CBD Candida CD-1

Just getting ready to place into tent 2 weeks old now. I start my plants in Solo cups and grow 10 days to 2 weeks. Then I up pot to one gallon pots for 2 weeks,then put in 5 gallon final fabric pots. The first time I did this with just 2 plants the other 2 in DWC,and what a difference no cleaning res no cleaning pumps & lines every 2 weeks,I just clean out res and fill with tap water. When I fill 24 gallon res I let it circulate 4 hrs.with a pump inside the res to extract Chlorine and such. Then add nutes PH to 5.6 and let circulate another 2 hours and PH again 5.8 on the button. Close up res and good for 4-5 days.

Just vegging forming roots go another 2-3 weeks, this is an auto feed system 1 min 45 seconds at lights on and 8 hrs later 1 min 50 seconds. It’s pretty slick as just add notes and PH system.This is A high frequency fertigation system and works awesome,with Drain To Waste. I pour all nutrients in my garden that are the run off of the fertigation system.

This is A DTW system watering now 2 times daily. Defoliation took place and a flush to make sure there’s no build up of salts. Heisenberg tea made up bi-weekly as beneficial microbes are a great addition to reservoir and grow medium. Added tea to medium 1 cup to each plant. I have A total of 5 fans inside tent one is A AC Infinity 6” with carbon filter exiting tent,I have 2 AC Infinity 4” Fresh air into tent & 2 Ocilatting 8” inside on timers to keep air flowing.

Gonna flip here this week,I’m trying to keep stretching to a minimum so I will flip lights over 10-12 days slowly decreasing on/off time. Looking fabulous! My res is a 24 gallon circulating for best dissolved oxygen in system. Clean and change every 5-6 days. I’m adding Heisenberg Tea weekly to res & mediums for best beneficial microbes. I make Tea every 12-14 days, very simple. The dimmer switch on the SF 4000 really does make a difference.

Slowly switching time 3/4 hr per day for first 3 days,then 1/2 hr a day until 12/12 will be end of this week (The Start of week 5)The Candida plants are in the back more pics to come. The tea I have added above are my own recipe Heisenberg Tea. The plant left front is Gorilla Glue,front right is Blueberry Kush and the two at the back are Candida CD1 CBD. More pics of Candida to follow.

Have continued the flowering stage no a severe stretch as I took 10 days to flip to 12/12 but there is stretch as I can see about half. Dropped Bud Igniter and started Carbo Load. Had to up watering 10 seconds to get the 15-20% runoff as plants are eating like Cows and getting very BUSHY. Day 21 In flower I will defoliate to keep the tops bulking up. Also added IPM to bottoms of plants as it’s what I do for prevention every two to three weeks.

Defoliation took place on all four plants,cleaned and vacuumed tent to take away any potential pests. Cleaned out Rez and again using tap water circulate 3-4 hours before adding nutes. Buds are forming great and you can see the daily changes as in now watering 3 times daily. This is high frequency fertigation and A drain to waste system, the difference being it’s both DTW & Flood and Drain lol. As I Filter runoff and pump back into the Rez. It’s all automated which is very nice all I have to do is clean Rez once A week to 10 days,fill and add nutes and PH. The defoliation comes at day 21 & 42 of flower and a week prior to flipping to flower. Very easy once set up. Also cleaned & Vacuumed tent always good to keep clean.

I’ve now upped my watering schedule to 2 minutes 20 seconds to get the 20-25% runoff needed to prevent salts from building up in mediums. The stalks on these ladies are bulking up fast and the flowers are forming nicely. Things are going very smoothly with no issues whatsoever and plants eat 25 gallons per week with this DTW/F&D system that’s totally automated other than filling Rez & adding nutrients. I’ve also started introducing Overdrive as this takes 2 weeks to really take effect then the buds will be in perfect shape for week 6 in Flower and really bulking up. The dimmer on this SF7000 Spider Farmer really makes A difference as I’m now up to 90% from 75%. Next week will be full blast!

Will be doing A defoliation process again on day 42 of flower, this just thins out canopy and makes light more penetrating. Same feedings going on and ALWAYS CLEAN TENT AND vacuum weekly.

Defoliated this past week but very hard to tell, I will keep up on feeding 3 times per day up until week 7 and start to flush. Very minimal problems as IPM is done on A weekly basis and cleaning takes place right after. It’s amazing how fast these LADIES GROW! Drinking 28-30 gallons per week with nutrients.
