RDWC Scrog

[DrFeelGood]

This is a 4' X 15' screen with 4 Island Sweet Skunk plants in recirculating deep water culture under 4 kw HPS. They are about a week and a half into flower now. I hope you guys enjoy this thread. If you guys have any questions I will do my best to answer.

 

[MediMary]

maybe some more pictures, when you have some extra time.

 

[DrFeelGood]

Of course... I will update weekly with shots of the screen, is there something else you would like to see?

 

[Str8Dank]

DrFeelGood i'd love more detail about the setup it'self.

#1 explain your RDWC setup. 5 Gal buckets with 1/2 hose on the bottom or totes with 2-3" pvc?
#2 what size openings in your screens?
#3 what type of nutes you running?
#4 is this your first run with this system? if not what strains you run last time and how well did it yield?

 

[DrFeelGood]

Str8Dank we have a 14kw, fourteen 27ga strongbox, 150 ga res, 8.5 inch airstones, and we are running 3" drains. The openings in the screen should be 2" x 4". This is the first run with this system and it is an upgrade from the last run where we used 8 kw, 16 5 ga buckets with (2) 1" drains apeice, the 150 ga res and the 8.5 inch airstones. The last run was Afghani with no screens and our girls choked themselves out first by growing roots into the drains which caused us to loose the fattest girl to pythium, and secondly they choked out radially by filling up the buckets entirely which caused us to loose the next fattest girl. So we lost two right away. Our 2 biggest girls yielded .93 and .90 elbows manicured and dried. We used GH Flora Nova, Diamond Nectar, Great White, Hygrozyme (we are looking for a cheaper substitute if you are aware of one), Botanicare CalMag, and sweet last run. We had to switch to a dead res once the pythium set in and ran H2O2. Our average with 2 plants under a light was .67 lb. We were running a 1.5 horse chiller and still got the root rot, they needed a lot more space and bigger drains!

Str8Dank I may have some pics of the last run I can try to find them if you are interested.

OK so these are 2.5 weeks into flower and the buds are stretching up a little bit now.

those ones that are getting higher need to be retrained to go under the screen the goal here is to have the most even canopy possible dont forget that

I have done it with the ones that you can do it to but the ones in the center of the front plant have no where to go the vegetation is too dense :)

 

[DrFeelGood]

It is time for the weekly update... Buds are really starting to pop!

DarthVapor here is a shot of the bottom of the plant so you can see what I am dealing with here, the screen is super full which is what I like to refer to as a HIGH quality problem... no pun intended of course lol

Ignore the first 3 pics, sorry guys they are updates from my experimental 2kw soil Skyscrogger that were taken today as well. I do not know how to get rid of them. If you guys want to check that grow out it is at

Nice work bro......

Hey good looking grow DrFeelGood. I'm about to get a few ISS clones. Have you ran this strain before?

First time but it is running very strong! Super vigorous and smells awesome! Great yielder as well I am told.

Coming from one of the most Badass musicians on the planet that is really a compliment, or at least someone who has named himself/herself after one of the most Badass musicians on the planet. Either way Hahaha:bongsmi:

 

[DrFeelGood]

It has been a little longer than a week since my last update but I have some good shots for you guys. One of the screen you have been following of course, but a few more of the one I like to call "Freak of Nature", including a root porn shot of the inside of her 27 gallon bucket.
