Day 50 - she is a monster!
a. this plant is very large, and is producing many bud sites
b. she is drinking 4L of water a day, the most ive ever had a plant drink
c. the stem on her is the largest ive grown, already larger than Bruce Banner trunk
d. DWC is at 6.1-6.3 PH. Very good conditions, the flowers are exploding
Day 51 - HUGE
a. I cannot believe how large this plant actually is
b. flowering all over the place, many locations
c. i start to notice a little leaf tip burn, time to change out DWC totally, and put 1/2 strength full flower blend
d. water from DWC was blood red/brown, the root system is very healthy
e. I tied back all the large branches, making room for everything
Day 52 - she enjoyed the LST
a. Her flowers are growing so fast
b. She is drinking 4-5L a day of nutrients, at full flower blend during feeding @ 6.2 PH
c. I like to gradually increase the nutrients after a mineral water flush mid way through the grow.
Day 53 - drank 5L - 700ppm
a. she is eating very well, and growing all over
b. the buds are becoming fatter and fatter
c. she has been increased up to full flower blend, looking great!
Day 53 - drank 5L again
a. she is growing so fast, and huge
b. the buds are becoming very long and getting thick
Day 55 - buds are growing
a. her buds are so hard, becoming larger every day
b. she is drinking 5L a day
Day 56 - buds everywhere
a. this plant is growing towers for buds
b. have to use constant LST tying back everything
Hi bro, I would like to tell you that I am learning a lot by looking at your journals. In a few months I will start my first crop ever and I decided to do it in dwc. Let's hope so.
Thanks
@DeepWaterGrower, Yo man that is awesome! Please DM me with any questions. Tip.. make sure to use the basic cheap chemical PH testing kits. The electronic PH pens are never accurate for DWC, and they are expensive. Your first plants will be monsters. Which line of nutrients are you thinking of running?
Looking beautiful, great structure , now you are starting to feel what I feel with ridiculous amounts of nutrients, you are doing very well to contain the concentration of the solution , I’m glad you using ph6.1-6.3 as this is much easier to keep level , than sub 6, I think you could pull 10 oz if you keep it up 👍🏽 nice grow 🤞
@BigDaddyK, Thanks a million! im hoping to get around 300 grams here. I find that 5.7 in veg and 6.2 in flower seems to be great for most Indica leaning autos in the dwc bucket. this plant is flowering very fast and drinking so many nutrients. When I do a 4-5 day mineral water flush, then gradually re-introduce the bloom blend, the autos really ramp up their production in the last 2 weeks with amazing sweet flavor.
@JamMAKEcan, oh same here, I have been comparing it to my Pineapple Express grow from Fastbuds which was killer.. it looks like Big Bud may beat it in total harvest. However I am using 2x the light now (:
Nice work👌..
Thinking about trying that DWC in the future, I've seen some impressive results💪..
Just wondering about your banana c02 gen.? I make mine with 1 cup sugar, .5 tsp bakig soda,
1.5 tsp yeast and 6 cups of water lasts about a week, and I add some sugar and yeast as needed after that
to keep the bubbles coming out every 3-5 seconds. I use 2 containers one with the c02 mixture and a smaller one with just water,
because sugar and yeast make alcohol and I don't want that in the tent, so the c02 bubbles out of the smaller container through some water used as a filter.
Works well and is very cheap to make, I'll post a pic in my Cinderlla 99 diary, Later!!!
DWC is absolute easiest way to grow monster yields. None of that water schedule, or guessing nutrient bullshit. I follow all measurements on the GHE bottles with minor deviations. I use the Bannana beer that is made to run through my distiller to make moonshine hooch alcohol. It hits hard. after 14 days in the box is ready to make liquor. The water bubbler is a good idea, but I have never seen any thing bad from just letting the CO2 it vent into a tube under my fans. CO2 is heavier than air so I make sure it blows over the top of the canopy. I only use it during veg period, as all my plants outgrow my tents every time. I use a kilogram of dissolved white sugar made into simple syrup, then I add 2 whole very ripe bananas, puree them by shaking with sugar making syrup. take 40 or 50 grams of instant bread yeast and dissolve it all in about 1/5 litre of warm water. I combine the 2 liquids in a 10 litre water jug and fill with water to the 5L mark, after a week I taste it, adjust my ingredients with another 4L of solution. All of my plants seem to veg huge when I do this. I run my box temps always above 25 degrees when I use CO2, and seal the box up as well. Replace entire system after 14 days. Costs me 2 Franc. Enjoy the alcohol you just made while making your plants absolute monsters. 😎
@Blabina, it seems to work well making a flat canopy. I started doing full HST to where I actually supercrop the stems, it works very well, but Ive noticed that when you do a lighter HST by not kinking the stem on an auto the secondary limbs really become much stronger. I will only HST this plant this single time. 😍
@northernMike, sure is! I am so impressed by this strain, I thought Pineapple Express was a fast strain, but this one at day 15 is almost 2x the size! Happy New Year!
