Red Hot Cookies - RDWC

brpet Plants are doing alright, even under my crappy lights. Due to the summer heat, my water is warming up too. This might cause issues. I snapped one stem trying to look at the roots in the net pot and bumping it into an overhead lamp. Tried to fix it with some tape but I don't have much hope. Put another seed in a rockwool cube to germinate in case this plant dies. It'll be two weeks younger than the others so I'll probably have to do some creative work with feeding schedules and training. The Plagron Power Roots and Pure Zym are causing some foam in the water. Together with the temperature, I'm worried about root rot. Will stop using the organic Plagron nutrients and just stick to mineral for now.

brpet Plants are growing but unhealthy. Root rot?

brpet Root rot :-( Cut all the roots off. That'll stunt them for a while but it is what it is. Also cleaned out the tank by rinsing it with a strong hypochlorite solution during a reservoir swap. Added a water chiller to the setup as well. Praying that this will do it. Will add Hydroguard beneficial bacteria from now on as well to combat the rot. New roots are showing after a couple of days, looking healthy.

brpet New roots are showing and are healthy. Cut off the sickly leaves and added some protective covers to the net pots to keep light from touching the nutrient solution, taped off all hoses and stuff as well.

brpet Flipped to 12/12 since everything seems stable. Started scrogging. Also ordered a proper light - Lumatek Zeus 600W 2.9 mmol/J :-)

brpet Got my new grow light, pretty cool. Flowers are starting to show. Roots are super healthy with the chiller and Hydroguard. Switched from Plagron to DutchPro nutes.

brpet Plants are exploding. Seeing the power of RDWC now :-) Also found some mutants - leaves are growing in the the middle of the fingers.

brpet Humidity is too high, added a small dehumidifier. Plants are doing well but one has some male flowers. Probably due to the root rot stress and quick flip to 12/12 after. Will try to keep this under control by removing pollen sacs.

brpet Apart from the hermaphrodite, things are going well. Trying to keep an eye on the male flowers but I'm afraid I might miss some. Flowers are now also starting to develop in the middle of the leaves :-)

brpet Seeing some of the 'red' in 'red hot cookies' starting to show!

brpet Changing reservoirs whenever pH becomes unstable. Usually after around a week and a half. Seeing some nice buds developing. Found a ball that exploded when I touched it. Going to cut this plant down probably to keep it from pollinating others completely.

brpet Cut down the hermie. Found a LOT of seeds while trimming. I'll let it dry, take out the seeds and have it processed into rosin.

brpet Plants are turning very photogenic.

brpet Trichomes are turning amber slowly. Had some pH issues which the leaves did not enjoy. Also cut back on the EC - down to 1.3 now. Harvest next week!

brpet 2 kilos of very photogenic wet weed. Drying now!
