Marijuana DWC Bucket Flowering Stage Presented by Scootter82 of DenverGrows |

A friend of mine actually built the bucket from scratch and gave me the plant (a clone) already vegged in the bucket. In my last grow, I used a soil hybrid, and heavily LST'd the plant. This time I was fortunate enough to be given a plant already in a DWC bucket. I built a custom ScrOG setup for my tent. You can see what she looked like at harvest (pictured to the right)
Jump down to the full supplies list (with pictures) so you can create this exact setup for yourself Strain: Critical Hog (from clone) Growing Area: 2' x 2' Grow tent Grow Lights: Combination of 150W HPS & 240W LED Nutrients: I used the full line of General Hydroponics Flora series including their Floralicious Additive, but without Flora Nectar Here's the GH Flora Series Expert Recirculating Nutrient Schedule I followed. Temperature:
Temps were in the upper 80s when the lights were on, probably as low as the 50's some nights when they're off. I'm in CO, after all! Humidity: Humidity was usually around 45 - 55%, really didn't have to worry about it while growing. However during drying, I actually had to bring in my humidifier to make sure buds didn't dry too fast. Air Circulation: As you can see from the setup list, I had one ionizer air filter circulating air down low, and a small clip fan up top between the colas and lights.
Jump down to the supplies list and create this exact setup for yourself Veg Time I want to say the plant was vegged for about a month. It came from a clone a friend gave me. I tend to flower plants on the early side. Next time I will probably let the plant veg a bit longer to fill up under the screen more. Watch colas fatten up from week 5 of the flowering stage until harvest! (HPS and LED both turned on) I have a 240W LED light in the rear of the tent and a 150W HPS in the front. That's why it's pinker in the back and more yellowish towards the front when the HPS and LED lights are on. The nug in the back right and the nug in the front left are the two main colas. Here's the same plant in normal light - watch from flowering day 42 to harvest. More Pictures and Info! Day 42 of Flowering View full photo album: http://imgur.com/a/P2ryf The plant was just transplanted to a custom made DWC bucket.
The nug in the back right and the nug in the front left are the two main colas. It was topped during veg. But the one in the front left is bent over a lot more, so that's kind of why it looks smaller. It's just squished under the wire. But I'm really curious how they turn out. During the last grow, I rotated the plant daily. This time it's stationary, throughout. Day 57 of Flowering

A week or so ago, when the plant was transplanted, I snapped the main stems a little (where it'd been previously topped). I immediately used some string to pull the break together a little bit and poured some agave nectar in the break to help seal things up. She never really showed any signs of stress, though I'm sure it stunted some bud growth. Harvest time! Day 83 of Flowering View full photo album: http://imgur.com/a/aVdEu This Critical Hog plant flowered about 83 days. The flowering period for this strain is 8 - 14 weeks. I wanted to shoot for a longer flowering period to get more of a couch lock, stoney high. I work a graveyard shift and this should help put my ass out, lol. Critical Hog is supposed to be a heavy indica. Drying/Curing: Drying/curing in CO is a little different from what I'm used to, coming from a more humid/sea level area. I noticed my first few grows up here, the bud dried out much faster. I was originally thinking 12 days hang time, but had to take them down after 6, and I thought that was pushing it. For this grow, I decided to bring in my humidifier for the drying process, and it was the right choice. Harvest Weight: 127g total yield or about 4.5 ounces! Here's a pic of just one Critical Hog nug. This one was 7g of the total 127g!

This trophy pic came to us without any information besides the growers alias: Snuchie.Regardless, the quality of the photo compelled me to post it anyway!
I realize the vegetative stage is the easiest in terms of keeping a plant healthy, but...jeez does that plant look healthy!
