 StarRyder auto-fem 1600W DWC [Updated 12/7/13] FINISHED!

Hey guys! Just made this new account to show off another grow of mine!
What you are looking at is two starryder autofem from dutch passion. You can see the DWC system and a 600W light. (25 days in this first picture set)
Feel free to post and ask questions! Follow this post so you can see how things progress!
Blue plant nutes rock! I ordered their vitablue, and got everything else at the local hydro store. The grow, micro, bloom, etc are not from blue plant nutes, but I will follow their feed schedule as best I can.

I'm pumping in air from outside the closet, so the water is at like 75F or so. I put up the scrog net, so here is some pics!

There is a drain at the bottom of my tote. The tote is raised off the floor just a bit by a platform made of 2x4s and plywood. That clear hose you see is connected to the drain and when not in use, it remains the way you see it. When I need to flush, I pull the end of the clear hose out of the tote lid and stick it in the end of a garden hose that is run out of my house and into the back yard. Because the house is above the yard, the water simply flows out into the yard. When all is done, I grab a funnel and begin the process of filling the tote back up with PHed water and all my nutes. Here is an update!

Hey guys, just a quick update! All is going well, did a res change and bulb change two days ago, here are some pics from today. I'm having an "issue" trying to keep the left plant from growing so fast and so tall. I keep raising the light, but it is almost as if the plant is trying to spite me and it grows closer to the light every time I raise it!
From what I know, you aren't supposed to do anything to auto-flowering plants that will slow them down, as it just wastes flowering time and hurts the yield. I will try to tie down what I can, but does any one have suggestions about keeping that main stem from getting too tall?

Day 43 from seed:
Here is another quick update! These things are getting HUGE. Both plants have started their flower period. They seem a bit slow going to me for some reason. Each flower spot has had only 1-3 pistols for 3-4 days now (I'm used to more so hopefully flowering will pick up).
No evidence of actual bud formation yet, which worries me, but I'll just have to give it a week and hope. I've been really thinking about switching from my 24/0 light cycle to a 20/4. What do y'all think?

Hahaha, I know right!?  
I'm pushing this thing as hard as I can! 
I decided to put it on the 20/4 schedule and see how that does.
Thanks for following!

Thank for subscribing!
I will definitely let you know what the final weight is!
Things are getting a bit crazy in that closet. The two plants are taller than I am now and I'm starting to think that I let them veg too long.
Day 49 from seed:
I accidentally let the left plant grow into the light. It got a bit toasted and dried out a few of the leaves. I'm hoping I didn't screw that main cola. I tied it off to the side a bit and raised the light again. I've got about a foot left before this thing gets too tall and I can't raise the light anymore. The scrog worked very well and forced the plants to fill up all of the empty space, but didn't do much towards keeping them short. Getting ready to swap the 600watt light to a 1000watt light in a few days. I'll give another update in 5 days or so. (sorry for the crappy image quality, I'll be sure to get much better ones when these things start to get really pretty)

I'm having the same problem with height, my plants grew more than a foot in a week, and i had to cut the tops off a few so my light still has some room to move. Still their coming along nicely,as are yours

Day 55 from seed:
Swapped the 600watt light to a 1000watt, so hopefully that helps. These things are going slower than I'm used to, but with 3-5 weeks left to go, I hope everything gets going. Moved a few things around in the room and everything is staying a lot cooler now.

Yes, very much so. Soon I will have to rely on only being able to tie back the branches that are too tall. No more raising the light from where it is at now

OK!
Day 57 from seed. I need to do a res change asap, but I have to wait until there isn't the threat of friends and roommates walking in unexpectedly.
I said "fuck it" and put the 600watt light back in. So all together now, I'm running 1600 watts on 20/4. I just felt like the plants arent going as fast as I am used to.
The right plant isn't going to give me much at all. I'd say 85% of what you can see is the left plant.
It got cold out, so that mean we should be running the a lot A/C less. Hopefully it will help compensate for the electric bill. Hope this pays off!

Thanks buddy! I love sharing and having people watch.
Advice and questions are always welcome!
They are looking much happier today even though they managed to get 3 extra hours of darkness (my main plug was a bit loose?).

I've done it a few times. Biggest was 16 plants on a recirculating DWC using 5 gallon buckets. I love it and will most likely never go back to soil grows.

I think i got it but How do you know were your water/nut level should be at all times.

It changes! I premix 5 gallons (a big ozarka jug) at a time. I PH the water first then follow that table at the start of my post for adding nutes. The clear tube allows me to see the water level in the tote. After a while, you get a water ring on that tube that tells you where the level should be. When you notice it getting low or just see that you could add more, just add more of your premix to your tote. The water level will always be changing, just keep an eye on it.

Some do and some don't. The one who know are cool. The ones who would freak out do not know.
Just did a res change. Fresh everything. I think a lot of my airstoens have become clogged. There isn't as many bubbles as I remember, lol.
I'm really hoping for good things these next few weeks. Gonna go see if I can fix the air issue.

Ok thanks. But when I fill it up were do i fill it up to? I mean do I fill it up so its touching the net pots ?
I know the water will fluctuate up and down. I just dont know were the water is supposed to be .

I'd say like 1/4" into the net pot should be fine.

With the air stone on. But, to be completely honest, you are asking about something I'm not 100% sure about. And, unless you are planning on adding water all of the time, or having a recirculating system, the water level in my grows never seemed to be an important factor, except to say, don't let it get to low. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to research a bit or become a scientist and perform an experiment to find optimum water level in a DWC?
One thing I do know is that the more water you have, the easier it is to regulate the pH, ppm, E.C., etc. That is why I choose a rather large tote to use in my DWC vs something like a 5 gallon bucket. It simply makes it harder to "screw up" the whole water thing. It also allows for much larger root systems to form.
Day 61 from seed: Ill post pictures in a bit and I'm really excited. I left the door open for a few hours the other day with a nice fan blowing in fresh air, moved to the final phase of nutes, and added some big bud along with the hammerhead. I can tell the difference already!

Oh, and as far as that odor goes, a nice fan an carbon filter always do the trick. I vent into my attic as well to avoid any traces of the smell being pumped out directly from the house.

Hey man, like the setup, think i might do something similar when i get started myself. i have some questions for you -
How big is that tub?
what kind of nutes are you using in what ratios?
what kinds of pumps are you using?
again, this looks awesome.

Thanks!
The tub is a 40 gallon tub I believe.
The nutes are a mix. The standard 3 part, Grow, Micro, and Bloom. I also got the vita blue from blue plant nutes, there is liquid seaweed, big bud, and hammerhead. Pretty much check out the blue plant nutes site, and get their $160 setup. It'll work very very well!
Only pump I have is a commercial air pump. Comes with that splitter to run up to 8 air hoses.

Day 64 from seed:
Put in another round of water and nutes, these girls are going through 5 gallons every two days.
Got a huge scare. I went to lift the lid of the tote to check on the air bubbles (now it looks as if a hose came loose, and only huge bubbles are coming out in one spot, but I guess it's better than nothing) and the net put fell through the tote lid! I guess they are getting pretty heavy now. I think the only thing that saved me was the help from the scrog net supporting it from falling over while I frantically got the net pot back where it needed to be.
Heres some pics:

Looking good man! If your using cheap air stones they tend to clog easily, there are ceramic ones that stay unclogged and last forever with proper cleaning between uses. Though their kinda pricey but i find they work much better. I use 4 of the these single XL sized ones in my table, have had them 2 years without issues, just give them a wipe down after every flower cycle. Check'em out...AIR STONE CERAMIC MICRO PORE

Great! Thanks for the info!
I had been using these cheapies for a while now, but I think it's definitely time to get new ones. It's one thing I have been overlooking for a while now! Sure hope it isn't hurting my yield too much
I shall give them a shot in my next grow

Day 67 from seed:
Steady as she goes! Could be as much as 17 days left. We will see how this goes! The buds are starting to mature nicely. Here is a few more pics!
I'll break out the better camera soon!

Your second picture looks like the plant is clawing it's leaves from heat stress. What are the temperatures like in area? You might want to keep the A/C on for a bit.

Yea something is definitely a little off.
As for the harvesting, a good rule of thumb is when you think it's ready for harvest wait another week. I'd say you still got 3 weeks.

Thanks for the advice.
Temperatures are definitely less than optimal. High 80s low 90s. This a somewhat of a covert closet grow and the only options I have are to leave the door open with a blower to pump air in. I do that as often as I can.
Wish I were living in Colorado and didn't have to worry about cops, landlords, feds, and roommates lol.
3 weeks? Ugh. Guess we will see. I'm out of some of my nutes and too broke to buy more.
Thanks again for the advice and your time! I'll update in a few days.

Day 69 from seed:
Broke out the good camera. Still uploading my images here, so higher res pics are still yet to come. Now you can really see my flaws though. Def got too hot in there a few times and I think some Epsom salt would do it some good.

Looking good Purp, though i gotta say your leaves look alot like what i had a week b4 i got a brutal case of nute burn. Though heat can cause a similar effect so my fingers are crossed for ya bro! ofcourse you'd know by now if it was the same issue as me. lol
How far off is harvest?

Could be nute burn. Read that this strain doesn't appreciate overly strong nutes. Don't think I have been over doing it though. In fact, I am actually out of some nutes and haven't been able to give them to her. Maybe she doesn't like that?
bout two weeks to go

Your most likely fine, if it was a serious problem you'd know. They look good apart from the leaf tip burn/drying.
Woot, 2 weeks eh, can't wait to see the final product
Wish i had the same enthusiasm for my current grow...had issues from day one this go, was seriously thinking of just chopping everything down and starting over. Its funny till this grow i've never had any issues other than a lil bit of white or dried leaf tips, and i've been doing it on and off for 20 yrs..lol

OK! So the damned thing just fell over again! Did some decent damage, but I think almost all of it is fine. One roll of kite sting, a few coat hangers, some help, and an hour later she is tied up and supported.
From the looks of it, she just got too heavy and I didn't give her enough support.
We'll see how everything looks tomorrow...

Quick update!
Day 77 from seed:
Well, she seems to have taken her fall quite well! I see new bud development at the tops of every cola. There is a clear difference in pistil color and size on the new growth versus the old growth. She just keeps getting fatter!
I'm just going to let her keep going for as long as she needs.

Thanks buddy!
Hopefully at the start of November! This new bud formation has me wanting to let it go a bit longer. I'll keep an eye on the trichomes and let them decide.

Nice grow. I think it's both nute burn and heat stress. Sativas are very touchy with the nutes and judging by the width of the fan leaves' leaf blades that plant is highly sativa dominate. I don't think either situations are cause for alarm though. They look good. I'd let her go for another week or two too. Let them mine that nitrogen out of their leaves some more (which they've already begun) and not feed em any more nutes.

Well, a bunch of help, tons of work, and ten hours later...
          
There was a TON of little nugs all over! I have more trimmings, and tiny buds than I know what to do with. I'm a bit overwhelmed. I've never had this much "junk" to deal with before. I don't want to waste it. Can't seem to find my bubble bags either. Advice?

Sorry it took so long to finish this up guys!
I finished up with well over a pound! 5+ ounces have gone to edibles, bubble hash, dabs/wax. Sold a few ounces, and have 11 ounces remaining in jars!
The buds weren't as dense as I would like, but man does this stuff taste and smell great! I'd say a very cheesy pineapple smell.
Pics to come asap!
