This is start of week 6 of my plant...
It got moved to the basement and I now actually have a filter that kills the smell.
I am growing her in a shallow tub which holds slightly over 1 Gallons of water with an air stone in it with 2600cc air / Min (Slightly over half a gallon)
Fur nutrients I am using a HESI Starter set of Amazon + a bit h2o2 to keep the res. sterile.
The plant took a LOT of abuse (See last weeks, chemical spill and bad water at the start) but its still coming strong.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
Ok, after some feedback I did redo my nutrient solution.
I cleaned out my res. and replaced it with the above mix. I set to PH to 5.9-6 and the final mix now has 600 PPM Nutes (+190 water).
This time I used 50/50 destilled/tap water
Currently the mix is ready and I am flushing her with normal water.
Changed her water yesterday, and today the PH raised to 6.5. So I gave her about 3 ml of diluted PH-Down to bring her back to 5.7.
PH was on the raise again... 6.6 this morning. I knocked it down to 4.5 (Ooops) and then back to 5.6
Mixed up some CalMag (Blue bowl... https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/diy-calmag.57199/#post-1310772) thanks @HolyTHC
I replaced the valve on my Air supply against a better one... WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Airflow to the water is so much better now. If you are using a valve there, try blowing it. If you cant without any issues... Replace it NOW :D
0509: Decided to pluck 2 leaves from the plant in order to get light to all bud sites. Hops she is not getting mad about it ;)
1 more day in this week ... I like her looks so far
Last day of the week... Gave her some extra water again. And here is the compare shot between day 2 of this week and the last day. Also added a root shot of the plant
Its a mars-Hydro-300 and its about 40 cm away
This is one of their older lights (~130 true W) with 60 X 5 W LED...
and I have a few W side lightning (~25 total)
I upgraded my bucket with a 14W LED beamer I found in the basement ;)Its perfect for Veg since it has a 6500K and when checked with my Power meter it actually consumed 14 W of light. So now my seedling(s) (I am a bad dad... I only grant the healthy girl direct access to the light... Lets see if she can take it or if I have to move her away a bit...) get an extra dose of light from the side in order to better Veg.
I love it how you just jumped in there and kept going. Small typo: In week 8 you have written the length in inches instead of cm, or your plant shrunk 20 cm's :D.
not enough oxygen in the water and water temp is probably too high you need calmag to also bring ph down 5.8 i like a little drift so i start res at 5.6 and let it go 6.0 the knock it back to 5.8
@thrashordie, the small harvest applied to the 3 popcorn buds only...
But the total harvest could have been a bit bigger, since I could have waited a week...(which I could not due travel). She had some nice roots going in the end ;)
Looks like it turned out pretty great 😀. Patience is always tough but I guess that's part of the learning process. Good luck on your next grow! I just started my second quick one as well.
Hello my old friend!
I have only one note to you.
After the second week of vegetation,
Hydro-Grow should be used. ?
Please do not be angry.
It must be a technical error.
Be alive and healthy!
