c. environment is controlled and stable, no changes
Day 14 - new growing blend for DWC
a. introduced new grow blend, trying out a replacement for Mineral Magic. I have plenty of the powder, I just need it for my garden vegetables and other plants more than the cannabis in the sterile DWC. I switch to the Armor Si (potash/silicate) that is in the liquid form. I have heard that Armor Si is very good for silicate supplement.
b. I will enter the nutrients into the above in the order of addition to the water.. is very important with Armor Si and CaliMagic.
c. She will get the full blast of veg nutrients. She is very big for her age with so many ladder roots in the pool. Since @Fast_buds genetics seem to love DWC, especially their legendary strains, she will get only the best natural alpine stream water (200ppm) and the GHE liquid pro line. I use 2 10L glass jugs from the stream on my farm, then I add the CaliMagic and mix, then Armor Si, and Mix, Then Micro and Mix thoroughly (make sure to shake bottle before extracting with the syringe), , then add Grow, and Bloom and then mix thoroughly and add the H202 3%, not sure why growdiaries always lists it first. My solution was a nice medium red/brown without the cloudiness the powder sometimes brings. Hoping this will keep the air stones nice and clear too. I think she is about to explode from everywhere!
d. removed the small humidifier from seedling stage. We do not want to stunt part of our plant with too much humidity.
@DeepWaterGrower, Yes, Sir, this is a very hearty strain that throughout the grow becomes increasingly hungry for nutrients. Feeding her early likes this gets her appetite nice and ready for the later growth. I think my last grow I got her up close to 2000ppm at one stage!!
@DeepWaterGrower, she is bent, just under the scrog net not tied down just yet, post picture for you bro.. have to get some more tie soon from the shop, may just keep bend under scrog
@Fast_Buds, The Pineapple Express never made it past germination, the root never grew more than 2mm after 7 days from the seed, never sprouted. Switching to Blue Dream Auto.
@Qutro, Yes, when you mention Blue Dream, I had remembered I had bought this seeds back years, and always want to try. it is so many people's favorite, but I have never tried! 😂
@Tropicannibis_Todd, thanks a million, and thank you for the support! Every little bit always helps. This one sure does look like some good smoke, smells like it also. I will be sure to give a good review once I try some!
@SwissKush, I've grown a couple out in the woods years ago but not autoflower, they were nice but nothing like the plants we grow nowadays. It's different growing when you only see your plants once a month. You never know what you are going to find when you go visit
I have a blue cheese outside now I'm really impressed with, I planted it for someone and they decided not to take it so I just threw it out in the corner of my yard and have been watering it. It's a photo that was planted in August It's about halfway through flower now, I'm hoping the weather holds long enough for it to finish it's doing really good I'm very surprised 😮 😆
