Prepare yourselves.. long post.
It has been a series of unfortunate events..
The power of the water agitation in the res just tore off most of the weak roots, which tells me they were rotting out. That shouldn't happen with healthy roots at all. Lower leaves are spotted, turning brown and crisping off due to shock and root loss. This grow log is officially bunk. Knowing the fact that I am growing weak plants, weakens me and wastes my time if I choose to recover these girls, but I've learned a GREAT deal of info to start fresh smoothly, thanks to all of you, especially the dwc gurus that have been helping me along the way. You know who you are.
If these girls do actually make it or somehow recover by some crazy miracle in the next few days, they MIGHT have a chance of yielding < 2 zips total IF that. As much as I hate to say it, I have no time for that and will be chopping them or transplanting them in coco (like sir cunning mentioned) to make room for bigger and better (up to 8zips+ with dutch passion genetics). Why waste potential? Not gonna count my chickens before they hatch... but it's just speculation.
I cannot continue with all these issues as it's only going to get worse.
As soon as my seeds come in, I am starting a dutch passion auto x in a bucket with all the fresh new gear that I will post in a new log (away from this bad juju lol)
I'm not gonna let the bad juju get to me, fuck it. I'll get over it and start fresh. Each run gains me more knowledge.
If you want, please help me so that we can collaborate on an "autoflower hydro step-by-step grow log" with all the necessary information on recommended requirements provided by all of you that have been helping me. The next grow will not only be grown by me, but by most of you helping me and this will help other growers thinking about trying dwc with reassurance. This will be a team effort. From start to finish, that new log will be ours, not just mine. I just want to help others because I would never wish what has been happening to me upon someone else.. It feels like the jolly child in us all raising our first pet, that suddenly dies, or finding out a girl cheated on you, you get the idea.. Okay.. enough sappy, dramatic babbling.
Duggy, don't be discouraged bro, just check out vira, seymour, komach and kush t's grows. They're doing a badass job in dwc with MAD growth and yields to show for. Really talented fellas. They have taught me 90% of the info I've recently gained. As for the 10" micropore air stone, I got it off ebay for 44USD shipped. That should be a good spot to find one. That was the price for the double 10" XL model. I believe the single 10" is 10-15USD less. It's an AWESOME air stone built with quality and it's heavy weighted as well. MANY micro bubbles for the best oxygen output. Truly a fantastic investment. Highly recommended. Pair it with a powerful pump and you're golden.
I am really glad to hear that this log has not only taught me, but other growers following as well. My time was truly not wasted if you do believe this. My only grief is that I will be delaying meds as a caregiver a cancer patient. But I'd rather she had quality grown buds instead of bunk.
Again thank you all for following along, providing the motivation and good vibes. This has kept me going. I owe a big thanks to you and the community, as I would be in a shit hole without it.
I will be linking the new log on this thread if you wish to follow along. That would mean a lot to me. I could really use the help to start fresh.
If you have had the patience to read all this, I highly respect that and will award you with max rep as you have earned it well.
Stay high fellas. I need some r&r.
If not, go evil on em and end it. Start from scratch. It's a heartache, but ya know more now and no matter what the grow after this will be killer.
Hopefully the 10 more days you give em that pump does some mad root work for you. Always breaks your balls pulling something that's just not working as it should, had a Cobra recently at day 30+ (I think) and hadn't sexed or much if any node growth. Half its and my life wasted. Lucky others did better.
