I've done a complete deep water culture before, and aeroponic. Next going to try drip. I highly recommend aero or drip over deep water. Air compressors are loud and inefficient. One small submersible water pump, ~150 gph can run a six plant drip system. If setup in a particular way it'd only need to run maybe four 15min cycles a day. My best results were with Aero, and it's much more quiet. You're doing great. Just sharing what I've learned. Also, the other two methods don't require buckets absolutely filled to the brim setting around. And that makes them easier to deal with.
Thanks for sharing. Got these from Growers Choice seeds early September and planted them on September 4th. Also, just added some late bloom nutes (week 8) from advanced nutrients, as who doesn't want bigger budz?
Keeping an eye on the trichomes, just now. Still all clear on both plants with pistils getting copper colored.
First harvest, ever. Mary had 2oz of dry buds and Jane had 8 oz of bigger wet buds.
You can see from the first photo, below, that the one gallon pot (aerogrow) was waaay too cramped for two plants. Look at that block of roots!
Next grow will be in a 5 gallon hydro bucket with one plant.
So, the buds are drying and I reckon I should have 6-8oz of buds with around 20oz of plant material, which is in the freezer, just now. Might do an alcohol extraction, or bubble hash, not sure, although the former seems more likely. Drying in the grow tent in a hanging drying rack with a small fan 64 F and 40 RH. I am being sure to keep the buds from touching each other and turning them daily for an even dry. I overdried some buds and had to put them in tupperware with a sheet of bread for a few hours to rehydrate them. That worked spectacularly, so I can dry them more slowly this time around.
Bought a whole load o' mason jars and canning lids and some 62RH humidity packs. I plan to cure the buds for at least 5 weeks, but I will probably do taste tests over that period to get a sense of the harshness leaving the buds over time.
I think Mary is going to be infused into butter by decarbing them in the sous vide.
Jane is getn smokt.
As this is my first grow, I am open to advice, feedback, etc.
Thinking of grandaddy purp or purple haze for my next grow.
Cheers!
Nice job rabbit! It's all smooth sledding from here, good luck! :)Starting the flush as all buds have cloudy trichomes with only a few starting to show amber.
Take a look at these frosty budz.
