First Grow/Auto/DWC

This week I noticed good growth, not too much stretching. I saw the roots break through the cube on all sides including the bottom so I decided to transplant into my dwc system. I gave a low strength nutrient res to minimize shock if too young. I added the cardboard cut out to block light from getting into res. I will most likely leave the res until the roots have established a root zone, if needed I will top up.

This week I monitored pH and humidity mostly. I noticed she sped up growth so I raised the nutrient dose to half veg dose recommended.(2ml/L for A&B) I noticed she had a long tap root through so I lowered water level to 2 inches below netpot.

This week I noticed her roots have fully established and become huge when I changed the res but I forgot to take pictures. I monitored PH, and started training using garden wire. I added z7 part 1 & 2, Cal Mag, and Silica Blast.

This week I monitored PH and growth I'm leaving reservoir for another week since I'm using z7 and orca Depending how she looks next week, I might introduce a small amount of bloom nutes with the grow. Haven't seen a need for topping up but will continue to check. I did notice slight burn on her tips, I'm not sure if that's from more nutes or the light. I accidentally scratched a hole and splashed some nutes on one leaf but other than those spots she's been growing good. I have more branches than I expected and I'm trying my best to train them all.

This week I noticed she started to smell and I'm not complaining. I noticed her pistils after I trained her into the trellis. I noticed tons of new nodes and branches, so I decided to cut a huge fan leaf blocking light to the fresh nodes. I added bloom nutrients and bud candy now that she is in flower.

This week I noticed some good growth. I also noticed the pH was good every time I checked. I added big bud and upped bloom dose to 3/4 and lowered grow to 1/4 dose. I did cut some fan leaves off, and one that was dying. Gonna change reservoir out again next week.

This week I kept reservoir topped up. I also did some major defoliation that was really overdue and she took it well I think. I also raised second trellis to even out the canopy. And added a dehumidifier to keep humidity down.

This week I didn't do much just defoliate and try to keep humidity and temps down I have kept the same nute ratio since the 2nd week of flower next week will probably be all bloom nutes. I haven't had to adjust pH due to the advanced nutrients which I love ! Every time I check it's where it should be!

This week I didn't do much just defoliated and moved branches around. I decided to stop giving grow nutrients. I upped the amount of bud candy to the full recommended amount. Next week I will switch from big bud to overdrive.

This week I watched for deficiencies and noticed she looked like she needed calcium so I gave cal mag and I think it's improving. I also defoliated and upped the amount of big bud to recommend amount. I think this will be my last dose of big bud, I'll be switching to overdrive but not completely sure yet I'll have to watch growth.

So I got busy and a little lazy and decided not to update the last two weeks but I have pictures. I decided to lower strength to quarter strength and I switched to overdrive from big bud the last 2 weeks. This week I cut out all the bloom nutrients and will be flushing using flawless finish. P.S. The smell is amazingly stronger then it's been the whole grow! I can't wait to finish the harvest, dry, and cure! I'll be using grove bags to cure and a moisture meter to judge when to cure.
