Indoor At it again!

Well. If anyone cares... This is what I did today. I put a good 5 hours of work into sterilizing, clean everything up (tools, shit all over the place), and setting up the two new buckets with perfect water that are both running solo =/ (DWC). Also, having new problems, I'll explain later. Fuck I feel like a fucking retard with all this shit. Probably should have had at least some basic pumbing knowledge. :BangHead:. Atleast all the shit I bought I can use for something, not a total loss, and a good learning experience. I think they will still all come out good! :qright4:

9/13/12 3:36 A.M. Just took four bong hits of some white rhino mixed with some gold hash! Those hash bags worked great, I couldn't be happier. I'm Nice and fired up :bong-2:

Critical Jack & Blue Dream: (day 31)

-Initial check of PH since last night. PH @ 6.3 and PPM @ 758. I checked each bucket that have their feed/drain lines open (2), and they all have the exact same readings as the control bucket.. And those two plants are both heavy sativa dominant and are the exact same age, so flushing/feeding should be easy, they should end flowering very closely in time, and their the buckets in the back of the tent. (hard to reach). 2 bucket RDWC system.

-Added a few drops of PH down. Went down to low, added a bit of PH up. Ending up being: PH @ 5.8 and PPM @ 810 (I started using Advanced nutrients PH up, shit is sooo concentrated. A few drops of it will raise the water a full point of PH. Also started using GH PH Down in a powder form. It disolves quick and works well. I use a 1/4 tsp at a time.)

Smoke Break.....:smokin:



Purple Wreck: (day 1)

PurpleWreck.jpg


- Solo DWC bucket, all valves off just a air line bubbling. (Using mostly distilled water with about 3/4 of a gallon on tap water).

- Initial check of PH and PPM. PH was 8.1 and PPM 207

- Added 7ml of PH down (Brought me to PH 5.0 and ppm 229)

- Added 2.5 drops of AN PH up.

- Added 3 Tbls of H202

- Final PH @ 5.7 and PPM @ 220

Pineapple Express: (day 1)

- Solo Bucket just like the Purple Wreck, both drain/feed lines shut off, and a big air stone.

- Mix of distilled and tap water

- Initial PH and PPM - PH 7.8 / PPM 141

- 3 Tbls of H202

- 1/2 tsp of power GH PH down. Went to PH 6.3, added 1/4 tsp of powdered PH down. After everything settled and hour later I ended up with a final of PH @ 5.7 and a PPM of 192.

Auto Cheese: (Day 28)

- Don't remember the PPM and PH values, did them last night and didn't write them down, well the PH went up a bit, I know that. I adjusted the PH and final levels are PH @ 5.6 and PPM @ 962

to be fair it looks like its not worth the watts
theres more issues than cal mag there
 
Just caught up on this thread nice setup you have there :thumbs:
 
That blue dream is over ferted. That's the downfall of a recirculating system with multiple strains. Some will scream for more feed, and some will cry for less. You've gotta find that middle ground and stick with it. Each strain needs a little different type of attention when it comes to feed. I wouldn't go above 600 ppm. I've seen a lot of photo growers who never go above 700 ppm and they seem to have the best results.
 
Think cal-mag would help my Blue Dream?

All they need is Lower nutes. Screw what the bottle says and don't go above 600 ppm until you KNOW your plant can handle it. Push slowly, and watch for a reaction. All I see wrong at all in this thread looks to be caused by overfeeding. Haven't seen anything look underfed.
 
Right on. The Lucas Formula works great with the GH 3 part too. You don't even have to use the Micro with it. GH also has FloraDuo which is basically the Lucas Formula. Pretty much the 3 part in a 2 part formulation. I've read a lot of good stuff about the Lucas Formula with the 3 part.
 
Week #3 Update

I'm a few days late on the post. I fed on 9/18.

Critical Jack & Blue Dream (Day 40 now for these two)

- Since I just did a total flush the day before and gave them a week #2 Nutrient solution, I didn't think a water change was necessary. I fed the control bucket 3x gallons of week #3 Nutrients (12-6-3 800/1000) (Was flushing them a bit, cause of burn). Now I think I actually have the Ph and PPM stable, running on the lower end on the Sativas and a little harder on my Cheese xD

- PH - 5.9 PPM - 950

Purple Wreck & Pineapple Express. (Separate DWC systems, 5 gallon buckets) (Day 7)


- I'm getting a lot of fluctuations in PH without nutrients, didn't realize it was so much easier with Nutrients to balance PH.

- Fed both plants on week #1 of Useless formula.​

Current readings: PH: 5.6 / PPM: 400 for P.E. and PH: 5.6 / PPM: 395-400 for P.W (2 Gallon bucket)

Auto Cheese: (Reading before water change) (Day 37): PH: 5.7 / PPM 1,100

- Removed 3 cups of water from it's reservoir and added 2 back of distilled and a few tsp's of H202. Didn't measure it out yet.
