Starting this 1 in a GOW then straight into the Rockwool after 24hrs or the end of the husk cracks. Will be using the Dual part Try Pack with Ripen for the last 2 wks. Also I'll be adding Terra Power aid/bud/resin enhancers.
Have put my 2 buckets in and will check the temp in 24hrs and if it's below or at 20c/68F then I'll use enzymes and root stims in either this or the Larry lemon og DWC grow.
78ppm 19c water. 24 hrs in the dark cab and then into the Rockwool.
Welcome to my 1st DWC diary. Drop a like if you'd like me to visit your diary. Either way thanks for dropping by. 🍻
Super lemon Haze, was actually meant to be Super Lemon Haze Auto. The seed bank sent me these instead by mistake. Was asked to send them them back but decided to go ahead and keep these. I'm going to run these on a full Terra Power line up. I'm a bit concerned about root rot and bad bactria and all but I have nutrients to counteract this and break down dying roots. I feel obligated to run a full DWC enzyme grow as I have all these great nutes and 2 Sep buckets. So I'm gonna run this as a enzyme living grow and the other is a toss up for enzymes.
This plant is 80-100cm so I think mainlining this 1 will be the way to go, or not, I'll be mainlining the soil/coco SLH so maybe I'll leave this 1 to be a massive bush not lollipop needing to be done I reckon. Looking forward to getting this going. Gonna read through all my nutrients and pick the best enzymes and make sure I do it right. Will be starting her on a light diet as soon as she shows some leafs. Very small amount like 3-500ppm.
1/5/22 VD1 she has popped and was started on a light mix. I just added some distilled water to my mix for my soil terra power grows and added 1/3 extra water. No need to PH it. By adding mystical green it stabilizes PH and when water gets taken up it should still hold your set PH from start to beginning. This is something every1 needs to get that uses DWC or get something similar that helps keep PH in set level in 15L or a wk later in 5L. The PH should still be the same. In other nutrients this isn't the case. When the water is taken with the nutrients the stabilizer is left behind to keep the PH stable but this all depends on you keeping your water level and nutrient level up as it goes down while your plants eat. That's why ppl get massive PH/EC swings when your
The 3 Nutrients above were just for seedlings. They were left in the rockwool as they would have been left in the soil. They aren't been used since she showed face today.
2/5/22 5x bigger than yday. Looking small on top, she's growing a little to fast by the looks of it. (Not enough energy on the surface to support root growth) she only came out of the shell yday was about .3cm out of the rockwool. Bout 1.5cm now.
4/5/22 Decided to put her on the root stim La Calavera. Aka Voodoo juice. I found a chart saying I should be giving it.
6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should cave in lightly
Same Day: Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much, I'll have to add frozen water bottle or set up a copper chiller pump to run into my DWC tanks, as it's only for 3 wks I think I'll stick to the frozen water bottles, if I can't maintain 78f 20c in my buckets I'll build my own chiller that'll run copper pipping into cold water and then into my tanks and recirculate it.
Thanks for reading, this is the last update for this week other than pics/video..

Welcome to my purple og punch contest diary. Thanks for visiting, be sure to drop a like so I know u visited and I can do so on your grows.
9_5_22 So, the penny dropped last night when I had to look closely and think y, are my DWC grows behind my soil grows. Then I looked down into the bowl the net pots are sitting in. They were empty, (Well not high enough that the plant could drink at it's own pace), it was only getting fed the 1 time a day when I'd soak the rockwool which is enough, right up until it's not, (the roots break through the other side of the rockwool), and you are meant to have the water in your DWC tanks for the 1st wk or 2 up past the base of the net pot. (I knew this, I just completely forgot to do it) as it wasn't an issue for the 1st few days, then growth slowed down. Why, well because the plant was only getting a light feed once a day on the roots that broke through the rockwool and had nothing to drink but dust from clay pebbles. I quickly realised where I was tripping up and added water to the bowls so I'm hoping to see massive growth this week.
Here's what I plan to do for preflowering. I've also turned the light from 65% - 87.5%. Holding that lil bit of an extra kick for preflowering given with as much co2 time I can give them in their new homebox ambient 150+ 150x150x220 will allow me to go big and will widen in most areas what I can do with these girls. I'll be keeping a 50x50 space free in my tent for the 20l dehuimifier that will be running in the tent with my 800m3 6 inch EC/TEMP C9NTROLLED PRIMA KILMA intake fan will be turned on, by request OF the new automated dehuimdifying/temp controlled area which will allow me to grow in high co2 environment for at least 25 mins out of every 30. It'll all depend how quick my 3 co2 bags can bring up the ppm. And I'll only be doing this for preflower only then I'll go back to a negative pressure environment....(I'll be given detailed info on how to do all this correctly as it happens in the coming weeks, and after I've finished my research on these methods. I've already bought all the gear. Tent/lights/co2 bags/AC temp controlled 800m3 intake/ co2 ppm reader. And a few other bits you will need to create a sealed co2 environment. It's just for 2-3 weeks of preflower and then I'll focus on bringing temps up high during light on 28-30c max and as low as 20-18c max with lights off for terpness. And to bring the best out in all my Purple strains.
10/5/22 Roots broke down into the water. Should have put the water in last week.
11_5_22 After a 2 day soft flush, I've upped the nutrient terra Power and all nutrient mixes up and plants are starting to show light defs. Nothing that's going to throw them into a stall or anything, and I don't want to overfeed neither. PPM I'm been careful with. 980 5.9 PH. 1020 ADVN 6.3ph 950 5.7ph jungle juice and terra power. I've also upped the EC by 100% for both DWC.
Same Day: Took PH and both DWC was 7&7.2. Decided to empty both and fix them and bring their EC&PH back under control. 5.5&5.8 and 550&580 ppm. Yes, I know the numbers are the same, just the way it worked out..
13/5/22 Grrr, poxy annoying. Too much work doing DWC. Well the way I started them was. I set them up to fail. In a bowl where the PH was changing from 5.5 to 7+ in 12hrs. Because it was only in a couple 100mls. I put them in their buckets and lowered the EC and fixed the PH. 470ppm 5.7ph
16/5/22 Having many issues with DWC. Not forgiving at all. I really started them out wrong. And with constant PH/EC swings they had in their tiny bowls. Well, I'm surprised they made it to the bucket. I was thinking of scraping these are starting over again. But I'm going to run them as they are. See what I can do. Having real issues with temp for the water. 23c. Adding frozen glass bottles of water seems to help but it's becoming a pain having to add new 1s every 4-6hrs to keep the temp between 19.5-21c. So, I've done away with 1 of the mixes and switched it to jungle juice trio with no enzymes. Will add h202 as soon as it arrives.
16/5/22 At to picking back up slightly. Hopefully shes on the road to recovery.

Welcome to my 1st DWC grow, be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows.
Wk 3 VD15 Growing, a little slow but it's growing. Its very clear this is my 1st DWC grow.
Having real issues with temp for water even though the air pump is in a colder room at 21c. 21-24c too high. And it's showing in the roots.
18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years.
But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25-26.5C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game
Checked PH was 6.5, adjusted to 5.8 with PH - crystals. Seems to keep a more stable PH for longer and doesn't mess with the PPM. IDK if it's good or not but the PPM has stayed the same the past week, May be dropped by 10ppm. Just the PH keeps going up. So, my meaning is it's drinking and the PPM is set just at the right level. As I've not filled it up since I put water into it. And as it's drinking the nutrient mix it's taken everything up and just leaving the PH adjuster from the nutrient additives. If the PPM drops I will not that I need to add a little extra nutrient mix.
Decided to add Fire Yields, It was meant to be given the 1st 2 weeks, but I was given a chart that says on week 3-4 so I didn't know, so it got started now. Plant seems to be doing ok. Bit droopy, but has steady growth. Having real issues with temp in my tent. It's 26.5 with lights on and 22 with off. If I wasn't doing photos I'd be doing a 5-1 light time on/off. As the water is a nightmare to keep under or even close to 20. I just can't get there. 4 times a day I'm having to add full bowls of PH'ed water. It's a poxy pain and I can only get it to stay at 22. Only thing, these enzymes aren't meant to go bad until they reach 25 and there's always a degree or 2 you can push them. But I also know there's other bactria that will end up coming. I'm only going to run enzymes until I get a decent root structure and I'm getting there with this 1. The mystical green has made a kind of black stain that easily wipes away from the roots. I'm not going to bother washing them, as this is stuff to keep a stable environment and does a lot more. So it's going to be given threw the whole grow. Having to adjust the PH every 48 hours back down to 5.8 and I adjust it when it reaches 6.3-4. At the moment I'm just adding PH - crystals. It holds a steady PH longer than liquid. 48hrs but I haven't pushed it past that. As she gets bigger and drink a more I'd say the amount of PH adjusters from all the different nutrients that will be added and the more it drinks it'll leave more. EC/PPM hasn't dropped at all so it's still perfecto. But I'm thinking that's going to also drop soon. The roots are deep. Hoping for big changes this week. I won't be changing the water for at least 2 more weeks now. I'll add to it but I only added fire yields and I'm not wasting 40ml of it so it's staying for 2 weeks. I will give the roots a light wash though as I don't want their little side vain roots getting clogged up.
22_5_22 Decided to FlMing, done the 6th node coming up. If I done.
23/5/22 Done defoliation. Some light sulfur or calmag def. Have added calmag and sulfur.
That's it for this week, other than pics of the rest of the week and I'll take root shots also.
Thanks for reading.

Welcome to my 1st DWC. Be sure to drop a like so I can visit your grows
Week 4 VD22 24/5 Noticed early signs of Sulfur def. I've added some sulfur to it. Not too much. If it gets worse I'll empty the entire tank and make up a new mix with much more of a sulfur mix to it. It's the only strain that has shown sulfur def in the whole line up using terra power. I'm keeping a close on the others to see if they have a sulfur issue but it seems to be only in the photo super lemon haze strain. On my other photo she is on jungle juice trio and she has a 1% Sulfur mix in the bloom part of the trio.
25/5/22 very tight internodes. Going to have to put in a stretch. Going to drop the temp to 18c for 2 weeks during the rest window and bring it right up to 28-30c with lights on a week before and keep that temp for a week and hopefully the high temp constant for that week and then a sudden drop in temps should give me the stretch I need.
Added Epsom Salt to give them some MG/S. Was 345 ppm baseline was 105 so 240 2 teaspoons to 3L was then added to the 15L water.
28/5/22 Topped today. Didn't like the look how the FlMing was done. Left too much on, idk. So, topped it. It hasn't has 5 nodes. If I'd of left that it would of had 4 more sets,
Really unhappy with how these are growing. Idk if the temp is too hot in a tent in a tent but everything in there seems to be staying small with short nodes.
31/5/22 I've raised the light to 45cm to hopefully give them a lil bit of a stretch let's c what happens. I'm given 1 more wk of veg so I hope by putting the light up to 45cm it'll give it a decent stretch.
3/6/22 wk 5
Hmm again. Not the big plant I was expecting. Idk if I screwed them up by having the light to close for the 1st 4 weeks, I know I wanted shorter bushy plants but this is crazy. Nodes on top of nodes. I'm going to get stuck in this week and strip the shit out of her and start placing LST ties and plan out where I want the flowering nodes to stretch to.
This is the last week of veg and when I get my TS1000 I'm going to flower everything
5_6_22 Changed the water and dropped the EC to 1/500PPM. Ambient solution was 110ppm. So 390ppm in nutrients.
Also 8 removed the 3&4th sets of nodes to allow the middle to open up to light and bud growth when I do the flip next week. Hopefully she'll perk up before the flip. My purple og punch is doing really well.
Welcome to my super lemon haze 1st DEC grow, I'm sure you can tell its my 1st.
She's doing OK. Not great looking. Giving her another few days. Stupidity I topped 4 of the nodes. So have to give them some time to grow out and then I'll flip.
13/6/22 So I butchered this lil lady. Tried opening up what I could and saved what had the longest nodes in between which are very thin. Very bad DWC.
Week 7 16/6 Root rot set in. I clipped the whole lot off. All the roots were black the water was stinky. Bad bacteria. Nothing i can do about the water temp. Have done away with terra power base nutrients for this one. But they are working fine on my other one, I'm not using the base nutrients though. So I've switched to dual part feed going to give it a go. See what happens. If it sets in again I'll be scraping it.
20/6 Well this has been a complete custer fuck. Root rot set in and why wouldn't it when at times my water is reaching 27c. My tent is hitting 32c so I'm doing the best I can. I've cut away all the roots and it seems to be holding it at bay but I can see its going to have real issues soon with nutrient uptake as the roots are in a sorry state. There just roots that are cut at the end of the pot. Sadly I've had to cut Terra Power loose. Not there fault I can't keep temps down. 4 lamps, 2 intake, 2 air pumps, 2 fans, air purifier, dehumidifier and to go with it a shit tent and then I have a tent inside a tent and that's my flowering tent and the DWC buckets have to be in there. I think my AC unit is arriving just a little too late. It'll be here this week. I think this plant has had it. Both DWCs I think I'm going call it what it is. A disaster. I ran before I could walk. That's just the truth. I can blame it on temps but it's my setup. Course its going to get hot with all that shit.
Week 8 day 51 26/6 Not doing great. Added calmag extra and it's at to fucking my plant. I noticed it before my lights went out I'll add a pic of it tonight.
Going to change it back to the way it was. I just don't have the temps to do DWC.
Week 9. Going strong surprisingly. I can smell the water. Really bad bacteria going on. Changing water every 2 days but I'm giving in. H202 is on its way to the rescue. Lots and lots of growth. Some needs to be taken away and I'll go in and clean her up. She's eating lots. 700ppm..I set it at that 4 days ago went in today and was at 250ppm with 5L left out of 10L..
Have decided to get the best out of my mars fc 3000 I'm going to move it into my 150x150 and transfer the DWC pots and 2 other photos into it with a exhaust set up. As I can only move the light up a few more CM..

Week 10. Got in and cleaned her up this week. Added h202 6%. Started with .5 left for a few hours and moved to 1ml/l. Should I leave the h202 in with the nutrients (which aren't organic) or what? My temps can jump up to 27 and can go right down to 21c. So, I should just keep it in with the nutrients right?
I cleaned up the both DWC plants. They are so big and bushy. They look tiny in that tent. I'm harvesting this week so I'll be moving the light and buckets into the big tent when it's 12 on and buckets and other 2 photos will go into flower tent with negative pressure and can be nice and cool. 23c

Week 10 D76 FD20 roughly. Well, she has old war wounds as I did take a real lazadazzy approach to this, and kinda messed em up. Had too much going on. But, I have it dialed in now, you can see old defs&toxs but all that is in the past, he lower and new growth is very healthy, temps in water have been extremely high but I've been able to keep bad bacteria at bay and roots are fairly healthy all a bit small in this grow but I did trim this girls roots right to the base of the net pot. They were black and the water was stinking. All gone now and I've stuff dialed in. She's eating and doing well, everyday I adjust the EC to 550 and usually with 1-2 days it goes down to around the 400mark and I have to adjust the PH back to 5.5, going to have to stick with it everyday now as both girls are drinking a L + a day. Am going to move them into my big tent this week as I'm harvesting this week so I'll have the space. And all my focus will be going into my DWC and 2 other photos. The mainline SLH is doing great. Lots of nodes and buds are getting nice and dense or they on the verge of been big. I'll be taking daily pics when I have them out in the open as it's no point taking daily pics to c the same thing. But when they are out and have more space we should see changes every couple days. Some of the bud looks a little iffy, but she been through a lot and a boat load of stress, so watching close for hermies. But I doubt they'll hit such solid genetics and a multiple award winning strain.
D77 moved photos into big tent, they have so much space now, they look so much bigger. They might look pretty shitty but that's all of war wounds, she actually is very healthy. Roots are in good shape. No smell, no slime, roots are strong and not breaking away with a touch.

Thanks to my sponsor, she knows who she is and to marshydro, love your new upgraded lights they ooze of quality.
Week 12. D78 FD22 THEREABOUTS. Doing well, all the marks (defs&toxs) are from weeks ago when I was very lazy about adjusting the EC&PH and these girls payed the price. And little to no LST didn't help none, was left to butcher her, and that I did. There wasn't much I could do with the way she was in the full tent. But she seems to be okay now, growing all a little funny but it's OK. Buds are very fluffy and fuzzy. But the buds on my mainline of the same strain have the norm look. So, idk. She has lots of bud sites and all, but very, well, poor. Hoping she'll bulk up some in the coming weeks.. 1st photos & DWC when I run again I'll just be doing DWC and maybe 1 or 2 soil grows. 12 plants on top of these didn't help and they were an after thought. But done right, you really can't beat the results DWC gives. Even poorly grow at the start she is still nice and big and bulky.

As for the light, it really is a piece of art. She has a 2m cord with the driver at the end of it, so more than enough for you to store the driver outside the tent. Is covering roughly 100x100 but even the autos put to the side to harvest during the week, are getting 20k lux at the front of the plant. She holds a really high ppf under the whole light and beyond the lux holds at a steady rate. Top piece of kit.
Thanks to my sponsor, she knows who she is, and to marshydro for making such a great piece of kit I'm delighted to have in my arsenal.

D85 She doing well. Have her dialed in. Have trouble with H202 and my poxy organic PH -. Its hard enough doing it with organic nutrients but doable. But adjusting the PH is constant battle. Am thinking of shifting the nutrients to jungle juice.
D87 FD32 She's doing well. Am going to clean her tank this week, her water is a little smelly. No slime, I just don't like the smell. As you can see, she's nice and healthy, only old war wounds from an abusive life. I've been on plant anger management and been doing well, I haven't brused her all month, I swear.
The plant is doing well. Healthy. Buds aren't huge. Tbh to get any bud will be a bonus.
D89 As you can see in the close up pics she is super healthy and doing perfecto. The few burn or spots are all old. As you can see the pics are of new growth. And new fan leafs that would show any problems, so you need to move away from burns and old spots, cause you will need to see if your plant is fixed. So, what I do, is I take pics of spots im concerned about, as there's no point in removing the whole leaf, (this you can also do when you defol) but even then, if they aren't blocking out light, leave them be. Just take pics to remind you that they are old war wounds and look to new growth.
Her water just got changed today. I set it at 520 and her PH was 5.6 no need to adjust the nutrients are perfect for DWC. Hard to balance it wit H202 as they are organic, but as you can see, growing DWC is more than doable in high temps, my water can jump up to 26.5 on super hot days, but mostly stays around 24-25c. But I do have days when it's 26+ and on them days, I monitor them closely. I know why my other DWC took a turn, read up on it, if you want to know why.

As for the plant. She is doing well. Really healthy. I've mixed it up with ripen a bit. I know its only for the last few days, but I'm trying something out, it suits my growing style, I know what it does. So I've lowered the PPM to 480 on this water change, I've cut the bloom down to 1/3 .33 and I've matched ripen ml/ml .33 and to keep some N in the mix I added half of the bloom boosters. So mixing them like this works out a really good NPK ratio. I reckon 2-5-5. I've changed the water, haven't added any H2o2 yet, as it's not needed and it'll only attack my roots, it's been a learning experience with h2o2 but I think I'm getting close to getting a better grips of how bacteria works. I adjust the PH 2-3 times a day, I won't need to today as I've only changed the water so should get 40hrs or so out of it. I'll have to add H2o2 tomorrow. Water temps will jump up to 26c before lights go out tonight. So I should be fine till tomorrow. I haven't had to do much but just keep a eye on the water, watch for slime, I know the smell of rot and root water now, both a foul but rot water is unmistakable. My roots are very weak, I'm afraid to add silica at this point because of what hit my other DWC I do not know. All I know it had silica in the water. So, I've pult back off it and the h2o2 has taken a beaten on my roots. But I'm learning and the degradation is a lot less, and to be able to grow a healthy plant at 27c water is just amazing I think. And I know no hydroguard wouldn't keep the rot away at that temps. The roots are black now just because of the PH + adjuster has turned them that way but they are healthy and so is the plant. She has her old wounds of course and I could get rid of all them leafs to show a 100% healthy looking plant but if I were to do that, I'd have to remove 20% of the leafs and the top is already very thin on leaf growth. Just going to keep a close eye on her and try get her over the next 20days. The buds are getting so heavy branches are having real trouble keeping themselves up. I've had to keep tucking them behind stronger nodes. The buds aren't big and have long colas like my soil mainline but these buds are smaller but still big stand alone buds that are rock hard and have very little trim. She's extremely frosty. I had a little taste of her, she was sadly very disappointing. DWC definitely needs to be cleaned. All I could taste was nutrients. Very hard to get a taste of the weed, that I know is there, I got super high of it, but was super harsh, I know chemical cough when I smoke it. Will need 5-10days on flora kleen or just soft water maybe with some light cal from green house feeding.
Want to thank my sponsor from marshydro, she's great, thanks for picking me up. And shout out to all of mars all working together, the reps, ppl who put the lights together, are doing a great job, love your new upgraded lights.
Also shout out to my main man at GHS for sponsoring me with new unreleased strains in the pic above and also for giving my kings tart to run which the diaries will be added soon just waiting on full GreenHouseFeeding line to be delivered.

Week 15 D102 FD 68sh. Well, this plant has been one of the hardest i think ill ever have to grow. But I think I've learnt more as a grower in this 1 grow than all my other 20combined. At 29.5-29.8 readings from both meters and not to have root rot for the 2nd time, and for the bud to be Soooo frosty and rock hard buds with little to NO leafs coming from it, I thought this would affect the trichome production but as you can see for yourself, the trichs are nearly all milky and very long and in abundance so much I didn't even had to zoom in, I just held phone close. Every bud is rock hard, as you can see, even the small ones look very deceiving, but the way so much the all branches are struggling to hold them up. I really think this is going to be my best grow yet.
WATER TEMPERATURE 24-29.8C The water temperature to be that high, and its been like that right through the whole grow and to been seen these results, well, its a shock, a good one.
ROOTS: This is the 2nd root ball, as I had to cut the 1st big one when I flipped her as root rot hit, hadn't really a clue about DWC, and was told H2O2 you need to be very advanced. But for a beginner I think the results speak for themselves. I'm kicking myself I didn't take clones, I don't think I'm going to get a pheno like this, i don't know if it was caused by her many issues and shortage of a lower absorb rate, something just worked in all the madness if that makes sense, now she nodes/stems are very weak. I tried silca but at the temps my plants took a bad affect to it. Learning to how deal with H2o2, well, I thought it would of taken a lot longer for me to learn, but even without buying an expensive chiller and having water temps from the beginning at 24c right up to 29.8 and getting the results I have, I'm just blown away and how strong these genetics are. My other DWC was treated the exact same, actually got more attention as she looked the better but the genetics just couldn't deal with the water temp even though it was sterile, as each degree you go about 22c you drop like 5-10% of nutrient uptake.
ORGANIC PH/NUTRIENTS WITH H202. Now, dealing with constantly adjusting the PH was a nightmare as All I had was organic biobizz PH down, so its why I set it a 5 as within an 3-4 hours it'll be back up to 6.5-7. I was setting it at 5.5 but had to adjust ever 2-3hrs so that extra .5 doubled the time in stayed in optimalish range
Structure/Buds:. As I said, she is very weak structure wise, she struggles to hold herself up as she has very weak roots you can pull the roots away with a little effort and I've no doubt as to why, now I know I have to introduce some silica especially in the pre flower weeks is the most important as once the stretch is over you would have needed to lock in that silica also if I can co get some enzymes while the lights are low for veg it might help but the h2o2 does damage so. Also then I'll pull it back so the plant can focus on fewer nutrients for her to focus on but as you can see, you can get a grow in this conditions, and a very promising one, she is by far the the most sticky thats stayed consistent through the entire grow.. you just have to brush against her and your arm will be sticky. WoW WoW, what a strain.
FC 3000 LIGHT:
Big thanks to my sponsor at Mars for supplying me with a light that was able to produce so far and bring the plant through a very though environment and brought some serious trichome production like I've never seen on my grows yet. And I can see my mainline getting longer more frosty trichomes.
NUTRIENTS:
WOW, I heard good things about these, but I just can't get over how they still worked effectively with such high water temperatures. Amazing.

HARVEST WEEK 112 DAYS 50 VEGGING 62 FLOWERING + 2 Days Dark Rest.
This week has been a week of bringing out a great smell. I have done all I can, myths, about dark resting, drying the plant whole, roots and all has been done. I can see the resin glistening, hard to see on camera but it's there, they are hard and very sticky. Only 1 out of the 3 loss their complete rock hardness and that was the Purple Og Punch, in fairness the leaf to calyx ratio is high, so is expected, the other 2 have got softer since the dark rest, but a lot lot sticker, so, this must be normal, if someone was just coming in, they'd just say they rock hard but I mean they were that hard if you threw 1 at a wall you'd wanna be ducking or you might get knocked out🤣🤣, ok, maybe not that hard. But they are super sticky, so super hard nugs I can forego for the price of sticky buds. I'm expecting on the dry+cure they'll harden up as the density is there, and go back to the way they were, no doubt. She has been struggling to hold herself up right, so, I hung her with roots and all, gave her a good shake. I usually just put up a harvest but because Idk what the smoke will be like, I'm not going to put ☆ up as you can't change them, hopefully GD will fix this, but they got a whole site to look after and the system they got now works, so hopefully on the next upgrade, who knows. But I'll leave the mark and smoke report/dry weight all in the 1 day now, I'll just be adding my own harvest week. As many ppl do who wanna rate after they sample.
She has many colas, a lot of unevenness, but for my 1st mainline, really, it's just a shit load of LST and a T shape, as a real mainline has exact or thereabouts the energy should be even, (every cola)
But in saying that, I'm happy. Not sure about wet weight I don't bother with that anymore, as I don't have a hang weight scales and I'm not chopping my plants up 2 get one neither, so guesses will do, I usually put up 5x the dry weight as wet.
Will update harvest week with all results in one blow so when it goes live ppl can see it for what it is and not miss out on smoke report as that doesn't get posted, the most important part, well, I think so.
Thanks to my many sponsors for getting me here and started on my new projects. I won't go naming em all just the 1s for this who contributed to this diary.
Marshydro led lights (best light I have in my arsenal, FC 3000) and Terra Power Nutrients, (hopefully I can try your nutrients out in water properly when I get temps under control), nothing but love. Top products and 2 great reps I dealt with.

This was a hard one to grow, as I'd never done DWC, and with my water temperatures she really is such a strong solid genetic strain.
I learnt a lot about growing from doing my few females. Probsbly more so by these 3 plants, 2 DWC and 1 mainline more them my 17 autos. So, all in all, I'm glad I did them. She surprised at the quality of the bud. She is so frosty its such a lovely sight to see her grinded, all the kief, love it.
