My first attempt at a DWC grow and I feel pretty confident. She's been in her clay rock's for a couple days now and her roots are already starting to hit to water. I feel like that's a good thing lol.

Good week, lots of new growth both foliage and root. I seem to have some hydro slime but that was most likely the cheap ph down I was using. Anyway, everything is back to normal with a fresh reservoir with fresh nutrients. The pH is on the low side but the plant looks fine and it's been in her new reservoir for almost a day now. I'll keep a close eye her to make sure nothing drastic happens.

Great week! She's literally doubling in size every week. Yes this is my first DWC, so I'm not used to seeing this kind of growth day to day. It's quite simply amazing lol. One more week of veg after this one and it's flower time!!!

Oh man she's looking lovely as you can see. Kinda missed a week there but nothing to really report other than switching her into flower. This is one week of 12/12 so far and she stretched out quite nicely and popped up a bunch of flower sites all around. I really can't wait to see this bad girl in full bloom

Strong week with a load if stretching! She's easily doubled in size since start if flower so I'm hoping she slows down on the stretch... We should start to see flower production now so that's exciting. I'd like to recommend envy base products as a side note. This was a first for me and the background information on envy isn't all that extensive for sure, but from using it and actually seeing the results so far...very happy to say the least.

Great week with a bunch of new growth! She's starting to put off quite the aroma as well as really getting into her bloom. I'm sure this plant won't disappoint at all.

Not much to add for this week besides the usual. Nice growth but unfortunately she's a little too tall and is actually only half a foot from the light, if that! Smh...hopefully there is minimal light damage by the end of her flower... Next week we'll decrease the nitrogen a little more and up the phosphorus and potassium.

Awesome week with plenty of growth to show off! She's gorgeous...hands down, couldn't be better and could definitely be much worse. I must be doing something right. She smells amazingly piney and diesely, I guess I would describe it as. Few more weeks to go!!!

Look at her go! Isn't she gorgeous?!? I'm extremely happy with the way things are turning out for this big girl here! Lots of flowers that are super dense from the look and feel of her. Can't wait till harvest

Here we are starting our second to last week of flower and everything is up and up. Definitely going to be on the lighter side as far as yield but quality is out of this world! I wish you guys could smell this bad girl. Ridiculous amount of trichomes and I really can't wait for harvest lol. I dropped her nutes considerably for this week to get her ready for her final week which will be straight pH adjusted water to flush out any nasties before the big chop

So here we are on our final week. Flush week that is. I was thinking about letting her go an extra week but unfortunately I need the tent space for my next two ladies that I just put into flower. The buds are amazing and the smell is Devine. LOL although she is definitely on the light side as far as overall yield but I'm sure the quality will more than make up for it. Next week is harvest!

Not a bad grow at all as far as quality of smoke. Very terpy and full of resin but the yield was pretty lackluster to say the least. Probably get about 100 grams total.

This was my first DWC grow as well as my first time growing Ethos Genetics. I'm super impressed with both and am already planning my next Ethos grow as well as looking into a 3 bucket RDWC system. The plant rooted quickly and from there she just took off. Doubling in size every week! The only downside being the yield...but next time we'll try from seed.

Amazing to see how it grows at 100w light!! Great grow!! Next time you may try to make the canopy even. so light reach all the buds at the same potency.

@Psilocubensis, I agree. It was my first time growing dwc and I was a little lost as far as how to train her in the bucket, ya know...lol. I have done my research now and see how to go about it next time.
