Week 1. Vegetation

Strong
She underwent a lot of stress due to high water temps, I almost removed it from my tent. These photos are would be what I consider week 1growth, I had a learning curve moving to LED, as my seed sprouted its main top died because I had the LED to bright/ to close, Being My last Critical orange punch seed I tried my best to save it, She sprouted 2 tiny heads and was still growing very slow, I did more adjustment of the light and removed one of the new heads to bring it back to a single stem, At this point it had been about 2-3 weeks since sprouting and was the time I started taking photos, At this point I was ready to start again from clone but being my last seed I pushed on.

never hold back on my training when doing solo plant flowers, only using Green House powder feeding and a PH water, its as simple as that K.I.S.S. As shown this strain had a very tight internode spacing, the tightest I've ever seen.

Humidity got very low, air temps hitting 39, water temps were hitting 33c on a regular, but she punched on, this strain is as strong as they come, dont let anyone tell you you cant do dwc in high water temps.

K.I.S.S. Changed to Green Houses Hybrid powder for flower, I've never bothered to be precise when adding my powder to my res, I fill a 20L bucket and put about 1and a half/2 scoops in the bucket, giving me a EC around 2

At this point she was drinking more then 4L a day and due to the root mass that was about all i could fit in the res at the time so I had to mock up a external res and convert the system to RDWC K.I.S.S.

all PH water no nutrient, looking amazing, smelling very gassy. Throughout the grow I was fighting PH issues, on a daily the PH would drop to 4 and I would bring it back up to 6.3-6.5, I tried many different things to fight the problem, pen calibration, res cleans, roots dunked in peroxide mix, doing no PH adjustment to see if there was something in the nutrient causing it and I also tried without nutrient just plain water, everything I tried had the same result PH of 4 by the next day. the water level hose would get occasional algae in it that I would clean but my research has lead me to believe this will not cause the PH issue, so I am really left with root disease , although my roots were a lovely white-light yellow and there was nothing visible to the eye its the only thing I can think of that would cause the PH issues and during veg I did encounter a period were my water temps were very high, if you have any experience with this problem please comment, unfortunately got very hard to take root pictures once I put the net on so I apologize for lack of root photos. As I maintained this PH problem daily in my opinion it wasn't as much of a problem as it was an annoyance, I believe I would have had closer to 1g per watt with a stable PH, but non the less I am very happy with this grow

This would have to be by far the grow I am proudest of, I honestly couldn't be happier with the outcome, The taste is absolutely amazing, the high is more then anyone could ask for, And the smell is well, GASSY AF. This phenotype was absolutely amazing, and to be honest I only have Dutch Passion to thank, This will be a grow I will always remember back to, 12.5 oz dry mostly didn't trim as its all personal and THC coated. To Add: Throughout the grow I was fighting PH issues, on a daily the PH would drop to 4 and I would bring it back up to 6.3-6.5, I tried many different things to fight the problem, pen calibration, res cleans, roots dunked in peroxide mix, doing no PH adjustment to see if there was something in the nutrient causing it and I also tried without nutrient just plain water, everything I tried had the same result PH of 4 by the next day. the water level hose would get occasional algae in it that I would clean but my research has lead me to believe this will not cause the PH issue, so I am really left with root disease , although my roots were a lovely white-light yellow and there was nothing visible to the eye its the only thing I can think of that would cause the PH issues and during veg I did encounter a period were my water temps were very high, if you have any experience with this problem please comment, unfortunately got very hard to take root pictures once I put the net on so I apologize for lack of root photos.
