Day 29 - she grows very well
a. the shape of the plant has been formed
b. our environment is a bit hot, but the lady is growing very well after defoliation, trying to control the humidity, at night it goes down to 50%.
c. added 2L of nutrient solution mixed at double strength to get the PH up to 6.5, and the ppm to 600, was liberal with the Mineral Magic.
d. growth of the main has slowed just a bit as expected, the outer branches though are rising outward
Day 30 - growth explosion
a. she is growing well, leaving ventilation opened all the way up, humidity at 50%, heat is a bit high 29c, our region is very hot right now, I added more yeast to the CO2 generator, instantly started bubbling up again. Will keep the CO2 in there directed toward the plant.
b. ill be increasing the Mineral Magic as I go, adding Silica to any plant allows for them to withstand heat better
c. it seems my plant likes the 6.2 PH the best, the breeder recommends 6.5, but with DWC, it needs to be a little lower, 6 would probably be best.
Day 31 - growing well
a. there is growth all over the plant, she is very compact, but very vigorous
b. temperatures are around 28, humidity hanging aroung 55 with all vents opened up to lower temps
Day 32 - another growth explosion
a. she is taking off big time
b. environment is stable at 27 degrees and 55% humidity
c. removed the 2 largest fan leaves to allow light to now evenly hit the entire plant
Day 33 - growth observed all over
a. all is well, added 1L of double strength nutrients to the DWC
Day 34 - explosion occured
a. she has exploded her 4 branches out the sides, its still so young...
b. the DWC is running well, letting the PH hang right at 6
Day 35 - wow
a. the plant is doing very well
b. removed 2 main stem leaves to open coverage for branch growth
c. added 2L of plain mineral water to the DWC, ppm 600
@Ganjagrandaddy, that is some real clandestine knowledge for sure! I will add it to my toolkit! Thanks a million!! (: Luckily our environment is super clean, and the humidity is dropping fast!!!!!!
@SwissKush,as crazy as it sounds , raw milk at 20% ratio to water will kill mould spores at stem level and leave no nasties after . The milk has an enzyme that forces the mould spore to replicate WITH itself and not as another cell growth so it kills the spore by sterilising its ability to take hold. It is safe and as long as you dont keep drowning them and keeping them wet with the spray , the milk does not have time to go off and create any smell nor issues . Can leave a very light mark where contact was like a coating but wont damage anything at all and is all natural. No joke at all. Milk is a growers friend and can even benefit the soil when used in the feeds too. My 1st grow here was with breast milk as a nutrient !!!!! Add bicarb and tobacco steeped water and it is a killer for any soft bodies visitors as it suffocates them by closing their airways on contsct
@Ganjagrandaddy, Thanks SO much!!! She smells incredible! Our ventilation and fans have been going non stop, as well as about 5 trips a day to the tent to air the space out, shake the plant etc. Hoping the breeders claims to resilience is true! (: Any tips are welcome (: our box is outdoors, so using a dehumidifier cannot be done like our inside tent. We used to source hanging dehumidification bags, but since covid those are gone. Luckily the airflow around everything is great.
@Blabina, thanks a million! (: I think the reason my hydroponics always work well is A. I do not use a digital PH meter, I use chemical test always, B. I use 3% H202 to rid bacteria. C. I feed my plants the ppm levels they need in hydro, never use my ppms for soil or coco, it will wreck them.
