Been a minute but back in the Buckets.

Finally someplace where I can get back to my real passion. Growing frosty ass nugs...while y'all hitch a ride of course. A little late starting this one as I am a few days into week 3 of flower. But...Life and all that jazz. Running in a custom RDWC setup with 8- 5-gallon buckets and a 19G res, running in a 3x5 tent with .

Strains:
Super Silver Haze
Gushers
Pure Kush

Environment:
3x5 tent in closet.
Custom RDWC setup with 8- 5-gallon buckets and a 19G res
2- Phlizon 300w LEDs
Dehumidifier running in closet to keep humidity limited to between 35-40%. Semi sealed environment with tent in closet and closet environment vented with passive air occasionally flowing to the room. Co2 enriched tent averaging at 1300 ppm during lighting hours, 80-85 F tent temps to capitalize on that extra co2. Running chiller and keeping res temps between 65 and 70 at all times. 8" fan ducted to carbon filter in top of tent. Tent has open vent on opposite bottom side of tent to allow a good flow to get through the canopy. 4- 6 inch fans circulating air and 1- 6" oscillating fan stirring it up a little more.

Nutrients:
Full Master Line of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow/Bloom
Sensi Bloom A/Sensi Bloom B
Voodoo Juice
Big Bud
B-52
Overdrive
Piranha
Bud Candy
Flawless Finish
Tarantula
Tasty Terpenes (formerly Nirvana)
Sensizym
Bud Ignitor
Rhino Skin
Bud Factor X

Any tips and advice are always welcome, we are all students till the day we die. I'll get more pics of my actual setup at some point hope you enjoy the show

So right in time to watch them buds get massive

As usual when things are going great, life throws a whole Billy Mays "But wait there's more" at you lol. Chiller kicked the bucket and water temps ran around 82-85 for a day and a half. Hit the Mg uptake pretty hard. SSH took the brute of it. Got it dialed back in and supplemented a little Mg to help bounce back a little easier. Nothing new showing up since the new chiller was installed and got most of the bad areas cleaned up, thankfully plants reallocated and didn't slow down on growth much. Overall, very happy with the amount of bud sights I've got going. Now the key is gonna be maintaining low humidity and good airflow through my canopy to prevent any PM issues since it's so packed. Gonna be adding another oscillating fan in the next few days since my other two are stationary. But...Moving right along nonetheless

So been a little busy but wanted to drop a few updates. I haven't gotten any pics this week but Ill grab some this weekend. Super Silver haze in the last 2 buckets took a hit when my chiller went out and then I guess I hit the valve and cut off the water flow so they just had air stones for who knows how long, but at least they had that. Explains why those were stunted so bad in comparison to the others. Overall things are looking great and moving right along. It should work out to where 4 plants will be harvested at one time and 3 the next week. For this to be the first run of this new system I think overall I am pretty satisfied. I will make a few tweaks to the plumbing next go round with all water going through a manifold instead of having ball valves for the buckets beneath the canopy I can hardly see. Along with cutting back to 6- 8-gallon buckets instead of 8- 5-gallons. Any other suggestions I'm always down to hear. SSH is super hungry ALL THE TIME lol. I'll do each run moving forward with just 1 strain at a time so I can really fatten them up and see what they can do when giving it all it really wants. Instead of meeting in the middle for each like with this grow. This is my first go round with these strains so a little learning of each of them will take a few grows. Then I can really play mad scientist and do some dope stuff lol Otherwise roll up a fatty and enjoy the pics. Few weeks to go

Couple of currents from today. Nearly impossible for me to keep up with the demands of these hungry girls atm. Moved res changes back to 5 days instead of 7 as well as previously boosting my overall dosing amount. Next go round I will dial that in better for each strain to maintain my 7-day schedule.

So, for the first run this has mainly been for evaluating the new strains and checking the design for new runs growing forward and pushing out each strains full potential. I've gotten some great data and plans moving forward. The last 2 buckets had less flow than the first 6. It was hard to control flow to each bucket with my old setup, but I've got a 6-port manifold I'm building off of for the next go round so that should not be an issue. The SSH is super hungry in comparison to PK and Gushers but hard to push that with the latter 2 almost finishing. Will get better stuff next go round with SSH for sure. The hybrids are nearly finished and I'll start watching trichomes next week and isolating to flush as they're ready. Gonna seal off inlet flow and run an ATO with RO water to those thast are ready to keep a fresh flushing water supply available to them. I've always used straight water in the past, but I was recommended flawless finish since I was running the rest of the line. Anyone have any experience? Is it worth messing with, or good ol water can't be beat? Curious to see. Otherwise aside from being a bunch of chonky girls who make me feel like I'm going to be reported to the weed cps people for not feeding my kids. (I swear I do LOL) Life hasn't been the most gracious host lately so dialing in to each one will be a process and patience will be tested

. But in the end gonna make some beautiful babies along the way and then light them all on fire in remembrance

Also, as you can see I had to add supports to the fatties. PS Everything in life is better when its thicker JS

Plants look fantastic. Hydro seems to give better results.

Always recommended to master soil growing before making the leap into 100 more variables. But well worth it when you do, it is a game changer in quality and quantity.
But thank you, hoping they smoke as nice as they're looking

Sports for kids and work being wild has kept me stretched thin, but we are coming to a close on the pure kush and gushers. SSH is almost there another 2 weeks or so on that on. But few updates for now. Always a sad/joyous day for me as I go kill my babies lol. Will keep everyone updated as we go into drying and curing with these chonky girls. SSH took a hard hit being the last bucket in the line and the issue where i lost water for a few days to them. Definitely will have a better harvest with those girls next go round.

NOTE: The trichome pics are mixed between the 12th and the 18th. I know some look to have a good bit of clear trichomes left, wanted to be clear. I like to harvest my indicas with just a few ambers to keep it uplifting and about 20% on my sativas to balance the mellow
