the old solution.

The humidity is a little high ad was corrected.

That's all folk's.

Do you also check the temperature/humidity levels at canopy level periodically? When I did mine last grow, before it went hermie, mine looked much like yours does now (only took me four to do what you've done with one plant, lol), and I found that it was almost as if the tent had two different environments, one below the screen and one above the canopy. Do you find that as well?

it's common in most grows.
there's been some research done suggesting the surface of leaves create a very tiny localized micro - climate as well.

Let's go

 

[Thirvnrob]

Thank you, but what is impressive is you building your own outdoors grow room. How cool is that.

Thanks, building stuff is easy for me. Lux, Par, Lumens, Joules, PH, PPM, VPD, etc, not so much…

 

[Matrix848484]

Hey boys I'm new to the forum , I'm doing dwc for the first time just seems like its a growing very slow or maybe I just need to be more patient I'll try sending a few pics ,would love a few opinions. Thanks p.s let's go lol

First, let me welcome you to 420 Magazine @Matrix848484

There are plenty of great DWC grower on the site, but you need to help us help you.
The roots look healthy enough.

Do you take images everyday?

Too start
What strain? Indica dominant?
What is your ppm's?
What is your ph?
How often do you change your solution?
Solution temperature?
What nutrient line are you using?

If you start a grow journal wee will be able to follow along and help if needed.

Good Morning @Jon

I actually check below, on top, and above the canopy. The majority of the time you will only see the one below the canopy, which often will be the highest on humidity.

@Matrix848484

I just notice the size of your bucket; 60 liters/15+ gallons is a large bucket to do solution changes.

How big do you want this plant to be?

Today's update day 21 from the switch to 12/12.

Tonight when the lights come on I will show you how I defoliate. Last night I was cleaning up under the canopy; there is no trim during this process. All the leaves that I have been pushing down in the canopy away from the light are being reject by the plant itself. If done properly the plant receives little or no stress from the event. The first image is cleaning up under the canopy, then you will see some images of what will be removed.

This is a light cleanup from last night, tonight I get busy.

What will be trimmed tonight. This is all below the canopy that will drain nutrient from the top buds. This stuff would become popcorn buds if allow to stay.

This will be opened up for better air follow. This is also, why I prefer scrogging Sativa strains over Indica's, it get real tight under the canopy.

These images are from the last three day's.

@ViparSpectra XS-2000

That's all folk's

More to come in a couple days after trimming.

Stay safe, and Grow well my friends,

Tok..

Is this one plant?

 

[Tokin Roll]

Thanks for stopping by @Ljb1

One is all I can get in the tent when I do DWC in a 4x4 tent, but I will be placing two or three soil plants in there soon, they are waiting for their time under the light.
No scrog on soil grow this time, may be next soil grow.

She is currently building some nice sticky buds.

Hello toks thanks for the welcome man I don't take pics everyday usually but I'll give you some specs to see what you think thanks

Strain - Super skunk
Ppms - Around 900-1000
Ph - 6.0
Solution temp has around been around 80
Nutrient line is canna classic
I haven't change the solution yet its been around 2 weeks ,do I need to change it if the ppm and pH levels haven't changed and stayed stable? Its got a small bucket inside the 60L bin but once the roots got longer I was just going to fill the 60l up with the soultion. I wanted to try and get 1 pound off each plant I got 1000w light atm and was going to add another once the plants got more established.thanks again for the reply

P.s let's grow

 

[Tokin Roll]

Couple things.
Ph is fine , but anything over 72 degrees in the bucket increases your chances for root rot. Get your solution temp down to around 68 degrees.

Get into the habit of changing your solution every 5 to 7 days.

How much aeration do you have for that size container?

Hope this helps.

OK I'll try to keep the water cooler , I got a 20L bucket inside the 60L bucket as a res bucket once the roots got longer I was going to start filling the 60L.The roots look pretty healthy but it's early days , can I have the water lever 100-200mm from the netted basket or should it be touching it?? Thanks man

 

[Tokin Roll]

@Matrix848484 If it were me I would keep the water around 10 to 20mm (1/2 to1 inch.) below the basket.

Have you did a DWC grow before?
It's not hard, but you need to pay attention to the growing conditions.

edit: Forgot to mention your lady does look happy currently.

 

[Rexer]

Matrix- you're gonna love the SuperSkunk, she's a bit of a stretcher though- heads up!

 

[Matrix848484]

Nah I haven't done it before only drip system. Do you even trim the roots abit if they get out of control? what system do you use ?
