Mars-Hydro DWC 1 Plant 4x4 Scrog

[Tokin Roll]

Step Two

Getting her ready too go under the net. Let the weaving begin.

If you notice the center of the plant watch what happens with a bowl shape scrog.

Step Three

As she fills in and stretch's the branches need to be weaved between the net

Step Four

Enjoy the site of a full net.

This was a smaller net, I thing a 36x36.

So a little side step in the journal.

How do you celebrate 4.20.

I play 420 darts, which is a game I made up about 5 years ago.

You have to be a real smoker to play, because it can get as high as 10 joints per player, per game.

So two people that try and we (son & I) do, we will smoke a joint each to start.

We both start at 420 and the next smoke number is 320, then 220, 120,20 and game ending smoke.

When you land on a smoke number play stops until after you both smoke. When my son and I play we normally smoke about 9 to 10 joints for one game of count down with special stops.

So what will you do to celebrate 4.20?

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

My anniversary is 420. We celebrate hard.

 

[Michael Hunt]

We Just smoke a lot over here to celebrate. But it sounds like we need to go get a dart board

 

[Tokin Roll]

We normally only play one game, then we need a break and drink some.

My anniversary is 420. We celebrate hard.

So are you going to give the better half a assortment of buds?

My wife birthday is on the first, so once she gets her second shot we're going out to dinner and a movie.

Dinner and a movie does sound great. Feels like ages since we been out like that.

 

[Tokin Roll]

@Dusty Kiefers you know the way to a girls heart.

I have not got around to making hash yet, but it's coming.

Dinner and a movie does sound great. Feels like ages since we been out like that.

We don't get out that much, so when we go out for dinner and a movie it's nice.

Then we going home and get stoned.

Happy 420 all.

I get high with a little help from my friends.

My son bought that shirt, I told him I wanted one; but they were all sold out when he looked again.

I have only been doing DWC for a few years or so, and the three most important things I can tell you is:

1. You have to know what is going on with your bucket. temp, ph, ppm's are a good start.

2. With DWC/ Hydro period you can loose a plant allot quicker than most other mediums; so patience plays a key part
of success. Pay attention to the leaf development.

3. Just because I listed this third, does not mean that if you are not aware of your tent/grow area environment it will terminate your little lady just as fast.

Nutrients play a part when needed, but like I said when needed.

Tok..

So out of curiosity, where does your plant go while pumping nutes in & out while doing a res change ? Seems like you would need a 2nd bucket to set the plant in while changing the res so not to leave the roots in the light very long.
When I did DWC I had a 2nd bucket for each plant & just swapped buckets out for a res change. Have you used this method before ? I'm just thinking a water pump in the same container with roots will get clogged up by the roots. But I've never tried that method so don't know 1st hand.

Thanks for stopping by @Buds Buddy. Too answer your questions, I have switched out the buckets during solution changes.
Once it goes under the scrog net it stays there. I have a airline size hole drilled near the top of the buck and I use a 60 or 70 cc syringe to inject nutrient into the solution. If you are wondering, I do have a hose that drops about half way down inside the bucket.
With DWC and only doing one plant in a 4x4 net it can get tight in the tent. That's the main reason my plant have long stems; to elevate the net high enough to work under it.

Seems like you would need a 2nd bucket to set the plant in while changing the res so not to leave the roots in the light very long.
When I did DWC I had a 2nd bucket for each plant & just swapped buckets out for a res change. Have you used this method before ?

Changing buckets would make my process a lot easier, for solution changes, flush roots, nutrient feed, solution temperatures and more.
When I do a solution change, it is normally lower water level and I drain about 3 gallons, after preparing the solution, I place a pump inside the new solution and fill her up.

I'm just thinking a water pump in the same container with roots will get clogged up by the roots. But I've never tried that method so don't know 1st hand.

If my three 2x4 air stones get sucked up in the root ball, I can just about guarantee the pump would also.

DWC is an interest way to grow, but it requires daily monitoring (lights on and before light s off); but I enjoy watching how fast they can grow.

The only problem I have with growing only one plant at a time is, if the seed is not strong, I sometimes grow it out any ways to fill my jars.

Hope this helps.

Happy 420 Tok

Thanks for stopping by GG.

I will probably hookup the Bestva soon, my TSW-2000 isn't big enough to flower my tent without a little help.

Have you hooked up your new Mars-Hydro light yet? She a beauty and I am jealous, but in a good way.

Tok..

Sorry for the late reply. I did hook up the light. It's pretty impressive and the light distribution is really even. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do flowering something

Your 420 game sounds really cool. I usually head down to the local park with some friends/family/whoever and get blazed with the other random people who have turned up. This year, we just did it in the garden with those closest to us, it was good fun. Some normality. Something that has been missing for quite some time.

That's a bummer about the timer. I've had this happen before too. It's one of those moments, all you can do, is slap your hand against your forehead, close your eyes and laugh. She looks like a nice size though. Hopefully she proves herself so you let her stick around

 

[Tokin Roll]

@GoogleGenie it's all cool.

I am currently smoking some 7 month cure Green Crack that is kicking my butt.

I'll post some bud images once I come down,

Oh, I forgot yes I set up the light, but I was not able to use it.

My current grow turnout to be a weak plant, it happens.
So, I have one in the veg tent that will make an appearance in due time.

Be cool, stay safe, and grow well, brother.

[Tokin Roll]

This is what I was smoking the other night.

6 month cured Green Crack.

 

[Rexer]

This is what I was smoking the other night.

6 month cured Green Crack.

Looks great Tok! I've yet to have enough stock to make it to the 6 month cure (ill be adding that to the Bucket List!)

Hows the grow going?
