pollazo_galanazo It's the first time I'm growing in a hydroponic system, I must say that I see the plants developing well. Just today I changed the solution, let's see how it turns out.

pollazo_galanazo We're in the third week, and I see some leaves at the bottom of the more developed plant a bit burned. The pH has been between 6.5 and 7.3; sometimes in hydro, I've read that the pH rises for no apparent reason. The actual EC of the solution is 1.1, and I've been adding too much pH Down because it keeps rising uncontrollably. On top of that, where I live, we've been at 32°C, and I've had the extraction and ventilation running almost all day to keep the grow temperature at 26°C. I think it will take at least 3 weeks for the plants to cover the net by 70%.

pollazo_galanazo This week they really took off, sorry for the quality of the photos, I don't know how to make those black stripes go away. This week I added a 400 W sodium light to speed up growth and it definitely made a difference. I estimate about 3 more weeks at least to fill the net.

pollazo_galanazo This week they already started reaching the SCRoG net, I hope it covers well, although I will switch them to flowering soon since my closet is small. I noticed that the plants have excess nitrogen, so I added Florakleen to break down the excess salts and reduced the fertilizer dose. Thanks to your support, I think my photos are turning out a bit better now.

pollazo_galanazo I had to switch to flowering this week because my closet doesn't allow for more weeks in vegetative, due to space; they're already really big and I know they'll grow twice as much in flowering, so I decided to switch to flowering before I regret it. But from what I see, the space is too small for the genetics and the type of cultivation. This week I saw that they recovered and they already smell quite a bit, like roasted coffee.

pollazo_galanazo This week they stretched a lot, they almost don't fit in the closet anymore. I think the main problem will be space, because it's only the second week and they haven't shown signs of flowering, other than some branches with female pre-flower. I don't want to resort to cutting tall branches, but if I can't control it next week, there won't be an option.

pollazo_galanazo They keep stretching too much, the space really got super small, I'm going to have to tie them up or something because they won't stop growing :S, this week their smell changed a bit, they smell like fine woods, lemon, and fuel with an earthy background.

pollazo_galanazo I have to say that for being my first hydroponic grow, I got good results. There were too many mistakes from which I learned, and now I will implement new techniques and improve what turned out to be a limiting factor in this grow. Overall, I can say that it's a spectacular genetic variety; however, my inexperience didn't allow it to develop its phenotypes to the fullest.
