Day 15 - Added Nutrients. Went with the light feed on the feed charts full strength. Starting EC for my tap water was .238( 112 PPM ). Did 2 buckets of 15L. In total added ( 29ml Micro, 27 Grow, 21 Bloom and 8ml cal-mag since I am using tap water ) EC came to .843 before adding PH down.
Day 16 - .678 EC and 6.3 PH. Added 1ml PH down. Second node is looking a bit bigger.
Day 17 - .685 EC and 5.4 PH. My ph pens are both out of calibration. Going to calibrate them both today and hopefully stabilize my PH.
Day 18 - .734 EC and 6.1 PH. Can only notice a bit of twisting from the PH swing. Everything is looking good now.
Day 19 - .813 EC and 6.0 PH. Noticed some lighter green spots on the lower leaves.
Day 20 - .807 EC and 6.0 PH. I think the spots are from the low PH on day 17. They are now showing up on the upper leaves
Day 21 - .815 EC and 6.0 PH. Everything has been steady this week.

It was a good week. Introduced nutrients. She tripled in size.
Maybe you can make a moisture dome. Just cut a plastikbottle with closure, and put it on. Open, so she wont be hot and have moist air. Look at my big bud auto grow, there's one on photos.
Good luck.
@KingSalomonsWeed, Thats actually a good idea, I noticed not even 10 min after I put some moisture on the head it started to open more. Gotta be the low RH drying out the shell and making it difficult to shed
Okay, I'm coming back to read this word for word when I get off work. I have the dual part try pack with ripen for the last 2 wks. And I've tons of enzymes and root stims but I'm gonna keep it simple. Gonna run 1 hopefully like yours or even close and the other I'm running with jungle juice trio and enzymes root stims. Excellent diary..look forward to coming back to it. Tell me, is that just all roots, wow!!!!
@gottagrowsometime, I never disturb the roots unless I cant figure out a leaf issue and think I have rot. I would imagine disturbing them would cause some stress. Always use air stones or agitate the water and keep it from going stagnant. kratky method works, but adding air and topping up is not much more work and seems to give better results. If your going to do an RDWC look into pipe size and root clogs.
@Chow_13, Hmmmm, okay. Idk how hot my stag water will get in these tanks. I think I'll buy a res tank and turn them into RDWC as they are tanks you can use in a system or set it up for DWC, there is a tube on the side to check the water for PH and I'm just gonna fill it up by way of adding water to it and when I change it I'm just gonna drain them and try not disturb the root growth. I've read somewhere it's not good to keep lifting up the roots and disturbing growth, would that be right? And also itll allow me to do a scrog if I wanted without too much hassel. Cause if so I think I'm gonna buy a res tank and the pump and use the air stones also. It should help with temps.
Okay. Well what I read is 21c is the range your liquids should be close to the substrate, but that's in regards to soil and coco. I have 3 different nute brand to use so I'm gonna play around with AN/terra power nutes on 1, mainly the jungle juice for base nutes and terra P hold the pattens and are the ppl who actually make voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha. So really looking forward to trying what they got. I know you not into root stims. But they have the best micro enzyme out there atm. 50 billion microbes per 1ml. Crazy. I've seen a few personal pics I got from the manger and the growth is f..king crazy with this stuff and just their base nutes. 3 nutes and a soil grow. Very impressive stuff.
Ah yeah I get u. I'd probably run the res tank outside the tent.
@gottagrowsometime, Only auto I grew was FB last year outside in soil. Defoliated way to much and then got bud rot.
As for the temp I have read mixed opinions but the conciseness is that keeping the water below 72F to keep root rot away.
I have not seen any studies or comparative grows with different temp ranges with marijuana.
I have read that some people swear by 64F because it holds more oxygen in the water(colder water holds more then warmer).
But does the plant really benefit from it. I have no idea.
As for my temps It will range between 65-68F. I could prob lower that fluctuation since my air pump is in the top corner of my tent so it pumps hot air from the light.
Thanks for answering my question! I'm very impressed by your plant here - Very nice. I honestly thought my plant might be worthless, but I'm now filled with hope after seeing your success here. Thank you.
Hey!
Nice journal!
I can see that the seedling was really stuck in the shell here.
The reason why I asked is because it is an auto and I've never used this type of seed before - if it were any other plant I would've just left it without any hesitation (probably not even noticed, tbh).
I've been dropping water on it every hour to keep it moist.
Simply because the seedling hasn't shifted in a day or so.
Really, ought to pay less attention to them, and let them do their thing :p
Thanks!
@@Teh_Saccade, Thanks, This one was a fun grow. First time scrogging. I agree, The hardest part is watching and just letting them grow when all you want to do is anything to help them get bigger. She has the green seed leaves out so she is collecting energy. Give it another day or so and she will shed her shell.
@KingSalomonsWeed, Ya, still using it, Just gotta keep an eye on the pump filters. When it clogs its like running a DWC instead of a RDWC. I get the water flowing again and it fills the buckets.
Jolie plante l ami ..sa me rapel 1 croisement green crack x jack herer (sensi seed) que j avais pendant presque 3 ans elle fesais les même tête de tous les côté 😀 c été sympa à voir pousser
