60 days total from sprout on these plants
Liking what im seeing so far.Had to back the PPM off a hair down to 850 cause i noticed some slight yellow tips and leaves around the top of the buds looking kinda funny.Should straighten up here in the next couple days.
I really like the way these plants are smelling,''
Running Gen Hydro FloraNova grow,Liquid Koolbloom,Florolicious plus and Floranector for the sugars.cut everything else out.

67 days and not much change.
I notice they are taking in less nutrients now so im dropping the PPM.The stretch is definitely over.building a little on the very tops but thats pretty much it.Frosting up a little more.no more than 30 days left on these.
Hard to get a pic of all of them together.pics dont give it no justice.There are ALLOT of colas here.

I've been lookin' at your bucket design and I think I'd put a baffle between input and output to encourage turbidity.
Had a few beers and was thinking about a 3d model of what I'd put there. I understand root mass would eventually do the trick, maybe. I run coco but want to DIY DWC like you have.

Yeah I checked all that.the air keeps the solution mixed in each bucket and the larger pipes allow plenty of water flow even if the roots clog them.to much water flow And the chiller won't work right.I got it dialed in pretty good.I'm well over a gram a watt.

71 Days Not sure on flower lol
Nothing can be said bad about these plants.They smell really damn good.buds are getting fat and overall i have nothing weird going on.No discoloration,spots or all the usual shit you get at the end of a grow.PPM is around 800 im dropping it gradually but kinda playing it by ear.If i had to guess i would say 25 to maybe 30 days left but not sure.Still alot of white hairs reaching for the stars so well see.I got rid of the blanket and put up a sheet of light proof plastic with the white on the inside.One reason the colas on the outside are a little shorter cause the light wasnt reflecting.It definitly makes a difference.

Heres a shot of them from a distance.was hard to get a good pic with the blanket up but its gone now.I would get hot just looking at it so it had to go.I got some autos growing on the right thats about to be finished up around the same time.I started the autos 3 weeks after these so well see.Im rooting for the photos on yield.

I would advise just listening to this:

Over and over. Until them trichomes look like ya wanna.
I'd play it to the girls while I did the needful :)

Then amber seems all you are awaiting, I tend to take earlier (where you are now) for myself. I'm not a fan of couch lock. Got too much to do. Exciting time for you! Home stretch and final touches before cure. :)
Your thread has a good vibe. Best wishes to ya.

72 days.went in to refill the reservoir and drop the PPM down to 600.I thin k its time to start to tapering them down a little.they looked so good i couldnt resit taking a picture.Got colas stacked up close together.Im pretty much done thinning leaves.All the tops are getting a good amount of light now.I think ill start flushing in about 3 weeks.Ill know a little better end of next week,For now its just checking the PH

72 Days Day 40 Flower
Everything on the up and up.pretty much on autopilot right now.i forget the res is even there sometimes and forget to check it to see if it needs filling.
600 PPM and holding there so that seems to be a good number.they are fattening up but still plenty of white hairs without much color change so no plans yet on a date to start flushing them out.I think they still have a good 3 weeks left.

80 days
my last 72 update was actually 75
Anyway looks like they are getting close but still some time left.Hard for me to say really how long.my guess is 10 days 14 at the most.PPM is right at 500 now and Ph sitting around 5.8 still.Some of the calyx are really swollen up.Still alot of white hairs and a few have turned orange but there is deffinitly some time left.They havnt really produced a ton of trichs like i wanted but that could just be the pheno.There is definitly enough for some dank shit so its ok.the smell coming from them is awesome.

83 days 48 days flower
I dont see these thing going another 2 weeks.The next res fill im going straight water to begin flushing them out.I have alot of cloudy trichs now so i think maybe 10 days till chop.white hairs are disappearing also and buds are getting fat.about 6 days of nutes left in the res than with straight water going in should take another 6 days to get all the nutes down to nothing so 2 weeks total left max.Its been fun for sure and ill be glad to see these girls go.I cut a pile of fan leaves off tonight after this pic in hopes some light can get down and fatten the bottoms up a little and maybe frost them up.

I think you have an extra week to go from your original estimate of 2 weeks myself. I found over the years that less is more with nutes in a RDWC. i used to push them above 1000 but found that my grow was better when i kept everything around 600-750. id flush for 10 days, let the hairs really tuck into the buds and turn color. if the hairs are white, its not done IMO. nice setup, good job!


Also, considering its a haze, id say anything less than 70 days is almost impossible. i used to run my haze 80+ days

chopped the left plant.90 percent cloudy and a few amber.I was running 11.5 on 12.5 off so they flower a little sooner.there was a really good amount in that one plant.
Ill have the dry weight in a week or so and post it here.Theres 2 rows of colas hanging so one is behind the other
