Welcome and thank you for checking out week 2 of my stracciatella dwc project!
This run might involve a few more mistakes and learning curves I had not first anticipated, first of, i'm still trying to figure how to swing pH, I don't think the plant is appreciating her water making massive jumps in pH as it has been doing, as a result of all of this, growth has been a little slower, but the plant looks healthy and now at the start of week 2, is finally established and has a few roots touching the nutrient water, I've got the reigns back on this grow, for now.
I've decided on my feeding schedule, and since there's not a lot of people growing with Plagron in DWC, I'll have to experiment myself.
I have taken Steven from Plagron's advice and will be running synthetic nutrients during the week, adding organic additives to my reservoir at the end of the week, and refreshing my reservoir with fresh water after the weekend.
so for now in week 2 my 20L bucket its
Monday to Friday 1200 EC of Hydro A&B
Friday to Monday 20 ml of Power roots & Pure Zyme get added to the reservoir
It makes me a bit nervous, you can see the brown water and foam from the organics in the pictures, its for sure going to stain my roots, but we will see!
I have installed a Webcam in my tent, and will try to create a time-lapse of growth next week, which should be fun.
@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!
