Good news everyone ! After a short break I'm back to GD ! so glad to come back here,. I start with a new breeder from my growshop, I hope it'll be OK and I can remember how to take care of them. I put the seed in a soak paper towel and under a coffee cup for 48H and when I saw they start to open with the little root, I transplant them in the rock wool ( I pre-soak them with water at 5.2Ph with some drops of A+B and Root excelurator ) 48h more and the stem is now visible. 2/2 seeds have germinated 🙏 Now, I just have to wait for the rock wool to dry before add water and pry for nice whity roots ( I'm still jalous about Hydrohippy_1's plants roots ... ) See you next week !

Hello everyone ! Everything is going well, I've soaked the small rockwool only 1 time since the last update, I transplant them into the bigger rockwool the last week end, when I saw several roots under. I've stop covering them since I put them in big rockwool, humidity was too high and the rockwool would never dry. The plants looks OK, but the leafs are light green so I add more nutrient this time. Meanwhile, I'm cleaning my NFT system ( 2 GT205 20L capacity ) I meticulously washed them with bleach, (tank, cover, pump, etc ... ) and now I'm running the whole system with tap water with PH at 5.5 and high concentration of H2O2, I'll add H2O2 again after 2 days I'll let it run a few days ( until I transfert the plant into ) in order to completely clean ( and sanitize ) the system. See you next week !

Hi everyone ! Everything is OK, I've put them in the tank this sunday, with 20L of tap water + 12mL A + 12mL B + 0,075mL/L Roots Excelurator for each tank. Ph at 5.7. ( EC = 0.9/1 ) I change the water this evening and increase a bit nutrient ( leaves are light green, so it seem they need more food 😇 ) 20L of tap water + 15mL A + 15mL B and ph at 5.7. ( EC = 1/1.1 ) Roots are growing well, so I stop to use Roots Excelurator from now. Pump are ON for 15min, 3 time per day, ( only when light is on ) see you next week 👋

Hi Everyone ! Root progression was amazing this week, they grow so fast 😍 I flush the tank yesterday and fill it with 20L of water and 15mL of A+B and I don't know why but I add some Amino Treatment from House and garden I was a bit suspicious because it was very dark and viscous. What a mistake, today the water was completely brown and there is a brown deposit on the whole system ( pump+tank ). So today, I flush the tank again, I wash and rince them, then I add only water at PH 5.8 with some flashclean to clean the system. I'll let the pump run 24hours and tomorrow, maybe I'll flush them again, or just add nutrient in the water. I'll never use this nutrient again, and simply use A+B during Veg. Lesson learned, I can throw it to the bin 😤 Plant are going well and look healthy, the space between the node is very close, so they don't need more light, the lamp is at max height See you next week

Hi everyone ! This week was very impressive, they grow very fast. They're not very tall since I pinch the main stem last week, instead lower stems have grow well and the plant are ready for flowering 😍 I had to add nutrient 2 times this week when refilling the tank, EC was decreasing really quick. ( From 1.1 to 0.7. then from 1.2 to 0.8 ) I don't want to increase it too high in 1 time, I flush the tanks today so I increase a bit nutrient dose and I'll adjust it tomorrow Roots !!!! 😍 I know I'm a root fetishist but ... damn ! I really love how white and clean they are. See you next week 🙏

I change the whole solution, and add more nutrient this week ( EC decrease each day ) EC was at 1.8 yersterday and 1.5 today ( I will fill the tank tomorrow and add nutrient if it's too weak ).

Hi everyone ! I change the water today, and did some defoliation and LST. Since I didn't cut some leaves last weekend, it was a true mess ... there is so much leaves. I start adding Bud XL and some PK with A+B ( 31/05/2021 ) See you next week

Hi everyone ! Today I did a huge defoliation, I didn't cut any leaves last week so it was a jungle ... Plants are healthy, they produce lot of bud spot and leaves, they start being very tall now. I move the carbon filter outside so I can put the lamp higher, I hope it'll be OK because I can't put it higher !!

I change the whole water the 26 june, but I have big issue with humidity. The sensor inside the tent is stuck at 100% humidity and 90% outside ... I put lot of fan inside the tent and bring fresh air in the room, but I had to cut a bud due to mold. I think I'll start to flush them, and harvest earlier before the whole plant get full of mold.
