[DAY 43] - 13/07/2022 - Temp. 29° / RH: 50/60%; - EC 1.3; PH 6.3 - In the next few days: a) I will gradually raise the EC up to 1.5, first with a large addition of CaMg+ (up to 3/4 ml/L), then moving on to the full pre-flowering feed; b) I try to keep PH at 6.0 to improve the absorption of cal-mag; - Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 50 cm away from the center of the net - 18/6 cycle; - Many leaves seems to be too green, almost dark green, we'll see next days how plant grows and fix if needed; - I widened the canopy a bit outwards through the scrog net, I hope it will help the light penetrate better in the center; - I also removed a single leaf that was very large and which from day one was blocking all the light in the center of the net. I was certainly wrong not to remove it before, which is a lesson to me for the next runs. [DAY 44] - 14/07/2022 no update, just uploaded pics [DAY 45] - 15/07/2022 - 28°/29° C - 45%/50% RH (dry day); - PH 6.0/6.2 - EC 1.5 (1.1 preflower blend and 0.4 only CALMAG due demineralized water); - Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 40 cm away from the highest point of the plant - 18/6 cycle; - A bit leaf tucking today - This weekend I'll remove the ties; - Center of the net is slowly filling up, new small branches are popping up and I hope they can fill that central hole. [DAY 46] - 16/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.2 - EC 1.5 ; - Since yesterday almost all the new leaves are growing showing signs of some problem (look pictures). Some deficiency? Excess of nutrients? Other? I ask with a growquestion and hope to understand more about it. Fingers crossed 😐 - Thanks to the advice of @Chow_13 and @SwissKush I realized that the leaves were signaling me to start flowering nutrition right away, the plant is starting to require more P and K. I just replaced the solution in the DWC with 8 liters of bloom nutrient. In the evening I upload some pics to show how plant reacts. [DAY 47] - 17/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.2 - EC 1.6; - I just regenerated the CO2 tanks and I decided to put them outside the box because they are too bulky (the tube through which the CO2 passes is inside the grow box). [DAY 48] - 18/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.1 - EC 1.7; - TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt); - New leaves are growing well. - Removed the branch tie; - Found an ant on the log, but how the hell did you get in? [DAY 49] - 19/07/2022 - 29° C - 60% RH ; - PH 6.0 - EC 1.74; - TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt); - Plant is drinking about 1.5 liters of solution per day. I'm trying to keep the PH below 6.1, at the moment it is 6 and tomorrow I try to lower it to 5.9 / 5.8; I highlight how the solution inserted on 16/07/2022 had EC 1.6 and today the EC is 1.74, it has slowly risen over the last few days. For the moment nothing alarming, I see how it proceeds and if so I intervene; - Removed the 2-3 liters still in the DWC and inserted 8 liters of new solution: EC 1.37 - PH 5.9. The plant was not drinking well, the EC was continuing to rise and tomorrow I start the new week, so I anticipated the replacement of the solution. EC 1.6 was too much? Or the plant was not yet ready for a full flower blend? I don't know, let's see how it goes with the new solution.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 growing🌱

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. Info: DWC - 42 days from germination - PH 6.0-6.4 - EC 1.5 - Temp: 29 - RH 60%

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.

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! 😍

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! 😍 (replaced my previous comment due to the numerous trolls that are cropping up, lol, on here)

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! 😍 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. 😍 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. 😍
