This is a attempt I made a while back to grow without organics, but was unable to do the diary at the time do to health and time constraints.
Seed was soaked in water for 20hrs then placed in a rapid rooter tucked in a 1 liter airpot filled with some soil I had on hand. The plan being to transplant after the first week into a 2gal. Phat sack filled with 50/50 coco pearlite, and feed with general hydroponics flora trio along with calmag .
She was transplanted on day 11 into a 2gal phat sack filled with 50/50 coco/pearlite
Day 14 I topped her at the third node.
This is my first attempt at topping so will see how it goes
I watered her in with 64oz of water pH 6.3 and added 1/4 tsp calmag next watering I will start adding micro and grow as well
She took to the topping no problem and gained 2.5 inches this week. I have started to give her micro and grow at about 1/4 strength along with the calimagic every other watering. Pretty much 64oz every other day with about 6 to 10 oz runoff. pH runs about 5.9 - 6.3
She went from 5.5"to 10" in the course of the week.
72oz every other day
Nutes every other watering
Using GH Flora trio and Cal Mag at
1/2 tsp per gallon for all 4
At day 42 she was 15" and going gangbusters. Still just a few stray hairs so much slower to flower than previous grows with autos. Also clearly the topping and small pot did not work for keeping her small lol
Friggin thing is huge but buds are lagging way behind compared to other grows I have done . If they catch up with the rest of the plant there could be some serious yield from the beast
She was cut on day 136 way later than I would have liked but I was struggling with some health issues around that time a had to put off the harvest longer than I would have liked. She was grown in a two gallon pot filled with 50/50 coco perlite and fed with general hydroponics flora trio and CaliMagic She grew to 34 inches tall by 26"×26" wide
wider once her ties were removed.
Yield was impressive 151gr dry bud and probably another 100gr or moreof tiny budlets that I just cut up and threw in with the trim for making hash at a later date.
I was curious about this type of grow and now I can say I tried it. But I think I will be sticking with the water only soil grows that I have been doing. I find it to be a much more relaxing and forgiving way to grow that better suits my style.
