Week Summary: Big week, we moved into pre-flower this week and had a huge amount of growth even with some heavy defoliation. We had a water change this week and the roots look good. I'm changing water around every 10 days even though I know this is wasting some nutes. I'm doing this as my reservoir temps are a little higher than I like and I get new Hydroguard with the water change. So far, so good with my first hydro grow. Daily details below:
Day 29
I’ll probably cut some lower leaves this week and just keep tucking leaves as we go here. The plants are growing like crazy and are starting to drink quite a bit.
Day 30
Water levels are great, plants look incredible - another great day.
Day 31
So I’m pretty sure that I’m going to need a water change tomorrow or the next day as we’re 9 days out from my last change. But everything looks so good right now.
Day 33
Today I changed water. I also defoliated but you won’t see that until tomorrow’s pictures. In addition, the lights were turned up as the plants are going into flower (really quick) and I re-calibrated my pH controller and monitor. Here’s the particulars.
PPM: 1420
pH: 5.8
Water Temp: 69
FloraGrow: 10 mlGal
FloraMicro: 10 mlGal
FloraBloom: 10 mlGal
CalMag: 5 mlGal
HydroGuard: 2 mlGal
Target VPD: 1.2-1.6
Light %: 100
Day 35
Wow we’re at 5 weeks. My pics today will look like the plant is a little smaller due to the defoliation I performed last week. I did add some water this morning, around 1.2 gallons. They’re drinking a little over a half gallon a day (collectively).
PPM after water addition was 1290 (1440-150). This lowered EC but it appears it is drinking more than it is feeding.
@sandspur, I truly love growing these weeds and I'm stuck at home because of my health so my fun is online talking about these beautiful plants. Happy growing my friend 😁🌱🍻
@Cyrusdavirus,please don't apologize. I appreciate your input and typos happen all the time. Either way, I'm looking forward to it for a lot of reasons and I'm going to enjoy it sativa or indica dominant. Thanks again for the time you give others.
@sandspur, just went over there to double check and you are right it does say it's a sativa dominant strain. I haven't grown Seedsman's zkittles and actually can't remember who the breeders were but it was a little indica plant I remember because it was such a mix of pretty colored buds. Maybe what they crossed it with to make it autoflower is what makes it more sativa from the ones I grew 🤔 don't know sorry for the confusion 🤷
@GmansGarden, thank you. It was but I've stripped it a bit this week. I want to keep it healthy but thin it out for the last part of the grow to give the buds max light. My update today will show it thinned out.
@sandspur, a great man once said " if your not killing plants , your not growing; if you don't push yourself past the limits you will never know how far you can go"
That being said it's always nice to try a new method and make it work !!!
@Cyrusdavirus, thank you. They are doing really well. The pictures just don't do it justice. This is my best grow to date. Not high on style points but substance is really good here.
