This week has been ok, yet again. I'm not sure why these two haven't looked the happiest. They actually look over watered like in a soil grow. Thick, wrinkled leaves that sag. Growth has continued and the root development is going really well.
Update 2/25/22 pm these have finally perked up!!!
Plant #1 on the left has had a brown build up on one root strand more than a few times. I have sprayed it off with distilled water 3x now. It finally seemed to stop coming back. At first I thought it was water temp but after I dropped the temp it continued to return. I will be refreshing the pots in a few days and will see if this brings life to them. Humidity has been extremely low so maybe that's part of the issue but when they had humidity they never acted up much better so I can't say that seems to be the issue. Having my filter on is keeping temps low enough for the water to stay 68 -70 but humidity is 30-45 lately. I had to turn the filter on for the water temps to drop so that's more important than the humidity. I'm going to spray them at night from now on to help loss of moisture until flip.
I did top #2 multiple times and #1 was main lined heavily. Hoping to make a few extra tops and some nice clones but I may not clone either. Maybe these would enjoy soil more. Maybe these need hotter or more humid conditions. I could clone later and try them in the summer months when I can accomplish key conditions for veg.
Stay tuned I'll try to get these girls up and running better.
@PremiumBudsEU,u got it. 👍 This is only my 2nd Dwc run. First went better than any soil run I ever had. I ran straight water only for about 9 days before cut. I'll add a light cal mag dose for the finish. I think I have seen it suggested before. Thanks for the input 🙏👊
@exclusiveX420,
Well brother, you doing really good. Try just to lower the EC to 1-1.4 in week 8 and lower the EC to 0,4 with just some calmag last week before flush
You will get big buds ,
DWC Magic
@PremiumBudsEU,thank you brother. Appreciate it and need the support 👍 any tips for these last 3 or so weeks? Haha things have been in the right direction. It's one of my favorite newer strains also and as we speak I'm indulging on some. Not of my own but the strain and I hope mine is this fantastic. 🤘🤙
Those plants have wonderful structure, good job on the veg! I'm about half way through a DWC grow myself, excited to see how your plants finishes. Happy flowering!
@exclusiveX420, Thanks! My second DWC grow as well! My second grow ever actually. I had good results too. And I totally agree, hydro is the way! The plants are just so healthy and fast growing, it's crazy.
@NorwegianNugs, appreciate it. This is only my 2nd DWC run but the first went so well there was no comparison to plant health,speed of growth and overall yeild. It was exceptional final product too. The bud mass on a hydro plant is much greater than my soil grows but that could be my performance. The soil grows have potential for improvement in mid/late flower. The hydro health is so high that even low lit area beneath the canopy made rock solid coated buds. Good luck on your run. I think you will enjoy how it goes.
@CroNiCGman,hey man I appreciate that alot. Always got something good to say. Thank you. I hope they have something amazing in store. I really can't believe how fat they got. Frosty and ready to add some UV light by the end of the weekend maybe. They smell so much and have really been healthy this past week. The water uptake is gigantic! What an improvement since adding hydrogen peroxide to the mix.
@CroNiCGman,it sure does. Holding out to finish up the lower half of the plant more. I will be giving them a hair cut to open things up hopefully this evening or tomorrow evening. I'll have to inspect trichomes soon. I have not yet. I usually don't until the last 2 weeks which is about now. Plan was to go a full 70 days in flower but if it's done B4 then it will come down. I think today is only day 52 or 53.
