Some growth, my little plant is still getting established but she's healthy.
I have decided to buy a cheap peltier system, the water temperatures are spooky for me, it should arrive somewhere this week, speaking of water, I had brown foam which scared me, after emailing the growers over at Plagron, they informed me its perfectly normal and a sign the bacterial conversion has started, still, they recommended to only add the organic nutrients 2 days before a tank change, so I'll listen to that sage advice.
but for now, I'm not sure if I want to add organics and bennies, we'll see.
Still shooting for around 0.8 EC, and trying to figure out how much pH down it takes to swing from 6 to 5.5, it's tricky. her roots are not coming out of the net pot yet, but they are submerged, I feel like my soil plants usually start exploding around day 7 - 8. In comparison this plant seems to be a tiny bit behind, she's healthy and doing good though.
Maybe they need a little more time to get established in hydro, or, more likely; I slightly stunted this girl transplanting early and forgetting about RH
I think I will veg for 5 weeks, still debating between FIMing and Topping for this run.
Thank you for checking out week 1 of my growth Diary of T.H.Seeds' Stracciatella, have a nice day & keep growing.
@Canna96, Using a Samsung Galaxy s20. it has a wide angle lens for close ups, I oddly prefer it to a jewellers loupe or a Microscope for checking trichomes :)
Great job taming that female so far!!!
Nice canopy coverage.. she is looking really healthy aswell :D
Seems like she took some time to transition to flower, the buds are a bit underdeveloped for week 4 of flower, I am surprised she already has resin coverage, looking like she might turn out special :D
Good luck with the rest of the grow m8!
@BelgianBudtender,
Nice!
Good that she is not showing hermie signs... I had that too often in my past year of DWC grows with heavy defoliations...
In DWC with green sensation I used to put around 1/3 of the dosage, not more than 1/2, and I would give it starting around day 21 of flower -> basically when they are done stretching. I guess in DWC the dosage also depends on how much small air bubbles you pump in the water, the more air the more nutrients they can take up I think, anyway if you passed the first 3 weeks of flower and don't notice much stretch I would definitely add green sensation and if you want to be careful just start at low dosage e.g. 0.2ml/L
@Slurpy_Terpy, Yup I noticed that, too. I did have some slip ups in the first or second week of flower, I wonder if that caused the delayed flowering, or if its just the strain its a 9 week finisher, not a lot of diaries out there to compare to. I'm keeping a vigilant eye for any bananas or hermies, but so far I seem to have dodged that bullet.
that or I should've started adding PK sooner, either way, I'm running 1 Ml/l of Plagron Green sensation now in week 5 so she'll have plenty, The plant has also been completely stripped of the overgrown and shaded foliage so there's little other places aside from buds for her to focus her energy on now :P
Hi! Looking good but really cannot see buds very well, maybe you can take some pics after light off with flash? Always looks so much betrer and trichomes are more visible...
Even when leds on with a flash gives better pics too.
Anyway all the best fellow Gardener!
Hello there! Thank you for sharing your time lapse video, I love to watch those!
That is when you truly see in fact those are not only leafs but wings too!
Yes the heat can stunt them... if you have the chance to move your grow to a better cooler place I would do it especially with hydro water might be too warm, do you use hydrogen peroxide in your system? You can use some ozone too and rinse those tubing, it helps getting rid of gunk, and a weaker solution passed through to roots also helps keeping them white and fresh...
All the best for this week!
