1st grow - Grandmommy Purple - *Now DWC*

2/5-2/11 Week 7 flower 2/10 - I know I'm late with updating. I probably haven't because I am not super pleased with the current goings on with the grow and that makes me less motivated to share. It is below what I would say my standards are. It's all my fault, too; So that makes it worse. If I would have just been using Great White the whole time with the DWC switch or if I would have grabbed Hydroguard for the switch as well. But this was my first grow and it got fairly difficult. I can't wait for it to be over so I can redesign. We are actually very close to the finish. Today is day 53 flower. So this time, next week, in 7 days, we will be looking close at chopping then or after. Either way, I think all the plants have root rot, pythium, but only B and D have it bad. Sawtooth and C have it too but either way early, being managed, or growing slow. Not sure. At some point this week I was pulling out clumps by the handful of rotting roots from B and D. I think I can make it to the end. Not many days left. I turned the light down to 70% because B and D were getting very sensitive to light. I found sun tan burns in leaves. Very weird. I don't think the plant is deficient, it was the lights. Sucks to have to turn the lights down because the other 2 plants are fine with it, but whatever. I think it's helping and staving off more burning or at least more aggressive burning. The burning has definitely slowed. I'm reducing ppms. Hit 578 for the feeding this week. I want to reduce B and D's ppm further, because of the light burn and root rot. We will see. Plants seem to like this ppm. Also, after I started adding Southern AG's GFF, along with Great White, consistently, the pH has been real stable across all the reservoirs. This is a very odd occurrence for me. Normally, things would be spiking here and there and some would need pH up and some would need pH down. It was all over. But whatever I am doing right now has the ppm/ec hovering at the same number as water goes down and pH barely changes. Its beautiful and I think what the goal of DWC feeding is. Too bad I was feeding more than double for the first 2 weeks and then almost double for another week or so. Oh well. Otherwise, the plants are looking good. Even the problem ones have awesome looking buds. So... I just need to stick it out another week. The plants don't really smell all that much. I get weird smells in the tent like DMT, rose, lilac, then just like a light weed smell. It's really hard to place a smell. I think all the plants might smell different. Some smell fruitier than others and some smell like pungent weed that is borderline offensive. I have exercised maximum restraint. Earlier in my grow, when I asked people on the internet about a flower that looked weird, I was accused of squeezing the bud. I have to say, I didn't want to then and that guy was stupid, but I really want to squeeze one now. The urge is fairly strong. I am happy to say I have not given in. Especially those weird looking tower buds that seem to be foxtailing. If that is what foxtailing is. It looks like the flower is growing little towers. I have a bunch of things gathering for processing. Washer on the way, I have bubble bags, and a bunch of buckets to cannibalize. I am not sure how I am going to handle the branches that have dead leaves. I guess I will see what happens once I harvest. The plan is going to be to pretty much fresh freeze everything off the problem plants and I will dry and cure the other 2. We will see. Maybe more will be dedicated to washing. No matter what, I plan on washing for bubble hash to press into hash rosin. I am very much looking forward to this. I also grabbed a few trays to trim in that have screens. I will have a lot of things to play with. Add my rosin press in and we will be doing some things soon.
