29/1/22 D35.5 Week 6: Hydro grows are going ok I guess. Still early days. Not much to do but a little adjustments to lower PH and increase EC which were also taken 3 days ago with a lot better results compared to this run-off test. Well that run-off had a massive increase in nutes or got more care and attention. But, no nute burn, leafs aren't drooping, no signs of deficiencies, so, overall I'm very happy with these results. No need to do any more defoliation, maybe some more light LST. Think I will give 'em both another 18/6 and then switch 'em to 12/12. (NOT TO DO WITH CURRENT, BUT FUTURE GROW) I've already got all my stuff ordered for my next grow. I've got to different setups. Ones DWC and the other is drip fed from a reservoir and run-off pumped into a storage tank to either reuse or discard. Both set up are 11l buckets res is also 11l and holding tank for run-off is 8l I think. All run-off 25watts combined, with dehumidifier which will be 50watts and a 100watt light 10watt fan and 25watt intake fan which is all a very low 210watts. And that's running my light at 100% which I've still yet to do, had set at 80% and even that was too high @spiderfarmer set-ups rock. All fits inside the 70x70 fine, even got room for a dehumidifier/wireless fan. Considering ordering another 70x70 or even a 100x100 tent and swap plants out once they get bigger and I switch to 12/12 and just keep the 100watt running 24/7 and just swap plants or even swap the light over which ever is easier. All about your bottom line when growing your own smoke, as the whole point of doing this is to stop giving drug dealers money and hope you get decent smoke and even when it is, you know it could be soo much better as I'd say there is hardly ever any cure and if so, it wouldn't be for a month. Pics will be added for the rest of the week and another Run-off reading as I'm going to increase the ml/l strength of all nutes. (IF YOU NEED RELIABLE FAIRLY PRICED PH/PPM/EC/TEMP PEN) Oh, if you want a good ph/ec/ppm/temp reader that you can actually trust pm me and I'll give you the details. That one only cost me around 40$/30€/25Β£ I bought a double set with all these features above and my god they were crap. With this one, I test every couple of weeks with 3 different types of the PH buffers, I'd recommend that you buy at least 2 ph buffers as the ones you get with your device is only enough to calibre it. And you defo need to know that your PH pen is giving you the right readings. With this one, you can even do soil. All you do is get distilled water and take a piece of your substrate and mix it with water and leave it for 20mins and you'll get a rough PH/PPM it's so accurate, you DO NOT NEED TO SPEND $250+ on a Hanna device, but, hey, if you have the money get one. I've read they last at least 2 years. The seller says this pen is accurate within .5 but mine's around .1/.2 out at times if out at all. 30/1/22 So, I am not overall too happy with these grows. I think drip or DWC is a must when doing coco. With time being a factor for me, and work. For at least 9hrs there is no liquids unless my neighbour is in, and she'll water my girls. She'll gets some smoke out of it, so she's happy. And the money it's going to save me, minimum a €150 week. But yeah, I'd strongly recommend doing some sort of drip or DWC or even get some light soil mix, that alone will stop the need for 10 waters a day. Which is crazy and you run the risk of exposing your tent to pests when it's open. I'd also advise if your area is a problem for bugs, doing any defoliation or even the Grow itself will be like ringing the dinner bell, so, be prepared. Get bug catchers. Peppermint oil to rub around outside of lids of pots and drop some cotton balls laced with it and do the outside of your tent, the areas that you think bugs will travel over to get into your grow. 2/2/22 The zkittlez is starting to catch up on height with the CBD. It has more potential bud sites. As for the organics they have, I'd say triple if not more bud sites. 3/2/22 Brought my light up near to the desired 30cm for hydros. Only thing now is I'm gonna have to find platforms to raise my lower plants, the TDA is over 50/60cm away. Which is way too far. Zkittlez Hydro has matched CBD for height they are now the exact same size. And I'm thinking zkittlez is only in the middle of this growth. Every 24hrs she gaining 2/3cm. I've decided to increase the air intake up to 70% for 100% of the time. It's clear just in the past 12 hrs of it been on I can see clear extra growth. I've also decided to double the strength of some nutes. Will be doing another Run-off test for PH/PPM=EC 4/4/22 Done a run-off test for PPM/PH surprisingly it was very very low. Results are in diary pics. Zkittlez:850ppm/6.47ph CBD: 550PPM/6.71PH. But I gather that's because of the likes of voodoo and that. Zkittlez seems to be turning the corner. As you can see in D38 she looks a little small then look at the next pic D40 and you'll see all colas took at least a 8cm growth bringing the rest up to a even canopy. She is the biggest plant by height and I'm starting to bring her out in width. Thanks for reading. gottagrowsometime

gottagrowsometimestarted grow question 2 years ago
Okay this might be a stupid question, bare with me, I'm new to this. So, it says ph on the sides of some bottles some are 3.5 but go all the way up to 7.8. How will this effect my set ph 6.3 ph setup I'll be using before I put the nutes in. Will I have to add ph down. Read down..

I check ec level before I add any nutes to get a base line then check again after adding. I wait usually 15-20min and check pH with the tester and ph down accordingly I'm running hydro and I bring mine to 5.8 and let rise and lower as needed to allow all nutes to be taken in. Hope this helps!

Nutes question. So, my order finally came, and I have 14 AN. But my question is, though the 2 weeks of growth are over can I slip in a weeks feed of Pirana&Tarantula or will I just wait for the first 2 weeks in flower as directed by feeding chart? Will it hurt the process?

Hello Piranha & Tarantula are just friendly fungus and microbes that attach to the roots and help gather sugar for the plant. You can't hurt anything if you use it at small doses with every watering. Chuck.

Does anyone have any questions to as why CBD HYDRO has looked like it's reached its full maturity, I know it's not going to get any bigger prob just bigger buds right? That can't all I'm gonna get is it? My others hydro looks ok, this has a full smell profile. 2nd pic okay!

Some plants mature faster then others, it the luck of the draw with autos. Sometimes they veg for 3 weeks other times 7. Your cbd is faster along its track then the zkittles plant. It is not yet done though, Once buds form they will start to smell and get sticky. If you growing the same seeds and strains you will notice some strain are more smelly then others or just have different smells. That's its Phenotype expression. It looks like it will continue to thicken up and maybe grow a bit more taller but nothing crazy in term of height. Keep at it, they are looking good. Best Of Luck!

It happens sometimes...you get an auto that behaves a little more like a photo. That Zkittlez will be beastly if you stay on track and feed her well. She's gonna take a while...but yes, she might even be a half-pounder...
gottagrowsometime
gottagrowsometime
@Silverback_Guerilla, yeah I'm hoping she'll be a beast and not a popcorn bonanza. Yeah she's weeks off from being done. There is sooo many bud sites all in dif stages. I was gonna strip all the underdeveloped growth but there is so much of it that I'll probably be better off doing 2 harvests. Top half and then give the rest however long it'll take. But more than likely she has another 4-5 wks left. Just a guess, but yeah we will see. Thanks for dropping by.

Awesome job bro.... I was reading your comment on your grow and seen that you thought you had pH lock in your runoff was high at like 28 or so and I just wanted to let you know if you use dry amendments in your soil your plants will only take in what they need from the soil. Whereas using liquid nutrients in your water they intake that water so the intake all those nutrients at once. if you amend your soil they take them in as needed... This is my first cannabis grow but my brother has managed three greenhouses in the past and now he has a huge grow of his own for medicinal in missouri.

@gottagrowsometime, LOL yeah I understand, don't want to waste the pots u bought... You could go and grab you some 3gal hortipots on Amazon they r great grow bags 10 pack for like 15 I think it was. Good luck man I hope it grows into a beautiful little lady

@FullTankGardens, doesn't matter if it's your first grow, if you know what to do you know what to do. And what you said makes sense. And I prob would go that route if I hadn't of bought 2 19l DWC pots lol. But will keep in future if I decide to do any more organic grows. As they are really very little maintenance. Thanks for dropping by buddy.

@DutchGrownGreens, oh man. I just took a tester. The pic is a few pics back and it had no hints of purple and looked nothing like them, and you can sew all the clear trichs. Had .45 cone back from 2.1 and fuck me it's so strong and is hardly done. And we still have 2 wks of flowering and hopefully she'll pack on nice l9ng trichs/resin. You can see sugar/trich balls when you look up close. It's top quality bud. Delighted, and very st9ned atm lol. Just smoked the. 45 tester a joint/b9ng and I'm waxed. Bit harsh and she had lots of clear trichs and was far from being done. Thanks for dropping by buddy!!!

Yep my other diary had the same problem they stayed short all the way through I had 4 down and they were all between 40/60cm i think I might not have stored them properly Iv had the seeds about 6 months in a bag in the shed I did have 2 down to begin with but one died it was even smaller than that one πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈIv put another 2 down to make up for the loss they have sprouted and got their first leaves and seem to be doing ok Iv not started a diary yet I’m going to see how they grow first. Thanks for the advice on re vegging I suppose I’ll have to see how much it stretches over the next few weeks good luck with the rest of your grow and hopefully it’s more than just a few Gs at the end πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ˜­

@Dean1, that's the thing about seeds they do ok for short time max 2-3 weeks out of reg temp which should be between 8-10 degrees. Does ur area reach that low in temp. But even if it does at night I'm sure it's not 24/7. Idk, some seeds strains can be weird. I gave my friend 2 Zkittlez that were left over, kept em in my bedroom and lowest temp there is 21c and he planted 2 weeks ago after 6 wks of been in my room and they only 1 germinate. And that is lookin like shes gonna be a runt but early days. Best 2 just buy new seeds they cost very little. Best of luck anyways pal.

With your temps on the cooler side you will for sure have some super dense caked nugs. You could gently and slowly walk those temps up to meet at were you should be for flower at this stage which would be 77 lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. Your bud development stage has not ended yet so we can squeeze a bit more size out of them if we catch it soon enough now.
