HydroGrow // Sweet Lavender Cheese

Day 1 in the RDwC Water chiller is busted so I’m going to rely on ice packs until the new one gets here in a few days. Water is sitting at 72° for now so it’s not horrible I sterilized the water with Shock in the meantime to prevent bacteria and algae. Everything seems good so far, super excited for this grow!

Great growth! It’s incredible how much faster they grow in hydro systems! Everything’s looking good Not changing res yet as the roots just started getting full into the water so I’ll give them another week to drink up what’s in there and then change with stronger nutes. PHperfect seems to be working well Keeping it around 6.0ph Got my chiller setup but made the ph jump a bit so may have to keep an eye on that.

God these girls are getting massive already! It’s amazing the difference in growth with hydroponics Massive leaves and strong robust roots, super happy and really impressed so far. Ppm staying stable at 600-610ppm over the week Water chiller is amazing and keeping water at 65°F Ph stable at 5.9 with the TorusHydro PerfectPH Would def recommend it!

Lots of growth. Some issues with a couple leaves clawing down, not sure if it’s an N excess issue or if the new Co2 canister is too much so I dialed it back a bit and bought bigger air stones just to be sure it’s not an oxygen problem inside the root zone Update: Things have gotten much better! The clawed leaves seem to have stretched out and fixed themselves. This has however caused some very slight foliar damage but nothing to be too concerned about. Massive growth since last week! Pms dropped a bit which means they are liking the level of nutes Drank a shit load of water though so that’s a bit crazy.

Flipped them today 12/12 Worried by next week they will be too big lol They are absolute monster maniacs with water right now Nearly 6-7 gal between the two of them in 2 ish days! Crazy! Taking nutes just fine, I think I’m at the sweet spot for them, maybe a tiny bit too much but I’m thinking 50ppm so not too crazy. Had some issues with high humidity while I was gone but they seem fine, gonna do a big defoliation in a few days to open up some air for the leaves

Still growing a lot! Getting a bit nervous regarding my height limit here now lol Hopefully I’ll be okay Still defoliating and lollipopping the base. First signs of sex showing, First week of flowering schedule + nutes

Well I’ve officially lost control of these girls... 😞😩😭 Week 4 flower and they are still stretching!!! Had to pinch a few branches that were on the light or just passed, I’m just going with the flow now with high hopes and prayers P.s I topped these bitches ONE time!! And flipped them when they were about 12 inches tall!!!!

I think the stretch has finally finished hahaha fuck me right? Buds are forming very nicely! Unfortunately because of the size and widened girth of these heffers there’s going to be a lot of popcorn buds in the mid section. I’ve tried to defoliate enough without causing too much stress and essentially leaving the girls leafless but there’s just way too much going on! Everything seems good, humidity is a little high but nothing I can do honestly with limited room. Didn’t expect them to be this big so I’m keeping an eye out for wpm and we’ll hope for the best!

This continues to be the weirdest grow ever! Some mains are golden yellow some are still white lol! Very curious! Unfortunately like with most sativas, dealing with some foxtailing. Not the worse yet but definitely happening on a few. Could be from light stress also. All in all solid week, chopped a ton of lower branches off (last time to do it) Got a metric fuck ton of larf and useless branches / foliage out.
