Here we are guys in the third week of the journal, last week I had some concern about the ph which was spiking at 7+ overnight but the problem solved it self when the roots started to shoot in to the water. my other concern was the temp inside the grow box which i solved buying a second hand portable ac (40€! such a bargain) now as you can see the girl is thriving and the roots too!! as you can see in the picture i put a white bed sheet around the black container so the water won't get hot, it works AMAZINGLY now the water goes in the hotter day at max 21.2 and than goes back to 20. Day 20 hey guys a small update, yesterday i topped the girl, i have only one concern, the plant is so damn bushy and the lower side shoots are almost covering the shoots on the the side of the topping. looking close i thought that maybe I had to top one set of leaves lower because under the fan leaves she is really really bushing everything is exploding but the plant still quite short, 7cm (2.7 inches) is that ok? apart from this i can't complain, the dwc system is working amazingly and the pland is healthy. please feel free to give suggestion comments or critics love you all I think the plant looks a bit bit pale so as I am writing this i added a 0.5 ml of flora micro to the res to add nitrogen, we will see how she reacts in the next days. In the next days I will top her and start some lst

Hi, same size tent as my old one, an heat was always a problem unless I left the tent door half unzipped. I can recommend having a fan inside the tent, instead of blowing air from outside in, use your extractor to draw the hot air out otherwise it will just hinder and cause high humidity, especially after watering. Once you have the fan in there and your extractor sucking the hot air out of the tent, whichever room your tent is in, leave that window open.. You'll be surprised how much it helps maintain a steady temperature as the outside of the tent being cool will keep the inside of the tent a good temp. Otherwise the whole room just cooks, had that problem and I really didn't enjoy it! Let me know how it goes and hope it helps you out.

I agree with @Michka, if the solution is at 6, she will recover just fine. One more thing, in about 3 of your photos, the tips of your leaves have browned. I think your nute levels might be a little high. In the past for me, just adding more water helped lower the PPM. Those tips will never go back to fully green, but they won't get worse and all your new leaves will look great. The plant will be fine.

first off, you're doing great! it's usually not safe to go off breeders' seed-to-harvest times. I'd recommend using a magnifying tool to check out the trichomes. her trichomes will tell you when she's ready to harvest.

JuicyBuds__BLMcommented6 years ago
@GrowingTime, It looks like even the trichomes on the sugar leaves are mostly cloudy with a bit of amber and clear. She looks like shes in the harvest window. You could let her go a few more days if you're flushing for color or wanting more amber trichs. Otherwise most of the pics you posted look like mostly milky trichs, so you could harvest whenever. thats my opinion lol

@JuicyBuds__BLM, I checked them today and I can already see many amber trichomes, I will try to snap some pics and add it to the 13th week, hope you can give me your opinion

you're very welcome! a common harvest point is mostly cloudy with a little bit of clear and a bit of Amber. but clear trichomes are the earliest, it'll look like little balls of clear water. then they'll progress into cloudy water to a milky faint white color. after that, they'll turn an Amber/orange color.make sure to check all over the plant too, on different bud sides and sugar leaves.

@GrowingTime, I'm not sure. That may be a little outside of my past experience. Any chance you can post a photo?

The 3rd & 4th pics look fine. I wouldn’t worry about the round leaves. They’ll fall off in a few weeks anyway.

@DudeGrowsWeed, you are right! it was just some beginner paranoid behaviour. I understood i just have to let her grow

Forgot to add, if your still having problems.. Replace the fan with a little air conditioning unit doesn't need to be super expensive either. Amazon/Ebay I'm sure you could find one on there for a reasonable price as the one I have was a few 100 but its now for my bigger space. Cant go wrong with that! Good luck!

Head over to my diary and click on "week 2". The 1st photo looks alot like yours. I'm growing a different strain which I think may account for some minor differences, but they really look alot alike to me. I think your plant is doing great!
