It was so hard to like that post, but I’m glad you got your wife and family outta there. I’ve never slapped anyone before, but if I heard anyone say that to my wife, they’d come out lookin like two-face from batman.
You did the right thing, never doubt that.
Cheers

Sorry you and your wife had to put up with that. Some people are just sorry sons of bitches.
tough situation buddy, but think you did the right thing standing up for your wife.
good luck with everything and thanks for the journal - will be checking in for updates as I’m a sucker for DWC
Thanks for all the well wishes and everything. I really appreciate it. We’re back home now. I’ll do an update on the plants later.
So, as I expected, ones doing fantastic and the other may as well be dead. Don’t have time to start and finish another one now, so we’re just gonna hope for the best on the one that’s left.
CDLC Day 13
WC Day 15
Just realized it’s been 10 days since I last updated. The CDLC is pretty damn branchy. Did some minor training to the lower branches. Some light defol as well.
CDLC Day 23
Edit: Just realized I haven’t done much with this. Still running off the initial fill I made 21 days ago. Prolly should empty that out and do a fresh fill.
CDLC Day 26
Finally did a full reset on the tub today. 3gal of my standard mix. Hoping I didn’t double down on the pool shock. Seemed like an empty syringe when I sprayed it the first time, so I gave it another shot. Some more light defol and training. Trying to get as many shoots to the light before it stretches as possible. Only one shot at this round, so trying to make the best of it.
Lookin like a nice bushy kushy startin up, you gettin any nose off her while you’re messin around?
Not much yet. A slight green smell when I open the cab, but I haven’t checked for stem rubs or anything yet.
word word, she still early. I love that chem taste/smell
CDLC Day 34
Not much to say. The stretch is over. Been doing some light prunning every couple of days to open up bud sites. Did some minor training of bottom branches, but left the main shoot alone this time. Hoping for 2-3oz off of this plant. It’s definitely not the monsters we had a little bit ago, but im confident we aren’t going to have any mold problems this time.
Just because I peeked at it to see if she needed water and thought she looked good.
Just realized I need to fix my white balance.
Looking fantastic CMB!
Proper update time.
Day 35
3 gal standard nute sequence, but bumped the pool shock an extra 3ml to account for the gallon left over in the reservoir.
The roots on this thing are pretty diesel.
Some glamor shots:
Damn that plant is a BEAST!
Those roots are ridiculous, lookin awesome!!!
Thanks yall!
I’m really happy with her so far. Super easy grow to this point. Only topped her off twice in addition to the initial 4 gallons. VERY minimal training, tied maybe 5 or 6 branches to even 'em up with the lower canopy somewhat and raised the light a couple times. Wish she wasn’t alone though. Had like 5 other seeds that didn’t take this round and my other seedling croaked.
Gonna have to replace my airstones or figure out how to clean em better before the next run. They’re just not pumping out air all that well. Managed to get the one in this tub working better by rubbing it, so maybe just a good cleaning. Also need to black out the lid too. Tired of the algae growing on the inside. Thinking that flex seal spray can in black.
Day 38
Just spread out her branches a bit to let more light in and get some more airflow through her.
aquarium nerds have success cleaning them but its a bit of a process - you’ve gotta clean the inside too. a lot of different ways to do it, but basically:
- Scrub/clean outside of stone, rinse, dry
- boil in water, dry
- soak in either bleach or hydrogen peroxide, water soak, dry
- run in water with air pumping as a final rinse, final dry
way easier to do a few at a time with all the dry cycles.
