Roots are into the DWC at this point so I’ve stopped top watering. Don’t like the small amount of algae growth I’m getting on the top of some of the clay pellets. Might spray it down with some diluted H2O2 to clean it up a bit.
Using well water with 1ml/L gets me to 400~ ppm tds. Also lowered light to get them more light. Light is at 350 ppfd. Topped both plants at day 12 into Veg.
They are looking good to me, I would not overthink it to much.
When the plants are small and growing they seem like they are doing nothing and going to slow till they start to explode :D
Its good that your monitoring the EC of your feeding solution I think this will be a great assist your grow and help avoid a lot of potential problems.
Best Of Luck!

Bumped up the lighting this week at approx 450ppfd. Also bumped the nutes to around 500 ppm. Will continue to look for signs of light stress or low nutes.
Okay, so i didn't look through your diary at the start just these silly answers, (not the answers been silly, just the fighting)
So, you are growing in Hydroponics, you have huge Fan leafs that are going to be a real issue in hydros, unless you leaf tuck or move them fan leafs I recommend taking the top 4 big boys, need to get light into the nodes/growth below. As they are huge and will block the growth below, as its hydro growth is rapid and energy you need to max out on and play it smart. So the big boys on top and pull and move where you can.
BTW, you are doing a great job, 1st time with growing and with hydros, very impressive.
Good luck & enjoy
Growth seems ok but they look a little droopy to me. Upped the nutes this week to 600 ppm and light is at 550 ppfd. Running 18/6 light cycle. Going to be starting my scrog soon to get these girls spread out.
Feel like I’m getting some deficiency so I started adding some cal mag to my water. Hoping to see it stop spreading. Got the scrog setup this week and will start training and getting ready to flip.
This is burning from feeding too much or too often,.....or both.
Acapulco Gold being a sativa requires much less feeding, especially nitrogen, than your typical indica or hybrid.
Cutting your feeding in half should stop this from getting too much worse.
Letting them fill in the scrog before flipping to flower. I’m thinking by the end of the week I’ll flip. Moved the lights farther away this week and the plants are looking better. Shooting for around 400 ppfd in Veg. I think I was pushing to much light causing nutrient uptake issues.
How are they looking? I’m only feeding 1/2 the nutes recommended on the bottle and I’m running around 600ppfd. Do you think they look like they need more light or nutes.
I would mention again that if you don't really see a problem and they look fine like I think they do in the picture,I would just stay the same.
You might create more problems for yourself trying to figure something out.
It kinda depends how much are you ready to potentially lose by try and error.
Personally I have a good stock so I can afford to test
Just maintaining for now. Things seems to be looking and developing well. Will continue to monitor for changes but for now it’s steady as she goes. It’s exciting to start to see all the bud sites coming in.
Hey Growmie, I don’t agree with Grannie, sorry Grannie, I feel it it is a Potassium issue. Classic yellowing of the leaves at the edges that works its way from top to stem, rusted/burnt edges only… if it were calcium, there would be rust spots and damage everywhere. Adjust accordingly and it’ll reverse, the leaves will still be damaged, but it shouldn’t look worse or work its way through the plant. Good luck 👊🇨🇦❤️
Feeding the same the last couple weeks. Just letting things run the course and fill out in size and weight. Bumped up some potassium a few weeks back in suggestions and seems to have stopped the leaves yellowing around the edges. Room is filling up nicely. I’m looking forward to the next few weeks to see how these develop later in flower.
Started to harvest at day 58 into flower. Just over 9 weeks. Took the top “Ripest” colas and left everything else underneath to grow and ripen for the next 10+ days. Drying in a spare tent at 60% and 60* with light non direct air movement. The buds arnt the biggest due to all the tops I made with the scrog but I was surprised by how heavy and dense the felt when loading the drying rack. Also clipping the tops and loading them on the rack very gently and holding mostly by the stems left my fingers wet and sticky. Can’t wait to see how they turn out.
I’ve harvested about half the room 2 weeks ago. It’s been drying/curing in 60/60 since. Just got that part all trimmed up and bagged in grove bags today. Going to pull the remaining buds in the morning and cycle those in my drying tent for about 2 weeks as well. So far the bud seems very sticky when trimming but not a ton of smell yet unless you get very close. I’m thinking the terpene profile will develop in the cure. I play to cure for two weeks before starting to sample. Will post updates of weight totals and smoke report once available. Approx 2 weeks out.
