For my first grow I can't really complain. I certainly made some mistakes but despite this the performance was more than satisfactory. Certainly the seed to harvest cycle lasted longer than I expected, the only negative aspect. Overall super good, I would recommend everyone to try this strain!

Lights
YIELD: 110 gr dry buds
45 gr dry leaves.
Harvest at day 95 (3/9/22)
8 days of drying (11/9/22). Now begin the curing stage at RH 58% (55gr) and 62% (55gr); in 14 days I'll make the smoke rewiev.
This was my first cultivation and thanks to this community I learned a lot and I have certainly had good results thanks to you too.
At the moment I have very little to say, during these 3 months I have tried to update the diary to my best and I hope this will be of help for those who will have the patience to consult it in the future.
Hydroponic cultivation was a tough challenge, but I'm confident for the next cycle, I've learned a lot in these months!
Hulkberry Auto is a beautiful plant, mistake-resistant and looking great when ripe.
Thanks @SwissKush for always being by my side in achieving this goal, thanks bro.
Smoke review
1Β° smoke review: (30/9/22)
After 8 days drying + 19 days curing (half in Boveda 58% and other half in 62%) weed tastes and smells still of chlorophyll. Need more time for curing, at least other 10-15 days I guess. At the moment dominant tastes are pungent and citrus.
2Β° smoke review: (13/10/22)
After 8 days drying + 32 days curing weed tastes fine, just a little bit of chlorophyll. Smell is amazing, very defined.
3Β° smoke review: (10/11/22)
After 8 days drying + 60 days curing Hulkberry is perfect, terpene profile is awesome and effects are pretty strong.
---
About the effects, they are more celebral then physical. It's definitely a sativa dominant, you'll be very talkative and energetic after smoked. I suggest to smoke it in the morning after the first coffee of your day.
---
It was a pleasure write here my journey and I'm so happy for the Newbie award.
See you in the next diary.
Thanks for reading my diary,

DWC - white stuff under the pot. What's this?

SwissKushanswered grow question 2 years ago
It could be 2 reasons:
1. chelated minerals, sometimes minerals dont mix well together and cause this to gel substance to happen, you will need to make sure there are no foul smells. I would change the DWC nutrients with less minerals maybe .25 ml/L.
2. rockwool rot, "Rotwool" from overwatering the rockwool, you will smell a noticeable foul smell. If you DO smell a stinky or rotten smell, its time to start over with new seed.
Most likely chelated, or gelled minerals if there is no stink smell.

SwissKushanswered grow question 2 years ago
Could be a few things:
a. dried water droplets from humidity too high or making the mistake of spraying plants this young
b. PH problems with the Rockwool cube. Typically rockwool cubes are PH 9 or 10 and it takes a soaking them in PH 5.5 water for at least 3 days to bring it down within a range that your plants can uptake minerals with. It has taken me 6 days before to achieve this. If your PH of the cube is too high, your plant will struggle with its uptake of nitrogen and other core growing minerals... just because your DWC water tells you the PH is within range, it doesn't mean the PH around the new stem is fine...If you soaked your Rockwool cubes for 3+ days you should be fine, but if not you will have a bad growing experience without any yield.
c. overwatering, top watering 1L at a time, and improperly spraying is very excessive, and will cause your water levels to creep up within the basket causing rot and other unpleasantries.
d. improperly using Mineral Magic with young plants will burn them causing brown spots... mineral magic should be used with the 3rd node of leaves is present.
I am sure the issues here are a combination of the scenarios above. Roots should be in the pool day ~6 - 10.

Do I have too much bubble in DWC bucket?
It's 10 liter jar but it was filled with only 6 liters to stay away at least 1 cm from the pot with clay.

You won't need to close it. If the smell were to come out of the gap it would come through the rest.
The whole point of doing what you are doing, is you want a negative pressure seal.
With that vent open. Air comes into it. (Can't come out of it, smell travels with air flow) just think about it for a sec.
I use a sealed tent with no vents open and just leave the hole at bottom where you put the plug wire through keep that say on the bottom left, and extraction on top right will make for decent air flow. But you want that neg pressure seal. Look it up. There's a big difference in my bud already. And as for RH/TEMP whatever you keep your grow room at your tent will only be a few % difference in your grow room compared to your tent. Trust me a neg pressure seal you want. I won't go into it. There's just too much. Read up about it. As for what you are doing now you can seal up your tent or leave the vent half open no smell will move unless air is blowing out the seems and with a neg pressure it goes through the exhaust.
You'll learn about co2 and the importance of bringing in O2 that will draw in co2. Having that vent sealed will drop your co2, unless you add extra co2
Good luck.

SwissKushanswered grow question 2 years ago
A.Likely this is the PH adjustments that had to be made. This only takes a few hours to show up. It could be the beginning of nutrient burn.. 1.5ml/L is very strong for Mineral Magic... typically we use 0.2g/L or 0.4g/L. The measurement on the jar of Mineral Magic instructions says 4g for every 10 liters.. 1.5g/L would be close to 15g for every 10 liters.. 3x too hot for the setup if the numbers are all listed correct.
B. if you are using EC 0 water, you will need cal-mag, literally right now. The water I use for my DWC is 200ppm from the stream with high levels of all naturally occurring minerals like Iron, Calcium, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Silicate. I still use Cal-Mag sometimes depending on the breeder. FastBuds seems to be cal mag thirsty.
I run all of my DWC grows 28-30 degrees during the day, 20 degrees at night. The temperature split of 8-10 degrees makes them grow very fast from what I have experienced. I am a strong believer in the 10 degree difference in night versus day temperatures like in nature.
For mars hydro I use 2x TS1000s, intensity 100% about 100-110cm away (permanently mounted in top of mars hydro tent) it allows for the temperature at the plant to be around 28 all the time. I never touch the light's intensity knob until the last few weeks of growth to simulate the summer to autumn season which works very well!
Plant is looking good, we have all had this happen, no worries! She will be strong! She has good master growing her!

in less than 15 days the plant should start flowering and I was taking a look at the ATAMI BCUZZ HYDRO table that I have been following from the beginning...

The plants in charts are not for cannabis. Your vegging npk ratio is 3-1-2. Flowering npk ratio is 3-1-2. As you shift stages you are going from one ratio to another. So you are about to be where she can benefit from all 3 then the shift will happen more as Flowering sets in more. I like to introduce bloom nutes about a week before them build on it. Good luck happy growingπ±

Hi guys, from today some of new leaves are growing like this. Is everything regular or is it a sign of something wrong? Given my inexperience I don't understand the symptoms from the leaves.

Chow_13answered grow question 2 years ago
I would say she is hungry or your NPK ratio is incorrect.
Test your EC after she has drank some of your bucket.
If the EC is lower then increase the feed, If it is the same then your NPK ratio is incorrect. I don't think its calcium as your adding a lot to your feed. I would say more P or K .
If it is higher then your in lockout and need to reduce your feed.
Also note your humidity is fairly high. You want to reduce it during flower to avoid bud rot. Shoot for around 40-50.

Hi guys, today I found these spots on some leaves, few actually. I think it is an excess, in fact the EC in my DWC has been rising for a few days. Could you tell me more please? π

SwissKushanswered grow question 2 years ago
The brown rust spots beginning are pretty common. It is the very early start of a nutrient lockout phase. The EC rose because your plant is drinking more water than it is eating the nutrients. Luckily you will be able to remedy this very fast with DWC. I would replace the entire nutrient pool and replace with fresh 5.8-6.0 water with half the nutrients that you are using. After a few days you can gradually increase the nutrient blend.
The buds look awesome! Good luck! π

She is Ripening so well man, congrats!! With Autos in a sterile DWC is always 15/16 weeks due to the lack of stress and extra oxygen molecule she gets from the H202. Great Ripening blend, she has consistently loved the 1.7 EC in the sterile DWC pool throughout flowering!! The consistency that you have kept monitor over the EC and PH is impressive, be so proud! π

She is Ripening so well man, congrats!! With Autos in a sterile DWC is always 15/16 weeks due to the lack of stress and extra oxygen molecule she gets from the H202. Great Ripening blend, she has consistently loved the 1.7 EC in the sterile DWC pool throughout flowering!! The consistency that you have kept monitor over the EC and PH is impressive, be so proud! π
Those colas are looking very nice! It is the time to take the TS1000 dimmer to 75% for the first 5 days of Ripening blend, and to 50% the last 5 days! During the last 5 days of the GHE Ripen blend, take the lights to 12/12 schedule, during the night cycle the Phosphorus and Potassium will really uptake nicely causing the resin glands to engorge themselves with more sugars, terpenes and psychoactive compounds. All of the pistils will all become brown in the last 5 days. You will notice an excessive amount of frosting happening to every bud on the plant. We are simulating the entrance of the Autumn season, allowing the DWC plant to naturally close its last chapter. Since you have EC 0 water to flush and amazing air pumps in your 10L res, we only need to run that EC 0 flush for 24 hours, with lights at 12/12, and them remove the flush water, this preserves all flavor. For 2 more days she will grow in the complete darkness and then you will harvest. Pistil color tells you the maturity of the plant, looking at surface trichomes do not tell you what all of the inside intra plant trichomes look like. If the pistils aren't all brown the inside trichomes are all clear in the inside of the plant and are not ready. This is how commercial growers of 25+ years do it
Forecast for properly Ripening the Hydroponic Hulk:
Day 85-90 - Ripen blend + H202 = EC 1.7, PH 6, with TS1000 Dimmer 75% and lights 18/6 (the white pistils will all turn pink, orange and brown)
Day 90-95 - Ripen blend + H202 = EC 1.7, PH 6, with TS1000 Dimmer 50% and lights 12/12 (there should be no white pistils on day 10 of Ripen blend)
Day 96 - Remove the all the red Ripening water from the DWC tank and Install EC 0 flush water only, with TS1000 Dimmer 50% and lights 12/12
Day 97 - Remove flush water, lights OFF, total darkness
Day 98 - no water in tank, lights off, total darkness
Day 99 - Harvest your monster Hulkberry Bruce Banner plant in the morning, and remove only the large fan leaves, hang the whole plant upside down, with the scrog net in place for spacing.. then start the drying process. π Check my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds diary to see how to hang dry upside down with Scrog net still in place, works very well! 6-7 days of 50RH in the dark, and they will be ready to cure. π
