Topped the reservoir up with 1L well water. Still no root showing, but I have been messing with it a lot the past few days (tearing the rockwool and peeking) and the root wad just growing side to side searching for the nutrient water, because I failed to realize my reservoir was too low to make the bottom of the rockwool cube moist. It seems like this made the plant a little confused, not knowing which way the nutrients are, and just searching around for it.
It does look like it picked up a bit and the leaves are coming in nicely. Hoping for a big growth spurt this week and finally roots popping down. Still using the same nutrient mix from the very start, and still not planning on changing the whole reservoir until I see roots.

Starting to take off, looks like they're enjoying the nutes now that they can reach them bahaha!

Still growing, and getting bigger every day!
***Feb 12
Roots are finally showing in the bottom of the basket! This is great news because now we will see a big surge of growth. A little longer and I will refresh my reservoir and have a few more things added (like silica, and wetting agent, etc (I will have it all listed when I do it)).
You can already tell how happy it is by how fast it's growing, the difference between today and yesterday is stunning, and I can't wait to see more!

Changed the reservoir, here are the nutrients I added this time around:
1tsp Root Farm part 1 Base
1tsp Root Farm part 2 Veggie
1tsp Technaflora MagiCal
1/4 tsp Plant-Prod MJ Boost
1/4 tsp RAW Silica Powder
1/8 tsp Fulvic Acid
1/8 tsp Humic Acid
1/8 tsp Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed
Well water is 450ppm for a total of 1500ppm in the reservoir, PH is 5.8, also adjusted the light back to 250 ppfd (23-24VPD). Temp is resting at a steady 22-24 degrees Celsius, and humidity around 47% with the tent closed.

Happy Valentine's day, all! 💚
Growth is great! Going into week 2 of veg, if you take off my seedling week in "week 1". Glad to see nore roots starting to peek their way out of the bottom.
Looking forward to another great week, see you all there!
Beautiful plant! I came to check it out and saw you said you're nutrients arent staying stable. If you dont mind some advice, organics are really hard to successfully run in hydro. It's almost impossible to run a reservoir stable with organics in it. I use a 1 part grow and 1 part bloom chemical salts in my reservoir. It holds ph great for weeks and makes hydro enjoyable to grow in as it should be. Also 5 ph is too low. 6.0 or close to there gives you a good range to absorb all the nutrients. Best of luck with the rest of your grow
@WishiFishi, calcium absorbs better at higher ph. Ghe has a great chart that shows the best range that all nutrients absorb at. I guess this site wont let you paste links anymore though. I will definitely follow along on your grow. Love the way those freakshow leaves grow out.
@Wicked_Stix, I was actually having some calcium up take issues at the 6.3 I was sitting at, so I lowered it down a bit. I'll keep my eye out on it, I'm still learning and experimenting!
@WishiFishi, it's actually 5.5 to 6.5. At 5 you wont ever get enough cal and mag absorption. Even at 5.5 the plants will struggle to absorb. I thought you were using organics because you had fish shit listed on your nutes.
@Wyregrasser, Thank you so much 💖 I will make a detailed review of the strain once she's finished and I've done a little smoke test! 😄 I appreciate all the support
@WishiFishi, I'm just going to run them in solo cups and see what happens... basically testing a new fertilizer, grow dots from real growers... I added it a little heavier than recommended so maybe I can burn them a little. Thinking of flipping to 12/12 after 3 weeks to see what what they show, then re-vegging. Either way, your diary is going to help me in the long run so thank you.
@GroloCup, Good luck on your grow! When I did mine in soil, they seemed like they were always hungry, so keep that in mind! They are also relatively hard to sex, and barely need defoliation. That's about all I learned about the strain in my experience, hope it helps! I'm also going to follow along your grow :)
@WishiFishi, I've been hacking away the last day or so, looking to max out the sites before flipping... 4-7-22 is the day... hoping for ladies, or I'm going to have some pregnant Super Skunk lady with Freakshow crosses... Thats crazy that yours is so bushy, mine were going straght up with little side branching... I didn't do any training though so I should have figured...plants doing plant things... Mine looked a little bushy but it was all the crazy kale looking fan leaves...
@GroloCup,I decided against doing very much to this one, I didn't do any topping, and the only defoliation I've been doing is the top two fan leaves as they were getting too big and covering the tops. The canopy is doing it all on its own!
I still want to go in and lollipop a bit, but other than that, it's been pretty hands off. The thing I like about this strain, is it's very open to the light and airy, so it doesn't really need a lot of maintenence it seems.
