The Giggle Chronicles

I used the ph down because after my nutrients are added to water my ph jumps to 7 They both germinated within 32 hours in a rapid rooter, then transferred to my top-fed dwc. On my last grow I used soil and I let both plants share a 5 gal pot and they did better than I imagined, so for this grow now that I have a gd, I will do the same Instead of soil,i will use expanded hydro clay in a 10" net pot, I will do hydro top fed for the first few weeks then eventually the top fed system is useless until my next grow ,I'll start soon, I have 2 large 8" cylinder air stones and 2 large 5" cylinder airstones hooked up the a 35w air pum, right now I have most of all my equipment on the same timer as my light, 18/6, once the main tap root reaches the res. I'll turn my other equipment on to 24, except the light, I'm a firm believer in giving you baby girls a nights rest,💤 other equipment is two 15w fans and a 4" exhaust, I will add 1more fan and exhaust as soon as she's sturdy enough other than that I'm open to all pointers and tips, even with my growing history you find out something new every day if only I knew about this site a few years back I could've saved myself alotaand maybe even save others. You can call me Mr. Giggles or papa, I'm an old timer so I'm new to the lingo

Crazy stretching happened in the beginning due to my lack of light but ever since I had gotten my pro light they have done swell, I will give them mounds once the base is stable, 1 has a sturdy structure and 2 needs a little more time. Hopefully I can train by the end of week 3. Roots have just now reached out of the net pot but not yet touched the water I still have the top drip going should see explosive growth once roots reach the resovoir. Nothing but a waiting game I'll update pics throughout the weeks day by day. Third day update: I'm going to experiment and went ahead and topped the 1st plant early and I took support away also , I've also trimmed off their water leaves after third node showed on both plants. 2 plant still needs I Lil support I could take it away but I like to baby them till their good and strong. I realized that my portion of nutes are wrong I'm actually using 1/2 tsp/1gal for the first two nutes and the ph down I add 1ml/3gal to 2ml/3gal a day depending on the ph and the hydrogaurd I use 2ml/1gal. More pics tomorrow. Fourth day update: not much happened just keeping up with ph. Fifth day: didn't take pic this day, I just monitored ph. Sixth day update: Lotta growth Im really getting good vibes from this grow.

They were both topped to the third node removed all other nodes, starting the manifold base, I added bloom because my nutes are a trio set and I have noticed a slight difference, tomorrow is res. Change and I will leave out the bloom one more time to see any faster growth compared to the full trio growth. Noticed some burn spots so moved the light up a few inches to see if that is the problem so far no change it could take a few days to see these gals improve.

Had a little alge problem fixing it with peroxide I topped both plants twice to the third node, removed second nodes on all four branches now I have created my manifold base and my 8cola sights, I will continue in veg stage four more weeks or possibly longer depends on their size. Just lst from here on, including defoliation. I did some defoliating to force my shoots to grow, and open then up to more light.

looks like she's finally recovered from her second topping and lst, now just waiting for them to start branching, their root have went through the bottom of the net pot now their coming out the side of the pot, they both have 8 cola tops forming, and continue to lst, till they reach my desired height and we switch to flower, thanks for stopping by Ill continue to post progress on let. 👌

Upgraded some supplements and going into flower hopefully by the 26 , just waiting for that right height then preflower defoliation bring my light down to 18 inches and let them stretch to 12 if they don't receive any signs of light burn, gotta lot of bloom supplements for each flower stage, lovin this strain for sure.

no photos gotta update soon

I will add photos for week 8 and 9 and update all my info when I have the time

Flower fuel is really a 1/4 teaspoon
