7 days officially since putting the seeds into their pods. Roots are not quite fully stretched out of the net basket (they are still in water however), but I imagine they will be by next week. Next week I’ll begin to add Hydroguard into the mix as well.
PH is sitting at a 5.5 with an EC of 0.8.
Mars Hyrdo SF6500 light is at 30% power 18 inches above the plants.
Do any of you know when in the process I should be adding in the RapidStart? Today I added the Armor Si Silica Supplement about 30 minutes before adding the Flora Series (micro then gro then bloom), where I then added the rapidstart. I tested the PH and it was sitting at about 7, where I then added the PH Down to get to about 5.5 as I know the PH can rise after a couple of days.
A fantastic strain!! I’ve grown it twice now and loved it both times. After the first run, I went to an outdoor concert with two joints. I stoned out a buddy of mine and then right as the main act was about to start, I fired up the second joint and some guy comes up offering his vape pen in exchange for a hit because it smelled so amazing from afar. Turned out I knew his wife who walked up and we all laughed and smoked and enjoyed every last bit of that joint. It’s one of the few plants I’ve grown to force me to sit down after a big bong hit. Good luck with your grow!!
@SMOKIN_BUDZ, haha I started growing in a 1 gallon bucket - never got any decent results though. Switched to Soil but I missed it and saved up some $$$ so I could make the move to a more legit system. Couldn’t be happier with the results this far, as this is my first grow in this system! Cheers buddy!
Im sorry you are running out of room! I have the same issue with DWC making my plants grow super good LOL. I just chopped down a few plants because they stretch too much for my low height grow room. Ordered yet another strain thats supposed to be short but again this DWC shit is off the chain if done right. Best of luck there.👊
If you have problems bending stems over, squeeze the stem and crush the insides and carefully bend over. If you dont do this they will just snap like you have been experiencing.
@Thundrfuk, thank you sharing! I’ve been reluctant to try anything like that in flower since I don’t want to risk stunting their growth, but then again I don’t want them growing all the way up to touching the lights lol 😂. I’ll give it a try!
Keep a fan on canopy while lights are on. I think your stretch is pretty well over with this week as it is week 4 of flower roughly. My suggestion would be to keep your temp as cool as possible and to just ride it out. If anything grows tall enough where it's touching your fixture just chop er off and cut losses
