Good genes I'd say...looking much better today will edit in a bit with a pic. Better temps, one light and good humidity now. They will look better in a week or so once the hlg goes up

I'm sure they will too. I stressed the hell out of everything with the lack of time I had on the last grow. Everyone marched right along like they didn't even need me. lol

And I'll be a testament to that. Fire genetics. Stem rubs still have my eyes rolling backkk...

That's awesome. Are you still playing with Congo?



Thank you for the kind words. Chuckers is definitely filled with so many great growers, yourself included. I'm pretty sure you're kidding, or at least hope so. I hope you keep impregnating females.



See, you're already poised to being one of the richest men during the apocalypse.

I have 50-100 beans from the Congo chuck.. Will pheno hunt someday.. But like I'm getting at.. Too much other cool shit I gotta grow . Seriously tho I don't see myself knocking up ladies for a long while. If I had more room id forever be chucking but after this recent chuck comes to fruition I will be more interested in growing anything from you, @SCJedi , @Schwaggy P , @Heisenbeans , @thenotsoesoteric etc that I can get my sweaty hands on lol

Here's a quick random tent photo shoot from the door last night. It was just a point and shoot session, so I didn't check labels and notate who's pictured. This night time light schedule is messing up my normal routine. Once I get into a better groove soon, I'll start labeling who's who.

Day 24 flower

I also decided to finally try my hand at hydro. I decided on the simple flood and drain system. I expect some growing pains, but if this works out, I can see myself doing a complete change over and using soil minimally if at all. I'm already digging how clean this set up looks.

The back row is Moontang Mystery and the front row is God O War.

Welcome, to the dark side.

Who is it?

Come to the dark side, we have candy
Yes but do you have coffee?
Sure we have coffee, how do you take it?
Black, like my soul

try my hand at hydro.

need some of those 9LB HAMMER XS to get sweaty with some Heathen Hammers , Phylex be slingin some molten lava for fucks sake

Thanks brother. I have a new one that's really peaking my interest right now. These 9lb. Blueberry #2's are fat, and heavy indica leaners. They may be squat so far, but they're very robust, with very nice lateral growth. They ended up being designated for the 2L challenge as a first test/comp plant, but now I really want to get them into flower because I have this overwhelming desire to see them mature.

For reference, here's the difference between #1 and #2

9lb. Blueberry #1 (Hyper Blueberry Blast x 9lb. Hammer)
9lb. Blueberry #2 (9lb. Hammer x Hyper Blueberry Blast)

I'll try to remember to take some current pics of #2 today for an update on the comp thread.

Saying I'm pretty stoked for this venture is an understatement. Thanks @HydroRed and @spyralout

did you build that little flood container unit?

 

[spyralout]

Look at Rom all
Dude. Plan B if your electricity goes out. Hook up a 1/2" line to your drum bass pedal and have a few jam sessions to pump water in there. If you get tired after 36 hrs of zero electricity then dump a buncha water in the tray and call it good

Hmm. I can do the double kicks to really boost em through the stretch

Doooooooit. You know you wanna mang.

I did. I built it with the help of @spyralout and @HydroRed 's tutorial.

I was wondering if that was ol hydro reds design. Was considering checking that out ages ago but i got distracted by a squirrel. Looks right tight as piss!

I can slide/swivel but it gets tiring and it’s hard to do certain tempos besides super fast. I have to admit I cheat a bit with a double pedal occasionally. For shame. I’m very seriously considering low fi hydro. The flood style does seem manageable for worst case scenario but i feel its not quite freaky enough for me. You see I’m very freaky freaky. Haha.
How many watts would it take (approx) to run a 4 bucket rdwc setup pump wise? I’m seriously considering a small solar system with a couple big car batteries

25w 400gph water pump, 50w air pump. If no chiller then make sure your water is good some other way (bennies).

For getting my feet wet and learning hydro, I went with the less expensive option. But from what I'm hearing, RDWC is definitely the beast in the room. Either way, either option is a step ahead from our soil growth rates.
