50 watt hps dwc pc grow

[StealthDragon]

looking good man. have you ever grown under cfls? if so, can you compare bud quality between the small hps and cfl?

if your airpump is noisy one thing oyu can do to help is insulate the airline (or get a thicker one). I've been meaning to insulate my airline but I'm lazy.

for the small pics ppl can always zoom in on a webpage by holding down ctrl and pushing the "-" or "+" keys...or ctrl and mousewheel up/down....I'm just saying...it's a handy trick, I do that alot.

I think you sold me on some ona gel, piece of mind is priceless. I'm tired of doing my weekly changing of the fabric softener sheets, LOL.

Hey jaanis i just checked and its at its best 2048 x 1536.

Thanks stealth that sounds like a good idea i might just do that next run. My airline also touches my screen a little so that causes some mild vibration. but its as stealthy as it needs to be at the moment. Next run i could make some stealthy improvements.
I have not produced buds with cfls before so i couldnt compare. But thatd be cool i wish i could. I do have some shorter branches above the screen but shadowed by bigger branches and they are producing nicely. So i think the penetration is better cfls.
lol yeah. Ona's good for the nerves hahah. i was kinda skeptical about ona at first but it proved to be powerful and works good for me. Ive read somewhere ppl talking about the ona smell sticks to your buds and will alter the taste in a bad way. I couldnt back this up and idk if it ever got disproved but i dont keep my ona in my case.

An update... No pics atm srry still gatta snap some my phone is acting up.

The nugs are packing on the trichs and getting a tiny bit denser. Unfortunately my timer broke and it went 24 hrs of darkness Been fliping by hand for the past couple days and some flips not as accurate as they should be... Going to buy a new one asap.

Also more bad news, got like 3 branches that all got portions burned by resting on the light. I tied those suckers down three different times and everytime the next day they would be resting on the light again. They even broke my screen which made my previous ties useless. So now finally(hopefully) i have them tied down for good. And also ive looking out for hermie cuz of the messed up lighting. so far nothing

Hey jaanis i just checked and its at its best 2048 x 1536.

How do you resize them before uploading? For me the maximum size is 1024 x 1024 pixels. I think for lesser posts you may be limited to 800 x 800? It tells you when you go to upload anyway. So basically resize them to 1024x768 or 800x600 or anywhere around that range, instead of 351x265. I touch on resizing in the 3d link in my sig, it's the same process for a few programs.

For quiet air, I find running excess line helps a lot, like run 3 or 4 metres.

My cab is full of scorched leaves and buds so I gots nothing for that

Long time no post

Long time no post

So its been a while since ive updated... Well went thru some nute burn which slowed the budding down . Since flushed it and gave it less nutes seems to be picking up now. Been looking at the trichs and still a lot of clear. I hopefully got the pics working now.

 

[Mind Grenade]

one more pic... Those are of all the branches i could take a pic of atm. The weird thing is theres one branch that grew way taller than the rest and smushed up against the top the pc case. I think it was the main stalk and it hasnt budded much, no where near as much as the other branches. I cant really tie it down either, its budding just very very slowly.

 

[ScrubNinja]

Nice work mate! I pinch the stem when I get a headstrong branch. It slows it down and lets the others catch up.

 

[BC Chronic]

Lookin nice in there!!Good job!!

 

[Mind Grenade]

BC - Thanks man

Thanks scrub always an honor to hear that from you. So your saying if i pinch the taller not producing branch it will catch up? Would this cause a shock to it during flowering?

 

[ScrubNinja]

Sorry, I meant in the lead up to now, like, before it gets that bad, sorta thing. I can't see what you mean in those pics, I'm blind as a badger. But if you mean one of the branches on the right in this early pic:

Then squeezing them back then would have helped now. I just try to keep everything level all the time. As soon as one gets dominance it will continue that way if not stopped. If you supercropped the tall one back then, it would be level, except you'd have more growth tips, not really what ya want imo in such a small space. So squeezing it just slows it, and the other tips that are there catch up. I just squeeze it enough to feel the stem crickle a little bit but so it keeps pointing up. Sometimes I do it a few times up and down the stem if it's really needed. But yeah, it's something you do earlier on and peter off as the flowers set. (probably not gonna help you much this time)

 

[Mind Grenade]

Thanks scrub, yeah its on the right haha. I appreicate the info ill keep that in mind next run. So at this point theres nothing really i can do?

Its funny to think that this plant is a Lowryder and now its 42 days into flowering and vegged for 94 days. I wish i would have known and not wasted so much time on 18/6 waiting for it to flower.

 

[ScrubNinja]

No worries bro. Well, keep in mind I don't see what's going on too well but can't you just tie it over to the left, so it bends out and gets direct light. (aka LST)

 

[Mind Grenade]

srry ill post of pic of what im talking about. You cant see what im talking about in any pics. I cant really lst it cuz if i bend it to the left it will touch the light and burn. I cant really bend it in any other direction.

 

[Mind Grenade]

So heres a pic of what im talking about. I can bend it a bit but then risk snapping it any further.

My plan is to harvest at the end of the month.

What are your guys' thoughts on flushing? should i? does it make a difference? If i should flush then for how long?

 

[ScrubNinja]

Hmmm I would just tie string to it and pull it to the left gently. Maybe a little bit today, then a bit further the next, etc.

Flush is a must.

• 1 week - dude I just wanna smoke this shit!
• 2 weeks - I pride myself on the weed I produce and like it to taste great.
• 3 weeks - I am a connoisseur of weed!

2 weeks seems pretty common. Not sure if DWC affects that time but I doubt it. Peace.

 

[Green Smoke]

If you pinch it carefuly all around the stem it will become flexible, kind of like a hinge. Drop down the stem and do it again and you can fold the stem over on itself and lower it. Put a twist tie around it and you're good to go.

 

[Mind Grenade]

Ok cool thanks for the info scrub. So if i were to flush for two weeks, I would just fill the res with water and not add nutes then chop?

Hey GS can i do that this late into flowering?

 

[BC Chronic]

Looking great Mind Grenade!! yeah Scrub is right..the longer you flush the better..there are people who feed right up till the last moment then use Final Flush...It does work too but the organic way is 2-3 weeks of flushing..you can even use mollasses in the water when flushing too..doesn't hurt the final product at all..
Good luck!!

 

[Mind Grenade]

Thanks for the input BC . I never heard of that Final Flush stuff. It comes in flavors, would that really make weed taste like the flavors?
