Started first week of vegetative grow a few days ago, and the girls are both responding well to the new diet
First clean up and new nutrients.
Both girls looking really good in the early veg growth stage
Lowered the light and it exploded with growth over the weekend, will continue with same nutrients formula diluted at 50% this week.
Today we cleaned the reservoirs, and put in an agressive growth formula diluted 50% for the girls to get ready to week 3 of veg growth, both started showing some roots this week.
Week 3 of veggie growth, already had or first trim to keep the girls looking and feeling good. We are on a aggressive growth formula still diluted at 50%
Week 4 of veggie growth is here and both girls are looking very good, extract about 0.4 gals from the reservoirs to give the roots a bit more ventilation and avoid mineral build ups around the base of the netpots and pebbles.
Closing week 4 of veg growth with the begging of the scrog and a quick flush of just fresh water for the girls to start transitioning to flowering
Going into week 5 of veg grow, both doing very well, right now in a quick flush to get ready for flowering.
After the flush, couple days in the transition formula and a quick trim
Both girls doing extremely well in the transition formula, few days more to the next clean up and change to bloom and Flowers.
Also responding very well to the scrog and trimming process.
Changed the formula from transition to bloom and flower. Let's see what week 7 bring few days.
Looks like your girls are getting leggy like mine. Take a look at my pics from my 2nd grow, week 2, to see how you can support them a little until they get their roots set in. I use a bread tie and poke it into the rockwool (not too far, so you don't cut the existing roots).
@BeefWellingtons, yes they're grow tall faster than they're getting wide down the stemp, but I still have plenty of room in the netpots to fill and top it with more pebbles to stabilize them, I think I'll be doing that tomorrow, either way, I wanted to see how the behave in the early stages and see how the naturally grow towards the light even when the bent a bit, I was thinking about doing some support similar to yours, but I don't want to stress them that much so early by handling them, hopefully the pebbles will do the work
Hey tgs420 looking good for your 1st go at cultivating cannabis. Being a Recirculating Deep Water 💦 Culture cultivator myself the only advice that I give to first time DWC or RDWC cultivators is to feed at a fraction of what the nutrient labels 🏷️ say and don’t over correct your ph. The direct access that the roots have to a constant bath of aerated nutrients means you can feed at much lower strength. My current garden is 4 weeks into Veg and I am around 480 ppm. During Flower it is rare that I get to 700 ppm because it is usually not necessary. Also, by allowing your ph to drift you allow the plant to uptake the individual elements necessary for growth at the ph where they are most available to the plant. I will drop my ph to 5.6/5.7 and let it rise to 6.3/6.4 before I drop it back down again. I post bi-weekly updates to my YouTube channel. Check it out if you get a chance.
