F7 today. A lot of growth the last 10 days. Tent is starting to get full! Changed to flower nutrients on F3. I raised the lights on F7. 1 or 2 of the Ethiopian Flames in the back look a little light stressed and I used my PPFD app and had my light WAY too close. I raised my light from 19" to 24-25" above the canopy, that gives me a 950-1k PAR reading in the middle. Ethiopian Flame - 4 plants left. I am pretty sure I have 2 males:2 females, but I want to wait another couple days before I cull anything. Then I will be able to spread them out and train them. Alien Rift - 3 Plants in the back looking nice. Still waiting for the sexing and I plan to only flower 1. Indian Kush Cake - I am going to take a clone of the mutant on the left and flower it. She's the one who started off topping itself into 3 nodes and has some interesting mutations. The safer bet is probably the smaller plant but screw that, no ones favorite plant is the boring normal one. EC 1.4 - Everything is about 670-720 PPMs. I don't think I am going to stick with the new nutrients. Plants look healthy, but not sure it is better than botanicare and ventana nutrients are almost double the price. Plus I have to use a shit ton of pH down. I will probably keep their silica product as it doesn't mess with the pH when I add it. pH - 5.5-5.9. It always jumps up to 6.2-6.4 for 1-2 days after the res change. It is a pain in the ass to keep going back in and adding pH down. Early pH instability + cost are the main reasons I am going back to botanicare. Have a good week and thanks for stopping by! πŸš€πŸš€

That Flame is a lanky beast! The unbalanced net cup can be a pain - I've got the same thing going on with my Formula One Plus. She's a leaner.

@Oozle, Haha! I used an antique iron! Stability is the one thing I miss about using the 6" pail inserts with the built-in net pots in my buckets. Since switching to 4" net pots and fitting them through a hole cut out of the bucket lid, I've had a couple of leaners. I do like the 4" pots in that they're much less expensive and require far less hydroton.

The garden is looking great. Too true about the mutant plants being the most interesting ones πŸ˜… I look forward to the results of your cloning efforts - have you cloned anything before? That's something I still have to try.

@StunFlower, I have some extra room so I figured if I can keep 1 or 2 nice plants in my stable. Some strains I get so much yield it takes me a year to go thru it. I am hoping the clones will allow me to run more, smaller plants.

@Oozle, Thanks for the info! Sounds to me like your first try was pretty darn successful. It's something I've always been interested in trying. I'll get to it one day!

@StunFlower, ty! I cloned some for the first time last week (8 Ethiopian Flames). I made a little DWC cooler for them. They rooted, but I burned them pretty bad (too much feed). So I am simplifying my strategy this time. The Ethiopian Clones showed roots and are in soil now, so they should make it. I think out of 8 original clones, 6 or 7 made it. Not bad for my first try. I am going to mother 1 of the Ethiopian flames if the smoke is excellent. This time I cut the Alien and Indian, used the rooting hormone and put them right into starter plugs in a humidity dome. Seems much easier than having to manage a reservoir. I will keep you updated with my results.

Congrats on the harvest and thanks for the impressive grow report. Your comments about the terps in the DWC run vs. soil is very interesting. Disappointing that the DWC grow didn't net the expected result this time around - like you say, could be environmental and/or the change in nutes. I recently read that terps in flowers grown in DWC are not as strong as those grown in soil because of the humidity levels associated with DWC - "the plant doesn’t go through the natural short periods of drought that other plants do, which is what increases terpene production." Not sure how true this is - smells a bit like bro-science πŸ˜ƒ

@StunFlower, Well drought stress does increase sugar content in fruit (apples in particular) trees, so I think that's where the theory comes from. But it would take someone to be very precise on how much drought stress and when.. so it isn't just stop watering "x" days before harvest and you get a better terps. So mostly bro science for cannabis growers until there is a study on how much and when to start the drought stress. If it is a fact, it should be reproduceable over and over again. I've had better or the same results with this strain in DWC, so I definitely wouldn't say soil > DWC, just in this instance haha. I'd have to do a lot more plants and a lot more strains before I came to that conclusion. I do get more expressions in soil, but that could be how I feed in DWC, so I've been bringing down my cal-mag and N more lately to see if I can match the color expressions I get in soil.

are you feeding your plants with all 11 products at the same time?
Oozle

@grzegorzdelaurans, no. I am running different nutrient lines for different plants. 1 plant (Alien Rift) is on Ventana nutrients. The other 3 (Ethiopian and North Indian) I am using botanicare. I was trying ventana nutrients out and I didn't have enough nutrients to finish them all. Week 2 of flower I switched all plants except the Alien Rift to botanicare.

@StunFlower, I have clones of it rooted into 1 gallons now. Im hoping to run the clone of it in december. Hoping to get some better pictures of the red/purple as it gets a bit older.

I've had some higher than I'd like water temps as well with the hotter weather we've had this summer. Thankfully it's come down to a more comfortable level (70-71) over the past week or so. Your seedlings look great. Good luck with the new nute line - any reason for the change?
Oozle

@StunFlower, A couple reasons. Botanicare is great, cheap, consistent, and easy to use but I have some pH problems. Im hoping this line is more stable. The Silica in this line is more stable than potassium silicate, so I am hoping that alone will help the swings. But the main reason is to try out the FlaVUH product. It has some proprietary stuff in it that is supposed to increase terps etc. IDK how true the stuff is, but it wasn't too expensive and figure I'd give it a shot.

Love the germination cooler, and that exciting lineup of genetics, of course. I look forward to the show! 🌱 πŸ“Ί
