13 gal 8 xl Uc 2k PK

[socachi]

Hey BG read most of your last UC man that took forever, and going through this one. You're kickin ass with that UC. Some great results w the PK.
I don't recall if this was covered but do you remove leaves each day as they start bushing out to help w the light penetration? Another grower on a diff forum does it with his UC and he gets great results.
Also I notice on your roots they're showing a little green, maybe wrap the buckets to stop the light from getting in and to keep water temps cool. Just a thought.

I didnt remove much leaves that grow. I wanted to leave em it was my first time growing the lvpk wasnt sure how she would grow. Ill be doing a few things different this round.
For the algae issue its not anymore I have the dark blue buckets now and I have always had a chiller.
Thanks for stoppin in

Big any new pics, would love to see how the ladies are doing.

 

[BigGreen]

I should get some new pics up this weekend. I might be scrappin all the plants in the UC and starting fresh with new clones. These things have been having problems since day 1. Its not the UCs fault there was alot of neglect to the clones be for I received em. Im gonna make the call tomorrow.

May as well rip that shit out if already not pleased. Just gonna be more of the same. Shitty to hear man. But luckily that thing rips ass on vegging huh

 

[BroughtSuperior]

sorry to ear that bro, maybe next time try to get bigger clones, or let them veg in a shallow container before putting them in the UC, maybe the roots dont get well established?
good luck

 

[socachi]

Well that sucks having to pull everything. Quality clones can be hard to find. How long did you veg for?

 

[opt1c]

can the clones be saved? inquiring minds want to know

 

[BigGreen]

I not saying Im losing me strains guys. Im just scrappin the cuts in the UC. I have 1 of each strain in the cloner that have about 30 tops ready to cut on em. I just want my own fresh cuts I cut and cloned. I make em blow up quick.
My friend gave them ones to me they were in rough shape.
Ill pop up some pics tomorrow show ya what I mean.

Op1ic Im not ever gonna lose the top strains. I keep em with close friends as well just in case.

X two dozen great growers and friends = elite strains never fade away.

 

[BigGreen]

Change of plans. I checked the plants out today and there not being shit canned.
The roots bounced back big time. I ripped off all the dead shit now the new growth is blasting of.

Heres some pics


Heres the new roots you think I should let em go


Heres the new babies BS 2.2 X Og kush


Just added the 600 watt today for the hempys


Heres the 2 mothers I left in the cloner just in case. I have tons of cut with nothing to do with them.


Im good to go. Im re thinking adding co2 for bloom. I just cant decide to use tanks or a burner.
Enjoy BG

 

[Hydrosun]

If you can handle the added heat of a burner it should cost a lot less than filling tanks, especially if your room isn't 100% sealed.

 

[BigGreen]

Thats what Im thinking. Natural gas burner piped straight to the house. I dont think the heat would be a issue if it is I just get a bigger a/c.
Thanks bro

 

[dominicangreen]

burner will produce more co2 for the price and as for heat the temps are much cooler it will add 5-10 degrees more in your room using a burner.i tried a tank and the damn thing waisted to quick

 

[SirSmokalot]

Ahh we love our burners around here!

 

[BigGreen]

Im still trying to figure out how to make the room work with it all. Hmmmm maybe next cycle just still banging my head on this one. I really want to just hook up a mini split.
The plant are way bigger Ill get some pics up tomorrow

[Hydrosun]

I like using larger net pots, have you thought about getting lids with larger holes?

 

[socachi]

BG glad you didn't have to toss the girls. The roots are looking alot better now that they're in the blue containers. You about ready to flip em?
