Short Rider From Nivana, Dwc,90w Ufo

save your money on the inline booster fan for $25. They will not do an adequate job and you will be disappointed. A Vortex or a Can Fan is what you want to use, or a fan of that type.

This was my first strain i grew and i was sorely dissapointed as it turned out not to be autoflowing, perhaps i was unlucky.

Good luck on this grow

ICECALIBUR, thanx 4 stopping buy. when i first started looking into buying seeds i found the short riders 4 a good price and the reviews looked good but since i made my purchase i keep hearing that they are not that good. i hope i will be the lucky one we shall see......

Good morning everyone! Just trying to leave a little update. 1st and most exciting, we (this is Mrs. 4EVR420 now have three new babies!!!!!!! (pics below) 3 for 3... we love nirvana!!!! We had the seeds in 1-1/2" rockwool, and now have them in 3-1/2" cubes, and are waiting for the root to come out of the bottom.

Also, we made a few 'upgrades' to our lighting set up (pics below)
We started out with 2) 42Watt 2800 lumen 6500K CFLs, 1) 90Watt UFO LED 3800 lumens.
We have now ADDED, 3) 23Watt 1600 lumen 2700K CFLs, 3) 23Watt 1600 lumen 6500K CFLs... that gets us up at 19,000 lumens, on our 3 little girls

Ok, well that's all we really have now. Thanks for all the other advice... keep it coming. :48:

 

[4EVR420]

just a few more pics... couldn't fit above... :fly: :bongin:

 

[4EVR420]

Just stopped in to show some pic updates Hope they keep growing at this rate because I love actually being able to see the difference every day!!

Also, sorry about the sideways pics up above... must have been a little more stoned than we thought:bong2:

 

[nouvellechef]

I don't know nothing about CFL's and LED's, but why did you choose those for lighting as opposed to, 1 switchable ballast with hood and bulbs? Was it intial cost? I am way too stoned right now at 8am to crunch any lumen #'s. You good in that realm?

 

[4EVR420]

nouvellechef, looking back on it now, we definatly should have went with the HPS/MH combo, but we 'thought' we were going to do a stealth grow, and then expanded to this new tent... We still do intend to change it up eventually, just going to try to reap these benifets if we can...

Also, since it seems like you missed it, we've got 19,000 lumens for 3.2 square feet. Thanks for stopping by, and pass the SSH this way sometime huh? we checked that out... looked awesome!

 

[Icecalibur]

4EVR420 the set-up is looking great, very nice indeed..i'm def sitting in on this

 

[4EVR420]

Icecaliber, thanks!!! we're really siked about all the new changes, and to see what they do. :fly: :joint4: :bong2: :fly: :joint4: :bong2:

Ok, we started nutes today per the A.N. schedule for seedlings. PPM is at 220, Ph is at 5.8/5.9 Temps are running, with the lights on, at 82F lows like 75F when lights are off. (i'm running 20-4 if I didn't already say that) So far so good, everything seems to be dialed in. :watchplant:


1st & 2nd Pic Nutes we are using thus far and a wide shot of current set up
3rd - 5th are the DWC plants
6th & 7th are pics of small roots (not too clear, but they are there)

...And 8 & 9 are a little project inspired by the 'monster grows'. this little girl will end up in an aluminum Jager can once shes ready.:hubba:

 

[pcduck]

Here is some Green Mojo for ya.

Hopefully you get all girls otherwise it will be a pain removing roots from your dwc

 

[docfishwrinkle]

clean setup yah got there 4ever. how are you venting your area? temps a lil high. nothing to be too worried about at this point in the game.

 

[4EVR420]

PC, thanx for the mojo man. the last time we did a dwc the roots never got tangled. I know the rez looks small but its only temporary(trying to save money on nutes and water), as soon as the roots touch the bottom of the rez we will transfer them to a much larger rez. thanx for the advice keep it comin.


Doc, thanx for the support. temps are a little higher than we would like. currently we have 2-6" circular fans moving the air around inside the tent and 1-4" inline duct fan for exhaust. the tent does have 2 flap vents that are open all the time for fresh cool air... we are planning on adding a 6" inline duct fan for more fresh air intake, but we cant afford it right now...

THANKS for checking out our GJ and for all help.... KEEP IT COMING:bong2:

 

[4EVR420]

:watchplant: Hi all!!! Just a little update, and pics... Our babies seem to be doing really well. Had a pH prob, but think we got that taken care of thanks to A.N. (this is not an advertisement Not sure if other Nute lines offer a 'support line' to call, but ANs phone line is awesome and very helpful.
Hope all is well with everyone here at MP... enjoy the pics, and happy growing! :watchplant:

The last pic is our little 'Jager' plant... just a bag seed, but it looks promising.

dude beautiful plants, you have got the bout 2 weeks ahead of mine.you found the best advice you could ever ask for here. by the time your done with this grow, the next will be a breeze.

dont go by the lumens on the box of your cfl's, its acually way less. i have a cabinet 2x3' and had 16 cfls in there for 2 plants to veg. the more the better.....ufo looks cool, but never used one. dont have the $. lol

semms like you are off to a good start. the people that have responded to your thread are very knowlegable. take your time, and pay attention. all you need to do is ph, and ppm correctly. training and such will come later. also, are your seeds, feminized?
keep em alive, and super green mojo comming to ya. we will be growing together. im exited. till next time....Loola

 

[4EVR420]

Loola, thanks for taking the time to find our GJ... lol. Thanks for the mojo too, we can always use more good mojo.

WoW that's a lot of CFLs in a small space... how do you keep temp 'normal'???
As for the UFO, we love it so far, however we are pretty new to this so we'll see how we feel many grows down the road.

Really glad to have someone starting at the same time as us. How long have you been using DWC??? And do you like it? Our 1st grow ended in root rot, any tips on how to avoid/prevent that this time?? We have already gotten a larger more powerfull air pump to try to circulate water more, and a larger reservoir so that there is more water to move around. We kind of thought the rot was due to 'stagnent' water???

Thanks again, we hope to learn a lot from this site (& you)... OH, so you don't think we're crazy, when we write WE it's my wife and me. :fly: :48:

well as ms godess said...ventilation is the key. a passive a/c vent helps too.

this is my secong bout with dwc from soil. and all i can say is ill never go back.....as for root rot, keep res temps under 75 and you should be fine. stagnant water is bad too, so keep it bubbly, and change res every or every other week at least.

its cool you and your wife can grow together.....mine just wants to smoke it, lol. till tomm, loola.

 

[4EVR420]

Loola,(and THG) thanks for the advice, we went out and bought another 4" duct fan and it is really helping. our temps are now at 76-78 with lights on and 66-69 with the lights off :woohoo: also, our water temp is about 71 so i think we are good to go in that department.
we're that you like dwc that much its very encouraging for us... hope all is well with your babies and thanks again for any and all advice.....

P.S. my wife likes to smoke it more than grow it as well LOL...
