Hi, welcome to my new journal.

I had some problems in the last few weeks. I learned the hard way that with a DWC I need a check valve.
My third Amnesium was doing great until one day I check and she was all dried! I open the bucket and it was empty!! :eek:
One tube was disconnected from the pump and all the water was sucked out!! o_O She died and I had 700$ of water damage. No clones, no seeds. :rolleyes:

So I bought some new seeds, waiting and waiting, too long I bought other seeds elsewhere. I received them, then the first one died... And now this is the second one, there's hope!

It's a Purple Widow, a cross between a Purple Kush and White Widow! It should be nice! :cool: Mostly Sativa with a thc of 19% to 22%.
And it's my first auto, they say it should be ready in 8 to 9 weeks! Let's see about that!

The light is the Mars-Hydro Mars Pro II 80, I put back my T12 fluo and bought some new tubes, 2x warm and 2x cool white (20w each). I set the timer to 17/7.

The tent is a noname from eBay, 2'x2'x5'.
I have a 6" carbon scrubber with an inline fan, a Panasonic FV-20NLF1 WhisperLine 240 CFM with a variac to control the speed. This mix is so quiet!! The tent is inside the closet of my bedroom and I don't hear it at night! :)
There's a little humidifer inside too.

I use the OEM nutrients from the hydro store:
Veg: A (5-0-2) B (1-5-8)
Bloom: A (6-0-3) B (1-4-8)

Here she is at 3 days from seed, she's so little!!


Today she's 7 days old! :love:


Here's my check valve, 5$ each to save a lot!


Here's how to top of the tent look like.


And finally, here's a Mango Chutney feminised that will grow on the side.


:ganjamon:
 
Sorry to hear of your last couple attempts. It is amazing how many things can go wrong. I almost screwed up one of my last grow when i accidently turned off my DWD for 3 days and got root rot.

Looks like a nice setup. If you don't mind I'll be subbing and checking in on your grow.

I live in a condo, 2nd and 3rd floor. The water pass through the wall and went to the ceiling of the common stairs!! I was quite stressed! I make sure that it was repaired fast.
The reason I gave is that I had a bucket of water and my cat spilled it! :laugh:

Yikes... that is quite a mess for sure. I also live in a 3 story townhouse - at least all 3 stories are mine and my grow is on the bottom floor in the garage.

That must have been a huge cat you had ----:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
Found ya. I'll hang out in the chair in the corner.
Cool to see you! but scary avatar! :laugh:

Sold you cat out!! I would be stressed about that water leak too.
I have only grown in soil and I will check out your grow to pick up some tips.
Good luck
I have 2 cats, and one would be big enough to do it! lol!
thanks for stopping by! :)
