UPDATE: Day 79
Res Temp:70
Room temp: 71.4
PH:6.1
PPMs:972
I chopped on of the Northern Lights and its given WW1 a lot more light. The NL was really freaky looking, like something you'd expect to be growing near Chernobyl.....lol! So its gone. going to dry it out and see if I can get any CBD oil out of it ( her? Him?? )
My WW has colas so heavy the branches are falling over, I may have to tie ther up a bit,,, geee, never thought I'd have that problem...LOL!
It is suppose to hit 80 today, and it was 77 in my room this morning! So , took out the window fan and put in the airconditioner! its down to 71.4 right now, going to get it to about 69 and try to hold it there. One thing about my grow, for all its said that you want temps in the 70, maybe mine would be even bigger, I don't know, but my average temp in my room had been about 65. since the begging of the grow. It was the only way I could keep the res temp down. I tried 2 liter bottles of ice water in the res, it helped but was just not effective enough, so I lowered the room temp instead. Sure looks like it was the right thing to do! I wish I had one of those fancy, infrared temperature guns so I could take the plant temps. I suspect the light actually heated the plant a bit, thus the good grow. Also, I let the room warm up over night the cooled it during the day.
Pics later! She's as healthy as ever, and certainly doesn't look done, unlike WW2 did. And I have a theory about my WW2 ended up so much smaller. I don't remember, but I think I may have transplanted her still in the 2" net pot, where as I took WW1 out and lowered her into the 10" netpot till the roots went out the bottom the filled in around her. Won't know for sure till after harvest when I clean out the rootball. And WHAT a rootball it is! My next DWC ( it may be RDWC ) will be in 20 gallon trash cans, one 10" net pot per can, with a total of 4. That's my project for this winter.
Also, I got a hell of a deal on a case of Grodan 1.5"x1.5" cubes, 45 to a pack, 24 in the case. So I kept 2 packs and am selling the rest on ebay, and they are going fast, as I have the best price there! Going to use the money towards an LED grow light.
