My RDWC grow. First grow since early 80's.

Well, another journal update. Got the jewlers loop and most of the tricomes are still either clear or some cloudy. No ambers. Probably another 30 days?

@AZreefer I agree. probably 4. still mostly all clear. I figure the plants will tell me when. Unfortunately all 3 have to be harvested the same day so they can start drying in the same tent. Means 1 will be past prime when the others get there. Oh well. I'll be better off next grow. Your dry going good?

The plants I was able to dry in the tent took about 7 days. They smell amazing but taste like beef ramen.

Beef Ramen? Yuk. Oh well, do they get you high? That's the real question.

Buds are frosty as can be, but no amber yet. Probably a few more weeks. Day #116 and 52 days of flower. And yes. one (or more) are foxtailing like a mutha. damage has been done. Light is down to 40% now and as far up in the tent as it can go without removing the filter/fan.

@Galgrows I didn't even know what a foxtail was until folks started commenting about them. I know now. I am sure next grow will be better. I will not do another summertime grow in the desert of Arizona without a dedicated grow/lung room with it's own climate control. To tell the truth "I'm surprised i didn't kill em". New to growing, new to indoor growing, and 1st grow in RDWC as well. I learned a lot. Not saying I won't make more mistakes, but shouldn't make the same ones in the future. I figured I needed to start somewhere. View from the other side of the plant.

Journal update. Day #115 today growth. Day #57 of flower. Still no amber yet. Maybe the proverbial "2 more weeks"? LOL

Well, just as expected the grow slid across the finish line a little beat up, battered, 2 bald tires, and engine had a miss in it. But, across the finish line nonetheless. Last pics of this grow.
The plants are now dried and in the grove bags for curing, but these are the last pics i have. Harvest total for the 3 plants was around 2 pounds. I will get accurate measurements of yield this weekend.

Don't u love dwc

Don't u love dwc

I sure do love DWC. I can't even imagine growing in dirt. Trying to keep em wet enough but not too wet, etc. In my RDWC (from P.A.Hydroponics), you have the number from last grow that worked, so repeat. The plants will drink what they want ,& ignore the rest..
Less than 90 days growth. Bit costly (ok, a lot costly), but so much easier.
