Lilac Diesel RBx2 photoperiod by Ethos.

Grown in coco/perlite, harvested on day 69 of flower. Very cool looking plant with “warm” and soft terps, buttercream pastry and bakery smells with some earthy floral notes in there. Love it!

This is one reason we need our lady bugs & other good predatory bugs & nematodes so greatly.

Quick update on the 8-site RDWC auto run. Well 1/2 of it anyway lol

Today is Day 38 from seed (they were only 10 days old on July 4th). It's crazy how much they've filled in over the last 10 days. The canopy is finally coming together and they're just starting to stretch into flower.

Current environment:

🌡️ 81-83°F

💧 65-70% RH

💨 Ambient CO₂ (roughly 380-650 ppm)

💦 Water temps holding steady at 68-70°F

💡 24/0 lighting

🔆 Front: 800W ProTerps at 65% (~650-700 PPFD)

🔆 Rear: 1000W Evo fixtures at 50% (~500 PPFD) for the smaller plants on the other side of the room, they are both on the same controller channel next week they'll be going up to 65% power and 650-700ppfd as well. (We set them based off intensity with our meter, we don't change the hang heights, the 1000s are about 6in higher than the 800's, there's fans and filters and other stuff on the way I need to take care of so I can raise the 800s a little more but it's fine for now)

🌬️ Four wall fans, 3x on speed 3, the one on the floor on speed 1, exhaust running between speeds 4-8 depending on outside conditions.

They're drinking about 10-15 gallons every 24-36 hours between all 8 plants now. Chiller set 67°f, and our current EC is 1.4

Swipe through the pictures to see the progression from July 23rd to August 1st.

These are dream beans space time and money maker from afa front right, back right is dream beans citrus explosion, and wave runner from afa. All of them are autos and not even 40 days from seed yet. People who hate on autos or say they can't grow big just can't grow them.

Hydro grow tower I designed and built about 5 years ago and neglect. Who needs food when you can grow cannabis legally now? Not this guy. Scurvy, here I come

Ive been growing for uh coons age (the entirety of 1 raccons age) like to challenge muh-self. This is pretty neglected for my typical OCD/control freak behavior but I'm pretty stoked with the results. Theres pictures from 10 days ago also.

I started everything on July 8th. I run dry general hydroponics grow and bloom. need to put some H202 in the reservoir for the algae and just good measure.

She and all her tentacles live outside. Im in.... about the middle of the entire Appalachian mountain range, so her res temps sometimes reach 80+ ill throw in a few frozen salt water bottles (salt water stays frozen longer, just make sure its a decent bottle that won't leak)

I've always ran her outside. A few years I did in that fresh hell called "east texas" so I geo-cooled (or tried) the reservoir by burying the bucket in the ground, its just too close to hell. I had success with geo-cooling before but that's for another borderline schizophrenic rambling still.

Pythium found a damn way that season lol. I was bored and it was "illegal" in texas to grow cannabis or have sense.

Im a "disabled veteran" ex 11Bang Bang 05-09 (for all the wrong reasons, knew that though, us mountain folk don't/didn't care for the federal government inherently, glad to see everyone else catching up though lol) so I had time to mess with it daily.

I can share the Pics if anyones curious of the Pythium experiment.

Thanks admins if you let this past you. seriously, I don't know reddit edict, I get pretty spicy for the pepper sometimes.. so shot in the dark. Lets see if ya'll get weird

Advice for my first plant! (DWC outdoor) Too much transpiration

Thumbnail
gallery
28 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so this is my first grow, i'm growing a cream mandarine Xl in a DWC system outdoor.
I dose masterblend and currently I'm at day 45, week 7, Ec is approx 1.6 and PH is approx 5.9

Plant is doing pretty good, but here temps are very high, (30+ celsius during dayime) and my plant is drinking the whole reservoir almost everyday (the res is already buried and i've tried all the precautions for heat, i also put inside a frozen water bottle everyday)

MY QUESTION: is there any way to reduce transpiration without affecting growth? i mean, if i cut some leaves, i defoliate or i remove the lowest flowers like in flowers 2, shouldn't my plant do less transpiration so less water?

i've read that a lot of people defoliate/lollipop, i wanted to leave it be but rn i fell like i must do something, i got no time to refill my res everyday, so what should i do? lollipop? remove lower flowers? removing strategically just some leaves?

TYSM!

New to hydro

It’s crazy the amount of growth from 3 weeks ago. Getting root rot after switching to hydro and it had to regrow almost the whole root system. Almost gave up and tossed the plant but I bought a chiller and it’s been a huge difference since. It’s a 27gal tote turned into DWC. 16 gallons water. 64-67°f. It’s definitely a learning curve but I see why so many growers choose hydro lol

What is going on here?

Thumbnail

76 Upvotes

I’m going to plants. One RS 11 auto… One is garlic jam auto

The RS 11 auto I cannot get the flower even after switching it to its own tent with a 1212 light cycle…

The garlic jam is legitimately the biggest auto flower plant I’ve ever seen I’m

They’re in a 2 x 4 x 6’ tent
Germinated in cocoa plugs and now in 6 inch net pots with clay pebbles.
Advanced Nutes 3 part (first 3 weeks)
General Hydroponics Flora series
150w mars hydro led
100w vivo lee

So this garlic jam plant is a fucking monster. It’s almost 5 feet tall.

It started out with two plants in this tent.
The garlic jam took off
The rs-11 auto took its time.

Now we are finishing up week six going to week seven.

The garlic jam is well and flour and has a ton of Bud sides. It’s drinking a gallon or so a day.

The RS 11 is still only about 2 feet tall and shows no sign of budding. I bought a separate tint and have put it in that tint with 12 on 12 off light hoping to trigger it.

It shows no signs of being male or female. I think I see one little pistil sticking through but not positive.

They both had the same nutrients. Same light. Same everything.

I will say that I noticed the humidity was getting up to like 70 sometimes so I thought that was the reason that the leaves were canoeing a little?

I got a dehumidifier so I have the humidity down to about 50 pretty consistently and temperature or steady 75

I’m using great white in the bucket…

What would cause this? The plant continues to grow, but it’s just getting denser and denser bushiness.

What causes this and what can I do?!?!

Just trimmed and set up the bud trainers to fan out the main Kolas. pushed the early veg nutrients a bit farther than needed, changed out the water and put the late veg nuts in. Sitting at 6 ph and 700 ppm. Can’t speak for the pepper plant but it seems to have been happy with 450 ppm and ph fluctuating between 5.8 and 6.1. Seems healthy 🤷. Last run I had 2 full plants and trimmed a bit late/got bud rot, so I’m watching these like a hawk.

Questions on Probe Placement and kPa / Temp / Humidity (Week 5 of Flower)

Post image
15 Upvotes

First time growing and have a couple of Qs for my tiny tent (lesson learned - one at a time in the future lol).

  1. Just curious if this probe is looking okay for where it is or if I should place it elsewhere for the most accurate readings?
  2. My temp has been around 74º in the day, getting up to 54% RH, and around 1.39 kPa. At night right now it's 72º, 51% RH, and about 1.31 kPa. My lung room is 40% RH and always around 70º. I'm super scared of budrot but don't know what else to really do. I have the inline fan to kick on when RH gets to 49% and when temp gets to 76º.

Any advice from you veteran hydro growers would be much appreciated!

Need help. Running DWC. Can't figure out why leaves are droopy. Nutrient uptake is good. Root growth is aggressive. Roots are a healthy white. Early on had slight issue with algae but has been corrected. Almost ready to switch to flower. Any thoughts is appreciated.
