Presoaked in a glass of natural spring water for 12 hours and then sowed directly into rapid rooters. Seeds appeared after 2-3 days. 3 out of 3 germinated. Going for quick germination and root growth from the jump with my nutrient combo.
Also, I started this grow as a traditional DWC but by day 21 I switched it over to an automated LPA.
Ok its been many years since I have done a grow and I was lazy on checking for light leaks and as you can see I had a very mild light leak through the hydroton and used that sheet of paper to block it. As a result I noticed the start of some brown algae and was forced to do a reservoir change. This is never ideal at such a young age of the plant in DWC because you are destroying the roots microbiome and pest resistance. Anyway I think I dealt with mild root rot after the change but am documenting the plant that was LEAST effected by it. I added more aeration and made sure there were no more light leaks and held back my urge to mess with the reservoir until at least week 3.
Things were going great and then instead of waiting until my next grow and having to deal with traditional DWC water changes, I switched to a recirculating low pressure aeroponics system. The transition for plant 4 was great. Luckily I caught the clogged misters on the other two plants before they suffered any real damage but they were beginning to wilt and were definitely stunted a little compared to plant 4. The mild periods of stress is beginning to really show in these autos which shows how crucial it is to nail them. Nonetheless, things are going great. Wait until you see the new root growth from switching to aeroponics. The amount of new fuzzy root hairs is crazy.
Nothing to worrie about DoubleD. Plants are not perfect they are living things that like everything that lives can have imperfections. She is looking really nice and you did a great job so far. I wish you the best for the rest of the grow and your future grows!
Looks like the switch to flower has begun. They are gulping down water and nutrients and stretching like crazy at the moment. I tied them down pretty good to keep them from outgrowing my space and it exposed a lot more bud sites. Win-win.
Still stretching. Wouldn’t be mad if it stopped as it is plenty big. Should stop soon.. looks like energy is about to transfer into budding. Added my p300 to the tent now that flowering is underway. Smell is pretty strong at this point. When I pinch the stems I get a strong sweet gassy smell.
As week 6 comes to an end and week 7 begins, stretching seems to have stopped. Buds are beginning to fill in. THC becoming more apparent. Smell still nice and strong. This bad boy smells so freaking good and each one smells slightly different. If you have ever had the Mr. Clean strain... this smells like that but with gassy, fruity, earthy undertones.
At this point im basically just using maxibloom with a splash of cal -mag. Ill use koolbloom last few weeks of flower but thats it. Less is more folks. I see a lot of new growers on here using a million different things and end up with tiny ass plants lol. .
.
All is good so far. Buds are super frosty, dense, and smell amazing.
Already seeing some trichomes turn to amber. Was expecting much slower maturation since this is a sativa strain. Thing is progressing so quickly. Must be the Bob Marley music I've been playing for them
Buds have fattened up nicely this week. Defoliated a few fans leaves today.. just a few.
Buds are fattening up nicely! Adding Koolbloom to my nutrients to fatten up the buds even more. The gassy, sweet smell has changed to an even better smell. Its almost like the two smells combined together to make their own unique smell haha.
1lb auto?
What do yall think? 1-2 weeks left of flower? Im getting very impatient since the nugs are fat and dense already. I just finished week 5 of flower. Seeing lots of clear, some cloudy, and some amber near the tops.
I'd say you have another couple of weeks... her fade is just starting from what I can see. Best if you get a jewelers loupe or some other way of getting a real close look at the trichs - and then deciding what kind of effect you want from her... if you only want a head high, wait until the trichs are all cloudy.... if you want both a head high and some relaxation, get about 10-20% amber showing... anything more than that and you're heading into couchlock territory... so your choice!
Good luck! Great looking grow!
To start week 6 of flowering, I pulled off a little tester nug. Gave it a 4 day dry and its nice and dense. Safe to say I could harvest any time from now. I plan to let the plant fade some then start flushing.
Its now at the end of week 10 or week 6 of flower... the fade is happening very fast. Trichs are turning amber towards the tops of the plant and cloudy in the middle. I have began flushing these 3 girls and plan to chop in the next week. Maybe day 80 or so from seed.
So I have always grown DWC and my plants usually take 90-100 days to finish. Definitely liking this recirculating low pressure aeroponics setup better than DWC. It grows the plants faster, bigger, denser, and healthier. Having an external reservoir and pump setup was the game changer for me though. Top-offs and complete changes were sooo much easier than doing each bucket individually at a time.

It was fun to grow this strain that was supposedly Bob Marleys favorite strain. The best way I can describe the smell produced by my Lambs Breath is gassy and fruity..its definitely a unique smell. The smell is strong and potent . The plant grew pretty big for an auto and produced rock hard Christmas tree shaped buds. The high is great as well. Very much so a sativa high with a mix of body high that you'd expect from an indica. Wasnt a huge fan of the leafiness of this strain. Trimming was a pain in my rear. The trim would prevent me from growing this one again but would say its worth it just to experience it one time.
