Started with all 3 in paper towel. As 2 popped I put them into a rockwool cube (PH5.6) each and put under the dome. Will wait till morning and check the third seed.
Edit: All 3 popped and are in the rockwool cubes now
I havent done anything other than watch over the past week. Added a little water (ph6) yesterday to the rockwool. One of the seedlings came out all weird. If anyone has any suggestions to when I should move them into the Ebb & Flow that would be cool.
They got moved from the seedling dome into the Ebb and Flow set up. Currently got the light 24inches up. PH is at 5.8 with 150ml of Professors Nutrients A and B to 50L. Also some Professors Nutrients GoRoots 10ml to 50L. Running the Ebb and Flow every 6 hours. Takes 5min to fill and about 7 min to drain. If anyone knows why one of them has skinny leaves I'd love your feedback
Ive started to notice some light green appearing around the veins of the leaves. They are only a few weeks old and I just moved them into the set up yesterday. I am running the nutrients at half the recommended Veg amount for the first week in the set up. Is everything normal?
Chevy is correct. 400 ppm to start and if you see good growth, in hydroponics, then you increase 100 ppm every week until you reach 8 to 900 ppm. Keep your water cooled and make sure your ph remains stable, adjusting as necessary every day. As Chevy says a good ppm reader is essential for hydroponics and just about any other way of growing. Cheers
Seen quite a lot of growth this week. Had some nutrient problems where I gave to much nutrients to soon. Luckily some more experienced growers on here set me in the right direction. I went and got a EC meter and now I am measuring the water EC, Temp and PH. Far more accurate. I had WAY to much nutrients in the reservoir before! Starting to see some roots come out of all three now!!! A lot of root growth in the past week.
Im getting a little curl on the edges of the leaves, I thought maybe the lights are too close so I lifted them about 2.5cm (1inch).
Also added a humidifier and am running between 60% and 70% humidity.
Anyway If anyone notices anything or has any tips please let me know in the comments.
Happy growing :)
Curling on edges. Watering for 5min flood 6min drain every 6 hours only in the hydron clay not upto the rockwool. Im monitoring the Humidity and temperatures like crazy.
Ph 5.8
Ec 0.8
Water Temp 22c
Day air temp 25c
Night air temp 18c
Humidity 60%
Light Height 26"
Leaf canoeing is usually a sign of heat stress, so raising your light was good. Your humidity levels when growing hydroponically can be less than dirt or soiless growing. 50% in veg is a-ok. 70% getting a little high and they can start to transpire. Cheers
What crazy growth in the last week! All the girls are looking super healthy and loving the environment in the tent! Ive upped the reservoir to 500ppm and still have it sitting around 5.8ph. Going to keep bringing it up about 100 ppm per week now.
Started some LST just really gently. This is my first grow so im being super careful.
As always, see anything or wanna let me know anything plz just leave a comment.
Happy growing
These girls are stretching like it's Yoga class. Seen huge amount of growth in the past week. Definitely in preflower now and hoping to get another week or two before they are in flower. Turned on the carbon filter as the smell is starting to become more noticeable.
Been doing a bit more LST, just really gentle as they are autos and I dont want to stress them to much.
As always if you see anything or just want to give me some tips. Feel free to comment!
Til next week ;)
Happy growing!
And they are into flower. Every time I touch the my hands are left smelling like candy. Ive had no problems at all in the last week. They have just been growing like crazy before my eyes! Started adding some PK enhancer and keeping my PH around 6 now. Just added another fan as the canopy is getting quite dense. Dont want to defoliated to much as I believe stressing autos can be a hassle.
As always if you notice anything or just wanna give me some tips lmk!
Till next week! Happy growing!
The last week has gone really smooth. One of the plants is showing some signs of calcium deficiency so I've added a bit extra cal-mag this week to see if it makes any difference. All three plants are running out of the same reservoir so its strange that two are doing fine and the other one is showing deficiencies considering they are the same genetics. The one showing deficiencies also is already showing a smaller yield. Still early days though.
Plants are starting to get pretty close to the lights and ive run out of room height wise. Hoping to get a scrog net at some point. I want to add another fan also. Other than that I feel everything is going smooth.
As always, if you see anything or just wanna contribute hmu in the comments.
Otherwise till next week. Happy growing.
Girls are in flower! Looking nice and frosty and very pungent in smell! Two grew quite tall and I had to pull them back down a bit which will most likely affect the yeild but oh well still doing great for a first grow! Defoliated the canopy a bit more to try and bring down humidity. Going to add two more fans this week.
As always if you see anything of wanna lmk anything comment!
Happy growing!
Girls are growing a lot bigger than I expected for autos. Bud sites are super frosty and sticky! The smell is amazing! Very sweet almost like candy. Still a few more weeks to go so im sure it's going to fill out heaps more.
As always if you notice anything or just wanna say hi comment below.
Till next week.
Happy growing.
Buds are growing in size now! Ive had to tie some up with pipe cleaners because they are getting to heavy. Not to sure how much longer they got. Maybe another week or two then flush in the dark for a week then havest.
As always. Hmu or comment if you wanna.
Otherwise till next week.
Happy growing!
This week has seen heaps of bud growth. Im learning so much from my this being my first grow. The buds are getting to heavy for the plants and are making the plant droop in areas. Ive tried to tie the buds up where I can. During the reservoir change this week I had a accident where I bent one of the plants main stem 90 degree. I splinted it and tied it so it will stay upright. Doesn't seem to have bothered it.
Had a issue with the pump after the reservoir change and didnt realise for 24hrs when the plants started to look quite thirsty.
All fixed now. Hoping to harvest in 2-3 weeks. All depends.
Anyways, until next week.
Happy growing!
Ladies are getting to the end now. Maybe a couple more weeks. Starting to really struggle with managing the reservoir. Need to reconsider how im going to design it for the next grow. They are looking so frosty and smell absolutely amazing! This is the most exciting part of the grow. Rounding the final corner and onto the straight!
As always if you see anything or want to give advice hmu in the comments.
Till next week.
Happy growing!
Looking good.. I just recently harvested a Zkittlez Auto from ILGM but mine was in coco coir. I cant seem to keep a plant alive from seed to harvest in hydro.. I always end up having to transplant into soil or coco.. But you seem to have it down! Good job! Thanks for sharing! Check out my zkittlez auto if you wanna see what you could end up with! She made the fattest colas I have ever harvested! But she did make ALOT of nanners toward the end.. Heat stress was an issue also (and having the lights to close) and mine was Nitrogen sensitive in flower.. I had to cut out ALOT of the micro nutes I use because they contain the most nitrogen.. But luckily I caught it pretty quick because my last grow (Purple Lemonade auto) had the same issue but I didnt cut out the micro nutes as much as I should have.. Very airy nugs.. Not fat at all.. Taste kinda sucked too.. But live and learn! Good luck with your grow! They are smooth sailing so far! 👍
@Bigbootygrows,
Well she has been drying for about 6 days.. And by the looks of it, I will be trimming, weighing and jarring and updating my grow diary tomorrow!
@Professor_Chaos, cheers. Yeah ive been following your grow and if I get anything like what you did ill be very happy. This is my first grow and it seems to be going pretty good. Thanks for the heads up on the nitrogen during flower. Ill keep a eye on my nutrients. How many grams do you think you will get after drying?
Looking pretty sweet. Great choice, great strain. I’ve run ILGM zkittlez a few times and all have been solid producers…really good smoke too! Good luck!
